Famous cellist from the french school Andre Navarra. 1957.

[@dimosgoudaroulis]

what a great master and what a pleasure and a gift to be able to watch him playing! beautiful french taste and bow technique!

[@pascalabadie7204]

Magnifique André Navara.

[@JuanMartinexplacerez-mw3we]

Magistral Ejecución .

[@michaharan]

samething with me. I studied with this great man who was the best pedagogue I know and of course one of all time greatest cellists.

[@marinacaaaa]

uno de los de los mas grandes musicos y violonchelistas.

[@user-lz1rz2ro9u]

К своему стыду не слышала его....Сколько в жизни потеряно.!Потрясающий музыкант!Штрихи отпадные!

[@analogyman]

This was on Navara's LP "Cello Colors," which I bought around 1960. It was one of my favorite recordings. Sadly, my ex-wife kept it when we split--and I've never been able to buy a replacement copy. Too bad it is not available as a CD.

[@caronte1277]

One of my favorites cellist.. wath a bow!!!!!...

[@wasagoodyear-mg9kt]

fantastic bow hand!

[@ViktorLagunes]

I can't beleive how amazing this man is, his fingering technique is just ridiculous

[@user-xr2yd1ex2w]

Fantastic!!

[@user-lz1rz2ro9u]

Господи ну и финал! ЭТО ЧУДО!

[@alpkunkar9471]

Superbamente bravo.

[@CarmenReyes-em9np]

Paganini es un milagro y con música delos grandes autores me deja sin palabras. 😍👋👋👋

[@penepatitenor]

Is it not technically, Rossini?

[@harryheights]

Exécution remarquable.

[@user-cp2sk9gk5x]

Incredibile👌

[@CarmenReyes-em9np]

Bravo !!!!!

[@MattGoffriller]

Yes this version is invaluable in that the right wrist is more often visible. Please keep it available.

[@jmrozendaal]

Wow, some bow technique ! ! ! I love that little flick when he takes his bow off the string. There is strangely little movement above the elbow (tho the upper arm is obviously engaged). I don't understand why people are excited about the wrist - it looks like a wrist to me. I see him using the fingers of the right hand in a remarkable way. A slightly supinated bow hold, really interesting.

[@shaheenmalick5999]

That bow arm

[@AlliSam54]

As good as the left hand execution is - watch the bow arm!

[@kristiangorbatko_cello]

Bravo ! Maybe someone has a Paganini piano Accompaniment ?

[@alvarobitran]

Don´t you feel that intonation is often on the sharp side?

[@louiswinterberg9513]

It was Quite common (back in theday) to turn a bit higher than the Piano.

[@alvarobitran]

@@louiswinterberg9513 what a strange thing to do...

[@incello712]

​@@louiswinterberg9513 no

[@brankohutt]

The most superior cellist ever. So lightly and fluently played

[@vaust]

I think cellobaroquelove has a good critique there; he's mindful and is fair.

[@violoncello7061]

10 mals besser als alle andere !!!

[@aswomebro2601]

the ending says "music for you

[@danicemo]

have anyone the score? i want to play but i have no the score

[@Garwynlinnell]

@Garlos888 how can you hate on Navarra? You spelled Navarra wrong btw. He is a legend, a true legendary player. I really dont think you can criticize him unless you can play the second variation exactly like he can.

[@anderreys7261]

Nicollo Paganini?

[@ElisabettaVS]

the comment is not rude but very qualified.

[@100crowns6]

As good,or better(!) than any violinist!

[@Frank-up9sk]

search paganini on imslp and find it

[@bzyakalka]

как классно он играет 2ю вариацию!!!

[@zaokoyechatma]

I hate that i drives me crazy

[@Apalexpe]

Lets hear them to see how close they get to the right intonation. I have absolute pitch and I would not dare to say such thing about such a great artist and musician as Navarra is.

[@user-dg6ek7ey4j]

很完美 但倒數第二個音應該要高八度比較好

[@jmrozendaal]

It's too bad that the pianist plays under the pitch of the 'cellist throughout.

[@alvarobitran]

John Mark Rozendaal I think is the other way around: the cellist is often sharp with intonation, despite being a fabulous Master. There is nothing the piano can do about it.

[@rainbow30330]

Wie superieur !! Der weitbeste Violoncellist !! Ganz leicht und unanstrengend

[@PAVN]

Who the hell are you?

[@owenhsmith]

It is ok to criticize the masters. How else can we improve upon their work.

[@C0urante]

I like it and all, but I think that putting vibrato on false harmonics is just overdoing it.

[@Garlos888]

It's a music based on the vocal type,so you must "sing" fantastic enough with your instrument. I don't think Navara's "singing" is touchy,just too fluently, I must say.....

[@violaplayer1995]

SHUT UP! what is wrong with shaking his head. he feels the music. he'll play better than you will in your lifetime!

[@tonyvillamotte4339]

Not as good as Feuermann, who had as good a bow technique as Navarra and, unlike Navarra, was able to play in tune.

[@cesarwilhelm]

Tony Villamotte navarra is in tune...

[@assindiastignani5015]

Oh dear. Even if I thought that, I would never write such a thing. In this live performance, he misses the one or the other note, but Navarra not able to play in tune? It certainly takes chuzpah to say that.

[@babsycello]

I thought I was the only one thinking the very same. Let's see if we can do better
