This thoroughly entertaining disc presents the double bass as a solo instrument in a programme of light classics designed to show off its capabilities. As well as providing the excellent playing, soloist Bent Grosen enlivens the CD cover and the booklet with a series of amusing caricatures, worthy of Gerard Hoffnung, featuring his instrument and some of his colleagues and teachers. |
