Double Bass cello and bass ?

[gael]

I would like to know if you have any suggestion of repetoire for a cello-bass duo ? I like the Rossini and we love the Mozart and Couperin, as recorded by teh Berlin Philharmonic Duo. I like Schnittke's "Hymn" too, yet I don't know if we manage to include it on our programm. Do you know other classical and modern duets ?

Handel-Halvoresen duo, and I have an arrangement of a Dragonetti duet for bass and cello.

Both Xenakis and Scelsi have 'cello/Bass duets.

I have a book of 19 bass duets out there but the only time I've ever heard them performed in public was by cello/bass combinations!
Once, for a kiddie presentation, I even did one with bass/bassoon. It works.

I remember a book of cello duets by Halsey Stevens that seemed to work well for any duet combination of bass instruments.

There is a new 2 cd recording of cello/bass duets. it was released in 2006 and i think klaus stoll or Klaus Trumpf is playing bass, its on the Apex label so maybe have a look....
they are mostly classical sonatas but are quite nice.
