1:31 .. un leve eorrosito una nota falsa.. repitió nota :s

rayos pero fue un error hermoso... para tocar la gigue seguida de toda la primera parte q a lo bien exige bastante .. es darse mcuha garra, además de que su sonido es tan penetrante, es noble poderoso y fuerte a la vez... él es el rey

Very well done! It does seem a bit rushed, though. Especially after the long notes, he goes into the next phrase without any kind of breath. I recently learned this on electric bass and posted a youtube video of my playing. I transposed it to D major to better suit the standard tuned 4 string bass. I try to use hammer-ons, pull-offs and slides to imitate the cello bow on the slurs.

Wow!!! This guy is amazing. He must be one of the top 3 cellists in the entire world.... anyone agree or disagree?

[EchoWinds071]

Haha, well sadly, he's passed away now. But yes, he was one of the best around. :)

Bravo! Everytime I hear Rostropovich play on youtube, I always seem to find myself clicking on the fifth star... Wonderful!!! Rest In peace!

[Mart89911210]

[jhmathwizar]

lol wtf???

[shredftw]

yeah wtf?

[fdapproved16]

uhhhhhh????

[skornkob]

yeah, i noticed that too, jeliff... strange

[jeliff7]

did he add an extra 3 notes in measure 31? they're not in the barenreiter edition...

[mus1580]

yea, in the last few bars of the second half, he adds an extra beat's worth of notes. . . both times too! I mean, if anyone in the world is allowed to do such a thing, it's Rostropovich, for sure, but how weird!

[jonathantosio]

His trills are like a steam roller... gees!
