Piatti- Caprice No.7, John-Henry Crawford

[@NoshuHyena]

The melodic line is so clear and you give it a life of its own!

[@fourstrings48]

Ladies and gentlemen, here is the Starker (or the Fournier, or the Gendron, or the Rostropovich, as you prefer) of the next generation. Since I am living in Italy, where I arrived back in 1980, I do hope that he will come and perform for us here in Milan. He is awesome!

[@prokrastnation6071]

This is... quite objectively one of the best cellist I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching.

[@cellokeith]

Watched this again today. To me, this defines perfection.

[@fourstrings48]

I see that there are eight 'thumbs down'. But how on Earth can anyone fail to acknowledge the excellence of this superb performance?

[@sirswagger21]

I'm sorry, who could dislike this video? Absolutely stunningly played, bravo!

[@mihastacks1714]

Maybe they wanted to like but they disliked not by their purpose

[@chriskershaw7968]

that nonchalence, that absolute nonchalence... *kowtows*

[@fourstrings48]

Technically impeccable, and highly musical into the bargain. Bravissimo!

[@tyty2tiethr335]

Mr. Crawford, your interpretation of this song is by far my favorite. You are exemplary! Thank you!

[@cellocrawford]

Very kind words! Thank you for listening!

[@josephsmith3961]

He's playing that with a bandaid on his finger? Mad respect. It sounds incredible.

[@MrDoglightning]

After I listened to this I said out loud "are you kidding me". That was amazing great job!

[@monelleny]

Beautiful!

[@galnyska]

such natural, free and honest cello playing and music making... thank you.

[@mcguffin4379]

Seriously breathtaking, every note so clear without losing the circularity. Amazing!

[@keilou_3296]

I'm playing caprise number 1 and 9 and they are a nightmare. My playing sounds like a 4 yr old screaming.Thiss Is very impressivr

[@CarlosRicovslosmolinosdeviento]

Gorgeous playing, the definite best in youTube, the different voices are clear, great emotion. I am speechless

[@pneuma6313]

This is beyond impressive! And I could be mistaken, but is he playing with a band aid on his first finger? If so, I am even more stunned! He makes it soud so easy and it´s played so gracefully. Will come back to watch this again for sure!

[@borlev239]

Thank you very much for this. I just can not stop listening this master piece.

[@alexanderhersh]

I always love Bach!

[@bencrouch858]

This isn’t Bach…

[@askk69420]

This is Carlo Alfredo Piatti, not Bach.

Magnificent rendition!!! I'm going to give my best shot at learning this but it will have to be a steady battle...

[@alexandersmithcellist]

Your line is very clear. Your instrument is beautiful as well.

[@samdajellybeenie14]

According to his bio, it's 200 years old and was smuggled out of Europe in 1938 by his grandfather (also a cellist) Dr. Robert Popper.

[@euomu]

@@user-ok6ef9zn4f he clearly said ROBERT. So, no, not David.

[@user-ok6ef9zn4f]

@@euomu wonder if there's any relation lol

[@mariush.composer]

Found you on instagram, and I'm so amazed by your great and playing and clear phrasing

[@cellocrawford]

Thank you so much!!

[@cellokeith]

Awesome

[@RealJstJazz]

Sound like some British piece for teh king

[@the14thmoonofuranus]

Beautiful 💖

[@FredyVillegasCello]

Bravissimo

[@fourstrings48]

Dare I say it? I think that I like John-Henry Crawford's performance of this piece even better than Janos Starker's superb version (also available on KZbin).

[@enochkim8231]

[@josephm4589]

I’m working on caprice 11 and I wish I could play like this on number 7

[@jay_cvs2]

I know some say this is like pag 1, but I still think this piece is pretty nice on its own. It’s definitely different from pag 1

[@euomu]

Nobody has said that... They are talking about difficulty. Not the way it sounds.

[@marleydias302]

[@phantom0222]

Who is here from twoset ?

[@hakai-nr4qs]

oh mannnnnn this is so good!!!, my teacher wants me try this and we even have watched your together! lmao i have only have been playing cello for a year and man this is a challenging piece! just a random question, what cello is this? what/which maker is it from? it has such nice tones sound and im thinking getting a uprade from my Heinrich Gill W3 cello. Thanks! Also hello from 2021 hahaha

[@lencello]

Пойду помолюсь за свою за свою растяжку пальцев и интонацию

[@YarChistov]

What cello is this?

[@MegaSergeant]

John-Henry is from a musical family and performs on the 200 year old European cello smuggled out of Austria in 1938 by his grandfather, cellist Dr. Robert Popper.

[@DurpenHeimer]

Robert Popper? Is there some sort of lineage that I was unaware of?

[@alvarobitran]

Is it made by Martin Stoss?

[@aivarsa6810]

You are very well gifted, keep up the good work!.. If one day you have a time and desire, please record a Piatti Cello Concerto No.2, Op.26. I can't find any recording of that piece, from 1. concerto too. imslp.org/wiki/Cello_Concerto_No.2,_Op.26_(Piatti,_Alfredo_Carlo) All the best ;)

[@martinburghardt9738]

Das Stück ist mit maestoso überschrieben, feierlich und gemessen soll es damit sein. Respekt davor, es als prestissimo spielen zu können, aber es trägt dem Ansinnen des Komponisten nur bedingt Rechnung. Der Daumen geht da nicht nach oben.
