Bottesini Bass Concerto no.2 …arranged for two basses!

If you’re a double bass player, there’s a very high chance that Bottesini’s Concerto no.2 in B minor will have featured at some point in your musical journey; be it in a repertoire class, a recital, an audition, or if you’re really lucky, with the full force of an orchestra accompanying you. But realistically, you’ll most likely prepare the first movement for an audition…

Two members of the Concertgebouw Orchestra, Théotime Voisin and Felix Lashmar, have taken matters into their own hands, performing Bottesini’s aforementioned Concerto in a special arrangement for two double basses. Perfect for when you don’t have a pianist or symphony orchestra at your disposal, and probably more fun, too.
