Zigeunerweisen by Sarasate
It seems that Sarasate’s Zigeunerweisen has become popular among double bass players, so I decided to upload my own version for two Double Basses.

Everything else, including classical pieces re-arranged by us for the trio; the music of the nations of the ...

Flight of the Bumble-Bee by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Arranged for two Double Basses and performed by Lev Weksler. I approached several superb pianists about recording with me the piano part of the Flight of the Bumble-Bee. None of them agreed, perhaps because they didn't feel that a bassist is worthy of accompaniment. I was frustrated at first, but than calmed down, thinking that maybe they fea...

Show this to that behs guy
YOUR LEFT HAND TECHNIQUE IS INSANE!! HOW???
The BUMBLEBEES would stop to listen !!!!!
Отличная музыка на контрабасе контрабас Кстати мой самый любимый струны смычковый музыкальный инструмент
👌 Encore!
As a bassist, I can respect this man so much
This is a wonderful rendition! Would you be open to it being used as the musical accompaniment to a timelapse video? Fully credited and linked back to this page, of course!
loved it!
Not a double bass player (electric guitar/bass, primarily a metal musician), but that left hand technique is not the "standard" one, right? I've never seen anyone play in that position, using the thumb and hitting the strings from above like that. It does look extremely efficient though. Might just be the fact that i've never seen anyone play something this fast and complex on a double bass
Crazy how this instrument can be either one of the lowest or one of the highest out there.
singing while playing is actually very hard to do. Lev you have a great talent everyone wishes they had
Do you have a sheet music for this piece for Double bass?
Браво! Очень впечатлила мастерская игра на контрабасе....
Спасибо!
IDK what I was expecting but it wasn’t this.. holy crap! 😮
I never knew that you can play such high pitched notes on a DB , I love your magic fingers, you're so great 💝💝💝💝💝
while the tone quality is quite impressive, I think I can here a slight amount of audio editing. I'm not accusing you of fraud, but i would like to know if you do any post-editing to make the audio clearer/higher quality.
It seems this song was written for double bass.
yeah you can tell he has improved a lot and it is insane keep it up Lev
Looks like George Carlin 🤔
I wanna know what the piansts that rejected this guy thought after seeing this masterpiece
Incredibly awesome and super stellar.
Very bad performance. Hahaha, just kidding
I cannot play that high without it screeching like a dying rat, help.
♥Genial ♥
I love how flight of the bumblebee has basically become a meme
Masterful bowing technique makes the use of glissando sound like each note was individually fingered. Incredibly impressive timing and articulation, beautifully and musically performed. Kudos and bravo! 👏
Talented twins!
Beautiful! Masterfully played
Thank you!
Are they twins? I ♥️ this music! 🤩😎
Holy shit, this is really one of the best performances of this piece I've ever seen. I've been a professional double bass player myself for about 36 years, so I know how difficult what you're doing is. Well done! Really excellent playing. I only know one living bassist who can play it better, and that's Roman Patkolo.
this video helped me find my airpods
masterful
Brilliant!
Very nice! I do enjoy your videos! By the way, I can see that you are indeed playing as per the movement of your left and right hands are synchronized and it matches the sound you're producing. But your instrument sounds a little artificial. What kind of sound treatment you make?
Thanks for the compliment. To answer your question: I sprinkle salt and pepper on the microphone while recording!
@@levweksler1819 oh sure! That must cause the vibrato when you play an open string! 😅
@@ilsospetto4608 This is wrong. If you see me playing on an empty string in this piece of music, it's because you misunderstood my advice: salt and pepper should be sprinkled on the microphone, not on the eyes. Capiche?
@@levweksler1819 actually, the open string vibrato is on the Zigeunerweisen you posted a year ago. It's hard to manage so many MIDI files, isn't it? I can also give the you the mark so you can hurry up and edit it: 0:11.
@@ilsospetto4608 I find your role as a music critic unsatisfactory. I especially ‘liked’ your comments about my ‘empty vibrating strings' and my ‘MIDI files’ in my Zigeunerweisen video. That's why I decided to offer you a more serious role that will help you and others better understand the issues of falsifying music. I am ready, in front of you, as a witness, to record “live” on camera that same Zigeunerweisen and post it on CZcams. I live in Brooklyn, N.Y. Let me know if you have the opportunity and desire to take part in such an event.
Great performance!
as a bass player, I think i should retire

Was that one person or identical twins? Very talented person(s)!
🤗You can see the passion this man has for music, the way he plays .Amazing performance. God bless u.THANKS
Thank you too!
This is my favorite song.😊
Those old school fingers are getting it done.
I know this was 9 years ago, but I listened to this once when I started playing double bass, and I just listened to it again after more experience (studying this instrument in college) and there are a few questionable characteristics about this performance. If you listen to it with quality headphones it sounds just like the recording is from MIDI. I'm almost 98% sure this entire performance is entirely fake. Each note is incredibly separated from the other, and it does not match the fluidity of the bowings. The fingerings are questionable when playing the ascending arpeggios (they would be larger leaps). I am not trying to spread hate I just don't want people thinking double bass sounds like this MIDI recording. Double Bass sounds much more beautiful, for example, watch any live performance of Bottesini's Concerto for Double Bass. I really wish this wasn't faked, but I truly think it is. It gave me hope when I started playing bass and now it is just sad.
I also noticed that the critiques in the comments I saw a couple years ago have been deleted. That says something. Something else to add, it is almost impossible to slide on harmonics like he did at the end. His bowings are extremely inconsistent.
I am very sorry that my video inspired you to take up the double bass, because you just wasted your time and will never become a double bass player for the reason that you do not believe that the double bass is a musical instrument. By the way, if you believe in someone's motivation for the falsification you describe, it means that you yourself would have made such a thing if you could. Why don't you try? At least to prove that it is possible?
