Spanish Romance for CELLO solo. Georg Mertens from CD "Cello Solos"

[1mountainguy]

Mister Georg - wow! so very inspiring to watch you play - and Thank You so very much for you great big long 26 page article on bowing etc. Haven't gotten through it yet but reading it in bed. I just started cello at almost 53 years old and so sad I didn't begin 40 years ago!!!! I am hopeful of getting better music out of my lower two string with the help of your article! Have only had three lessons since I got the cello, but enjoying playing simple hymns already like Ode to Joy

Better than my attempt - great!

this is great! although it seems as if all life is being sucked from Georg Mertens.....just watch his face.....0.o...i know he's concentrating.....but its still scary

@AlexandratheBAMF

You captured it quite right! Usually this place - a silent cave - is peaceful and darkish, my favourite performance place. Although I am grateful to the video man, who introduced me on that day to Youtube, he brought this one strong light, straight in my face, and I couldn't find inner peace, especially in the beginning. Cheers G.

the cello gives to the song a melancoly sound that sticks in your heart. but i gotta say that the guitar gives to the song something else, it gives to the piece the energy to GET into your heart.

Hey I've just uploaded my first 2 original songs and would love to hear what you think of them. I wrote them with the idea of having a violin/cello in the background so if you can think of anything that would sound good with them id love to hear what you have to say!! Maybe we could collaborate via internet! Anyway check them out and let me know what you think :)

Cheers,

Amber x

wow ... this is my 1st time heard this song on cello .. its .. so .. melancholy .. and all the emotion .. *speechless*

[ZoRRo1323]

this romance for guitar!not for cello!!!))but it was great work!Bravo!

[Duskaholism]

@ZoRRo1323

no, specifically this one is FOR cello.

the original is obviously for guitar.

but this one is FOR cello.

like when you say, "romance" for cello and piano

or "romance" for electric guitar

or "romance" for flute.

[xtinaee17]

beautiful, I've never heard it before on a cello. wonderful. i could really see the emotion.

greatt job:)

[homer5500]

that note at 2:05 is the "B" right below middle "c" that sounded way to low

[tom44c]

oh dear.

[AquaticCheese]

no, actually that's a C2, which is two whole octaves below middle C... a B right below middle C is actually on the A string :P

[0unhallowed0]

yours is really good. but i like the guitar a bit better lol yours draws out the somber darker voice to kiss our emotions its easy to fall in love with but the guitar holds my soul

[1Yasi]

Wow, very nice! :)

I play it on guitar, but your version is EXTREMELY better!

You can really feel and hear the full emotion of the song on the cello!

Congratulations, it's very amazing!

[Babejuda]

First time I hear it on cello. Amazing!

[februarrrrr]

Excellent idea. And performance as well. Seems like you uncovered the famous son anew. Thank you.
