John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life" Heaven or Hell.
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
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.
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.
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".
oh how I hate haydn! His music is so boring. I HATE YOU FUCK YOU! FUCK THE CLASSICAL MUSIC! KILL YOUSELF YOU MOTHERFUCKING BASTARDS! HAYDNS MUSIC IS SIMPLE AND GAY, YOU ARE GAY! HE SUFFERED FROM TESTICULAR CANCER; YOU SUFFER FROM TESTICULAR CANCER: YOU ARE NAZIS!
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?

Because he doesn't vary his vibrato it sounds the same, with phrases not going anywhere. This is off/on vibrato and becomes tedious. Any body who disagrees give me one educated reason.
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.

Wow! It just struck me that this musical giant bore a striking resemblance to Dick Cheney -- even the facial expressions. I hope this unfortunate fact never dawned on Rostropovich. Sorry for weirding everybody out. :)
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.
You're right about Cheney being bloated looking. But, aside from that, I still see a lot of physical resemblance. Rostropovich grimaces a lot while he's playing, but it's not the kind of angry, arrogant grimace that Cheney has. I really didn't mean to imply that the two men are at all alike. Rostropovich is a truly great artist. Cheney is a walking character flaw.
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 :-).
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.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
If you knew something about music, you wouldn´t say she is better. It´s "OK" if she inspires more, but that´s only because she is a woman and moves too much. Just disgusting, totally opposite to Haydn.
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.

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 :-).

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

If you knew something about music, you wouldn´t say she is better. It´s "OK" if she inspires more, but that´s only because she is a woman and moves too much. Just disgusting, totally opposite to Haydn.

i'm preparing to play this piece and my private teacher told me...i forget the guy's name
Jedichickens703 3 years ago
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.

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.
