Ofra Harnoy Cello Solo Song of the Birds

[IDontShine423]

Her vibratto sounds like a shaky / too lightly handled bow.

I mean... 80s hairstyles FTW. >.<

[TheLCusi]

I JUST HEARD HER play live

she is my friends mom!!!!! OMFG!!

[RogerCello]

video and audio are not synchronised. Vibrato is yucky.

[dronc]

lassa perde....

[snootzie78]

Her vibrato sounds like a bleating goat.

[9988eddie]

hello, it's a wonderful composition...... I play this song with my bassoon and my heart cries when I play it.

[CowboyBebop444]

too bad that i cant find any more ofra Harnoy other than this vid

[CowboyBebop444]

This woman did Bloch Schelomo better than anyone i ever heard

[snootzie78]

@CowboyBebop444 Actually, my cello teacher can play Bloch Schelemo better than her--just sayin'.

[CowboyBebop444]

@snootzie78 you might be right....hell a lot of us hear with differant sets of ears and we associate what we like with rhythms we are used to hearing and it reminding you of of something else.

[OreoDip]

hideously awkward vibrado.. i mean to say "otherwise it would be good" would be wrong because vibrado should really be the most important thing in this song..

[davehshs]

@OreoDip Her vibrato is at least as good as your spelling. :-)

[OreoDip]

@davehshs haha sorry, very true.

[Craziees]

i know her son

[DabaDooful]

Beautiful but her vibrato is a bit too fast for my taste. Gorgeous song.

[fatherofprismatics]

I listen to your music in my gallery when I paint

[theblhkt]

Great play...She really transmits the sadness of the song.

Freedom for Catalonia!

[GUAlliance]

Just what I needed to hear :) Thank you

[oldParasiteSingle]

I'm always a sucker for sexy celloists, but this piece is exceptionally beautiful.

[OreoDip]

....cellists.

[bingi111]

@OreoDip what are you trying to say?

[coso13012008]

This song is anonimus.

[doors13]

I love this song.. So deep

[Troiled]

Pau Casals is the master of the modern cello. I'm sure. Aquesta peça m'emociona, i no sabeu prou com.

Visca el Pau i Visca Catalunya.

[Jonesy611]

Faaaar too slow... needs to flow a little more.. shame! Isserlis plays the best version, with sally beamish's arr.

get it!

[DabaDooful]

I agree Jonesy611. It feels slightly stuck almost.

[snootzie78]

Why does she have her endpin out so long? Must be a Rostropovich thing.

[zaokoyechatma]

so it will up high enough

[DabaDooful]

I've seen that quite a lot actually but Rostropovich has it the worst.

[BlackBacon44]

Shame about the intonation during the first few notes. My favourite cellist by a mile. I do not think she has recorded the Elgar. Please tell me if I'm wrong.

[lopages]

His name was and is PAU. He was Catalan.

Please, remember this.

[daibhidh0]

There's also an interesting unaccompanied cello transcription (a subtle virtuoso version)by David Johnstone in the site of johnstone-music ... and it's a free download!

[splendidedu]

why they say pablo casals and pau gasol ´is the same name

[fortvesper]

ISN'T PABLO CASALS, IS PAU CASALS!!!

He was catalan.

Freedom for Catalonia.

[Kombo20]

a lot of notes in the first minute are false. In fact i like the way she plays it but i ruin it because since i have heard my teacher playing it, so much better, sorry for ofra's fans, i cannot hear any other interpreatations od this masterpiece of the great Pablo Casals.

[captains39]

quiero felicitar a stechino por la imaginación!

tal vez la habitualidad con las mujeres de su familia le haya facilitado el comentario.

[vladiinsky]

OFRA I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU

[elcid22]

Oh, my god. Qué mal toca la cabrona, pero qué buena pajoncia me he hecho viendo su cara de zorra

[zipizapdos]

she has probably the most annoying vibrato I've ever heard.

[Max3851]

totally agree, like a mosquito with a gastric problem

[bene1007]

Extraordinarily beautiful, second to none.

(even Pablo Casals)

[stechino123]

que cara de puta!!
