660: Maxime Bibeau on Gasparo de Salo basses




Contrabass Conversations double bass life show

Summary: I had a wonderful time meeting and spending time with the Australian Chamber Orchestra principal bassist Maxime Bibeau. Max has had a fascinating career path, and he plays with a power and subtlety that is truly remarkable. We talk about his path from Quebec to Australia, what it’s like playing on a 1585 Gasparo Da Salo bass, the unique experience of playing in a group like the ACO, and much more.  A big thanks to all the people who recommended that Max and I connect during my trip to Australia!
