David Ballam sent me a link to a video of Edicson Ruiz of the Berlin Philharmonic performing the Concerto for Double Bass by Lars-Erik Larsson. The conductor in the video is Eduardo Marturet. What an amazing player! You will have to use (the dreaded) Real Player to view this. My apologies, but it is well worth it.
Here is the link to the low bandwidth version and the high bandwidth version.
