Paul Erhard presents a program of Italian, Finnish and Russian double bass works that are lively, passionate and fun. The recital is built around two duos: Rossini's Duet for Cello and Double Bass delivers a wonderful spirit and lots of dialogue between the cello and double bass; Bottesini's Gran Duo, perhaps the most loved duo of all time for violin and double bass (with piano accompaniment), promises virtuoso excitement. The program also includes other beautifully lyrical works.
