[alexandwolfe1]

Sounds better on cello

[Tetsuo315]

Bravo! Wow, this video is still controversial as ever....so many trolls.

[poveron7]

I would prefer to hear a arrange with both hands. Adding some colorfull chords there.

[TheExarion]

Needs way more rubato in terms of keeping it a bit more slow.. And throwing in the other hand wouldn't hurt :P

[ben10554]

he only use one song through out the whole song

[BusinessDK]

@ben10554 or maybe just one hand ;-)

[ajsaoluis]

[Marcoesdla1]

@Chin0309 ??

[rogulfever]

show off, if he had used 2 hands it would have enabled him to play this beautiful piece much softer and smoother, still love it though...

[lusteraliaszero]

next we'll see a guy on cello playing the piano prelude.

[stargazermedia]

Its good, but its way too fast!! but other than that good job,

[sisa475]

Where can I Buy the piano sheet music? It's very beautiful and you play very well!

[amsblog]

theres no problem in his tempo. if he can play it that fast without mistakes then its a skill. i know it shouldnt be played this fast, but still

[pianomidge86]

Also...playing the piece with a less sporadic tempo will help you retain absolute control over your playing and not to stumble over the notes as many times as you have in this performance. Rubato is only for those who can successfully control the speed, and the notes of the piece while still maintaining artistic poise.

[pianomidge86]

I must agree that this is one of the better piano transcriptions I've heard of Bach's Cello Suite No.1. If you, the artist, wish to take the piece as fast as you have performed it here, then do not accelerate the speed as drastically and as many times as you do. The piece is one of my favorites and probably a favorite for you as well? So why hurry through it? Enjoy it...please!

[pianomidge86]

I think your playing could be much better if your rubato was more gradual and less hurried. Do not accelerando so early either! Also the downbeat is drastically over emphasized; more than a cello player would, and isn't that what you're supposed to be doing? Imitating the sound of a cello on the piano? This piece should be serene and mostly steadily pulsed with an underlining hint of happiness, excitement, and joyful anticipation.

[kikofungi]

he play it well, but his tempo, hes good, but hes tempo its the only problem though

[suzettegm]

Tempo takes some getting used to but very interesting and exiting rendition, thanks for sharing!

[Bibilezoive]

magnifique!!

[Noshirm]

Otro pensamiento, Señor Roffe: nuestros oyentes delicado en estos días quiere ser seducido por la languideciendo, actuaciones distorsionada de la talla de Pogorelich y Lang Lang. Permítanos sugerirle que hacer precisamente eso y se limitan a la clase de actuaciones insípidas estos hombres a batir. Tal oyentes probablemente nunca han vivido con las actuaciones de los grandes pianistas del siglo 19, o que se sabe mejor que hacer comentarios tontos sobre su elección de tempo. ^_^

[Noshirm]

Esto es excelente! Se ha transcrito con fidelidad y jugó con imaginación, un gran don, y buen gusto. Creo Casals habría aplaudido calurosamente! Le he dado una merecida calificación de cinco estrellas. Feliz Año Nuevo a usted y los suyos. Sigue jugando de esta manera! Todos los mejores deseos.

[ChopinPianistaaa]

Me es increíble Escuchar esta Magnifica Pieza de J. S. Bach, y como Interprete Edgardo Roffé Increíble, me he pasado Meses Buscando esa Transcripción para Piano, pero no he tenido Suerte, Hermosa Melodía, te ¡ Felicito ! Excelentemente Interpretado.

P.D; Hay alguna Forma de que Usted pueda Pasarme la Partitura o la Transcripción, estaría Eternamente Agradecido. Gracias por la Atención de Subir este Video. Muchas Gracias.

[Daydreamriki]

1:08-1:09 oopsie?!

[VoodooChi]

@Daydreamriki No, it's suppose to be like that... :P

[sminhle]

@Daydreamriki

Yeah, I think he made little mistake there, it sounds awkward that way. Mb that's why he didnt smile naturally at the end - proper artists never accept themselves making mistakes while performing.

[ShinigamiSamaBankai]

@sminhle But that implies that they would have to sometimes make mistakes while performing ._.

The major problem in this is the tempo.

[umbierto]

a little bit too fast, but it's a very good job!

[ruckkkk]

Pau Casals se sentiria avergonzado con esta interpretación.

[Vioziro]

bellissimo!

[graciellyccb]

its too fast.... tah muito corrido perdeu o sentimento da musica

[assa123assa123]

[tenglee2]
