THE "BASS SONORITY" - the "unknown" but "mythical" Italian double basses quartet

Just few words to described the  quartet of double basses wanted as "The Bass Sonority". None has ever known the Bass Sonority. But we have played a lot all over South Italy with no articles on newspapers (only my articles!!) and no DVDs or Long Play.

Members during his history: prof. Michele Cellaro, prof. Vincenzo Chiapperini, Vito Liuzzi, prof. Leonardo Presicci, prof. Giovanni Rinaldi and prof. Giuseppe Lillo.

History will give reason to us!!

GABRIELE RAGGHIANTI and "Gasparo da Salò 1590 in Venice"

Maestro Gabriele Ragghianti (Italy) has been perhaps the only one to play a recital with the Gasparo da Salò 1590 situated in Venice (Basilica San Marco). But before it has been restored by the italian liuther Sergio SCARAMELLI.

Give a look at incredible photos in the two websites but pay attention to COPYRIGHT for all photos ... and listen to his marvellous sound.

  The "MAGISTER"

The great book realized by FRANCO PETRACCHI. Imho the best book ever written for what concerning the Thumb Position. HR

In Bottesini's opinion these studies were impossible to play. Today it's possible thanks to Franco Petracchi technique. Every study is fingered and bowed by Maestro Petracchi.

A very good challange. HR

A great book with Mr. Petracchi's fingerings

Stefano Sciascia

"The legends about this concerto say it's Nanny's work, not Dragonetti's. This work has nothing to do with other Dragonetti's works and it's not among the Drag's manuscripts in the British Museum's library."

 

 Here maestro Sciascia has recorded in first absolute the " authentic" Concert in Amajor for db. and "strings" (more two bassons and two horns) by Domenico Dragonetti (no.3).

About the other concerto "more famous" I have some doubts about the real composer: surely he was a work by E. Nanny.
