Alfred Huber · Op. 34
iDu
Concerto for two double basses and chamber orchestra
About the work
Two double basses take the solo roles opposite a chamber orchestra. This unusual pairing expands the concerto repertoire for the double bass and offers a programme choice for two soloists and orchestra.
Performances
The world premiere took place on 4 April 2019 in the Brahms-Saal of the Musikverein in Vienna. Niek de Groot and Benedikt Huber performed the solo parts with the Wiener Concertverein, conducted by Alessandro Maria Carnelli.
A further performance followed on 5 June 2021 with the Kyiv Symphony Orchestra under Luigi Gaggero, again featuring Niek de Groot and Benedikt Huber.
