How are they similar and different from Somogyi?

The thing that really drew me in about both Kraut and Matsuda (not so much with the one Kostal Mod D I played) was the musicality and resonance of the bass. It almost sounded like a big cello, and it was certainly distinct from anything I have ever played.
I asked Ervin at the show if this was part of the Somogyi sound and he said he thought very much so.
The mids and high end were, of course, beautiful and musical, but it was the bass that really struck me as other-worldly.
