Bach: Cello Suite no. 3 - Courante and Bourrée I (Benjamin Zander - Interpretation Class)

[@RizwanJaganiViolist]

What a privilege it must be to receive coaching from Maestro Zander. He's absolutely brilliant.

[@debiethredge3020]

Hey, Rizwan!🙋‍♀

[@alanwittert2169]

SUCH WISDOM, KINDNESS, and STRENGTH!!!

[@rozalinagutman3868]

So inspiring ! Witnessing how the spirit of Bach enters into the correctly performed music text is the true joy. This is another special example for performing all music of this amazing genius, for whom compositional technique was just a method of achieving the supreme goal - creating emotional resonance. And Maestro Zander is the gift to this world that impacts young musicians with much generosity. ❤️ Nothing can describe this composer better than saying Bach invented Jazz

[@maiarho]

Wow! What a class! Zander runs around his student like a squirrel waiting for the next (musical) nut!

[@daniel3231995]

Nuts! 🌰

Mr. Zander, words cannot describe how much I love you!

[@paekou]

Loved how he mentioned the "Swingle Singers" at @11:18. That group is amazing with brilliant jazz arranges of Bach's works.

[@coloramber2517]

Im playing this today at Nyssma im in a state of horror and excitement at the same time. Well done playing.

[@stevesewful]

Well done!!! Lovely playing.

[@Amybozhemoi]

beautiful rendition!

[@ofsabir]

I love the prelude so much.

[@rickvalenti]

I know "it's the player-not the instrument" but what a viola tone! Anyone know who the maker is?

[@-Honeybee]

I was thinking the same thing. I love that sound.

[@marioricardorivera1]

Jan Pawlikowski viola. Great maker from Poland.

[@ur.kr.2814]

Is it just me, or is it rather large as far as violas go?

[@daviddotorg]

@@ur.kr.2814 It looks a little big, but not compared to most professional violas

Какой хорошенький мальчик

[@arcobow97]

Wish he played the sarabande too

[@wupeide]

Stressful - seems he wasn't prepared to play it that fast. Good job though.

[@jakobmanieirikssonschimmel8988]

It was so much better as soon as he played faster even if there were mistakes.

[@beckettremington5095]

What strings and rosin do they use?

[@nickpicolas1]

I believe they are using a full set of Evah Pirazzi Golds, idk about the rosin tho

[@-Honeybee]

I find his bow hold unusual... he lifts his pinkie from the bow quite often and has his fingers quite cramped together.

[@jakewatson668]

Everyone has their own variation to do with handsize etc.

[@VioletHorrorshow]

It looks like a more Russian bow hold. The Russian school of teaching is often evident in these little physical traits. Contrast the bow hold with the Franco-Belgian one. Super fascinating.

[@singingone1]

Ben, you don't believe in GOD???? How can you not? HIS very breath is in this music, especially Bach..."To the Glory of GOD" Ponder that....my prayers for you to find HIM....your enriched life will be even more so....

[@tylervoyer2067]

peach :|

[@denizekin1532]

You should take your meaningless doctrine somewhere else, also Bach never wrote "glory to the god" anywhere, so try and stop spouting pretentious ignorance. He instead wrote "soli deo gloria" which basically means "this is not my glory it's god's" and that only shows us Bach's great humility. Hope you try to be more understanding to other people's beliefs instead of being an asshole to people on internet because they don't believe your god.

[@ru99414]

Where is he from? I can tell hes not german at least

[@viola1066]

Switzerland

[@viola1066]

but his family is Israeli I think

[@TheJonboy713]

It’s a shame he doesn’t believe in God.

[@ACollegeSolution]

Way to fast
