  • amazing

  • Bach's music echoes through eternity. 

  • To my ear Yo-Yo Ma is not even close to Rostropovich. Playing well has a lot to do with beautiful soul and the beauty of soul is achieved by a bit of suffering for Truth. Rostropovich is inspiring, because he sacrificed everything, his career, all the good life he had in the Soviet Union for Truth. It takes a big person to do this.

  • Wow. Almost as beautiful as Justin bieber.

  • @FacelessPredator I hope you're just being facetious.

  • @FacelessPredator can you not

  • @FacelessPredator hahahaha it is a joke....right?...... RIGHT? O.o

  • il canto dell'anima

  • he plays perfect...

    nothing more to say.

  • this is so beautiful.

  • There is absolutely no doubt whatsever, Mstislav Rostropovich is the greatest Cello player of all time!!!!! Even amongst the vast majority of professional as well as the best Cello players of today, they mostly agree right across the board that Rostropovich is the greatest cello player & soloist in the history of all time.

  • It is real art

  • How could anyone NOT get Bach? He speaks directly to the heart. Well, yeah, I'm sure there are some, baffling to me as that might be.

  • Hard to imagine any instrument more beautiful and relaxiing as the cello ... and most definately harder to imagine anybody playing it better than this man ... utterly magical. Makes you think the human race definately has some purpose other then the usual bullshit. This truly is as close at it gets to perfect.

  • Listening to this is like living your life and as you die you remember all of the good and the bad in it and with bittersweet acceptance slowly fade away.

  • Fuck the low fidelity of audio in this clip - imagination will do the rest

  • My ass can play better than this old fart.

  • @SELFlnsurance Take a cello bow and shove it up your ass. Rostropovich had more talent in the tip of his index finger than you would ever have in a thousand lifetimes.

  • @cellomad1 Here we have a saying : "he has a workbook stuck in his ass". Srsly he pick the wrong orientation test. He should have been an accounting.

  • @SELFlnsurance Oh, you're a French frog. That explains everything. Well, there are two types of people in this world: those who have taste, and the French.

  • @cellomad1 i am sure that you said that ridiculous racist thing just to make me feel bad, and that you didn't really think it. Does rostropovitch have so few qualities that can be defended by you that you need to use the country/mom/penis insults to prove me wrong?

    WHY is Rostropovie so talked about, WHAT justifies his fame. And i want another answer than "because he is the most famous cellopimp, he is very respected and therefore i respect him and love him too".

  • @SELFlnsurance First, explain to me how my comment is racist. I didn't make any mom or penis insults, either. I just made a little jab at your country, and yes, it was in jest.

    Rostropovich is renowned for his incredible technique and interpretation of various works, especially those of Bach. He also wrote many of his own works, more than any cellist before or since. If you don't like his style of playing, well, there's probably nothing I can say to change your mind. It's your problem.

  • @SELFlnsurance By the way, your English is very good. However, in your earlier comment, you should have used accountant instead of accounting.

    Moi, je parle français, mais pas beaucoup.

  • @cellomad1 arh google trad' said that the french "comptable" was the english "accounting". I found that strange, but.. eh.. i went for it. "Accountant"! yes that makes more sense. Google trad must have thought i meant "comptable" as an adjective

    I speak good english because i have 2 nationalities, american and french

    And for the whole Rostropovitch polemics, i didn't mean what i said. I was just angry about something and i wanted to start an argument to relieve myself

    Cheers to the Rostro!

  • First of all ... if u think Lil Wayne is good rap ur damn retarded.... there are better rappers .. Lil Wayne can only say words into a fucking autotune mic. No talent. And lastly all music is good it just depends who u are and at certin times this music is appropriate... you're not going to play rap at your parents funeral or at your wedding.... if you do I feel sorry

  • belleza pura. Que bello instrumento

  • I can't believe that someone would even compare Bach with a Lowlife scumbag such as that nigger little Wayne.

    And when I say nigger I mean

    Disgraceful punk. They are in every race.

  • @Obesedragons it's all Nigger Technologies anyway, huh?

  • listen to my bach i hope you ll enjoy it

  • You either get Bach or you don't, but if you do there is no music more satisfying.

  • @Imeuph1 Not even Vivaldi?

  • @Imeuph1 Truth! J.S. Bach is the Supreme Being of music!

  • Fuck Yeah! A los metaleros tambien nos gusta la buena musica clasica!

  • BACH é supreeeeeeeeeeeeemo!!! O Brasil ama Bach!!!

  • I found this channel a while back and find the music very soothing. Again thks for sharing.

  • heres an idea -think about you dont have any music for a day ,2 weeks ,one month OR for one whole year! -would you appreciate this then?

  • O.M.G. such a beautiful sound out of his Cello. I thought Yo-Yo Ma had it all but not all...

  • @JazzMaster43 Yo-Yo Ma is just one of the cellists whom he inspired by his playing.

  • The best music is Gospel, and then blues on a Hammond organ. Then classical. That is just the way it is…these are the facts and they are undisputed.

  • @MrBiblethmpr

    I would dispute this. The blues on a Hammond organ? I prefer guitar blues myself. And I'm not a fan of Gospel at all. However, there is usually something from every genre that I do like, so that's all right.

  • @MrBiblethmpr These are not facts, they're your opinion. Everybody has different tastes. If you prefer gospel music, fine. Personally, I don't care for it. I find gospel to be superficial when compared to Bach's masses, which have far more depth and scope.

  • @cellomad1 Actually Bach fits into my first and favorite category, gospel, he was an organist who played and composed gospel music. Bach said, "Music's only purpose should be the glory of God and the recreation of the human spirit." Music was given to glorify God in heaven and to edify men and women on earth. It wasn't to make lots of money, or to feed the musician's ego, or to be famous. Music was about blessing the Lord and blessing others..

  • @MrBiblethmpr I never really thought of Bach's music as being in the gospel category. For me, Bach is in a category all by himself. I particularly love his Mass in B minor and St. Matthew Passion.

  • I am 39, have no classical training, raised on rock'n'roll - and find this to be one of the most amazing things I have ever seen.

  • i wan't cry

  • He is in command of the instrument. He is worthy to play Bach.

  • Speaking Mexican? That's like Obama speaking Austrian.

  • Real Classic ----- Real J.S.Bach

  • i don't speak Mexican. This sounds Beautiful. This is all i'm going to have in 1 month to remind my self...

  • @iamwannatoothpaste i hope speaking Mexican was a joke unless you are an american.

  • uau! isso é lindo , parabéns!

  • WOW

  • who wrote this music ???

  • @ilovehammy14 Johan Sebastian Bach

  • @TheBlackMetallien thank you so much :D

  • really amasing really amasing i shall encourage more people to listen to bach

  • it makes me cry - it's beautiful to me. i wish i could play like that

  • Evil minded people, things this is only a very slowly version but really it was by the influence of the great monster of cello Pau Casals that shows to his pupils Rostropovich;Dupre or Yoyo Ma to let run the emotions when they play specilly in any of the greatest compositions ever played as there are The Bach Suites or Sonatas.

  • Good Party Music

  • Beautiful. Great sound, great expression, great vibratto, GREAT SLAVA!!...but... too romantic.

  • @JorgeIvanVelezOrtiz Disagree....Baroque and Romantic music are aligned....each a protest to Renaissance and Classical Periods with their short phrases, controlled harmonies and regulations....

  • I know this may sound crazy but after a long stressfull day I came across this and found it to be very relaxing......... thks for posting this music.:]

  • @Argibon it is not crazy. good music makes good things happen

  • 2:12.

    Cellogasm.

  • Señor Rostropovich. Un maestro. Simplemente él y su esposa Galina fueron artistas que amaban a su país y querían mostrarles la belleza de su don: la música y el canto. Muy triste que el gobierno soviético les arruinara la vida.

  • aaaahhh hermosoo!! :3

  • 19 personas se van a matar

    

  • 19 people never heard what the cello is.

  • is there a slower version of this suite ?

  • This music is better than any rap, hip hop, drum n bass, country or any other type... This makes you "feel" music, in your heart and soul.

  • @MiseriesRequiem What you wrote is so limited. I've dedicated my life to music and Bach has alot to do with that. It annoys me when people speak in absolutes. That this music is more important that all others is a personal matter and has no meaning for a person who doesn't like this music or does not care much for music at all. "To feel" is personal and no one music is so great that it holds so much emotional content as to represent all possibilities of human emotions.

  • @MiseriesRequiem no kind of music is superior to any other...

  • @MiseriesRequiem

    hey man your so right people just aint get it just special people that have brain for music are know what is a real music

  • @MiseriesRequiem nah shut the fuck up lil wayne is better than bach

  • @MiseriesRequiem all good music makes you feel your own heart and soul. all good music is good music. good dubstep is good. good rap is good. and Bach is good. and Rostropovitch is good. amen.

  • Approximately 18 hopeless souls watched this video.

  • Heavy metal

  • why keep looking at the camera?

  • @17jiangm he's looking at his music

  • @17jiangm lol

  • The sound of beauty.

  • I'm wondering if there's any correlation between this guy's age and youtubers believing he's the best cellist around. Certainly something will turn up.

  • @redshark618  unfortunately Rostropovich died 4 years ago in 2007, however he is still widely acknowledged as being one the best cellists ever to have lived and also, the greatest of the second half of the 20th century. so really whatever the correlation he Is just THAT good.

  • He makes it look so incredibly effortless..

  • Perfect! Yo-yo-ma plays it too emotional/sentimental. Bach should be played like this.

  • una leve brisa de serenidad para los sentidos

  • Reality.

  • i like it nice job, im gunna be playing the cello soon too!!!!!!

  • @starterwannabee same! :)

  • Why is embedding disabled! Ah!

    Oh Bach, how you move me... and oh Rostropovich, how passionate your interpretations are!!

  • sencillamente exquisito! 

  • 18 people don't have ears.

  • Perfect maths!

    

  • I am convinced that there are people, probably mentally ill really, who simply "dislike" so as to show an alllegedly superiority to the rest of us tasteless bastards. It is very likely that they sit, alone and miserable, in their soiled underwear luxuriating in a fetid cloud of their own brilliance.

  • @W2n1dowsx I could not agree on you more.

  • @W2n1dowsx

    or ... they simply don't like the bad sound quality ... like me :P

  • @W2n1dowsx Its not a crime to not like something. While you may be right about some of them, I am certain that you are wrong about a few.

  • @W2n1dowsx bravo!

  • @W2n1dowsx Brilliant.

  • @W2n1dowsx

    Or maybe there are people, probably mentally ill, who write comments like this with the assumption that their musical taste is superior to all others. Did you ever consider that some people just don't like how this sounds, because they don't like Rostropovich's style, or they don't like the acoustics of the place, or they just don't like Bach or classical music altogether? Get over yourself.

  • Comment removed

  • @W2n1dowsx BRAVISSIMO !

  • @W2n1dowsx you sound like one of them lol chill its the internet

  • @W2n1dowsx Do you mean to say that you would approve of all music THEY like? Or were you just in the mood for an eloquent rant? One should not care a hoot who dislikes, if you like it, that is, and least of all approve a comment criticising the dislikers so it stays there for all to read. I find any kind of comment, laden with spelling errors, or eloquently written, about any clip, extremely irritating. DISLIKES: just ignore them.

  • @NovaScotiaChick Ah, shut up.

  • @NovaScotiaChick Actually, he made zero spelling mistakes, and only one grammatical error (allegedly, instead of alleged). Hardly 'laden' with spelling errors, I'd say.

  • @IAmMoparNut

    here's a spelling mistake, in the description: it's Vézelay, Yonne.... not Yvonne....

  • @W2n1dowsx

    Sometimes I'm tempted to dislike something just because someone tells me I'm not allowed to.

  • @Hikikomori013 It's like being told not to touch THAT BUTTON! You just have to, and deal with the fall out afterwards.

  • @W2n1dowsx hey man they like to dislike surely you can appreciate that lest your opinion be worth less than a pair of fetid dingoes kidneys, i say

  • @W2n1dowsx Hahahaha, spot on.

  • @W2n1dowsx Don't talk nonsense, it's you elevating yourself above the mentally ill that shows superiority and ignorance by you alone and you revile me with your lack of understanding, that you have to accuse only those who have a mental health problem of being capable of disliking something. Perhaps one day you will be sitting in your soiled underwear refelecting back on how arrogant you were back then.

  • @ilovyousob He's referring to people that disliked this video. dislike is heavily connotated with "sucks" or "untalented in any way shape or form." Judging by his diction he seems appalled that any human could possibly find work of this merit to be distasteful or lacking. I agree with his statement in this case, while I have disliked many videos myself. No matter what personal achievements you have made, it is universally arduous to play this specific song with the clarity of its performer.

  • @tunto20 I don't require an instructional exercise on what you think someone else is trying to convey, let me do the thinking for myself. What you think about his comment is of no interest to me, so there's really no demand to share it with me. On what basis someone choses to dislike something is really not your affair nor mine but to diminish them further with insults like his shows ignorance.

  • @ilovyousob There were no insults in my previous statement. And if you believe without doubt that i attempted to insult your intelligence, your self-esteem must be pretty low, or you simply have no other opinions to stand for. that was an insult. another insult would be mentioning that your level of dis-interest in the opinions of others delineates, in the most lucid manner, how truly unfit for social interaction you are. which also explains how you could casually dislike this video. dumb-ass =D

  • @tunto20 You don't even have a channel, you're a sad troll who hits, then runs away like the coward you are. 

  • @ilovyousob I don't have a channel because I have no useful input to enrich the minds of respectable youtubers, who don't dislike videos to feel good about themselves. and i didn't run away if i'm still here. dumb-ass =D

  • @tunto20 You talk utter nonsense and you're right, you have no useful input, you're just a troll. I didn't even dislike this video in the first place which makes your argument baffling.

  • @tunto20 Wow, your sentences are unecessarily short and your capitalization lacking with the start of new sentences. You are indeed of a high intelect, lol

  • @ilovyousob Also, short sentences are a tool most commonly used in diction from all types of literature. Short sentences attempt to mimic real speech. And the fact that you could only pick on my grammar, instead of content, is proof of your agreement with my words. BYAAAH!!!!!! Dumb-ass =D

  • @W2n1dowsx Well, for people who listen to crap like hip-hop or pop, we are the ones with mental disease, I don't know how old are you but as you see I'm not even an adult and I listen to this while doing my homework. If my classmates listened to this, I'd be considered as a goddamn weirdo cause they listen to pop, rap, techno etc. I listen to metal, classical, jazz, blues and such stuff, don't tell me I am not a weirdo for some people!

  • Spasiba!

  • wow, from that close you can see that the strings on his cello are like super high above the fingerboard, thats really pain in the ass for every cellist but he just doesnt give a damn.

  • Why 18 unlikes?

  • ... (no diré más)

  • 18 people had sex with me last night

  • @rweerakkody4565

    Sex is not a measure of success, because anyone can obtain it easily. As evidence, observe that even the poorest, smelly with few teeth, have children running rampant throughout their trailer.

  • @DEBROXDEBROX i was implying that 18 people disliked this musical art =))))

  • Love this piece 

  • knowing that this guy is going to die soon actually making me sad :(

  • @iamxy667 well sorry to break the news but.. he's already dead.. since 2007

  • @iamxy667 unfortunately Master Rostropovich passed away this April 27, 2007 =(

  • is it disrepectful to say he is cute in an old-man kind of way?? so talented!!

  • @pumpkin091 not disrespectful at all dear =)))

  • little fast for my liking, but great nonetheless

  • Comment removed

  • @tawnabawna ????

  • Weil mir die richtigen Worte fehlen......Danke Johannes Sebastian........

  • thank you for this performance

  • gunna be the most retarded person commenting but i cant help but think of chevy chase when i see this guy l=play

  • Comment removed

  • The video is phenominal, but whatup with the synchronization?

  • Imagine being in that room, the acoustics in there would be crazy amazing! Rostropovich has talent surpassing all realms of imagination. You can simply listen and feel his emotion searing through each measure. Its astonishing.

  • Gorgeous.

  • you can see the master contemplate the magnificence of his own playing.

  • i played this for someone and it sounded pretty much like this and they told me i was playing it wrong. they said it was supposed to be a dance. is it?

  • @say3you3wont No - original Spanish sarabandes are quick and lively dances, but they were transformed into much slower pieces like this in the baroque period, so you are completely correct in playing like Rostropovich!

  • I hope dearly and pray that this pure music will echo throughout eternity.

  • @DonGordeeto

    Nothing of true value is ever lost in the universe.

  • i love this sound... perfect!

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • His... endpin i think its called, is extended alot more than other cellists ive seen. Neone know why?

  • @cmiller8492 So he can help pick more papers at the park.

  • @0011486 ahhaah

  • @cmiller8492 Different cellists like their cellos to be at certain angles to make playing easier/sound different. So the fact that his endpin is long just means that he likes his cello at a large angle to his body-- it's a bit harder to reach notes like that, but it's better for him. It's also different for every cellist.

  • @cherishiskisa intresting. I thought it was based off your height not preference. Thanks :)

  • @cmiller8492 He has his endpin extended a lot more than other cellists you've seen because if the cello's more at a slant, it's easier to shift and vibrato on high notes, bow, and gives more control . At least for me. I myself play with my cello more at a slant. cherishhiskisa is also correct in saying that it depends on the cellist and what they're comfortable with.

  • I wish I could've met him... /:

  • @5t5table thats not a violin......lol

  • @5t5table lol fucking troll

  • @5t5table One, Its a cello. A whole different instrument. Two, this is a performance of a group of pieces of music called The Six Suites for Unaccompanied Cello. Unaccompanied means no other people. Solo. And three, what is with the negative attitude? If you don't like it, there's a button at the top of your screen meant to leave this page...

  • @5t5table It's a cello. And if you don't appreciate classical music(or understand it), you shouldn't comment on it and move on to your version of "music". And when you're ignorant, it's best to keep quiet so you won't look stupid.

  • @5t5table Trying to make an intelligent comment (that is, by your mindset), makes you look more mentally challenged (stupid).

  • Dude looks kinda like Dick Cheney lol

  • @PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD i wonder if his cello shot anyone in the face

  • this is my favorite part of the first suite to play. its got so much expression in it <3

  • Beautifull
