The Double Bass: Robert Oppelt & Friends 

 

 

This 2006 release depicts the orchestral sounding bass alone, in duos, in quintet, and for those who want to overdose on deep bass acoustics, in a quartet of four double basses.

 

Special thanks to the NSO musicians who collaborated on the CD, which is also an ALS support project (Oppelt's father, violist and violin/viola pedagogue Robert L. Oppelt, passed away from ALS in 2001). Thanks also to James Wilson, who chose to honor his mother by supporting this project (Joan G. Wilson succumbed to ALS in 2005). The CD is available from MSR Classics and Amazon.
