The two basses play almost entirely independently of each other, creating a rhapsodic freedom and soundscape which will be unique at each performance. It is an inspired and exotic fantasy with an amazing panoply of sounds and textures.

Teppo Hauta-aho has written a wealth of duets for double bass, many published by Recital Music, and is a past master at writing music which offers far more than simply technical prowess.

“Teppo’s bass duets are worth a second, third and fourth look. His music inhabits a sound world completely different to everyone else and he has followed his own and unique compositional path throughout his career. These are impressive and inventive duets which are in a direct line to the grand duets of Bottesini.”
