Contrabajisimo | Astor Piazzolla – doublebass affairs
“Contrabajisimo consists primarily of works by Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla. The range of emotions that Hoock captures between the exquisite tenderness and the suspended tension that is ever-present in the tango is mesmerizing. Barbara Nussbaum expertly complements the melodic line of the double bass; this music is truly a duo each line, whether harmony or melody, needs to balance with the others, and the ensemble is terrific. Winfried Rademacher’s violin playing blends in, emerging from the bass line, and weaving through the texture to give it subtle color and inflection” – Bassworld
