Even the part of their tuning could sound 100x better than my whole gig playing.

Just because it's written for violin, it doesn't mean you have to play it on violin.

Nicely done. I really enjoy listening to the contrabass. It is highly underrated.

Absolutely beautiful.

i wish i could play my bass as beautifully as these two men also i wish i could play piano like the pianist

I just saw Joseph Conyers on PBS today. I didn’t know anything about him. I like Shostakovich & this is perfect to get to know more about him and the other players here.

I just want to say Thank You

Beautifully done.

Beautiful 😍

I thought they were just really small people

This is slightly humorous: the one on the left looks as if he's stalking the one on the right and about to pounce at any moment! Having said that ... this music is quite amazing and very unusual. Thank you for posting.

I've been looking for a transcription of this piece I can play with my daughter, who plays cello. If you have any info, I'd greatly appreciate it.

The intonation at 2:30 and the look at 2:32... Hillarious:)

I've listened to 2:30 twice. Ther is nothing wrong with the intonation. I think you misread what the expression meant. I hear some sketchy intonation in the 2nd movement. Intonation on the contrabass is always a challenge , especially up there in thumb position. These guys are are playing beautifully.

@@ForcedMemeIsAMeme yeah totally. The tone was so clean

Are those guys really small, or just really far away?

They play very beautiful. I think 'solo tuning scordatura' is not necessary in all solo works for double bass, like this.

some parts are really not the most in tune but it's still pretty impressive.

No ones saying it, but we’re all thinking it

What. Saying what?

Idk if y'all realized but those aren't violins...

you’re right of course.Extreme virtuosity like Edgar Meyers or Gary Karr is hard to acheive. I’ve heard Ron Carter play out of tune, ditto Paul Chambers, but these guys have a great blend and approach.

Because Violin it's just a portable Bass

I can assure you that those aren't violins

Amazing job! However, why? More idiomatic compositions are needed. Valentine is the best piece I've heard for bass violin. We need more compositions, not in the same vein as Valentine, per-say, but more out of the box philosophy.

Dear commenters, a bass violin keeps being a violin.

I never knew Cello could be so beautiful 😍

Anki ThreeSidedTriangle is right. I play the cello. This is a double bass. There are four string instruments. Sorted by size (descending) there are: Double bass, Cello, Viola, Violin.

At least it's not on viola
