François Rabbath : Trombes d_x001A_eau for double bass (AL 30 748) The international fame of bass player François Rabbath acknowledges both the untiring teacher, author of a Nouvelle technique de la contrebasse, which a whole generationof students, desirous of freeing themselves from the fetters of traditional teaching, has taken up, and the inspired soloist, unsparing of himself in concert. For several years now, he has become accustomed to spending a few daysin the summer in Kansas City (Missouri) to give master classes and a concert there, in the framework of the _x001A_KC BassFestx001A. In July 2016, a moving surprise awaited him: on the stage of the American Jazz Museum a full-lengthportrait was unveiled, painted by local artist Ruthie Ingram from photos taken during his recital the previous year. By way of thanks, Rabbath dedicated Trombes d_x001A_eau to her, a solo piece lasting approximately six minutes,composed at the instigation of the International Society of Bassists for the 2017 edition of the International Double Bass Competition. Conceived as a series of short variations on an impassioned theme, the work emphasisesevocative glissandi and explores double stopping and artificial harmonics without ever sacrificing the essential: the pleasure of musical expression.
