Bach - Cello Suite No.1 i-Prelude - The Silence Before Bach

[@johnbarrow7940]

Bach could have never imagined in his wildest dreams that there would be a diverse group of students of various ethnic backgrounds, male and female, playing his music in an underground train powered by electricity rocketing through a city! It is a testament to the master and the timelessness of his music.

[@lifefan1]

Perfectly said!

[@rgray1965]

All I see is people

[@troll707]

yeah i don't think bach would be thrilled about people of all ethnicities playing his piece. It wasn't like that back then

[@chadsutten6102]

Solid comment 10/10

[@giuseppe457]

​@@troll707Il fatto che "non era così allora" non vuol dire necessariamente che Bach non ne sarebbe stato entusiasta.

[@Magochixxx]

i get chills everytime i hear Bach's cello suite no.1 prelude...absolutely amazing

[@grtlover]

I first saw this video about 8 years ago. Then I went to New York. After looking for days, I couldn't find these guys anywhere!

[@itsjustlukeRevive]

I want to imagine walking into a subway car and see a bunch of cellists playing this.

[@jaslueasi]

there would be some angry passengers

[@salmag98]

This makes me wanna cry so much, it's so carefully synchronized and spontaneous at the same time: no formal wear, no controlled facial expressions they laugh, they look around: it's simply magical, this is by far the best version of JSB cello suite no1 prelude.

[@sarahdink8051]

some people are so into the music they just focus with the same face and listen carefully

[@georgelinamedina841]

+Sarah Dink I do to I played the violan for 3years and played the cello for 1year and the four for 1year and the piano for 2 years and guitar for 2years so that much I love music I even sing for 14year and I'm 13 years old

[@salmag98]

+Sarah Dink I'm sorry I don't get your comment could you reformulate it?

[@MissTschukki]

im absolutely your opinion

[@sarahdink8051]

[4! Idiots] well when people play they are focus and to maintain that focus they keep the same face. They are also listening

[@bellaamour9721]

Beautiful! A group of cellos always sounds amazing. I love how when you look down the row they are all in perfect harmony!

[@pearlrowell.]

bellaamour9721 *unison sorry to be that person

[@JWentu]

@@pearlrowell. I am just 5 years late

[@diegoavila7379]

never thought I would be able to play an instrument, but I picked it up fast played the Violin for a few years, and im ashamed at how fast I lost the ability to read music and I never followed my heart and switched to cello like I wanted, I also wanted to play the piano but we couldn't afford lessons or a piano when I was younger, I have violin in my closet and a cello in my brothers he moves in two weeks I know he won't take it with him maybe I should try it on my own watching videos like this one make me cry I get taken away from all the bad things it's so beautiful

[@m1onate1ac]

I have to take that train

[@Милонго]

It must have good harmonics produced by the perfect reverberation that a room like a subtrainwagon produces. and those cello musicians are the goat. I misd produce record master sound design equalize tracks those good fl moments

[@joelt2105]

Whenever my soul needs recharging, I come to this video. Thank you.

[@davequick2821]

a little fast, but I'm guessing they are getting off at the next stop...haha Love this piece.

[@Patfettx]

lol nice one. Art is always subjective anyway

[@MichaelTomlinson00]

I like it slow myself but Benjamin Zanders interpretation on Bach is worth looking at. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGO2XoKgicdnpLc

[@solokom]

I actually like it better like that and the sound of the subway gives it some intriguing industrial vibe.

[@nortyfiner]

What I like is that you can observe the various players and the slight variations in their individual technique, which are emphasized by the fact that they are playing the same piece in sync. It's very interesting, at least to me.

[@mvelrey]

OMG!!! This is just amazing! I really love this song..Can't stop listening to..

[@marygarcia1701]

That was..... Magical.

[@Fernando671000]

Simply wonderful ... Bravo ... Bravo ... Bravissimo ...

[@hermellakebede859]

This is officially my favorite song.

[@Magochixxx]

2:04 til the end just did it for me........ great great music...can't imagine living without it!

[@hamsterlicious88]

this is amazing, i can't believe anyone would thumb this down

[@nicholasborelli275]

OUTSTANDING!!!!! Had to be the middle of the night on Sunday to get that many seats together in a subway car. Loved it.

[@fairygoodmuller8065]

Nicholas Borelli or it was a stationary movie rig replica

[@nicholasborelli275]

Thanks. I learned something that I didn't know. Are you in the film production business?

[@istanformarzipan]

for a moment thought this was the NYC subway, then noticed this was too clean lol

[@OLOmatias]

me encanto todo, la elección del instrumento, la obra, el lugar elegido, la coordinación!! estupendo todo!!

[@michroz]

Wow! That's how they practice nights and nights over and over, and then - kaboom! - one of those chosen comes to the surface and plays it to us mortals!.. All 6-in-1 by heart!

[@bangtanwishes313]

i want to be on this train, standing. and id be hugging one of those metal poles, feeling like im on the center of the world. see, i dont play the cello but idk why i love this piece so much. i play like crap on violin and ukelele but im still hoping i could plah this prelude one day. thank you for uploading this. this is a gem.

[@chandeliirX919]

I just need a group of fellow musicians to be THIS musically & spiritually in tune with. This was f a n t a s t i c !

[@mikem.3606]

Back has always been part of my youth. This piece likely sounded heavenly underground on the subway.

[@May_Moon18]

Espectácular lo que uno se encuentra buscando esta canción! Maravillosa sincronía :)

[@alexandersholti3687]

Sooo schön...was wäre die Welt ohne J.S. Bach! DANKE

[@rqgxie6c9bbodhg24]

So hypnotic! Watched at least 20 times already.

[@overtonecz]

Amazing ! The camera must have been extremely small and on a very very long and extremely light and agile robotic arm ! Just watch how it gets around the columns - by one side and than the other... UNBELIEVABLE ! Must be very complex and expensive robotic arm !

[@Lolaxas]

This, sweet harmony. Simply wonderful.

[@pauldayonghuang9284]

Love this. Life is a journey, and music brings wonder to this journey. Extra comforting with a group you can share the rhythm with. I noticed all shapes and sizes of cellists, some with more virtuoso than others. I wish I can be there playing with them.

[@sphaedra30]

chills ...... I must have listen to this over 50 times in the last 8 months

[@limcut]

I love it how everyone there has different playing styles... For example: One person is very emotional while playing, and there's the one that is trying to remember the music

[@boredchika]

The best part about this video is that you can tell which ones are thinking about the music and which ones are feeling the music.

[@TiffanyWillowsMom]

Breathless. That was phenomenal

[@neptunemarine1]

i have got to say without a word to say best clip of music seen in very long time any more of them playing

[@hiloSF]

This is just beautiful!

[@danihoraflor]

This escene is very emotional!!!

[@jeffrocksforever]

I think what is amazing is their precision. They play together perfectly

[@pinkviolalover]

I love ther intuneation!!!! They're all so together!!!! Now, if only the cellists at my school could be more like them... But seriously, they sound like one awesome cello!!!!

[@ruberlyspd]

beautiful!!! ♥.♥

[@Magochixxx]

this is probably one of the most amazing videos i've ever seen!

[@Ceciliassantos]

Muito lindo! Amo essa música! Very beautiful!

[@denialnumber4564]

How could 265 people not like this, its not like most of them can play is well.. There probably all jealous, i cant even play thid well but i still think its still beautiful.

[@josefelipemartinezdomingue9488]

Es hermoso. El arte no tiene límites.

[@ronanderson48]

Now that took a steady hand man with a Steadycam... impressive to say the least. Same musical piece on "Master and Commander", loved it!

[@Kn0wHope]

I'm a very average person, the things I find important are without a doubt the very same things you would expect of a total stranger...my favorite music includes what most classical aficionados would consider garbage (rap, screamo, etc.) But there is something about this song, I knew what it was before I knew what to call it... And listening to this didnt just bring tears to my eyes, but brought them all the way down my face and onto the ground by my feet...

[@jamiepowers2633]

The amazing thing is, it doesn't sound like 30 different cellos, it sounds like one really amazing cello player. And it takes a lot of practice, and dedication to be able to play like that.

[@Fandango541]

Brilliant! What a great place to play such an incredibly moving piece of musical art! I totally love this! :)

[@riccarpa13]

Grazie per questa bellezza. Grazie.

[@flyingfreak123]

how could you dislike it...this re-enforced my choice of cello as my second instrument

[@muth1088]

i'm pretty sure i watch this every morning to get my day started.

[@DraquRUDEBOY]

Verdaderamente algo hermoso no creia que con este tipo de musica sonaria tan hermoso con tantos talentos como ellos todo completamente todo concuerda ninguno esta erroneo que maravilloso les salio

[@fenway1229]

i dont listen to classical music at all, ive never been a fan, but this may be the most beautiful thing ive ever heard

[@lisakong7730]

rogério moreira, thank you for uploading this 'bach on the train' piece; it is nice to see bach being played in different ways and by different people. creativity at work here definitely!:)

[@AZLA-c9k]

I love it..

[@ismaelreynolds5592]

The best cover of bach's suite !

[@pascalelambert1361]

L'idée est tout simplement géniale.Et quel talent!

[@davidwitt5347]

Well done. Worth buying.

[@hiloSF]

Love the energy of young cellists who work for their dreams!

[@nicholass9088]

This is beautiful. It sounded amazing, I wish I was as talented as them

[@nefersphinx3682]

Quando vi isso no filme pela primeira vez senti o tempo parar. Como explicar tamanha emoção!

[@alavo16]

That was great. A lot of talented musicians

[@MasonWestWriting]

The prelude to the first of J.S. Bach's Six Suites for Solo Cello performed by a well unified gang of cellists aboard a rocking Metro car, and this was, apparently, a scene from a movie called _The Silence before Bach_. I love the concept. Does anyone know in what city's Metro this is? It looks like Medellín's, but I suppose it could be anywhere because two companies-one French, one German-build at least 80% of the Metro systems in the world. Medellín is a very arty and progressive city, so I could see them arranging an exclusive train in the wee hours of the morning before the rush hour. On the other hand, most of Medellín's system is elevated and not subterranean.

[@AnnKennedy]

In the Barcelona metro according to this: bombmagazine.org/article/5699/pere-portabella-s-the-silence-before-bach I haven't seen the movie, but want to now. I'm curious.

[@MasonWestWriting]

*****​ I just checked my Roku search, which, supposedly, covers the channels to which I'm subscribed, including Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Blockbuster, etc. I suppose this is one of those heady films that demanded too much to ignite the popular imagination.

[@AnnKennedy]

Mason West If you like films related to music, did you happen to see the documentary Note by Note about the making of a Steinway? Very interesting.

[@MasonWestWriting]

***** I missed that one too, I'm sad to say. I've heard of it though. Glen Gould toured the Steinway factory, and he (almost?) sued them because in their zeal to make him feel welcome, one of the company officers squeezed his hand too hard while shaking it.

[@GWandaEE]

A Cello choir of music, different, indescribable, I loved it.

[@Юлия-с5в7и]

Восхитительно!!!Потрясающе!!!

[@jouleSansLoi]

This is just fantastic.. Awesome, bravo, Bravo!

[@R8MA]

Maravilloso. Más en un día/noche como hoy .. y de luna llena con el sonido del mar Atlántico

[@jeremiSLATER]

absolutely frigging BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@TheXStephen1]

You guys play really good together. I think it's cool how you guys play together. Keep it up!

[@madelhu]

Qué hermoso tantos cellistas jovenes y virtuosos, interpretando a Bach, me emociona mucho.

[@garagara142]

awesome!!! love the train sound blend together with the music...

[@paddy_black]

This is just beautiful.

[@josesamuel6394]

Mix of modernity and classic. Now when I get on a train I will want to listen to Bach

[@netoxxo]

I can't stop watching this!

[@VanessaMaeFan18]

OH. MY GOSH!!!!!!!! OH MY GOSH!!!!!!! THIS IS BEYOND AMAZAING!!!!! PLAYING BACH ON A TRAIN?!!!! THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT IT THAT MAKES IT BAROQUE IN A MODERN SENSE!!! :D This is EXCELLENT!! So creative. Oh man.

[@ukelele44]

This video is incredibly moving. Thank you.

[@danielynsilva5150]

This is indeed very interesting. A powerful message. Bach was trying to imagine what would be the music of the heavens. To play such piece inside extremely mundane environment is an odd and wonderful idea.

[@Agro357]

Simply... Perfect!! Wonderful!! I love this song, I love this video...

[@Jillianclz]

it's really amazing how synchrone they are that's not easy for celli..especially in a train where the seatings are far away

[@Johannesburg777]

That is amazing. It took a lot of coordination to do that.

[@enniostrati6821]

chissà dove sta ora passando questa meravigliosa metro.

[@Ashenshlee]

this was wonderfully creative and beautifully done. Thank you.

[@missy-t9d]

STILL my favourite performance of this.
