velvetkevorkian Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 I saw Edgar Meyer in Glasgow about a year or two ago. Absolutely astonishing- he can do things I didn't think were possible on DB, and gets such a massive sound from his incredibly small bass.

chris_b Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Excellent playing. You can hear the Bela Fleck influences in Meyer's playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrkelly Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Edgar is probably my favourite soloist. Check out his recording of the Bottesini concerto, there's so many great players out there but none can touch him on that recording. It's on a completely different level! Think it may be on spotify.

Cairobill Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 (edited) Meyer is great. Check this out... Few people can make a bass sound this good. His intonation is staggeringly accurate and his playing is simply astonishing. Most arco in thumb position, even when played by really good players, often sounds slightly kooky and out of tune to me. This, however, is right on the money and extremely beautiful...

Bassworm Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Also, check out his album 'Uncommon Ritual' Fabulous stuff. He's also done an album of the Bach cello suites on DB, it's definitely worth a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
