"Czardas" with Maxim Vengerov and bass players

I just stumbled across this great video of violinist Maxim Verngerov and several bass players playing Monti’s “Czardas”. Does anyone know who these bassists (particularly the one playing the solo part) are? Leave me a comment if you know. Stephen Swanson (of the Spokane Symphony) tells me that the solo bass is Roman Patkolo, and Jan Jirmasek is accompanying on bass.
