What emotion? Pure envy!! I wish I could play so beautifully - especially Rinat Ibragimov on his 3-string bass

Couldn't agree more. He plays the DB with a grace more remeniscent of smaller instruments.

Thank you for posting these, a real pleasure to hear.

I'm glad this had a great response! Rinat is a very special musician! He has captured the piece and executed it with so much grace. You actually forget how dexterous you have to be to play these pieces! let alone play with spectacular intonation and musicality!

Here is a full concert of Duncan Mctier! He is an absolute delight to listen to!
His performance of Rachmaninov's Vocalise is just epic!

Yeah! I was gonna post that track, but wasn't sure it strictly counted with the classical vibe of this thread. Edgar's solo entry makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck.

[FLoydElgar]

@Hector Yeah I suppose it does!! However, I'm open - post away!
