Bach: Prélude, Cello suite Nr.1 | Ophélie Gaillard

In his six Suites for unaccompanied violoncello, J. S. Bach invented a style that is specific to that instrument, while exploring all its technical possibilities to the full. Over the years, the Suites have become a monument of the cello repertoire, to which all cellists return regularly. Some of the greatest of them did not record these works until they reached their years of maturity (Casals was over sixty, Rostropovich was sixty-three), while others have not hesitated to present several versions (Yo-Yo Ma, 1990, 1998; Janos Starker, 1957, 1963, 1983). Ophélie Gaillard is among the latter. Her first recording of the Suites, released on the Ambrosia label in 2000, was highly acclaimed internationally by the critics and her performance earned her a French Classical Music Award (Victoire) as a "Revelation" in the Solo Instrumentalist category. Ten years later, at the request of Nicolas Bartholomée, artistic director of the label, she agreed to record a new version on a cello made in 1737 by Matteo Goffriller, a contemporary of J. S. Bach. Ophélie Gaillard had already given us a reference performance of these pieces. Now we discover a prodigiously renewed vision of this masterpiece." eboutique.harmoniamundi.com/jo...

A morning with Bach prelude is a perfect morning.😍

[@robertdickinson889]

I have listened to all the different interpretations of this piece and although they have all been beautiful this one is for me the best.

[@hanakim3450]

So beautiful.... I love the Baroque style of playing. The deep sound of the strings makes my heart vibrate.

[@santjoa7630]

The sound of a cello sounds beautiful in the way she plays it !

[@OnePiece-nl2hf]

Quelques minutes de bonheur dans la morosité de l éternité

[@bethgracehallmark2219]

What I like best is her talent in allowing each note to breathe. Fast when it needs to be but never seeming "rushed".

[@ashleysharma2673]

I can really tell you are putting all your heart into this piece which makes it sound ten times better. Thank you for this amazing piece of art and music!

[@leonardomelendez9753]

I know, i was looking through people playing this somg and this one was the best one i found

[@Baroque-Handel]

Most masterful light touch I have ever seen used on a Cello. Effortless and amazing.

[@thisandthat5757]

This lady plays with soul. I feel she is expressing herself through the music. Not expressing the music.

[@abbyfong]

She's playing without an end pin (0:59), just supporting the cello between her knees!

[@nahor88]

I'm no professional cellist, but I feel like that would create unnecessary tension while playing.

[@emma-pu3on]

That's how the cello was played in the barock times

[@thebeardedengie2475]

I used to do that in class lol

[@Gangster89x]

Cello playing level over 9000!!!!! xD

[@shaybacklund8922]

It's bcause its a barque cello... look at the bow hand

[@morganyeee]

That sounds amazing especially with Baroque cello. Brings out a nice sound

[@funkyflood1093]

Quelle interprétation ! Et quel son ! L'articulation, les petits ornements tellement bien sentis, désormais, je guette votre passage dans ma ville, Madame Ophélie Gaillard !! C'est énorme !

[@renatobarros372]

Umas das coisas mais lindas, que Deus criou foi a música, olha só que lindo.

[@cristophersued5672]

A cada dia que passa me apaixono ainda por esse instrumento maravilhoso... E também por suas obras tocadas nele. Muito bom!

[@ZeriTV]

This really feels different from most I've seen so far. There's so much emotion that's poured out. I also like that I hear natural sounds like the sound of her fingers dropping on the finger board😄

[@laurent359]

Magnifique . À mon gout l ' une des plus belles interprétations de ce sublime morceau de musique . Bravo et merci

[@12JordiVentura]

Masterpiece by J.S. Bach and very nice cello playing.

[@RaphaelAlarkon]

Hermoso, simplemente hermosa la música con este instrumento. Me encanto el escenario la iluminación la persona, un artista !

[@noahspatience9044]

The way she holds the notes makes it even more beautiful

[@nishi-tjohns6792]

The sound of baroque cello always makes me comfortable.

[@felixwidrig2275]

Incredible talent, good job! Only few people on this planet can truly play beautiful music. 5 stars from me.

[@baraosamedy432]

Magnífica interpretação!!

[@charlesbenedetti8607]

Beautiful ! Of all the cellists, including Yo Yo, Maisky, Starker, et al.......I truly believe she plays Bach Prelude the best of all.

[@marcosrodolfocecenarro6348]

Bellísima musica..agradezco al universo por que existen artistas para bajarnos estas sublimes notas.

[@VERITS99]

It's really good to hear this piece played with A = 415 Hz on a period instrument. Thanks for posting!

[@Mom2Johnny]

Don't know if anyone else does this: As a beginning cellist, I'm paying closer and closer attention to technique: finger placement, where on the fretboard they are playing a certain note, intonation, vibrato, even holding the bow. What a wealth of knowledge!!

[@michaelwilliamson2255]

This cello suite is my favorite.

[@laurentleberre8390]

Interprétation lumineuse. Merci Dame Ophélie.

[@mtoldroyd]

That was glorious! I had full body goosebumps for the last 60 seconds. Such deep feeling in this rendition. It brought tears to my eyes.

[@isadoraluiza4682]

This one is the best performance of the Bach Prelude that I have already seen

[@sergiomijangos432]

La más bella pieza musical para cello, ejecutada por una brillante artista. Excepcional

[@FerrariDMC]

I wish I could wake up to this piece of music every day. I come here and play it as often as I can though.

[@gurwantdhot935]

The dynamics, the way it’s played and the piece itself is beautiful :)

[@elalgrere]

It Is incredible how is it posible that with a Baroque bow, guts strings and NO SHOES still sounding like the most romantic versions you can find.

[@TomBombadilTheEldest]

Easily my favorite single piece of this particular genre.

[@mi.monteiro]

Coisa divina. Incrível!

[@David-vy6wf]

Beautiful ! I love to listen to good cello playing Bach, as I use it to interpret it for Flute. Thanks for sharing your gift!!!

[@josephmiller5399]

[@LenaBea]

I am 11 and playing this piece and was looking for insperation and found this. It is as great as Yo Yo Ma's not including the cello, the emotion and the scenery.

[@georgemissailidis7581]

Oh my God that last note after that harmony took my breath away, Jesus.

Almost makes me cry, beautiful!
