New Music for Double Bass

New Music for Double Bass

Works that showcase the double bass have always been comparatively rare in classical music. Bassist Edgar Meyer, however, has worked hard to get his instrument up front. Meyer’s Quintet for Bass and Strings is featured on this week’s show, with guest host Scott Blankenship.
