Porumbescu – Balada

Ciprian Porumbescu is sadly little-known outside of his native Romania, but this gem of a piece is certainly one that is worth discovering. Originally written for violin and orchestra but here arranged for double bass and piano by Petru Iuga, Balada is a romantic showpiece that is showy yet serious. The perfect addition to any double bass recital.
