Edgar Meyer I Concerto No.1 for Double Bass
It’s all about the bass, the engine that drives the entire orchestra - but have you ever heard it solo? Multi Grammy award-winning American bassist and composer Edgar Meyer joins CCOHK in performing Bottesini’s double bass masterpiece and his own concerto, a hybrid of bluegrass and Haydnesque styles brimful with Meyer-made tricks. Baroque-inspired works by Boccherini and Schnittke round off the programme.
