An informed reader responded to an earlier post on the current state of double bass playing (quite high in my opinion) by recommending a couple of recordings that I want to pass on.
I happen to own the first one, the Double Bass Concerto by the Estonian composer Eduard Tubin. The soloist is the superb Hakan Ehren (frankly his playing is superior to the violin soloist also featured on the recording).
The other recommendation is a recording of Giannini's Psalm 130 by bassist Richard Fredrickson I have not heard this CD yet but I do know and love Giannini's lush, well-crafted neo-romantic style. I am not familiar with Fredrickson's playing either.
If any readers know this CD or Richard Fredrickson's playing, I am eager to hear your comments.
