Janos Starker - Kodály Cello Solo Sonata II. Mvt

[DurpenHeimer]

Has anyone even seen the sheet music for this movement?! Its unbelievably ridiculous. The time signatures...6+4/8 time...How to count that?

[thehillcefis]

il migliore

[DuzzisUzis]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever fucking heard.

3:49 CELL PHONE RINGING.

[alucarsama16]

que buena canción

[ASJH1102]

This is definitely the hardest piece for cello ever written. "I'm Starker, playing Kodaly is like playing a scale....." GREATNESS

[hypeisdead]

Wow... he ripped this movement a new f-hole, if I may say so myself.

[jls9274]

This sonata, and this movement in particular, is one of the human race's greatest intellectual achievements.

exelente músico ejecutante e increíble la inspiración de Kodaly en este movimiento, donde se destaca una habilidad instrumental excepcional, con un manejo técnico pocas veces visto antes. Felicitaciones al autor y su intérprete!!!!

[beethomozart]

all the technical resources of the instrument are explored with an unexpected efficacy in this work, so fascinating as complex from the score´s point of view

[TimKang1]

My favorite movement from this sonata. It partially inspired me to start playing cello.

[seattlegrrlie]

Oh, this is just stunning. Just stunning

[ketan9728]

awesome....!!!

[kristin1ashley]

the control you have to have in your left hand for this is amazing..

he makes this looks so effortless.. haha

[damrunner2]

@kristin1ashley its not so much control as it is a release. ive been studying with one of starkers former students, its amazing how his method makes the cello so much easier to play

[jimjoyce25]

That's a pretty nice sounding cello

[MrPsychoCellist]

so beautiful

[Dlaeoqls]

saw that he was counting the tempo during the short pause at around 1: 30... so cool : )

[thomasodelago]

Its a part of the piece, the two pizzicatos are in the partiture. But he brings it like some kind of silent metronome, ticking on the background, amazing.

[N2MBarbosa]

Starker is a fantastic musician, cellist and teacher.

One of my teachers studied two years with him and she was amazed by him.

He he fantastic and is one of best kodaly recordings. :)

[chriseok]

False - THE best Kodaly recording.

[samur2121]

Pieter Wispelwey plays this the best by far. but Mr. Starker's is still very good

[wiyam]

Have you heard Braeden Stanley's? Braeden defnintely does it best.

[magwhyr]

wow, incredible

[cellogeek95]

This version of Kodaly cello solo sonata must be the best cello performance I´ve heard in my life, and I´ve heard alot of great performance. I can´t stop listening to it! The piece, and Dr.Starker, it´s all phenominal. I can´t express myself how much I love it!

[meaning1]

I concur. The power he has over the cello is unrivalled. The hall probably contributes, but other performers have the aid of a concert hall too...it's so enthralling. His playing reminds me of Disney movie music (not a negative thing)

[releasethefrogs]

I love this piece but it would be interesting to hear a multi-movement solo cello sonata with at a movement in a different key than that defined by the 'C' and 'G' strings (which are tuned to B and F# in this piece). It would be a challenge to play and write but it's entirely possible to pull off spectacularly, especially in a slow movement.

[bubizz]

he broke my heart

[Vibrez]

I have no words

[maksusername]

Heh heh, you just said some.

[santacruzed]

thank you for posting this!!

[Otolinek10]

Just few words: one of tge gratest cellist od 20th century!

Marrvellous!

[black0jackass]

no, Starker is the greatest!

[john917103]

your an idiot even if that was sarcasm

[black0jackass]

i'll set your mom on fire!

[wace423]

hahahaha, what the fuck? what kinda insult was that? :D

[Arodang]

you have to leave room for Rostropovich

[gabcello]

una tecnica intachable
