"This talented young
French bassist offers a compelling performance of Gravitas for double
bass solo. Dubost's superior control of dynamics and phrasing, warm
sound, and technical mastery mark him as a voice to remember"
Sara Sauers Baguyos, Bass World (issue n°34), summer 2010
"Gravitas" by Richard Wilson (CD Albany Records) : "the bite of bow on
string, the huge resonance, the complete security of pitch, and the
variety of tone qualities are quite vivid."
Barry Kilpatrick, American Record Guide, July/August 2009
"Seiji Ozawa Talentschmiede. Die unterschiedlichen Schulen, in denen
sie ihre Instrumente erlernten, schillerten dabei als interessante
Farbspiele durch die Ensembles: [...] mit welcher Dynamik Yann Dubost
mit seinem Kontrabass eine impulsive Basis für sein Quintett bei
Dvoräks op. 77 legte."
Baz Kultur Magazin, July 2008
"The gifted first prize winner of the 2005 ISB solo competition gave a polished, musically mature and elegant recital debut."
Bass World, issue n°31, fall 2007
Yann Dubost played “the Double Bass Concerto by Sergei Koussevitzky in
which he demonstrated musicianship of the highest calibre, which
rightly earned him three curtain calls.”
East Anglian Daily Times, Juin 2006
"Contrairement à ce que Pierre Boulez a pu dire à propos de la
réalisation systématiquement mauvaise des micro-intervalles [...], ceux
de Yann Dubost se révélèrent d'une précision irréprochable"
Bertrand Bolognesi, Anaclase.com, janvier 2005
