Paul Tortelier, Paganini - Variations on a theme from ''Moses in Egypt''

[@carolirvine3367]

In my own humble opinion, the best cellist ever, he makes the cello speak in a way that others can only dream of doing. I was so lucky to get to see him a couple of times. RIP M. Tortelier.

What makes this so different -- and interesting -- is that he plays the piece with style. It sounds slow when you first listen to it compared to how many play it today. But if you play it just a little bit slower than what we're used to (today) so much nuance and style comes out. He played with such style. The music actually has time to speak.

My Father put me onto Paul. We used to watch his master classes on the BBC. Terrific player and teacher !!!

[@TheCWMHALL]

Saw him a few times in London and when I was living in Paris .

For a very long time, I hum this music unconsciously whatever I am doing, walking, washing the dishes, riding my bicycle, staring out of the window…

Amazing how few views this has had. Real shame this genius has passed the younger generation by 🤔

7:00 His facial expression after this harmonics insanity is just brilliant. He looks so relieved to have got this section over with!

Oh my God,....gorgeous.

[@patrick6110]

After searching for a better interpretation of this piece and failing to do so, I come back to Tortelier.

[@heathermcdougall2399]

Same for Grieg Sonata too.

[@Bullroarer-oj3sp]

Look up Garry Karr playing it on double bass. Unreal. (Of course this is awesome as well)

A mi en mi opinion no me gusta como toca tiene demaciadas fallas tecnicas y de afinacion

[@angeltokman2309]

@@jaimerauno5549 No sea idiota, si fuera eso cierto, no estaría tocando ahí, ni sería reconocido como uno de los mejores. Maldita generación de humanos mediocres que no sabe donde esta parada.

Que sonido logra ese cello con los graves...!

😱👍🏻😶

[@limjoony1931]

His hands are so fast😶

[@dennisjones9044]

did you see how happy he was to get out of that whistling E?

[@alvilcas]

I love the little mistakes and how he brings the thumb so easy in first position. Beautiful video!

Le Grand Maître du violoncelle semblait déjà assez âgé ici ; nonobstant, une parfaite maîtrise de l'archet, assez époustouflante sur ce difficile Paganini ! BRAVO... Quant à la justesse des notes, n'y aurait-il pas quelques petits canetons, par ci par là (nota bene : un caneton est déjà un PETIT canard 🦆 😉 ) ? Peut-être un demi-ton, voire un quart de ton, 5 ou 6 fois sur 8 minutes de jeu .....????? BRAVO, Monsieur Tortelier 👏 !!!
