Two Eighteenth-Century Pieces

The lively Tambourin by Rameau is among the most popular of baroque instrumental pieces, and in H. Samuel Sterling's idiomatic arrangement for double bass and piano it forms a welcome addition to the bassist's repertoire. Giordani's stately Larghetto is an ideal counterweight, and an exercise in sustained, expressive playing.
