The anchor of this new release from Boguslaw Furtok and the Frankfurt Radio Symphony is the Divertimento Concertante for double bass and orchestra by Nino Rota. Boguslaw Furtok says of the work, “I immediately recognized that it was one of the best ever compositions for double bass. The work provides a complete image of both technical and also creative possibilities which can be displayed by a double bass virtuoso, not to mention the wonderful melodies which would perhaps not be at all anticipated on this instrument!” Hands-down one of the greatest double-bassists of the current generation, Boguslaw Furtok has been successful as a soloist, orchestra member, and chamber musician, and has been a prizewinner at several international competitions including the International Double Bass Competition in Germany.
