Although this CD is much older, this recording of Gary Karr playing these wonderful classical concertos for double bass is the best I've heard. There is so much emotion and intensity in the performance that makes the listener never want the music to end. Karr projects over the orchestra with such ease, which is a problem for most Double Bassists because the sound is so low. I've yet to find a better recording of these Concertos; the Koussevitzky is my favorite and the unique cadenza Karr performs in the Dragonetti Concerto is beautiful. You can't go wrong with this CD. ---Daniel, amazon.com
