Small Classical Ensemble with Double Bass?


Hate to take everyone away from their Beatles...

I was listening to a string trio today, thinking "this would be better if there was some bottom". Anyone know of any small classical sting ensembles with double-bass? A quartet, maybe even something with piano? Anything interesting?

Thanks.

This is definitely not a double bass group BUT have a CD of some Handel trio sonatas which are combinations of
2 oboes and Basso continuo, or oboe, basson, contrabass and basso coninuo. First oboe is Heinz Holliger. It is a Denon CD out of Japan with all japanese writing inside so can't give much else but there is definietly some bass there.

Saint Saens' Basson Sonata will also give your system a fine work out on the bass side. There are a number of good ones available
