Double bass & violone, classical, early music and more
Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre - Esther
In this recording you can hear the first recitativo and aria from Esther, the beautiful cantata by Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre (1655-1729), a charming and intriguing French musician, one of the very few well known female composers of her time. Definitely a composer worth rediscovering!

D Gabrielli, Ricercar 1
Просмотров 4282 года назад
A new video in this hot summer! I'm performing the first ricercar by the Bolognese composer Domenico Gabrielli in one of the halls of the majestic castle of Alden Biesen, Belgium. Despite the absurd temperatures, my bass managed to stay in tune, at least for this recording! And yes, I don't wear the most sober of shirts, but then again, music (and life) is full of colours, and I believe we shou...
W A Mozart, Canzonetta

Here's a lovely arrangement for double bass and Marimba of the famous "Canzonetta" from the even more famous opera "Don Giovanni" by W.A Mozart! This arrangement, made by my friend Valentina Ciardelli, bassist and composer, transforms our beloved instrument into a charming and malicious Don Giovanni, singing to his next victim, and the marimba into a string orchestra and a graceful mandolin acc...

Hello my friends! I hadn't published anything in a while (shame on me), so here's a new video! Some lore first. Months ago, I had tried to record the same piece, but the camera decided to abandon me halfway (shame on her), as you can see in my video "The Fryba fail". So, today I decided to give it again a try; it's been always been a very good occasion to try out my new set of Tempera strings o...

F. Schubert, Sonata "Arpeggione", Mov.1
Просмотров 1 тыс.3 года назад
Here it is, my interpretation of the first movement of the Arpeggione sonata by Franz Schubert! This playful, yet somehow melancholic piece, has been pleasing my ears for years, so I've been very happy when this year I've had the possibility to perform it live, despite the limitations imposed by the difficult times we're living. As I was mentioning before, this piece has for me a unique driven ...
The bow: The romantic, AKA the modern bow
Просмотров 4953 года назад
And there we are! The last chapter of this series! Today we're gonna take a close look at what we call the "modern" bow, whose design isn't that modern, actually, since it began to exist around the beginning of the Romantic era. Let's explore this peculiar design, and see how it works, what its pro's and con's are, and let's discover why it became so popular at a point that it's nowadays the mo...
P. Hindemith, Im diesen heiligen Hallen, Bahnsteig 5, Abfahrt 12-13
Просмотров 3944 года назад
Here's a short video of part of one of the funniest pieces I've ever played! This little suite for double bass by Paul Hindemith, simply named "Stücke", is a series of short fragments extracted from various operas, and used in a parodistic way. This specific one, "Im diesen heliligen Hallen, Bahnsteig 5, Abfahrt 12-13", is taken directly from the Magic Flute by W.A. Mozart, and inserted straigh...
F.Simandl, Etude n.1 from the 9 grosse etuden

I have recorded this video for the Facebook group "Studies for double bass challenge". This etude by Frantisek Simandl is one of my favourite etudes ever, combining various technical aspects with some enjoyable melodic lines, especially in the second and fourth fragment. It's a "must study" for all bass players, who are going to get great advantage and enjoyment out of it. Performed on gut stri...

New season, new piece! Here's my recording of Croatian composer Ante Bozić Kudrić's "Menuet"for contrabass. I particularly like the language of this piece, which begins in a rather traditional fashion, and as it develops it explores interesting and less usual harmonical solutions. Check it out! For whom is asking himself about my questionable outfit, well, he should come here and experience tod...

Beautiful
@@joldisyri8936 thank you so much!
Oh man hahaha
Bellissimo il violone.
Perfeição ❤
Obrigado! :)
Thanks a lot
Beautiful interpretation very Romantic like it should be. Mille Grazie
Thank you!!!
I played with gut strings for years. While breakage is rare, the only strings that ever broke for me were the gut strings. That has been my experience and may not be yours.
In the last 15 years I've broken 3 strings, and neither of them was a gut one 😅😆
Out of tune
Bravo Severino! interesante video...la sordina de ébano suena fantástica. Saludos desde Argentina.
I use a leather mute on my cello. One of my favorite tricks is to attach it using only one of the three legs in order to achieve a very subtle effect.
Even as a harpist where we deal with 19~35 gut strings Imma speak for us in case anyone is interested Yes they do go out of tune more often due to it being more flexible and stretchy compared to nylon and wire strings. As well for us yes, gut strings last way less compared to nylon strings and our wire strings last so long, it's just all the mechanics that it interacts with, the pedal discs and stuff. They just last not as long for us Interesting differences for the strings despite the material being the same, cool video!
Thank you! I think the continuous mechanical stress from the pedals and levers generates the wear and tear on harp strings, as you say. Luckily, that doesn't happen too much to us.
@@SeverianoPaoli yeah, that's the reality of it, still doesn't reduce string prices though 😂
Any recommendations on a LOW tension period accurate low E? I found a pirastro chorda as a period accurate silver wrapped low E, but it has 73 lbs of tension on it! I’m looking for a low E with 45 lbs of tension or less. Currently I’m using a plain gut E. I ordered an evah slap low E because of the tension sits at 45 lbs, yet it’s synthetic gut, which makes me sad. I’m excited to hear your thoughts!
I use Tempera strings (synthetic) for the E, so I can't really give you an advice. However, there is plenty of brands producing historical strings. I personally use Toro and Gamut.
@@SeverianoPaoli do you think synthetic is the better option for the low E?
@@joldisyri8936 that's what works best for me. I guess there's no black or white answer here, it's all about experimenting and finding ou.
Bravissimo!
Bravissimo!
Grazie mille!!!
Great video!!! I was wondering what your opinion on using an unwound E and A is. Are the E and A on your bass in this video unwound? Right now I’m using a gut d and g and a Corelli 370m E and A. Also I’m so happy I found your video, because people all over the internet say gut has a darker tone, yet I find it to be throaty, punchy, growlier, and brighter than steel. Sounds great under the bow too. Let me know!!
Thank you a lot!!! I personally prefer a plain A for a matter of response. I've got a Tempera low E in this setup, which goes very well with the plain gut strings.
@@SeverianoPaoli ah, very cool. I’m going to get a plain A and E when I can. Do you feel like a plain E can get good definition? I heard someone playing one on a video, the only one I could find, and it sounded huge and amazing with a focused tone center. Any experience with plain E’s?
@@joldisyri8936 plain As are, in my opinion, much better than wound ones. I did use a plain E sometimes, but it requires a more extreme setup which I'm not a big fan of. But it works great on 5 stringers!
@@SeverianoPaoli what type of extreme setup are we talking about? I know that the bridge and nut slots need to be widened. Could you explain what you mean by extreme set up?
@@joldisyri8936 you get a much thicker string in the back, whose vibration is way broader and needs more space, and that makes it more extreme.
Yeahzzzzzzzz
Hahahahaha Super Awesomenesssssss
Awesomenesssss....Thanks
Thanks a lot ! 🎉🎉🎉
if you play slap and want the real click, there is no substitute for gut... period.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. Peace
Thank you a lot!
a brilliant video on posture and body....so glad you posted it since this is a rather illusive topic for many. i will share this around --- wish we lived in the same town so i could invite you for un espresso. 🙂☕
Thank you so much!!!
Where do you live, by the way?
am living in brooklyn, ny @@SeverianoPaoli
I like the thumbnail 😆
Thanks for this exelent presentation great regards.
You forgot the clothespin(desk) to make sure the music doesn't fall on the floor. It could be catastrophic
Very good video! Thank you! 🎼🙏
You're very welcome! 😊
Is your bass tuned D-A-D-G?
Yes! That's the tuning I use on this bass.
What is the tuning?

Hi Severiano, this is a wonderful video. I play German style now. What first ‘baroque’ bow would you recommend? Is a Dragonetti bow worth trying and where can I buy one? J
Thank you so much Jim! I believe a Dragonetti bow is a great choice, since it's a good all rounder. Write me an email, and I'll be glad to help you out with finding a good one! severiano@severianopaoli.com
Excelenteeee
Wow the reedy sound reminds me of a dulcian!
One thing I've been wondering for quite a while now - where did you get these divisions from or are they your own?
These specific ones are from an anonymous score I've had for a long time. Otherwise, I often write/improvise my own ones.
Thank you Sevi! Exactly the information I needed. And delivered with so much joy and enthusiasm! You are a blessing 😁
Gentile Severiano, could you post here some measures about your Dragonetti bow? For example: how many long is the bow hair from the frog to head? How much is the weigh? 🙂 And last (but not least) I hope you can told to me (to us): how many thick is the stick near the frog? (spessore nei pressi del nasetto) Thank you very much for the video and thank you in advance for the information. 👍 Emanuele
La cosa migliore è che tu chieda a Marco Pasquino, il liutaio che l'ha costruito :) www.marcopasquino.com
buonasera, potresti per favore dirmi quanto pesa questo arco? Grazie
Questo qui pesa 125 grammi se non sbaglio :)
Mi scusi, nella fretta non ti ho salutato.
Quanto pesa quest'arco?
In pizzicato my gut string sounds much softer than steel but not with arco .The strings I use are 50 years old and 500 year old recipe
I have watched your previous videos. As I hear in this one, there's a total transformation in your sound and aesthetic. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Well, I use different instruments and experiment new things all the time, so for sure no video will sound like the previous one! Stay tuned!
You sound better and better as the years go by! Ciao Severiano, un abbraccio -- Filippo
Grande! Grazie mille!!! Come stai?
Tutto ok, suonacchiando qua e là, lavoricchiando un po', babysittando la prole... Tu vedo che stai facendo benissimo, passi anche a Madrid?
@@mezzasegolas devo venirci in Spagna (col fresco, però!), ti faccio sapere!
It's often about finding the right acoustic to show off the bass - this is pretty darn good, just a little natural reverb (not swamping the sound) What microphone did you use? Or was this shot on a phone or something? I think playing solo with gut strings is something that is very trickey to get right.
Thank you a lot I did the recording with a Zoom Q8 4k, and I must say I'pretty satisfied with the result. The sound is unedited, so you hear exactly what had been recorded.
Why are talking about the shirt? It looks nice and is going perfect along those temperatures. We should be humans and understand that it's not nice to wear a suit or likewise with these damn temperatures.
I couldn't agree more! I'm mostly sarcastic, since I've sometimes received acid comments about my informal clothing; I couldn't care less, but I find it funny (not to say pathetic) that some people would watch a music video and concentrate on what the performer is wearing rather than his musicianship.
Nice! Bass and room sound great!
Thank you!!!
gratitdue
What is that bow? What rosin do you use with gut arco?
That's a XIX century original Dragonetti bow. I use only Leatherwood rosin on all types of strings.
Fantastic! Grazie per il video. Timestamps: 1:40 1: Gut strings sounding/feeling quieter and softer? 6:06 2: Gut strings easily getting out of tune? 8:49 3: Gut strings' short lifespan? 10:49 4: Only for baroque music? 13:12 5: Can't play properly with steel strings after using gut ones?
Awesome! Thank you!
👏👏👏👏👏

Beautiful, nice playing , nice interpretation!
Really nice!
