I know it's a cello. Duh. Elite string players often play elite instruments that have been given a name, often that of a famous previous owner, like the Vieuxtemps Guarneri violin. So I am wondering if Maisky plays such a cello.
Too fast, too fast for me. Pierde toda la emoción. No me gusta en absoluto. Suena a un montón de notas sin una coherencia... Qué manera de lastimar semejante obra. En fin, cada quien con sus gustos, pero no veo en la velocidad signo alguno de virtuosismo.
I like his interpretation of Gavotte I much more than that of Rostropovich, but I think Rostropovich did better on Gavotte II. Still, they are both amazing players, and this is an amazing piece.
@znile1 I think maybe you like this guy too much, maybe Rostrop makes your vagina hurt a little and M and M tickled it better with his facial hair. or maybe you're just a douche bag with nothing real to say, so you get mad and lash out because of your ignerance? either way you sound like a stupid little bitch with a short mans complex.
i prefer this version to yo yo ma's because he makes the piece more attractive.i saw those faggot comments saying this guy sounds horrible compared to yo yo ma's and that he sounds like he's sight reading. WHAT?!
@Fireflyls It's just a case of people needing something to feel superior about. Because they like this music, instead of that by a pop artist, it makes them feel better about themselves--like they're better than any who listen to him. It really is incredibly stupid.
It's strange how we started the music culture with such masterpieces, and as time presses on to the current era we listen to this Justin bieber CRAP. Good music has lasted since the 1600 and before, and yet i cant tell you who was #1 billboards last year at this time. but i will never forget Johann Sebastian Bach 1685-1750 R.I.P.
my parents used to bug me to play the cello, taking me to lessons weekly, making me practice an hour daily. i hated it more than anything in the world. they used to tell me how lucky i was to be able to get to play the cello, and that one day when i get older, that i would be able to appreciate it. i thought they were full of crap. i quit as soon as i entered college, and up until a few years ago, realized how much i missed it. this was the last piece i was practicing before i quit.

You poor thing. I just started last year and it was suite one prelude that got my attention, but this one is my favorite. I want to play cello till i DIE, and I could die happily knowing that I learned this song. So far, I only got down Gavotte II
Yes, i think this one is my FAVORITE of bachs cello suites... i also would like to play it, but it is a bit too difficult with the chords if i dont tune the strings , as it was written 4... :) i must say i better like Maurice Gendrons version of this Gavotte, But Mischa´s sure doin well;)
This is 99Mandalore, but I just want to say that its normal, the angle that he is holding the bow, shows that it curves normally, it is normal, its not really crooked, if you play with a string instrument, you can see the bow is curving downward, and it's just the angle that hes holding the bow.
Its perspective and choice to say that one musician is better then the other. Rostropovich plays a higher quality interment then Mischa in this video that's why to me Rostropovich sounds better.
It seems as though the movements in he Bach suites increase in difficulty progressively. When I finally master suite six, I might look back on suite one and say: "I thought this was hard?"
Though comparatively simple, the songs always retain their beauty. Bach was truly a genius.
Wow, I used to fall asleep when I was a baby to this song. Then I took up cello 5 years ago and just yesterday started working on this peice. I never knew the chords where that hard!! It's gonna take me at least 6 months to learn it. This guy is too beast. Haha:D
I really think that the recording style/quality doesn't do him justice in this one. I have another set of his recordings for the Bach Cello Suites, and with the much clearer sound, this piece sounds unbelievably better.
I like this version better than rostropovichs. I think his intonation and overall flow of the peice surpasses rostropovichs (see other gavotte by him).
I am trying to play this and the chords are UNBELIEVEABLY hard. if anybody can give me fingerings or anything at all to help me with the chords i will greatly appreciate that.
this interpretation is pretty damn good and i dont know who did better maisky or rostropivich but it seems that maisky's tempo is too fast then settles down while rostro's is constant
Mainsky studied with Rostropovich. It's funny, however, how different they interpret the very same piece of music. I enjoy listening to Mainsky once and I while, so I get to appreciate Slava's version much more.
Rostropovich puts such a large amount of emotion in this specific piece that, to me, it sounds that Mainsky is skipping notes (which he's not). It's because of the way Slava plays. He enhances this piece of music to a whole different level.
He's really using some stomach muscle there. I was listening to this video on high volume and I could hear him taking great gasps of air. I play the classical guitar and sometimes I do that as well (mostly because I forget to breath). I bet he got a great workout perfecting this piece.
He plays so clearly, wow. I play the violin, I still can't do it clear sound. I think I'm in like Gr.7 or 8 or 9, I didn't take the RCM Exam yet. (Canada)
OMG!! I LOVE THE WASY HE PLAYS IT!!! it sounds exactly like the wasy i would think of it to be played.... the high notes were a teeny off, but i really enjoyed this performance :D
It's kind of sad to see people talking trash about performer x's interpretation. Nobody's going to play what Bach wanted, because we don't know what that is. Interpretation is just that. Performer x's ideas on how the piece sounds best, based on a few standards. If there was one right way to play something, it wouldn't be interesting after the initial listening.
That said, I really enjoy Maisky's rendition of the suites. He seems to pull an anxious tension out of nowhere, which I lovc.
rostropovich's version is better, seems like he has more emotion when he plays this song, actually feels each note and brings them all out exactly as they should be :/ check him out
The posted Rostropovich version is too slow, almost slurred. This one is lively as befits it as a DANCE movement. This one is truer, in my mind, to the music and the composer.
Pablo Casals's version is incredible. He plays with the rhythm a bit I think, and gets makes the piece itself dance. Don't know how faithful it is to Baroque technique, but it's pretty great.
I can agree with this completely although my copy of the Casals recording was on cassettes. I haven't listened to it in years but I did listen to it countless times. This Maisky sounds like what I remember - the articulation, the attack, the handling of chords, the pacing - although the tone is different.
the rostropovich, in my opinion, did not show the feeling of a "dance." in fact, many gavottes are meant to be played in a light, quick, dance-like manner. maisky showed us an ideal example in this performance.
doblerejazz!!! omg i saw it its not tha great ok!!!! omg ive seen ur comment on every mischa video. i bet u in those 50 years he played better than u everytime he did play so shut up!
I prefer his Gavotte 1; but Gavotte 2, Rostropovich... My opinion.

Simply beautiful. I love this suite, and it seems easy when Maisky plays it... It's so beautiful, so perfect execution!
It's incredibly difficult to play this in four strings....

It looks scary but once you try (of course, use an edition with FINGERING) you may find is not that terrible...

The Gavotte II in the middle section is one of my favorite passages in all the six cello suites. Played very nicely.

If anyone knows a book or something that has all these suites, could you tell me? Be a big help, I've only played prelude and Courante.
