Bach on Bass!

Here's a clip from my Senior recital this past Saturday. I opened up with the 3rd suite Allemande and Gigue. Probably wasn't the kindest on my nerves to open up my first true recital with two movements of Bach. Awful pitchiness across the board and playing on the wrong string aside, it turned out alright. C'mon. Bach's hard.

Let me know what you think.

*The mics were set up for choral and orchestral recording, so it's pretty quiet. Might want to turn your speakers up.

Hey man,
You sound good! Bach is very hard to start off with, but it is nice to begin a recital with just you and your bass. I did the same thing with my recital last year (started off with the whole 1st Suite!) and I was so nervous I thought I was going to pass out!
Nonetheless, as long as it's basically in tune and basically in rhythm, it'll sound just fine - And you were definitely basically in tune/rhythm, and it does sound pretty nice!
Good playing! I know you're going to do so well next year at BU...
Have a good summer,
KSP

I liked the really liked the gigue. I could tell the quality of the allemande was due to nervousness, but it wasnt horrible. i wish i was there.
