Rick Stotijn - Giovanni Bottesini: Capriccio di Bravura (2014) [SACD]

The music of Giovanni Bottesini is a must for double bass players. It was a dream-come true for me to have the opportunity to record my favourite Bottesini pieces with my favourite ensemble Amsterdam Sinfonietta, who I have so enjoyed working with for the past ten years. And it is an unforgettable experience to make a recording with friends including the top soloists Liza Ferschtman, Monika Leskovar, Candida Thompson and Hans Eijsackers, not to forget my own sister Christianne.
