Dialogues With Double Bass

Entertaining Dialogues

I enjoyed listening to "Dialogues with Double Bass" from beginning to end. I would recommend this excellent disk without any reservations!

The range of instrumental colors makes this a varied and interesting listening experience. This recording captures the fine details of the instruments without losing any warmth.

Communication between the players is excellent. McCoy's bass playing is superb, with great feel and great timing.

I have heard other fine recordings of the Rossini, but this one is my favorite. Kudos to Jeremy McCoy for showing the potential of the double bass in duet settings! January 8, 2007

Dialogues With Double Bass

I bought this CD primarily for the recording of Elgar's Duet for Double bass and trombone. It contains a very wide variety of music, all of it good: however, because of the variety it is not often I feel like sitting down and listening to it in one sitting. It is more of a "dip into" CD.

Overall, tho, a very fine CD which shows off some of the textures available to the double bass.

Jeremy McCoy: Dialogues With Double Bass

This is a CD of duets with double bass in a classical music format. It is so refreshing that it does not sound confining like classical music can at times. I put it right up there with Yo-Yo Ma's Bach: The Cello Suites Inspired by Bach! Recording of instruments is clean, dynamic, yet highs and low in volumes are not so great that you are turning the volume up and down all the time. Five star on mi iPod! October 25, 2006
