Guy Tuneh and Mischa Meyer play Rossini Duetto mvt 1 – Allegro


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!

You can visit Guy Tuneh online at www.guytuneh.com. Here is some biographical information about him:


Guy David Tuneh has been studying in Germany and performing internationally. He is noted for his intense musical involvement and phenomenal performances, combining virtuosity and musicality. Mr. Tuneh has been active as a solo performer, chamber musician, orchestra and opera bassist. Having begun as a violin student at the age of 6, he was drawn to the tone color of the double bass, joining Prof. Michael Klinghoffer’s bass studio at the S. Rubin Academy of Music at Tel Aviv University. Later, he continued his bass studies under Prof. Barbara Sanderling at the Hochschule Für Musik “Hanns Eisler” in Berlin, he is now working towards a Solo Artist Diploma with Prof. Wolfgang Güttler at the Hochschule für Musik in Basel. Additionally, he took master classes with Yoan Goiilav, Gary Karr and Miloslav Gajdos. His orchestra performances included engagements as a principle bassist with the Berliner Kammeroper, Ensemble “Echo” in the Deutsche Staatsoper Berlin, Theater Erfurt, and most recently with the Solistes Européens Luxembourg. As an orchestra bassist Mr. Tuneh performed under such distinguished conductors as Kurt Sanderling, Zubin Mehta, Sir Simon Rattle, Nicolas Harnoncourt and Christian Thielemann. Winner of a Villa Musica Scholarship, Guy Tuneh has performed all over Germany as a chamber musician and a soloist to great acclaim, and participated in chamber music and solo performances recorded by the SWR (Southwest German Radio). The “Allgemeine Zeitung” described his performance as youthful and exuberant.

    J a s o n ,

    Its impassible!

    Guy Tuneh played this Duo much before he has been a student of W. Güttler.
    This Video is from 2005! (according to Mr. Tuneh’s official website).
    Tuneh started to work with Güttler in the middle of 2006 (Güttler was his “Teacher” in a very special studies: Solo
    Artist Study, only 4 people get this chance in 6 Years, and as you can imagine Jason, bass players should not get it, But he got it, and it is clear why!)
    so, Tuneh got to know Güttler one and half years after this video have been done.

    But just in case thank you for this worldwide unique Video!

    p.s.;

    Imagine,

    Meyer & Tuneh played this Duo as Students in the “Villa Musica”
    in Germany, even before they finished the first Diploma.

    In the same concert played also: Prof. Ulf Rodenhäuser (Ex Solo Clarinet of the Berlin Philharmonic), Matthias Racz (Solo Bassoon
    in the same orchestra that Roman Patkolò is today in swizerland).

    The Reviews went untill the sky, no other student/Prof. in the “Villa Musica” got ever such review like Guy Tuneh got after this Concert.
    Mr. Tuneh still getting great reviews!.
    however,
    Meyer came as a Fresh student to Geringas’s class in Berlin and tuneh was before finishing his Berlin Diplom (he performed this concert without Barbara Sanderling knew about!).

    AMAZING how two people got Great performance that in many ways is a simble for a Genius Rossini Duo that make a wave of so much young and “old” performance who performe this peace again.
    Looking at Youtube, after this Video was Posted, came a wave
    of so many “Rossini Duos”, like a motivation portion!.

    I got to see Mr. Tuneh in concert with ENSENBLE-MODERN (the same Ensemble to performe with the great Frank zapa…)
    last week, its crazy, this guy is outstanding by all means.
    its the first time that I could really understand and even enjoy Modern-music!!
    Mr. Tuneh was the center of this ensemble in that piece, for a bass-player its very special!.

    Wowwwww

    BRAVO

    Dear Jason,

    the only problem is that Guy Tuneh didnt even know W. Guettler in that time, this video was made two years before Tuneh got to know Guettler in personal.!!
