Second movement from Antonin Dvořák's epic symphony No.9 in an excellent instrumentation done in 2019 by my multi-talented student Daniel Matthewes for quartet of double basses.

It is in beautifully sounding key D flat major, just like in the symphony. Credits and compliments to my talented students from Hochschule Luzern from the generation 2020 for their wonderful performance of this beautiful, but difficult and piece to perform in this formation. We have done this recording under time pressure, as we had to leave the concert hall after barely have performed it once or twice.

Eternal beauty of this composition was supported by fantastic instruments: three of four double basses used for this recording have been made by Derek High, one of the finest contemporary double bass makers.

Recorded in September 2020 in "Salquin", new large concert hall of the brand new building of the HSLU-Music (Hochschule Luzern- Musik). These chords belong to the first sounds ever performed in this beautiful concert hall. Just two hours after this recording I have performed several pieces with these talented students on the opening celebration of the brand new building 😊
