David POPPER : Spinning Song - Emanuel Feuermann (Cello)

[DurpenHeimer]

"The End"? Is this supposed to be a movie or something?

[Dougan840]

Pfft...Eddie van Halen did NOT "start" tapping....look at this guy

[snootzie78]

Impossible cello playing. I'm an amateur and I can't even play this.

[redbumblebeeHD]

@snootzie78 you do know that amateur means beginner?

[warandcheese]

@redbumblebeeHD hahahahha

[hagenbell]

@snootzie78 WHAT AMATEUR COULD PLAY THIS!!!!

[SpongedobShortpants]

That was incredible...

[ramenfreak3]

ridiculous.

[eschelar]

Holy crap.

I just can't believe he kept up that amazing playing while some guy shoved a camera between the body and the strings at 1:20!

heheheh.

Nice stuff!

[pr3typ0ny]

He is so stoned lol. what a pro

[fredcello]

The greatest cellist of all time

[floracsello04]

bravooo!

[whatwedoingcsemusic]

This is as close to metal as normal cello gets - although you'd have to be far from normal to be able to play it...

[ThinkOfHappyThings]

@whatwedoingcsemusic There is always Apocalyptica. :P Look them up; you'll be amazed.

[Grufian]

This just took my breath away! I knew several of his star pupils during the 30 years that I was working in the Hollywood studios.

[woppard1]

This is almost frightening. How does he remain so perfectly calm?

[meestaryan1444]

I think popper was high when he wrote this piece.

[dissidencello]

Unbelievable, miraculous...

[MrMKH2010]

It's all in the wrist. Absolutely perfect technic.

[schumacherenator]

One look at Feuermann's face and it is clear to all: Not a single fuck was given that day.

[dbpsoccer121]

the ending.........

wtf............

[violatione]

Dayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyum! That shit is out of control!!! It's so clean. Honestly not many violinists are that clean.

[askdhg]

@violatione He is a violoncellist...

[violatione]

@askdhg I know that. Violin is easier however and there aren't that many who play this clean.

[klakitan]

oooh My God!!!!!! It's unbelievable!!!

[Slimestar1]

teddy saidenberg is my great grandpa! just saying

[cellocarrot]

Wow!

[J10RGUS]

1:20 - 1:40 aaaahaha!!

[mophoplz]

that bow-hold!

just incredible.

[D7B55]

@mophoplz The left hand just as good!

[ElisabettaVS]

Wow. Look at his technique...

[memelasmamasrico]

deslumbrante!!!

[xxxRaKixxx]

lol his expression makes it look like he's not having any trouble playing the piece at all

I wish i could play like him

[zito22zito22]

LOl I can imagine all the things he may be thinking while playing his song... like 100 000 techniques details...

[MaChiHofmann]

Einfach genial!

[adriantween584]

Thank you for uploiding this!!!

[purple0rhino]

Heheheheeee yaaaaaay!!!! This is so cool!!!! :D

[vstasov]

A miracle!  Thank you.

[animemusic8]

why miracle?

[proggoth]

I remember seeing this film at the world cello congress in '86(?) The audience was actually laughing due to his stoic expression all the while his fingers move at a blinding speed.

[paulostroff99]

I, of course meant that HE could never be replaced! He played as well as could be played!

[paulostroff99]

Unimaginable! This man was god of the cello!

Bravo! You can never be replaced.

[Kievest]

He makes the cello sing like a violin.

No one can take his place. Thank you.

[petrof4056]

Fantastic!

[kakesame]

maan... wish I had that god-like technique ....

[rimatus]

LOL... WTF.... is he human?

[M145A5V9836E]

I don't know... I don't think so XD

[heroechild]

Amazing. Fantastic. Genius.

[delt6019]

Astonishing left hand technique- i've seen nothing like it.

Really fluid bow technique also.

Absolutely amazing!

[maxinorth]

He makes it look easy but it's actually very hard. If you think it's easy you probably can't play it well.

[celllist01]

he is increadibul!! he is about smiling when he is playing a really dificult song!!

[ganonspike]

this is really impressive

[Pappythapapsta]

its just not even hard

[ApostasyXVIII]

haha Pappythapapsta you're a dumb ass. i wanna see a video of you playing it

[Pappythapapsta]

no no no

the way i meant it was for him

like he makes it look like its nothing

thats what i meant k im sorry

[willy1514]

What an artist! What a pity he died of a hemorrhoidectomy in 1942 about a year after this film was made.

[C0urante]

His effortlessness with the shifting and rapid fingerings is annoying. Especially since I can't play this piece half as fast XD.
