Jason Heath’s Double Bass Blog

This video features a performance of the Rossini Duetto for Cello and Bass. There is a loud buzz at the opening of the video, but keep watching–the fidelity gets better. Guy Tuneh was a former pupil of Professor B. Sanderling in Berlin, and he currently studies with Wolfgang Güttler in Basel.

I have worked with Güttler in the past, and I can see a lot of his playing in Guy Tuneh’s performance. Check out how much these guys ham it up during this piece!
