Shostakovich Cello Sonata: Emile Naoumoff with Mstislav Rostropovich

[@richardandaya3932]

I have had a good fortune of meeting and interacting with the Rostropovich several times. These are some of the highlights of my musical career. And I don’t refer to many great musicians as “maestro“. Slava merits this title.

[@Philipppppppppppppp]

i love how even other famous, great musicians treat rostropovich like a teacher

[@zinam5795]

Like Maestro breathes , like he's playing!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is an absolutely invaluable resource. Thank you for posting.

[@Bigbug123456]

This is a historical gem, showing the great genius of Rostropovich at work :)

[@mikerusli9660]

such a joy to watch this. 2 consummate artists getting together.

[@lizziecello6892]

i just love listening to him play...his sound his truly magnificent

[@JustinBirdMusic]

i love the the way he talks to Nauomoff as he goes

[@georgygusev]

Genio! only one cellist who plays in the same moment both parts, cello and piano...

[@andreasneumann]

I love the Thank you at 10:13 as response to Rostropovich's Bravo at 10:02 and the really etherical sound there

[@배지우-u6d]

what a legendery recod

[@dearyugos]

Who dislikes this??? I feel like there are people that just go to random videos all day disliking them

[@JMILESN1]

To be fair, this is a little messier compared with his playing throughout his prime and particularly his recordings in the studio where you can do a million takes.

[@Ushuvaya]

Beautiful!

[@MikeDrewYT]

He plays it like it was written for him or something...

[@Kwert]

I'm not sure if you're indirectly implying it was written for him or not, because it wasn't...

[@nikitamozhegov6944]

the 1st and maybe 2nd cello concerto is written for him)

[@Bigbug123456]

That would be a stallhammer endpin, designed different then regular endpins, supposed to give more support for the cellist, and that inward bend is part of the design

[@goodmanmusica]

great

[@Bigbug123456]

I have no idea about that, all I know is the bent type of end pin I have become familiar and the only one I know of is the stallhammer :)

[@TheYgds]

I remember playing this piece. While not very technically demanding compared to some of shostakovich's other pieces, it certain demands a lot of attention and care to pull off correctly. The 4th movement however is a real beast.

[@fasthumbs]

excellent, but what's with his end pin?

[@kezg3894]

YASSSSSSS

[@JMILESN1]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKDVmWR-fKZ2r9U This is and older recording with Shostakovich on piano! The piano playing is great in both, but Rostropovich is definitely stronger in this earlier recording.

[@123coolmik]

@mccafest Do you think you could transcribe the dialogue and put it as subtitles in the video?

[@Leoh_de_Mesquita]

The best cellist that ever lived

[@Derrymaine148]

8:46!

[@DrTodd13]

Rostropovich used a Stahlhammer style bent endpin.

[@MichaSchlechtriem]

No.

[@JulienGaudfroy]

It is the Tortelier endpin. Very different. All we can say is that the Stahlhammer was inspired by it. The only thing similar is the bent aspect.

[@Ushuvaya]

Excelent!

[@zaokoyechatma]

I didn't know mistro spoke English

[@jeger39]

what are they saying in the beginning? i can't understand! : D
