| | I guess Contrabass is the title of the album, and its also Canonici 's instrument. | | | Corrado Canonici 's solo Capstone release includes a premiere recording of Luciano Berio, as well as music by Cage, Scelsi, and a number of other progressive composers. | | | Ombretta Macchi's solo soprano leaps out of the recording from some other concert space -- that of the traditional avant-garde art-song. |

| | Her recent concert band extravaganza: Teen-age-mutant-ninja-drummers, has been a big hit(!) in her school system, where the PTA is considering major cutbacks in music funding. | | | Its basso profundo tones are featured on the orchestra's newest album, which was released in September 1991. | | | These individual voices blend into flamboyant unexpected combinations, such as the album's "Casbah Shuffle" duet for sopranino and contrabass: the long and short of saxophone. |

| | A Survey of Solo Literature for Contrabass Tuba - David Zerkel |
| | The main challenge on the Contrabass Tuba will be in keeping the music light and energetic. | | | The big challenges faced in this piece are the wide intervallic leaps at the very beginning of the piece, the extended section of multiple tonguing in the finale and the “sales” aspect of making this an appealing piece of music to the audience. | | | The technical and musical requirements are daunting for a large instrument. |

| | The Contrabass, a neglected vocal resource |
| | Yet there are many teachers who refuse to allow these boys to sing in their comfortable range and label them "deficient singers" if the boys cannot or will not sing music assigned to them by these ill-advised teachers. | | | As a result, the contrabass has all but disappeared from the vocal scene. | | | Most important, when you have developed some contrabasses, what music are you then able to perform successfully that had formerly been beyond your capabilities? |

| | GAJOOB Reviews Morgan Guberman -- solo contrabass |
| | This recording is quite rare, with it being an experimental solo contrabass album (solo with the exception of an occasional female voice or what sounded like a flash of toy piano) and is something of an acquired taste (like most all truly experimental recordings). | | | The album is consistent throughout with enough ideas for the contrabass to prevent it from becoming stale.. | | | Morgan Guberman could be compared to a solo version of Kronos Quartet (in that, they are both in the classical vein and both thrive on neurotic expression). |

| | Sax on the Web > Fun with Vintage Saxophones by Pete Hales |
| | I've been impressed with contrabass performances since I heard the one on Professor Paul Cohen's Vintage Saxophones Revisited CD, but the contrabass there is used in a relatively sedate orchestral piece. | | | Verdi brought three horns that I am incredibly interested in: a Conn-O-Sax (not used in the performance and not discussed here, but it's a beauty), a Dolnet curved Eb sopranino and, the horn I came specifically to see, an original Evette and Schaeffer (Buffet-Crampon) Eb contrabass. | | | One day I hope to see a full saxophone choir: |

| | Hampshire Recorder Sinfonia - The Full Range |
| | There is, incredibly, a recorder larger than the ContraBass - the elusive Sub-ContraBass in C, these are a recent addition to the family, and as yet music written or arranged for recorder orchestra does not typically come with a sub-contrabass part, although any sub-contrabass wners are most welcome to join our ranks!!! | | | The recorders pictured cover more than 5 octaves, and represent most of the recorder family. | | | Dolmetsch are planning to produce a sub-sub-contrabass in F (also called an octo-contrabass) as part of their millenium recorders project, such an instrument will have a pipe almost 12 feet long and will have a lowest note with a frequency of 45Hz, just one semitone above the lowest note on a double bass! |
