The most famous double bass player of his day, Giovanni Bottesini (1821-1889) was also a pioneer of chamber music in Italy, writing characterful music that is both accomplished and rewarding to play – the work of someone who was an enthusiastic chamber musician himself.

The Gran Quintetto of 1858 is the first of his four string quintets and the only one to feature double bass. It shows a distinct admiration for not only Haydn and Beethoven but Schumann and Mendelssohn.
