  • I wish I could play the cello like this I'm only grade 5

  • @MrDINGODOG24 Keep practising! You have a long way to go!

  • Not bad for a Russki..

  • uhh, I looked back on the comments and there was some arguing about America and stuff. Lets just comment about how godly Rostropovich is

  • all you people that are talking about political stuff should make your own dumb radio station to talk about it not pick an awsome haydn concerto to talk about it its music it doesnt have nationalistic boundries nor should it so just shut it and comment on the concerto not on some stupid political issue.

  • Fantastic!

  • yeah americans are just fat and stupid! all of them!

  • @swingdancinglolz how is that relevant to this video

  • beautiful

    

  • Performance- Spectacular

    Audio Quality- Horrid

  • car ride then in a plane, but you don't see everyone flying around in planes (disregarding the expenses of the plane fair, which in some cases might be cheaper than by car) but the point is, every country has its arrogants, every country has its greats. Im not American but you gotta give em credit, they have only been a country for 250 years-ish, and im pretty sure you cant say they are weak. But every country has its positives and negatives.

  • This is the answer to all the country feuds that i have seen online.... Here it goes. Every country has had its bad times and every country has had its good times. One nation has never been or will be "supieror" or better than another nation. The only thing that people can truely go off of are statistics. So what if America or England or Russia is at the top in stats. To honestly live your life and form opinions on a mere statistical basis, imo is the naive one. You are more likely to die in a

  • with the fincinal melt down it looks like eastern Europe will go communist, Germany will turn facist and china will control the world with puppet goverments

  • well with the economic melt down it looks like china will start their long awated war for world domination and sadly no one can stop them

  • usa is a big, rich and powerful nation. but it is not everyone's promised land. and you american did many terrible things. just don't make us hate you more.

    ok, peace. a haydn video has nothing to do with these nonsense things

    sorry everybody~

  • Look, sorry folks, but you started saying Americans were stupid for no reason. How can you even begin to generalize 300,000,000 people? It's flat out ridiculous!

    Come to America one day, there's a lot to see.

  • @ndna88 - >:(

    You misunderstood. I love Europe, seriously. I don't think I'm superior to anybody, but some imbeciles decided to be jerks about Americans, like it has anything to do with the video. I said "obliterate" to point out that the US is the most powerful nation in de world.

    Hey, how many Americans have you even met? In Europe, people are very different, but same with America. Think of how huge America is (land size), people are completely different from different parts of America.

  • @KodierungHerz - I'm not saying we're better than anyone else, I'm saying we accomplished many things and have been #1 military wise. I got a little mad, because I hate those snotty losers who say Americans are stupid.

    @mikajlo8 - Where are you from? I guarantee you there are just as many idiots there; I know there is at least you. Wherever you are, the US could obliterate you if it wanted.

    Music from America: Copland, Barber, Ives, Glass, Bernstein were all brilliant composers.

  • @2natw i hate to say this on a haydn video, but stfu you arrogant amerian. you idiot really think you are superior to us? obliterate us? try that warpigs

  • Who is the leader?USA, hahahahahah. Americans are one of the most ignorant, fat people in the world. They are so stupid and shame. J hate them, because they like to make influence all over the world. This music is from Europe, not from America. You have only non-sense rap music. Music is for listening NOT for looking.

  • this is the problem with the world. too many people criticize each other when there is no need for it. im an american and im proud to be one just like any of you would say your proud to be a citizen of your country. the united states believes in freedom and unity thats why you might think we are trying to influence the world. we try to help many other countries to form a more perfect union for he whole world just like many other countries all over the world.so why try to make enemies about it?

  • @mikajlo81 why argue about who contributed to musical expression when music is a universal language. you just call america weak but how does america efffect you personally? what bad has it done to you?

  • Who is the leader?USA, hahahahahah. Americans are one of the most ignorant, fat people in the world. Theq are so stupid and shame. J hate them, because they like to make influence all ovre the world. This music is from Europe, not from America. You have only non-sense rap music. Music is for listening NOT for looking.

  • @piontro - What's your problem? People in the US are ignorant? Yeah, that's why we've been the leaders for the past 100 years.

  • @2natw you know, the other guy is an idiot... but that comment of yours is quite stupid, dude. Just saying... peace!

  • fantástico

  • Son of Rostrop, the term Vich means son of, for those ignorant s from the USA, who know only about Britney Spears the whore and alike.

  • @piontro yeah, but that is his last name, his family name, how is that his family name is like a patronymic?

  • Maestro Ozawa! 

  • I'm such a sucker for strings...

  • the cadenza at the end made me tear. I felt like the universe just opened it self to me for a breif second and allowed me to see the meaning of music along with life itself.

  • For those of you who don't know, the cello is the Duport Stradivarius 1711

  • @xbasket12x (valued at $20,000,000!)

  • what concert number for cello is this? which movement?

  • @deufit C Major 2nd movement

  • oh i do say! cheerio cheerio! twalala twalala, one has never heard such moving contessas

  • This was great listening. I could feel quite some emotion in the master's playing. ^^

  • Haydn = Godly

  • @dvg1985 Quite right. Sometimes I feel that Mozart's music is divinely human, but Haydn comes direct from Above.

  • @BuckshotLaFunke .

    I have always felt the very same :)) So nice reading it still!

  • Nothing comes out of his cello before receiving his express permission to leave. That man is incredible.

  • Quite strange to see such a young Cecilia Arzewski in the violin section!

  • I'm a strong supporter of our second amendment, have a lifetime membership with NRA. I'm also a long time subscriber, however, I felt that this video was biased, since most of your subscribers, including myself, are pro-guns and knives. I hope that you don't take your subscribers as fools who are totally obvlious of the reality. With that said, I wonder if you were any more disapproving of Bush, going to war with IRAQ, accusing them of possessing WMD, and practically burning

  • @mukatsukuful

    Question, how'd the comments of this video digress into political debate?

  • @DTGeek155 I don't know, maybe at time of posting the comment, I was a little tipsy?

  • I'm a strong supporter of our second amendment, and hold a lifetime

    membership with NRA. I'm also a long time subscriber, however, I felt that this video was biased, since most of your subscribers, including myself, are pro-guns and knives. I hope that you don't take

  • Ozawa Rocks

  • Comments like the thread responded to by cwcascales are what turns me off from watching this YT vid. Creator should delete such a comment. I'll look for this music by someone else where the page concentrates on the music, not politics. I do agree with cwcascales, but this is not the forum. annthraxthrash should delete such comments or risk others being turned offf from viewing this vid.

  • Ozawa in his younger days... :)

  • what is the actual title of this piece?

  • 0:37 looooooool turkey

  • i think that my heart just exploded. my god the cadenza at the end was just so moving and perfectly suited. Rostropovich I am in love with you.

  • As for all the comments regarding the cadenza, I think it's actually quite suitable. A cadenza should be focused mainly on the theme of the piece, but still allow the performer some freedom to give creative, and nowadays, modern insight. Rostropovich has done a wonderful job of maintaining Haydn's ideas, while adding a few of his own. It keeps us on our toes, and shows us that, yes, it is the 21st century (in this recordings case the 20th).

  • Nice playing, but as the movement is rather drab, I was more caught up with looking at the hairstyles of that era! Nice to see the Yorkshire Ripper in the audience at 1.05 and MrT playing at 1.16

  • @pitbull2005 Not to mention Ivor Cutler on cello.

  • It's the best sound of the Philharmonic

  • GREAT!

  • who is the conductor?

  • Seiji Ozawa

  • Oh wow he used to have black hair :O

  • Solar Jakee,

    I was just wondering if you were still thinking about what I said to you about the Rostropovitch cadenza in my PM to you? You did seem to have some very strong views on the subject at the time so I did expect a response from you?

    But never mind if you have no other thoughts on it after all.

  • i find it very wonderful how Rostropovich can go into higher positions and still sound so graceful. many times, when i've heard others try to shift as high as he can, it sort of sounds like a dying animal. kudos to him.

  • @drumstix444 haha i know right?! omg i tried playing this just for fun, and i feel ashamed everytime i shift XD

  • This cadenza is very poor. It is supposed to comment on and perhaps further develop the thematic material but it fails on all counts. The chromatic passages are totally out of character historically speaking and are totally unrelated to any themes in the concerto. And of course played with no real "feel" a cadenza should have. It sounds very practised rather than improvised as a cadenza quite definitely should.

  • Can we hear your version if you're such a 'professional'?

  • I'm giving my opinion. So why don't you comment on what I'm saying?

  • By the way, most cadenzas (these days, at least) are not improvised. Though performers often give them an improvised 'feel'.

  • On aime bien rostro mais quand il se plante, il faut le dire

  • I don't have a problem with you making a criticism as such; more with the arrogant, 'high and mighty' way in which you express it. And since you clearly have a much more thorough grasp on the art of the cadenza than Maestro Rostropovich, I merely ask to hear how it SHOULD be played.

    There's a difference between saying "I dislike this cadenza" and "this cadenza is very poor... And of course played with no real 'feel' a cadenza should have".

  • there is something wrong with you. go away

  • and you have the intellect of a masturbating monkey! lol

  • Haven't I already refuted all the shit you've said about composers when you said the same exact thing about Chopin? Get a life.

  • gourmet de la fingers!

  • wow, look at the fingering at 3:40 to 5:55 and perfect intonation! :)

  • please could you tell me where I can get this cadenza, this one ?

  • It's by Benjamin Britten (you may have known that) but I don't know if it's published anymore. I have a photo copy of a photo copy of a photo copy...

  • Lovely performance!

  • what kind of endpin is that ?

  • A "bent" endpin, or sometimes called a Russian endpin.

  • The official name for it is a "Stahlhammer" if you were wondering

  • A tortelier endpin

  • It was a great shame for former Soviet Union, that great Russians like Rostropovich had to leave their land because of politics...

  • A most enjoyable video with the great Rostropovich. TY!

  • i love the glasses

  • Oh, yes. We all envy the glasses:)

  • I am fan of this Maestro. What's his name ?

  • Seiji Ozawa.... he was with Boston for ages... you can look him up easily enuf.

  • love this!!

  • Thanks for sharing!

  • did i just see a cape on mstislavs cello?

  • whats the point of one? is it somewhat like a shoulder rest for a violin and viola?

  • i don't use one but i think it's to protect the varnish and wood on a cello from abrasive clothes/buttons, and things

  • @cellomama92 It's to keep the buttons on his shirt from buzzing on this cello.

  • @cellomama92 The cape in the cello is because it's "The Supercello"

  • @raulishnikov Also know as the 1711 Duport Stradivarius! One of the greatest cello ever built by the great master himself...

  • @cellomama92

    its so the buttons on his shirt dont raddle agains the cello i think

    :)

  • @JucyBsBs That's correct.

  • ohh! where can I get this cadenza ??! just beautiful!

  • Unforgettable sound and commitment.

  • He will be missed. He will be missed in his home country and all across the world.

  • I'm not a string player, I'm a trumpeter, and I read in a biography of yo yo ma's life, that usually the majority of great cellist or other string players start at 4 years of age or younger, is this true and if so is it that hard to master the playing technique and repertoire?

  • U said it that's the majority but in majorities always exist exeptions ;) (I'm a pianist)

  • It's usually very true.

  • Well at least this music is much more better than today's shit genre of music known as hip hop (especially gangsta rap).

  • Ur right but that doesnt giv u a reazon 2 insult

  • Yeah man, rap is shit.

  • It's a personal taste. I absolutely love both classical music as Hip Hop.

    Stating your opinion as you did Chuvak is derogatory and quite distasteful. Or in your use of language.. crappy/shitty.

  • Rostropovich was a master!, I saw him in Vienna in 2000.. amazing performance.

  • muy buena musica me encanta este instrumento es muy dulce

  • You are an idiot.

  • Stating that without even the slightest hint of argumentation seems a little like pointing a shotgun towards yourself during your bankrobbery...

  • What happened to the first movement?

  • Lets see you do better Chainstoking.

  • Yo Yo Ma listens to Rostropovich. Its no wonder why; Rostropovich is an amazing master musician! All cellists should sit back and take notes as they are privileged to see (and hear) this master in action.

  • Except for the fact that they're both white, old, and have Montgomery Burns' hair, there really is no resemblance. Cheney is always bloated-looking and is constantly grimacing as though he's constipated all of the time.

  • They don't look at all alike to me.

  • Rostropovich was a creator and a genius. Cheney is a killer and a destroyer.

    Their names should not even be placed within a million miles of one another.

    Put Dick Cheney in jail where he belongs- maybe leave him marooned at his favorite tropical location- Guantanamo Bay.

  • Yeah, you're totally right. My good judgment was just momentarily overwhelmed by the striking physical resemblance. It would've been better left unsaid.

  • They have something in common: they were both made in the image of God, as outrageous this affirmation may sound when referring to Cheney. But this is the mystery of theodicy.

    Any apparent physical resemblance is certainly misleading: Rostropovich was a decent and compassionate man while the other seems an impersonation of the devil. Leaving him marooned at Guantanamo seems to me like a very sensible idea :-).

  • what does cheyney have to do with anything?

  • Karl Davidov was the finest cellist ever!

  • This is fantastic!

    Which concerto is this?

  • Zseniális!

  • Excelent music. Haydn is one of my favorites.

  • Las cinco estrellitas de calificación no alcanzan!!

  • Really beautiful, I must say I started listening to classical music (mostly from the baroque and classical periods) only a few months back, so my knowledge isn't that extensive. However, there's such a simple elegance to Haydn's pieces that I really admire.

  • That cello player is really talented. Well all of them are of course, but he really impressed me.

  • i should certainly think so!

  • i like how he looks so serene while playing very hard sections

  • He rostropovich the greatest cello player who ever lived!

  • haha, i like his bow-tie

    but other than that, that was beautiful..

  • Haydn *.*

  • Haha, I love how every conductors hair is so different from normal haircuts so too speak! another great thing about music lol :)

  • I think his hairstyle is due to a lack of a haircut. . .

  • didn't they play the first movement that day ?

  • Awesome!

  • Love it, love it, love it

  • jacqueline du pre is better

  • I think Rostropovich is better, but I think they tie as two of the greatest cellists of all time.

  • Yes, that´s true..rostropovich is great as well, but jacque more inspire me:)

  • Strong words, you don´t like me!:))))

  • i don't think haydn would be that pedantic.

  • Really? Who where they composed by then? How do you know this?

  • i'm preparing to play this piece and my private teacher told me...i forget the guy's name

  • lmao this makes me laugh. If thats what your private teacher told you then he/she is not very smart, and I hope thats not what they said. They probably said that this version wasnt the original, because the rostropovich added change a bunch of stuff. The cadenzas that are in alot of arrangements are written by Rostropovich.

  • at least i don't pretend to be an expert on culture

    ...but thanks for educating me

  • I've heard that there has been debate about the authenticity of both concertos, it is generally believed that he is the actual composer of both.

  • yeah, who wrote them?

  • I asked about this----the concertos are only loosely based on Hayden's work.

  • Mozart really had some Haydn influences. This is a nice haydn piece

  • yeah that sound beautiful!!!

    it is a really harmonic piece but he like aver do things like come in and say the longest hi! ever !and his face is to much drama!

  • wow...he just made up the last two lines...hahaha

  • 有层次感

  • hah we had to study this in music

    it is nice, isnt it =)

  • My goodness. I don't know anything about music. I am in tears listening to this. It is so beautiful.

    How do I learn more? How do I hear more?

  • haha, just start practicing, you can really enjoy and cry with that,

    just start playing :D

  • I totally agree with you. Isn't it like the most beautifull piece EVER and Slave was just beyond expertise!

  • quite enjoyed this very beautiful piece i

    was listening ..♥

  • ne mogu da werujem nashta sam spala. swoje diwno wreme na internetu troshim da bih uradila domatji iz muzichkog koji wishe zwuchi ako deset bozhjih zapowesti i prinudjena sam da swakog dana slusham owako neshto i opisujem dinamiq, tempo, owo ono. Strashno.

  • is this Joseph Haydn's work? Or is it his brother Micheal Haydn?

  • scratch that.

    And why didnt they start with the 2nd movement?

  • i love this concerto. Wasn't Haydn a cellist himself ?
