"Cala Records, whose London Sound Series—featuring the massed ranks of various orchestral instruments—has already sold over 170,000 copies worldwide, have now turned their attention to the string section's most imposing beast. Eight of the finest bass players have been brought together, on which bassist Gary Karr also features in some virtuosic pieces. A varied programme sees the unlikely eightsome mixing favourites such as Saint-Saëns's with rare works like Van Goen's Scherzo. Only the stereo speakers need to be wary—a truly spectacular rumble is guaranteed." Classic CD
