EDGAR MEYER, Double Bass

Edgar Meyer.  Unique. Compelling. Brilliant. Unique because it’s not every day you hear a full-length solo concert by a classical double-bass player. Compelling, because his unparalleled technique and musicianship have won him a huge following; he plays before sold-out halls throughout the world. And brilliant? Just ask the MacArthur Fellowship people: they gave him a “genius” grant in 2002 (and let’s add that he’s the only bassist to receive the Avery Fisher Prize). You’ll never look at a bass the same way again.
