[mars91tc]

As a cello player, i music

[EreBeMonsters]

mm i knew your first song right off the bat

Bach-Cell Suite No. 1Prelude. Beautiful piece if i must say. I did play the Cello for some time then stopped but i should try it agian. =]

[Blue67impala]

That was amazing!!!

[MDMAZING1]

Fine Job

[Stainlessb2]

lovly played...

[Granturismoman]

@Ega121212 not wierd at all

[cloudaisha]

wow it would take computers to make that sound but you just played it and it was better than a computer.

[LostFaith666]

Whats this song?

[BlueMoonLightDreams]

bach!!

[DianaMaribel]

sounds perfect

[GarrettX1991]

You are a badass.

[Brian8059]

Which edition of the suite do you use?

[DEADMAN780]

sounds great.

how about next time you put some feeling into it.

anyone can play it as it was made but it take a realy musician to play from the heart to add just a bit os style

[LaScapeGoat]

very good.

[8percentband]

hi im a young musician looking to start the cello i play many instruments but the cello is my favorite but to be honist i just dont know where to begin

[cellojourney]

@8percentband If you can find a local teacher that really helps.

[PatriciaTavaresDW]

@cellojourney what about learning it yourself?

[Oreyesin]

In response to 8percentband ...Money, money, money, and more maintenance money. Cello's are expensive. But it is one of my favorite instruments as well, and if you have access to a Cello and know basically how not to damage it, you can learn yourself without a teacher, save your money, invest your time and play.. good luck.

[XoXMissyLynnXoX]

@8percentband ~~~ You and me Both :(

[Hulahoopingbear]

Ugh, Amazing. Just amazing. I've played cello for around two years now, at my school. Everyday. It makes me want to be able to play like this

[Cellisima9]

that's a very unique bowing. I like it. is it your own or did you get it from an arrangement?

[cellojourney]

@Cellisima9 This bowing originally came from the Starker edition of Bach. Some of the other bowings are from Barenreiter.

[ElenRenee]

I heard this song growing up and I fell in love with it, but I dont know the name of this song, so if anyone does know the name of this song will you please message me and tell me, Thank you :)

[iainlbc]

Elen, this is Prelude from Bach's Cello Suite No. 1

[ElenRenee]

i would really like to know the name of this song, I heard this a long time ago growing up, and fell in love with this song, but I don't know the name of it. If anyone knows please message me and let me know. please and thank you!

[cellojourney]

@ElenRenee It is the Prelude from Suite No.1 by Bach.

[cutepunk12]

you complete me i wish i could do that

[skyler1251]

oh my goodness this is so beautiful! i have always wanted to play the cello. its my favorite instrument. i play the flute and thats it lol. hoefully i can get one soon if i save up! its os beautfiful!

[itsMRfuzzy]

you know that in the american express commercial they skip 80% of this song

Thats Wrong but they do only have like 30 second

[teddynozza]

FREE MIXTAPES

[Vans89]

I cired

[absolutlystunning]

i love this piece. the cello is my best friend :D

[pokerface127]

wow, i'ts so pretty!

[kimols93]

BRAVO! regards from norway!

[glaucodichio]

Bravissimo!

[Atig023]

You're amazing!

[shekinfire69]

i love this preludio...goob interpretation

[free2fly20]

I love the Cello I think its an amazing instrument and you play it beautifully I wish I could play like that I wouldn't know where to start :) Very talented indeed :)

[lilpup27]

Wow. Very beautiful. I would love to learn to play some day. I was interested in violin, but it seems a bit to screechy for me, though it might have just been because I was hearing the sound through video and not in real life. Though, I do prefer the deeper sound. I play clarinet and tenor sax and I much prefer the tenor, though I enjoy them both.

[itsMRfuzzy]

I've play cello for about 3 years and it not hard to play after playing other instruments the only thing is that swiching from Violin to cello is a lot harder

[MRsoon8]

i agree... can u please advice me.. what to do..its really hard..

[nezvanova]

Sub par in my opinion. If you want to see an incredible performance look up Mischa Maisky playing any of the suites.

[LockDown2050]

when i play it i put vibrato in the first B's

[sbbmovies]

very nice, i learn a lot from you. I´m playing the same music pieces on cello

[MileyCyrus700]

march 27 is my bitrthday!

[waffles3434]

Wow that was pretty good. I dont know if its just me or could it be a little smoother in some spots like when he goes from high down to his lower notes. idk. Maybe u could not talk that much in the beginning either. I kind of just skipped over that...not to be mean or anything. I'm just trying to give some constuctive criticizem.

[pokerface127]

incredible!

[por3eso3]

i fell in love with mr cello!

<3

[sayyyokkk]

Awsoooome

[xXxXCellistXxXx]

Cello Suite No.1 Prelude very lovely

[Sonie1997]

I know how to play the cello, it's great. And you really well!

[ryba4u]

[jthameschoir]

yes, that is Bach. so wonderful isn't it?

[streitlucas]

Yeah, and he plays that good !

[superfisure]

C-E-L-L-O

[jtaylor8424]

Very nicely played. I wish to hear you play some of my compositions one day. I have some up on my youtube page if you wanna listen.

[RebekahElena]

that was seriously great.

bravo! :D

[10140457]

[rayunseitig]

Just Great.

[h3arty]

ohhh, wow! i LOVE this song! wonderful!

[Haviland999]

good ending, lovely playing

[CPmidwest]

hey i really like it, i noticed it because of the song in the new movie "The Soloist"...good movie coming this spring check it out...and very very good playing.

[wholtone]

Very nice tone.

[Mithlachien]

Wow. You know, as a very popular piece it's natural that I heard sooo many variations, but to tell you the truth - and take it as a compliment - yours is one of the best performances I've ever seen. You matched this really nice playing with the colors of your personality. Amazing!

[cellojourney]

Thank you.

[mafeezez]

wow you are amazing!!! you play with such passion!!! very euphoric!! you look almost elated!! you really inspired me to want to learn how to play the chello!! it has such a wonderful tone......i still have goosebumps... Love, Evelyn B.

[mireyamireyamireya]

It's very beautiful.

[JODA21N]

VERY GOOD

[colourmebroken]

i love this your playing, it reminds me of my FAVORITE movie ever!!! the curious case of benjamin button. i dance ballet to all your songs. your music inspires me. please, dont ever give up. and keep going.

[deathwish98]

That's my b-day!

[MileyCyrus700]

march 27 is my b-day as wel!

[cellojourney]

I like that one too.

[theamazingbear]

hmm, my favourite of all his music on cello is the courante from the 3rd suite. Such a nice piece to play as well as listen to lol.

[hunterjumper938]

that was great, my orchestra director had me play that for a state competition, i didn't sound half as good. i love bach..

[TheOboeMaster]

Ah...the prelude to Bach's cello suite no.1...my favorite

[cattiestmist]

cello bach

[pureLproductions]

oh my, you make it look so easy and yet Its quite the opposite, I love the cello simply because the deep noise it creates and yet it can fully express ones emotions

[cellojourney]

Thanks. I agree with you about the cello.

[uglygirlidk101]

wow he does i the best :P

[Valdigard]

cool stuff

[funkeemonkee96]

i play the cello and i wish to someday be as good as u r.

[BIgGuidojoe]

the only thing i have to say is at the begining let the open G ring out it makes the chord sound better

[enemoj]

awesome

[Andimia55]

This guy makes it look so easy

[prizzy24]

i love this

ive always wanted to know who ever played this musical

youre really awsome

and a great player of cello

[Nemesis3111]

amazing!

I would love to be able to play like that

[hawkm7]

Thank you very much for this I have been looking for this song for a long time. I heard you say it was Bach but what's the name of the song? I would love to know, thanks again.

[Defbdg]

Prelude from Bach's Cello Suite No. 1

[hawkm7]

Thanks

[twizlersfReAk12]

i want to play a chello i want one soooooooooo bad hes good really good

[darkangel8989]

its a lot harder than u think lol

[Enix5548]

I think the only con of jian wang's playing is that sometimes it is a little heavy, not much though. Compared to Yo Yo Ma, it is a lot better because it is not super light and the tempo isn't as liberal. Check out Jian Wang's dvorak and elgar concertos on youtube.

[Enix5548]

I love how you start the prelude. That g string sounds really good. Did you ever hear Jian Wang play this prelude? I like his interpretation the best I think.

[perriok123]

i love this song sooooooo much and you play it so great!!!!!thank you soooo much for sharing!!!

[mickers1]

I like it, how long have you been playing?

[germanmastermind]

I play cello, and i am a beginner i am learning this piece, do you have any bowing tips???

[jessicaswendson]

He plays the cello beautifully! It brought tears to my eyes

[lotringsfreek]

does anyone konw if this song was in the movie 'master and commander' with russel crowe?

[cellojourney]

I think it was.

[Enix5548]

I think the only con of jian wang's playing is that sometimes it is a little heavy, not much though. Compared to Yo Yo Ma, it is a lot better because it is not super light and the tempo isn't as liberal. Check out Jian Wang's dvorak and elgar concertos on youtube.

[klebian]

Bach's suite for unaccompanied cello #1

[Bry4n]

what is the name of this song i like it

[WoundedEgo]

Wonderful. Thanks.

[kkk963]

thats was really well done.

[larsonX]

wow :D thats was really good

im playing this song for a solo at school, and i found its easier when u memorize it and play it the way you think it should be.

my teacher bought me an arrangement of the piece and i hate it... the slurs and dynamics dont make sense.

music shouldn't have rules/regulations, only guide-lines

[FockerTheLopper]

I disagree with you're last statement in regaurd to classical/symphonic music, but otherwise your completely right

[sewmeastory]

I LOVE this song!!!

[Moonlight9797]

that was really good, i love that soung and you did it very well!

[halfemptyfull]

awesome! my kids loved seeing you play!

[308longshot]

BRAVO

[enuffnrg42]

WOW!! ur awesome!!!im totaly not at ur level yet but ill try to get at it!!

[andrebrait]

Except from Mstislav, you're the first cellist that played this piece and I liked the way you did it. Thank you.

[rachieroo100]

Wow! I love this piece, I'd love to play it, but it's way out of my league at the moment! I hope to be as good as you one day.

[cellojourney]

Thanks.  Have fun playing the cello.

[Itsumopuppy]

Oh I love this song, it is very popular.

[Jerimiah2911]

That was beautiful. You managed to bring a lot of emotion without changing the tempo! Bravo!

[psypt]

Very nice video !

[JUDOODUJ]

great a cello journey

[Molcata]

CAn this be played on a violin?!

[chubbilove4444]

aaahh!!!

i love it!!!!!!!

^^

[ButterflyMom777]

This is my all-time musical piece. I actually went through many of your videos to see if you would play this. Lo and behold, it was your first one! What a gift the Lord has bestowed upon you. May His face been seen through your music.

Blessings to you,

ButterflyMom

[lalobaloo]

I love how you define the notes in the peice. I'm close to perfecting it myself, and hearing this really inspires me.

Another thing I love with this peice is everybody has their own bowings and it's really neat to hear how people make use of their own preferences. Sounds great!

[libbie1982]

oh my goodness. how beautiful is that. how long have you been playing? i started when i was 10, up till 15. then srted again 6 months ago. i hope to be as good as you one day.

[marianaro50]

beatifull, thanks!, bellisimo gracias!

[luvcdnbvr]

Just beautiful, thank you!

[porlagranputa100]

realmente ese instrumento suena celestial

[Ken2234]

o man your really making me sad when you play this, I was playing cello since I was in the 3rd grade and after high school I stopped but I was a very good player, almost finished the whole book of the suites. Now I'm sad I should go buy a new cello so i can start back up :)

[cellojourney]

Great that you used to play. Hopefully you will be able to start up again.

[evolkram]

tears to my eyes also... just beautiful

[plugges25]

i love chello music and you are great. play more

[stereoballs]

[MizIesha04]

That was so beautiful! I play cello too and I'm not that good but I'm getting better. But anyways, That was wonderful! =)

[darkbollo]

I really enjoy that =)

[Staal75]

good stuff thanks :)

[virtulosity]

that was beautifull. thank you :)

[yeahbyme]

I love your Cello Journeys. Thank you so much.

[Kaltea]

Man I wish I could learn cello. Or at least meet someone competent at the instrument.

Great performance.

[bernadetamaria]

Die Musik von Bach im vergleich mit Chopin ist wundervoll..

Einfch klasse!

[jesuisravi]

I have been playing that prelude on the guitar for about 25 years.I have played it every day for maybe the last 8 years.I don't think I have ever gotten through it without some false move or other.This player doesn't have that problem.

[Mayorsquad]

Amazing. wow. great work..just minor issues..but GREAT work. :)

[sunnygirl221]

Beautiful. Well done. I played this in the 8th grade. I loved it soo much. It was my first solo.

[aurelio8810]

Beautiful!!!I love this piece of music.if only i could play this song!But i already play the piano an the guitare.Maybe one day.

[Jangof3tt]

Ah yes, Bach's Prelude to his first cello Suite. Excellent song and excellently performed. I play the cello as well, and I must say it was quite well. Keep up the good work.

[misslaurak]

beautiful performance! thanks for uploading these delightful videos!

[MvProductions09]

I've been playing for 3 years now!I hope I get to be like you!!! bravo!!

[GibSon1210120]

Amazing Sir absolutely wonderful

[maartjechiel]

this is the prulude (part one) from the first cello suite from bach.

I played this when i was 15 years end hearing this brings me back to the good old days:P

[krystalMNB]

amazing!

[luciarg87]

what is this piece called?

[trecoolfreakozoid]

wow I've been playing cello for 5 years and I am still figuring out all the different techniques... :( Oh well. This is really nice. :)

[Spasisten]

love the cello suite in G major prelude... (im learning it in bass.. heh) nice

[SimplyLatino]

finally someone who makes me feel the art, and not music

[lollermachine]

I love that piece. A guy from the game Hitman: Blood Money plays it.

[AlEsLoKiNhA]

I'm new play chello 12 years please send one e-mail tanks!

PS: I don´t speak inglish i speak spanish and portugues and gallego, but inglish no..haha

[DhinCardoso]

Perfect... videos like this one make me fell more inspired to learn cello.. good job man

[abused]

In sixth grade I loved to play like the first page of that. It's a beautiful peice, and you can pull it off. Great job.

[kikemarsino]

it's a good job, but i think that you can do better, whit more fellings! xiao!

[smallville15freak]

that sounds fricken awsome!!!

[TheTradge]

I think that the dynamic contrast could be a little better, I didn't feel excited while listening, and there's certain partys tjhat you could possibly pull back a little.

[jesuslvsuforever19]

This was the first major song that I rememorized and played in front of a audience. The first time I actually had a concert was when I was a junior (grad. in 2005) and I played it rememorized...amazing. I'm always looking for different technique of how to play it.

[magicyolol]

he plays to faster....

[eeeeeo]

As a baroque piece, you shouldn't change the speed at the end, also at the end with the cromatique scale, don't press harder to play lowder play with more bow to creat more sound, but everything everything else is great :)

[celloboy81]

There are many ways to play Bach and its impossible to know how they played it in the Baroque. Even if we did, does that mean we should play it the way they did? We know that the Baroque instruments were different hence your comment about creating more sound via bow pressure...but maybe Bach would have wanted us to take advantage of the qualities of our modern instruments if he was still alive? Regardless, you can't say what is the right or wrong way to play this.

[xaviercastella]

GREAT MUSIC. CONGRATULATIONS! KEEP UP. GREETINGS...

[Cellolover09]

I'm learning to play this right now on my cello. I only wish I could play it like you do. All in good time I suppose. Practice measure 31 to end, (I know the music well) until you get it down pact. Thats about the only part of the song I can play well and if you could nail it, your preformance would be to die for. (Course all of the Suites are.)

[Pinnimini]

Really great job sir...u are awesome!!
