Cohen truly makes the Cello cry with the most sublime conversations and angelic equalities. His vibrato phrasing was just at the right temperature & color, once you've heard you can't unhear it. Wonderful Artist!!!

Hello, sorry for my English, I am translating with the help of a translator. Thank you very much for your work, this work and other videos on the channel help me a lot, especially with sound, you explain very accurately and clearly, I have never met or read such detailed thoughts about sound and vibrato! Do not tell me what else you can read or watch? Is it about the sound, colors, the creation of emotions? Thanks a lot!!!

Hello Robert, you graciously gave me a lesson on Elgar concerto at Roberte Mamou's apartment in Lille when I was 14. Wonderful memory, as well as all your concerts, your presence and musicality have always inspired me. Oh and I still play gut strings haha, I remember you telling me how you missed the Eudoxa rigid...

Greetings Robert Cohen! I was curious as to the best way to tune the open strings on stringed instruments. I understand when practicing intonation in your repertoire, it is especially beneficial to practice in different temperaments of tuning for different music situations. However, should I tune my violin in equal temperament like the piano? Or just temperament for the double stops in fifths? Thank you for your videos, they are quiet insightful.
@RobertCohenCello3 жыл бұрын
Greetings Carson, I'm very happy you find the videos insightful. I suggest you always tune in fifths (open strings). Then you can adjust your intonation to the context. Note: pianos are tuned lower in the bass and increasingly higher towards the treble - one vibration added per octave - so as to reasonably accommodate fourths/fifths/octaves ('temperament'). So the piano's bass notes (or the lowest notes the piano is playing at any given time) are your reference for your intonation. Just as in string quartet playing, intonation is rooted in the cello bass notes. I hope you can understand my explanation! All best, Robert

Uhhhh, how have I been playing the cello for 25 years and never come across this gem!? Those up-bow staccatos are amazing, his shifts are equally as impressive! Double stop intonation is so good I want to smack someone! But really, amazing playing Mr. Cohen!

Absolutely fabulous sound. It brings the likes of Fournier and du Pré to mind. Do you play on gut strings as well, as they did?
@RobertCohenCello3 жыл бұрын
Thanks so much! No I don't play on gut strings, although I did a long time ago. I believe you make the sound that comes from within you, so strings are not a defining element. There are so many variables; cello, bow, instrument setup and adjustment, but by far the dominant element is your desire for a particular sound and different sounds. The cello is the amplifier for your emotions in sound! Thanks again for your compliments. All best, Robert

@@RobertCohenCello Mostly a nerdy question, asked by a nerd, hehe. I absolutely agree with what your sentiment. I am right that Fournier and du Pré have been sources of inspiration to your sound, specifically? (If not), what other musicians them(singers, violinists, cellists, etc.) Best wishes
