The only bqssist who can play Bach on bass and make it sound true. Others may have great technique but they make Bach sound rather ridiculous. I think i heard all of them on YouTube, and i don't care if i ever hear them again. But Meyer is in a class of his own.

I'm lucky enough to say that I parked next to Mr. Meyer when he played with the Fresno Philharmonic. Quelle privilege! It certainly was a night tom remember. I love all the work you do !

Check out his version of the violin piece zigeunerweisen. Some of his passages sound like a Hammond b3.

Simply amazing!

such a relief to get away from the Biebers, Ga Ga's and Lil Waynes...at least for a bit.

-
wow..... sounds awesome in the Bass
-
@bugman043 sure you have found out by now, but it is the prelude to Bach's second cello suite 0:55
-
@CGiordano464 i think in Norway they make violins with double strings. awesome sound; check it out

Why all of the hate? I challenge any bass player to produce that type of sound on the Bach Suites, or any piece in general. He's a fabulous musician.

There are many fine contrabass soloists. However, only one cuts to the core.
There are a few guys who can put on a seriously entertaining high-wire act on contrabass. But they can't touch this guy.
I've seen world-class violinists, violists, and cellists reduced to silence by Edgar's playing.
The bass acrobatic circus ends here kids, This ain't a bass playing freak show, full of entertaining pyrotechnics
.
This is music. The real deal. As deep as it gets.
