CD Reviews

The "Ace" of Bass

Lawrence D. Devoe | Augusta,GA,USA | 03/26/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ludwig Streicher is well known in musical circles for his orchestral performances. This is understandable since the double bass is not considered a recital instrument. This disc will definitely change your opinions. The virtuosity of Herr Streicher is absolutely amazing. He brings out the real voice of this instrument and it will be surprising to listeners who have never heard the total range of the bass. The highlight of this recital is the final work, "a bassist's nightmare." It is an incredible amalgam of some of classical music's greatest hits. If this were not enough, the audio quality of this CD is outstanding!"
