Boguslaw Furtok says of the work, “I immediately recognized that it was one of the best ever compositions for double bass. The work provides a complete image of both technical and also creative possibilities which can be displayed by a double bass virtuoso, not to mention the wonderful melodies which would perhaps not be at all anticipated on this instrument!” Hands-down one of the greatest double-bassists of the current generation, Boguslaw Furtok has been successful as a soloist, orchestra member, and chamber musician, and has been a prizewinner at several international competitions including the International Double Bass Competition in Germany.
