Welcome to our interview series - Classical Masters - where we asked 11 of the best classical double bass soloists 5 questions. This series was filmed during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and all our artists filmed their answers at home.

Featuring: François Rabbath, Gary Karr, Renaud Garcia-Fons, Joel Quarrington, Edicson Ruiz, Lorraine Campet, Božo Paradžik, Roman Patkolo, Christine Hoock, Leon Bosch and DaXun Zhang.

Big thanks go out to all the artists who took part and helped make this happen. Our aim was to inspire and educate the double bass community at this time so I hope you enjoy the videos!
