The ending of the prelude sounds like an elephant late for the bus and sprinting! Mighty impressive to play this beast of a suite on the bass!
Vamooooo
fantastico
Beautiful job.
Sounds great!
I LOVE that tango! Bring it!
You sound fantastic so even and powerful. Can i ask what strings and bow you use. Thanks
Thanks! D’Addario Kaplans and a Zimmerman model German bow by Samuel Kolstien.
No tempo and sound agressive
Funny

This is Actually a GOOD cover!
I love the articulation you get on the 8th notes in the trio. The one thing I noticed about your recording, is that the device you were using has AGC engaged, which means it leveled out your awesome pp dynamics.
Nice rendition of Army Blue. I'll see if Moore Music can get me a copy of volumes 1 and 2. Once quick question.... For younger students (13 years old or less), do you introduce the open hand? I tend to favor waiting until about 14-16 years of age to give the hand time to grow and open up.
The Gale Triangulation of Fingering Systems, (both Volumes) are available at SheetMusicPlus.com SheetMusicDirect.com and DoubleBasshq.com for download. Yes, it is best to wait until the ages you mentioned until their hands are developed enough to handle open hand.
@@DrMarkMorton Thanks for taking the time to respond.
Lovely

Me too dude

It's so beautiful❤
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Why even use a double *_bass_* and then only use the top half of the top string? There's not a note there that couldn't have been played on a cello instead, and maybe even a viola.
Because the piece was written for the double bass.
It is not possible to recreate the harmonic melodies created in bass even if the cello or viola can play those notes.
What tempo is this?
I really don’t know 😊
@@AlexLeal-j1k Bro
He's playing around 150-160 BPM but mostly around 154 BPM.
Nicely done!
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing.
Excelente interpretación de esa hermosísima canción de los Beatles, todo perfecto, la voz , el arpa, genial, felicidades desde la Ciudad de México.
Gracias! Voy a estar en la ciudad de Mexico la semana proxima con la orquesta de la Universidad de Texas Tech!
We all feel better after some good Botessini, bravo :)
Ok 👍🏼 but he’s Bottesini.

It seems like ur bow is tightened a little too much, but other than that sounds rly good
I think that’s just a different style of bow. Baroque maybe? Correct me if I’m wrong!
Great stuff, Mark. I've often wondered why no well-known artists have ever covered this lovely song.
Yes, it is a lovely song - right up there with Schubert art song quality.
This is absolutely beautiful

I’m really struggling on the quick bits. Any tips?

I'm extremely impressed with your cover of one of my favorite Beatles songs. Harpest is excellent also. And your voice was spot on.... Thanks so very much.
Thank you!
