[@anaximenaescobarlopez3959]

YEEEESSS

[@Nodybass]

I was thinking the same today

[@petergardner729]

I love Steven Isserlis! You should do episodes where you focus on one particular piece or movement.

[@cirohernandezcello]

Gracias Pablo. La historia, la comunidad del violonchelo nunca podrá agradecerte lo suficiente lo que estás haciendo en cuestión de difusión, concepto, conocimiento etc de nuestro instrumento. Talking Cello son vídeos de un valor incalculable. Gracias nuevamente

[@jesushelgueraalonso8748]

Cierto!🎯

[@ArturoSernaMusic]

Este es el video This is the interview of the year!!! Can't get better than this!

[@pabloferrandez]

🙏🏻😊

[@lawnerddownunder3461]

It really spoke to me when Steven talks about how one may have a great technique, yet not focusing on that but being caught up in the mood of the music and that is what gets the audience truly involved in the performance. The musician is simply a conduit to bring the story of the music to the audience, rather than themselves being the focus because of their technical ability. Benjamin Zander said in one of his Masterclasses that, "yes you're a great cellist, but what else have you got? You have to be able to reach your audience." As a brand new cellist, that struck me hard.

[@irebustini]

Thank you so much. Great resource, great inspiration, and great fun to watch this. We appreciate this TALKING CELLO series and it is a great educational tool. Thank you so much! 👏👏👏🙏🏽❤️

[@miguelangelvilleda]

Gracias por traer luz a este encierro Pablo, abrazo con cariño desde México!! 🎻🎶

[@AlamoCityCello]

Steven Isserlis is one of my favorite cellist. There's a level of intimacy and sincerity in his music. Disarming!

[@estibalizuranga115]

Siempre atenta y agradecida a tus videos

[@delfinagalvez5408]

Qué felicidad! Pensé que con el incipiente movimiento post cuarentena mas la preparación para grabar en enero, no ibas a tener tiempo para dedicarte tanto a esto... me equivoqué. Mil millones de gracias Pablo

[@javieraliaga7052]

Genio Pablo, gracias!!!

[@kerriepierce4663]

Another great episode Pablo! It's so fun to be able to see these conversations and not only see cellists you admire, but meet new ones too! Thank you so much for your work on these. They are such joy, especially during this difficult time.

[@thatcellistfromfinland4402]

I have been binge watching talking cellos, it's like taking multiple masterclasses. Super interesting and helpful since I'm preparing for my recital. Nice to see how differently people approach same techniques. Can't wait for the next one!

[@MusicaAngela]

What a wonderful interview with such an honest, thoughtful and humorous musician!

[@arantxabermudez5556]

Steven Isserlis was the teacher of my cello teacher :3 This is really exciting. :D

[@ZaddyGohan]

That’s awesome! Have you played for him

[@arantxabermudez5556]

Daniel Lail No :( I'm from Mexico, we are a little bit far. But I would love it

[@Nodybass]

En que parte d México estudias? Quien es tu maestro?

[@jfrbcelloguitar]

Excelente ambos, y el invitado que maestro tan relajado, contagia. 👍Gracias

[@sebastianvallina7901]

Gracias Pablo! Que gran cosa estas charlas que haces.

[@jesushelgueraalonso8748]

Genial entrevista...genial Steven... Ole...

[@Lwayte]

Great interview! What a charming man he is! You covered a lot of ground but I wish were longer. I’m now looking forward to exploring the Britten cello symphony and the Rachmaninov trio. One suggestion: please push a bit harder with follow-up questions before moving to a new topic. Your questions are great, but you sometimes let the issue drop without getting a complete answer.

[@annasrodecka]

Steven!! Thank you for this amazing interview! ❤️

[@inesbustos8037]

Qué bueno fue toparme con este video, realmente, muy interesante! Saludos desde Argentina 🇦🇷👋🏼

[@bealreadyhappy]

Thank you. Most enjoyable. Love to meet you both. I have warmth towards Steven recently.

[@francescaromanin5897]

Thanks Pablo for another great episode!! You and all your guests are just fabulous, make me giggle and practice 😂

[@cellodiva1]

Enjoyed listening to you both and love the honesty and adorable sense of humour. I will look out for the book and recordings.

[@AlamoCityCello]

Steve is my fav cellist for Schumann. Dreamy lines!

[@galnyska]

Thanks a lot for another great episode!

[@belenramos3567]

Muchas gracias Pablo por estas conversaciones! Han sido una enorme ayuda para mí en estos días de cuarentena y aislamiento. He aprendido mucho con tu contenido, mucho más que en años de estudio! Se agradece mucho la dedicación de tu parte de entregar tan buen contenido! Por favor, si se puede haz otra conversación con Kian Soltani! Es muy inteligente y entrega excelentes consejos!!

[@lucimo1695]

[@drewbaker5595]

Thank you

[@Nickburnett]

Have you since listened to Brittens Cello Suite No1? And will you learn it? It's stunningly rich.

[@Nodybass]

Buenisima entrevista Pablo, sigo ti canal y tiene excelente contenido. Saludos de un contrabajista mexicano!

[@andreasbyczkowski3435]

Definitely, when I focus on the rousing drama of the composition, the notes and chords, thankfully, just naturally seem to all fall into perfect place. Lol)It’s really amazingly wonderful. Jokes aside> Two great cellists with unique “strengths” and several good jokes.

[@nasrannawi5229]

😍😍😍

[@ayelenbustosmarrero]

El sentido del humor de Steven me da vida

[@eissaalqadi3319]

can you please do a masterclass on Hayden cello concerto 1 ❤🥰

[@sabinamauri7423]

He really is the master interpreter, and this interview made me think. Cello is a very technical instrument so if course you must practice and understand the piece meaning and necessary dynamics. But can you study in advance really every accent and colour, or is there a line after which everything is just too prepared? Can you still be IN the music at that point?

[@denise2169]

I think this is true of every instrument. You have to study the composer’s intentions as closely as you can, and hopefully once the music becomes part of your soul, you have to trust your body knows what to do and you can let go and be in the music. This is what I think Isserlis must do.

[@nicolasadler8671]

Steven Isserlis’ technique is so ingrained into his musicality all he needs to do if focus one making music and the technique just follows. That’s the goal to be achieved by any musician in my opinion!

[@marquiseriley8179]

You should make this a podcast series

[@Chasestringsmusic]

This was GREAT! SOP GABETTA NEXT?!?!?!!?!?!😃

[@gasparocelloman9852]

🥇

[@contestant2964]

Do this with truls mork!!!

[@euomu]

NOOOOO WAYYYYY WHATTTT

[@JihoonKcello]

Cello talk 11: Gautier Capucon

[@vaughanmclea6907]

Yo yo ma next please!!!!!

[@katie4623]

Pablo seems so much warmer as a person than Steven. I know Steve’s a cello master but I’m just talking about the vibe/personality.

[@euomu]

Steven is an older, British man. What do you expect? Pablo is a young Spanish cellist who admires him. You can’t compare them. Besides, it’s not even important

[@yuminlee5540]

When are you going to talking cello with me? XD

[@fingerhorn4]

Well, the title says talking cello WITH Isserlis but it is all a one way conversation with no dialogue and Pablo, who is being very gracious, is not asked his opinion on anything. It's all Isserlis. To the point of rudeness on Isserlis's part. Oh well.

[@walterkirchgessner]

I'm sorry, but I find it hard to stand this affected guy Isserlis...and I don't have to. So I'll switch off quickly. 😷

[@fingerhorn4]

I somewhat agree. Notice how Isserlis treats Pablo like a beginner, ignoring the fact that Pablo is a fantastic player, but Isserlis talks about himself without once asking Pablo his opinion on anything! But Pablo is gracious throughout which is a great credit to him. I too find Isserlis very self absorbed and self important, but maybe he is just shy and it comes out all wrong.
