  • I'm not familiar with the Ligeti piece, so I can't say if it was good or not, but I love watching Joshua Roman play.

  • very cool! from 2:57 you improvise alot on the theme of of ligeti cello sonata right? it's pretty cool, well done man!

  • honestly joshua roman isn't doing anything incredibly exciting with his cello.... don't get me wrong, the ligeti sonata is hard, but the improvisation at the beginning wasn't that great, honestly only exploring some really really obvious licks that any cellist with half an ounce of brains has already figured out.... as an improvisor he's nothing special

    the 2nd mvt of the Ligeti is impressive though..... but then it always is any time it's actually up to tempo....

  • Joshua Roman = amazing talent. Too bad he's not playing with another musician.

  • It's called a "Jam Session". The spontaneity of it all makes it what it is. Music isn't only rhythm and melody. It's infinite along with the great melodies of the world.

  • 4:07-4:49 great balance, traveled into my hair follicles. At 4:50 some low stray blast paralyzed my mitral valve, luckily the repeat shocked it back to action seconds later :) ..... guys, U rock!

  • I think that the celloist used the cello to imitate the sound of an electronic guitar.

    the feeling was quite similar, it's a trial, nothing good or bad.

    chloelovescats 2 years ago

  • If you want to see the cello being used in a similar way to the electric guitar, just punch 'Apocalyptica' into the search, they go MUCH further with distortion than this guy does.

  • a cello player=a cellist.

  • I see why you could say that about the first 6 minutes, but the Ligeti sonata IS real classical music.

  • Mason is it the dj mason-exceeder ??

    Djmaddoomandfreestyl 2 years ago

  • Absolute. Pure. Unadulterated. Talent. That was amazing. I can't even express in words just how captivating that was. I was going through my subscriptions and only planned on watching the first few minutes. After that, I was hooked, and watched the entire piece. That was. Phenominal. Such talent, such poise, such.. such control. I am speechless. I absolutely loved this. =)

  • Brilliant. Anyone who disregards classical music for not being modern can go and wallow in their hypocritical mind. No offense...
