Can anyone recommend a good cello/bass duet that would be semi-challenging? Or any good recordings of a cello/bass duet that I could listen to for some ideas?

The Rossini is the most widely recognized peice for VC and DB. However you can play almost any Baroque sonata with cello and Bass. In fact, it is common practice for cellists to play sonatas as a duo without piano. My girlfriend plays the cello and we play together a lot. |

There are plenty of duet books out there for two bass instruments. I'm not sure what you're looking for, but try perusing Lemur's catalogue for bass duet books. I used to play with a cellist for restaurant gigs and such, and these books made for a lot of really great filler.
If you just want to listen to cello and bass, the Bottom Line Duo has some CDs out there are kind of fun. |

It is originally a bass duet, but it sounds great with bass and cello.
The Rossini would be a good one also. not too tough... |

There is also a Dragonetti Duet for Bass and Cello that is very pretty.
There is the Elgar Trombone and Bass Duet which is done very often for Bass and Cello and is simple and not very long.
Also, I'd look at some PDQ Bach pieces. They are great show pieces and are so much fun to play. I recently played a gig of a Suite by PDQ Bach for Tuba and Bassoon with the cello playing the Bassoon part.
Handel-Halvorsen Duet is one that is pretty difficult as well as the transciption of on of the Vivaldi Concertos for Bass Cello and Piano.
Good Luck! |

The Vivaldi Double Cello Concerto in G seems to work quite well on two Basses, and i'm sure you could modify it yourself for Bass and Cello (sibass89 may have meant this, sorry if you did) |

Third movement is killer. All three are fun, I played the rossini and will play it next semester on the side, a lot of fun. |

I borrowed the Rossini duet from the nypl recently and have added that to the list of things to work on.
