Virtuoso Double Bass


The double bass, largest of the standard string instruments, may surprise you with its expressiveness! This fascinating and highly enjoyable disc of rarities was recorded with one of the world's greatest bass players, Gary Karr.








Karr considers this to be one of his most important recordings primarily for the Josephs Concerto which is one of the truly great works for doublebass with orchestra. Karr also pays homage on this CD to his teacher, Stuart Sankey, by performing his Carmen Fantasy. With the addition of the Grieg Concerto, this is a very listenable recording.
