Episode Synopsis

Welcome to RadioFolk.dk's podcast Folk Live. In this edition of the podcast we will be featuring the Danish double bass player Mathæus Bech, recorded at the famous Danish Tønder Festival, that runs the last weekend of August every year.Mathæus Bech is an excellent young bass player with roots in jazz and classical music, as well as in Danish folk music. He strives, as he put it, "..to continue the proud Danish tradition of virtuoso and solo double bassists, and he wants to show a new generation of music lovers that the double bass doesn't have to stand in the background."Mathæus has a lot of great projects boiling, and I am sure that you will hear more from him in the near future.For this performance Mathæus Bech chose a handful of good friends and great young musicians to assist him in playing a few of his own compositions. So feel free to take your seat, and something nice to drink, and get ready for quite a concert featuring double bass Mathæus Bech with Sebastian Bloch on guitar, Villads Hoffmann on cittern, Martin Strange on clarinet, and Henriette Flach on violin.
