[@benmeitzen4184]

Awesome! One of the greatest cellists of all time!

I like that the category is Sports, good humour.

[@yigitvural1150]

Yeah, you need muscles to perform the whole piece I think.

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

@@yigitvural1150 Yes, cello is a very demanding instrument, physically, technically, and musically.

[@Alceste1977]

One word: elegant.

thanks!

[@christocello7731]

Marvelous playing! BTW - the fastest version to my knowledge of the first movement. But he does not seem to hurry at all....

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

Sebastian Baverstam speeds through it. The heavy metal fans love it but it's ruined by the speed and desire to show off virtuosity. This and Starker's is far better.

Genial

[@mikedunn7553]

My fellow Cello pupil, Lars Johansen was good enough to receive a scholarship to go and study with Fournier! I switched to racing motorcycles and spent the next 6-7 years trying to kill myself!!....

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

I guess you didn't succeed.

[@mikedunn7553]

Jacob Koranyi is by far the best! (but then...it is all a matter of opinion!... do have a listen!) er, this one by Fournier is absolutely superb!

[@mikedunn7553]

..may as well add a woman's touch to proceedings! WONDERFUL! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6qkqmmeraycqMk

Some kind of very high pitched squeal/ring soft in the recording I doubt part of the composition.

[@ruxandraibric3079]

such an amateurish lame phrasing

[@aristideduplessis8151]

Is that really necessary?

[@ruxandraibric3079]

Absolutely.

[@aristideduplessis8151]

Wow. Congratulations.

[@eblackbrook]

Rusalka 78 Perhaps you could point to a particular phrase as an example and point to another performance which makes it so by comparison?

[@ruxandraibric3079]

@@eblackbrook , it's not ""by comparison", no need to compare anything at this level of misunderstanding the text. There's only common sense and basic musicianship needed ;)
