Музыка
This is the 2nd part of our very special interview series with the legendary bassist and educator, François Rabbath. Filmed in Paris in early 2022, this video takes a detailed look at 'Rabbath Technique' and what you need to know when applying it to your music. Topics include bowing, vibrato, the crab technique, composition, and much more! François shares so much to help you on your journey and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
At the end of the video, we were joined in the studio by pianist Sylvain Rabbath who accompanies the maestro for a performance of François Rabbath's 'Ibérique Péninsulaire (Ou Espoir)'.
Many thanks to François Rabbath for joining us and we wish you a very happy 91st birthday year! 🥳
