This video features a performance of the second movement of the Rossini Duetto for Cello and Bass. 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. What an artist! Guy is such a sensitive bassist, and it is a real pleasure to hear them interpret this piece.
By the way, you can hear me perform this piece by clicking below:

“Beyond discipline, devotion, courage, openness, adventure, and honesty, I view passion as a requirement to achieve quality and perfection … Dedication, intensity, and love of the small details, inspires my approach that the “right spirit” is needed in order to achieve greatness, not only on the performance stage, but everywhere else.”
(the words of Guy Tuneh, from the website of the bow case carrying his name)
Maestro Tuneh,i can hear every one of your words in your way of playing the bass!
F A B U L O U S !!!
Jason you wrote:
“I can see a lot of his playing in Guy Tuneh’s performance”,
I dont see Güttler in his playing, i see more Badila.
But i see more Guy’s own way of playing.
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 later.
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!.
Michael
