CELLO & DOUBLE BASS: Deep tones and soaring strings

Duration: 1 hour

Devonté Hynes explores the powerful, evolving sounds of classical music, with playlists drawn from across the musical spectrum.

This episode shines a spotlight on another instrument that Devonté plays and loves - the cello. It also highlights the deep tones of the double bass, another instrument Dev likes to bring to the fore in his own compositions.

The selection includes big cello pieces from Bach and Elgar, some jazz double bass from Abdul Wadud, the experimental pop of Lucinda Chua, and more from one of his biggest influences, Arthur Russell. Show less
