Guy Tuneh performs Mozart
Today’s video features double bassist extraordinaire Guy Tuneh (former Contrabass Conversations guest) performing the Mozart Kirchensonaten in C Major for the 2009 Bodensee Festival. Guy has appeared many times here on the blog and on Contrabass Conversations, and it’s great as always to feature him again. Enjoy!

Thanks J.
I was waiting for long time to see this AMAZING bassist in action and in complete video.
A.
Guy is such a delightful player.
One of the finests!
Party for the ears and eyes!
Didn’t we already see the first Mozart?
however – Great performance.
(despite of non-stable minor intonation by the Violins)
As you said Guy is extraordinaire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This video is much better: (Wolfgang Güttler and Guy D. Tuneh)

Dear Mr. Heath, (why are you moderating comments?)
Mr. Tuneh is a master of passion, it hits my heart…, long time ago….
Thanks you so for this video!
M a r v e l o u s !
Observing his left hand, it looks like Guy is practicing musical scale non-stop!
I’m still trying to understand his right hand technic sample…
Thanks for this educational experience.
(Ahh… was it the same Video that I’ve seen a few minutes ago?)
Whats going J.?
Is it out as a DVD or something like this?
Guy schuld work alone!!
As a Soloist his charisma is unbeatable. I know that as a Soloist it’s very hard to pay the bills, but still Solo-playing is his Domain!
@ Christian,
This recordering is something special (where did you got it?), but can it be that Mr. Tuneh is off-putting Guettler?
Guy is playing AMAZING – his spiccato is even better than BADILAs spiccato!
Thanks Chris!
Sorry, its where did you get it? and not as i wrote down before!
Gosh.
Why is he moving so much??
My teacher is saying all the time that the bass sould be stable, is it wrong??
Na Rainer, da hast du ein Volltreffer mit diesem Bassist! Was für ein Ausnahmetalent!
For those, who understand German:

merveilleux, fantastique!
Great. FINALLY you can hear every detail of Guys playing.
(something that I was waiting for – Hi Fi sound)
And indeed he is an artistic genius – he dosn’t repeat the same bow character twice.
His excessive sensibility to the music is outstanding (& arouses envy…).
Why former Contrabass Conversations guest?
You repeat all the this “former”!
last time was before two years, what about now one?
sincerely a true fan!
P.S. thanks to both of you, you and Christian!
Why cann’t I see my comment?
(its a “Loca” world….)
N I C E ! / S c h ö n !
I had masterclass with this Violin player, his name is Rainer Kussmaul – A Great Violin Prof. from Germay!
He was Conertmaster with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra!
I’ve said this before on the blog, but I’ll repeat it again–I have to moderate comments on this blog (if you saw the nasty and vitriolic comments that come in every day you would understand). I also have a real job and therefore do not just sit in front of the computer all day waiting to read comments. If I’m lucky, I get a chance to check in once a day and moderate comments.
I therefore find it very irritating to get comments like “Why can I not see my comment?” You can’t see it because I haven’t had a chance to moderate comments! A good way to not get your comment posted is to leave multiple comments bugging me about why you can’t see your comment.
Remember, this is not a pubic forum. This is a private site, owned and operated by me. I’m just trying to share some of Guy Tuneh’s playing, and I’ll review comments when I get a chance… which is not every 10 minutes!
Thanks Jason
Great Video!
and Just keep on in what you do!
You can see more classical music video clips on Blip.TV if you sign up. Unfortunately there is less description of what group, who is the conductor, what orchestra and what instrumentalists and etc., you are seeing than on YouTube Thanks for your sharing these gems, Jason.
Dear Christian:
As far as I Know, Wolfgang Güttler considered to be as one of the best out there. Mr. Güttler should be very proud to be such a trust teachers, though, he should fight bravely as an escort (Tuneh is giving him hard time in this Video). This is clear to me that Güttler had nothing to do with Tuneh’s expression, his playing philosophy, his technical expertise, etc. Güttler is something like a professional jober, he seems to me like someone who is properly and professionally, but Tuneh seems to me like someone who is driven by passion, something more like a fire type, very fine, intuitive and beautifully elegant. It could stand as an opposition and therefore be very special, well, it’s a shame that the sound quality is so la la.
Jason, your video is splendid! Guy has so many sides, thank you for showing us some of them!
As someone already said in one of the German Blogs:
Guy Tuneh is the Michael Jackson of Double-bass!
He is not only playing, he is presenting performing arts, he is acting and creating a sensation. its a show not only bass-playing!
Yep Jason you gotta point!
but this time your server is not cracking down!
About this exceptional talent there is no doubt, the problem with this kind of talents is, that they are burning out and becoming very fast to swim meaningless through life!
However; very very nice Video!
All the best, Martin
Is it possible to hear/see Guy playing the Dittersdorf Concerto (No. 2 in E-major) for Double bass and Orchestra?
Thanks Jason!
keep on rocking the free world!
Speaking of ISB, I would like to see the day when Guy Tuneh is in the convention.
Its just Great to witness his Videos!
Guy Tuneh = génial!
Great – Guy Tuneh is HQ sound and the whole work!
Jason you are the best bloger in the world!
Woeee…
I just cann’t wait to see Mr. Tuneh in Paris next month, with his new ensemble “Les Dissonances”.
I bet he is an extraordinaire as principal Bassist!
SIMPLY THE BEST!
Bassist is to give solid bass and NOT try to be the STAR!!
(if I cann’t comment, than why this empty-comment-space?)
However – what a gusto!
Looks to me that I need:
to practise & to practise & to practise & to practise & to practise & to practise & to practise…
and then
& to practise & to practise & to practise …
What A Dream-Team!!!
The Great Rainer Kussmaul – Ex Concertmaster with the Berlin Philharmonic. (btw. one of his students got the job as Concertmaster with the Berlin Philharmonic last year!)
Mr. Hommel – Principal Oboe with the Ensemble-Modern Frankfurt (as an Orgel player).
AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST Double bass Virtuoso – Guy David Tuneh.
and Jason as the best Bloger on earth!!
Isn’t this Great, two generations togher on stage without clashes between them!
God bless HQ!
God bless Guy Tuneh!
God bless J. Heath
&
God bless America and the rest of the World!!!
And God bless Wolfgang Amade Mozart!!

K A R M B A ! !
Are they going to release CD or DVD or Something like this?
très impressionnant!
Very nice, hieno ja siro!
Glass Bordeaux, to sit next to the fireplace, relaxing and enjoying Guy Tuneh in Hi Fi sound via my Mark Levinson Audio-component…
Mr.Heath, it would be great to have someone like Guy in the next Convention.
sincerely
Andre
Dose anyone know how Guy holds his Bow ?
Thanks J.
He has his own way of holding the Bow.
He never holds the Bow the same, German or Franch
he changes between the both and use his own “now-how”.
Speaking of holding his Bow,
I would like to see Mr. Tuneh playing with French-bow.
As far as I know he has his own Bow-holding!.
Taking a look at his “home” picture on guytuneh.com proofs that. The strings in the picture are D’Addario, well this is to decoy, he uses other strings, I think something like hand-made strings but still its not clear which…
BTW.: in CBC – Guy Tuneh episode, No one word about the strings he uses, even not one word about the music-notes that he uses for his GREAT performances (Elgar, Rococo etc.), this info could be useful – for those to try to play this works also, that all about!
This could be the next issue to ask about…
Calus gotta point!
I would love to get more information about Mr. Tunehs “now-how”.
Yep, I think like Claus. However what A splendid way to performing with contrabass!
What an Artist
King of expression !!
Splendid playing!!
I dont even feel that I need to compar his outstanding playing with someone else – he is one of a kind!
