Which almost ontologically prove the existence of God! (Yes, it is that beautiful.)

The kiss at the end! Ad maiorem Dei gloriam!!!

Beautiful! Thank you for this! A real inspiration

#22_Well_🇺🇸

Wow, bravo! Thanks for this! You’d most likely not pass a round though, your playing is too good😂

Bravo Maestro! 👏🏻

GREAT! THANKS! PAX!

Very nice.. love the pizzicato / unison piano ending.. and the back lit IPads makes life so much easier! Modern times! Beautiful

Beautiful!

I know that there is only a one octave difference between a cello and a double bass that is tuned in fifths -- but wow, this instrument and this talented player is up there with YoYo Ma. It is not really about which is better, except that here there a strength and physicality to playing the double bass at this level. Coming back down to earth, I retuned my own double bass yesterday to fifths, and I must say, what a difference a day makes.

Fantastic! Terrific!

Wow!! Der kann was.

amazing 0:

Joel!....That Wood ,sounds ,...so good! (in that space!) tx!

Legendary bassist

Thank you máster .listening from🇦🇷

Just wonderful! Thank you!

Making an instrument of that size disappear is no easy feat. Incredible playing!!

Quarringon is (to my mind) the best bassist in the world, and I use his 5th tuning (about which a lot more should be said online!). But there is NO note here that can't be played on cello. What's the point? Great virtuosity, but it's like watching an elephant ride a tricycle.

absolutely spectacular!

That makes a lot of fun :)

The first bassplayer I ever heard, that would be able to make me overthinking my own phrasing and usage of tone when I as a cellist play the suites...

Thank you Mr. Quarrington

Transposed to A to suit the (tuned in fifths) instrument, and brilliantly arranged. (He sounds great too but that goes without saying!) Also seems to be using an ergobass.

Hermoso

Espectacular🎉

Lo amé, que hermoso timbre. ❤

What a phenomenal sound!!! Absolutely incredible playing. This is the best version I've ever heard of this suite played on the double bass. So incredibly beautiful !

Using his trademark fifths tuning, but transposed up to G. I suppose playing it in the original C would be too muddy. One way he manages fifths tuning is by spending very little time in first and second position where unavoidably you're shifting for almost every note. Up in fourth position, you're at cello string length and can play one finger per half step like cellists do. I could add that he sounds great but with him that goes with out saying!

Это вдохновляет.

Не понимаю, какой строй у контрабаса?

Lovely thanks for sharing .

I love how you play Bach’s cello suites. So musical and so beautiful. Thank you sir!

Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my tired soul for restoring hope in the potential of the double bass, I have never heard such a clean piece of music ever before, the sound is beyond comprehension beautiful

Always amazed by the beauty and precision of every gesture. Thank you for sharing your passion for Bach’s music.

Gracias Joel! Se siente el amor por la música en cada nota!
