It is one of the orchestra’s deep voices. Its tall figure always stands out. Its warm, powerful sound has won over many hearts. As an essential harmony component, the double-bass is the lead of this concert dedicated to the string section.
The deepest of all string instruments has found a piece to match its sound: Bottesini’s double bass concerto. This contemporary of Romantic composers was nicknamed “the Paganini of double bass”.
