Description
For his debut solo recording, double bassist Toby Hughes explores the versatility and musicality of the double bass as a solo instrument. Released on Champs Hill Records, and recorded together with pianist Benjamin Powell, Hughes presents some of the finest original compositions for the double bass, including Adolf Mišek’s Sonata no.2, Glière’s Four Pieces, and Giovanni Bottesini’s beautiful Elegia. Hughes comments: “These works represent some of the most important moments from my musical journey so far. The album is dedicated to the memory of Corin Long. He was one of my first, and most important teachers. Without a doubt, I would not be recording these works without the limitless inspiration, encouragement and enthusiasm I received whilst learning with him.”
