daniil Shafran & Giulini Dvorak concerto Vienna 1st mov 3

[Elipito5]

I love him. I don't think he's the best, but he is defnitely up there. I prefer Feuermann or Rostropovich. 

[NadinViolin]

absolutely agree with cello0522)))))))))))))

[bensini]

he is so simply phenomenal...so effortless, light, modest, epic, and colorful, that the orchestra is poised and inspired to follow him...when that happens, you get performances like this...

[wooskru]

I don't like the ending from Giulini:It's way too slow..the last orchestral tutti should be the final blast of this relentless movement...but he ruins it.In his other dvorak with Rostropovich he does the same..what a pitty...

[Giordie666]

7:00 lmao!!

[chaiter1]

What an amazing cellist!!!!!!!

Today is the first time I heard him and I can't get enough of his playing..

This is absolutely superb!!!!

[rarecellos]

Wow, what a performance!!

Who is the Principal Cellist in Wiener Symphoniker? Anybody know? Looks familiar!

[cellodave]

Thank you for this, what a gift! I've heard all of the great cellists and nobody's playing has touched me like this. Any chance of posting the rest of this concerto?

[MrEdLion]

To compare Shafran to any other cellist is laughable. There is an Artist with no compromise who gave his life to music and to us

[brunoparis12]

SO MOVING .......so human his cello....SUCH A GREAT ART !!!!

[HeifetzBeatsOistrakh]

Any chance of posting the other movements? so moving.

[wuzhiqi1979]

I would like to know where to get DVDs of this cellist. Please let me know. I love his playing!

[berlinzerberus]

woww,this is really a great artist - the way he plays the violoncello i like more than rostropowitsch´s!

[mini628]

Each note of his playing has its own meaning. Each note of his playing is an art. Best of best, ever. He is the Artist...

[mini628]

Each note of his playing has its own meaning. Each note of his playing is an art.....Best of Best, ever......

[Cellofrag]

I don't know why he isn't as famous as other great Russian musicians, like Rostropovitch, he should.

In my opinion, one of the best cellist.

But one question : do you know why his ear is "stuck" to the cello ?

[Kurtyoungblood]

So he can literally be a part of the music.

[OzzyKingofKings]

I think it's very touching to see Shafran press his head against the side of the instrument. It's done as one would caress a lover.

[jwunschie14]

some people do that, can you tell me why yoyo ma turns his head to the right when he plays? (away from the scroll) people have different ways of getting comfortable, it sometimes looks weird lol

[MrVeritte]

I know you may not like my answer. Western media did not interested in that...! Soviets also were bad enough to screw western talented people too. But here is what I would do, I would read about him more. Danny Shafran playing on his Amatti cello. He died already. But his works are great as Rostropovich. Moreover, he taught master classes all over the world - Paris, Tokyo, Vienna, Berlin, Milan.... But, ... not in U.S., he as forbidden, although he did play in N.Y., S.F., and L.A. too.

[cello0522]

Absoutely the best cellist ever! Shafran's cello is just an obedient tool of his voice (and he has a great deal to say in this concerto). He has truly incredible range of colors and depth which I've never heard of any cellists/violinists can come even close to him (not even his students such as Misha Quint, Suren Bagratuni etc.) I just can't believe anyone can criticize Shafran's play....he is either mentally retarded or having too much wax in his ears.....

[aulonge]

He plays amazing, but it is horrible come on! it is just cello playing and nothing else more.

[zwolftonmusik]

Incredible. Please post the rest. Where can I get a video/DVD of this?

[iggorr82]

Amizing! There is so much love in his playing!

[vladiinsky]

pay attention to 2:40 :))))

[54294493]

¡¡¡EL MEJOR!!!

[Beethovenpattern]

the world has not payed much of attention to this best ever cellist..shame!

[taiwan886]

How come The Strad magazine never celebrates Shafran? This 'cellist deserves more recognition as an artist than probably any other string player. Damn straight.

[hoppako]

Gracias

[viviviccello]

The most incredible cellist!!!!!!!!!!!

[BWV1008]

great video!!! thank's for this add!!! Shafran forever!!!

[flotan]

Thank you 1000 times!

The best Dvorak ever of the most interesting cellist ever. Please post the other movements, PLEASE!!!!

[taiwan886]

Simply the best...

[petruska2125]

Waw! Just the best Dvorak I never heard! What a power, what a sound! What I was doing all this years listening the Rostropovich, Ma, Maisky, and other versions! That's how the Dvorak must sound like!
