Rinat Ibragimov, principal double bass of the London Symphony Orchestra, performs Bach's 3rd Cello suite, which he hopes will help encourage student bass players to explore Baroque playing and Bach's music in particular.

i don't know if this is actually encouraging or just scares the rest of us students out there but Ibragimov shows right here why he is the principle bass player of the LSO

The lower 2 strings are low sounding, but not low enough to be inaudible. The only reason he doesn't play on those 2 strings very much is all about the placement/sound of the notes he is playing. On the bass, we can play the same note on different strings, but in a piece like this, it's just much more convenient to play on the top 2 strings and doesn't require the bassist to move their hand as much as they would have to move it if they also played the lower notes on the low strings.

Hum, I'm wondering if he is tuned like a cello to play this.

Ragequit.

I am fascinated by this. I've started playing around with the cello recently. I can only imagine how hard this is. By the way, I noticed he rarely uses the two lower strings. Are the in the audible range or just reserved for calling elephants?

this has really encouraged me and found this really useful in helping me play the fryba suites

[alzonfire]

seriously? 3 dislikes? :O

[pelonpelonchaz]

And he is such a great person, i write him and he answer 5 minutes later :)....

I'm speechless. I mean seriously... this guy can play this on the double bass. That makes people who can play this on the cello look like little weaklings... He's definitely the 'Yoda' of the cello.
