Zara Nelsova, Leonard Bernstein - Bloch: Schelomo

[@monicacall7532]

I started playing the cello in 7th grade. It was very easy for me to learn, but I wasn’t totally committed to be a cellist until the next year when my aunt took me see Nelsova play “Schelomo”. I had an epiphany during the performance. I would become the best cellist I could be. I owe Nelsova and “Schelomo” for 36 wonderful years as a professional cellist and teacher.

Beautiful rendition. And not easy to find in CD. Thanks for uploading.

Unfortunate that there are huge cuts, but still...what a find! "Zara Nelsova is my music." --Ernest Bloch

[@michaweinst3774]

I have a feeling this was a Young People's Concert, because Bernstein recorded the piece complete twice, so it was probably cut here for convenience's sake

Hey! I remember you from years back. Glad to know you are still living. Great recording but too bad for the cuts. I played this live with her in the 70s. She also did the Rococo on that concert. I played the Rococo with that orchestra for the rehearsal before she arrived.

The oboe player at 4:52 came to play with an orchestra in which my grandpa was playing in the viola section. My grandpa said the guy was very arrogant.

One of the pearls in the cello repertoire: to bad that some parts of the recording were cut. I would have loved to have heard the entirety of this performance.

That is my cello teacher’s teacher!

[@sevenpeoplecoasting4944]

Who is/was your teacher if you don’t mind me asking? This is also my teacher’s teacher. 😅

[@Twentythousandlps]

From a Young People's Concert called "The Road to Paris", featuring composers influenced by French music.

[@lorenzoventapane1484]

"WILBER.......!!!!"

[@paulkirkpatrick81]

She is the only female there. All male orchestra.

[@miriamhartman8952]

There is a female harp player. But yet, it is certainly striking.
