For the most part she plays as in tune as most cellists would play it – hard to do on bass. I really appreciate this pianist, really musical.

[hectorc.]

One of the bests double bass players actually for me! It seems easy to play looking at her

[jessicapeterson]

I love how different voices keep emerging from both parts. Wonderful, sensitive playing.

Suprêmement beau ! Avis d'un altiste amateur dont le frère a été contrebassiste professionel et qui est un admirateur .

[MrKultivar]

Simply stunning. Thank you for posting. I feel blessed just from hearing this.

[redbrick]

Combining strength training with music making is a brilliant idea.

Beyond fabulous. You are pushing our instrument to new heights. Is this a bass transcription or the original?

[anthonymaerin]

Would love. To hear bass a bit more prominent .love all Mikyungs work thank you

[pascalpoussin]

The technical feat here is at the service of the music, bravo!!!
I would like to know what bass she plays?

[kexu-qg]

wonderful！！！I'd like to ask about the source of this score，could you tell me？

[irenaolkiewicz]

Bravo. However... for me absolutely No. ONE for sure Catalin Rotaru/Wan Ting Yu plays Rachmaninov Cello Sonata best in the world!!! If you don't belive see on youtube "Grzegorz Olkiewicz International Music Festival" organized by Polish Society of Double Bassists in Poland, August 2023. Irena Olkiewicz🎶
