The first CD with recordings from 1988 gives some examples of typical showpieces. On the second CD Hans Roelofsen gives newly recorded performances of two sonatas by Chopin and Rachmaninov, which were originally written for cello with piano accompaniment. These transcriptions show how versatile the double bass really is. It works surprisingly well: this is the truly romantic double bass. (2 CDs)
All of the fantastic multiple bass recordings originally included on the MultiBass LP for the 1970's, plus performances of the complete War and Peace, Ma Mere, Baidja released for the first time.
