@Observeralfa Anna Sliva was born in USA to us Czech parents. We try to speak Czech at home and have played a lot of Czech and perhaps German music as a family.
@vsliva Do you agree that your precious cellist doesn´t have the Romanian Vibration, like our colleague commented below? (Sorry, I am a poor brazilian with no Classic Music Tradition in my jungle country...)
@vsliva Do you agree that your precious cellist doesn´t have the Romanian Vibration, like our colleague commented below? I think she is amazing! (Sorry, I am a poor brazilian with no Classic Music Tradition in my jungle country...)
@Observeralfa I agree with you I could not find any other recording with much different, country specific interpretation in order to learn and thus be able to honor it via own playing. The country specific interpretation is an emotional as well as individual issue. When I hear Czech music with US accent in USA, my feelings range from anger when notes are not played correctly to delight when musicians put their own heart in it. I hope most will feel the latter about Anna's playing here.
@vsliva Czech, as well other slavic people should thank you and your family for spreading this special culture. Here in South America, 1 person for each million knows that any time existed a musician named Bela Bartok. I honor your beautiful ( I saw the photo ) family. Excessive purity causes extinction, my friend.
I'm Romanian from Voivodina & I'm sorry this has no true Romanian vibe, feel or proper accent at all musically, they may be the correct notes but everything else about it is wrong. Romanians play with more vibrato & dynamics.
@Observeralfa I don't want to turn this into a debate. My point is from a cultural & musical experience being involved in it my whole life. I don't mean any disrespect to Ms. Silva, it's my opinion as a Romanian about Romanian music. Musicians should grow especially is they're involved with certain cultures & traditions if they're gonna perform it. I'm sure she is a wonderful musician & I applaud her effort. "The devil is in the details", but every artist can interpret music their own way.
I love Pe Loc, So haunting. They all are great but that's one of my faves.
Great performance.

@asherasator Maybe you could offer us, Non-Romanian and ignorant people a VIDEO that fullfills your CRITERIA.
I challenge you, Voivodinian! Show the video with your "true romanian vibe"!!
Or else, shut up!
