Bach - Cello Suite No.2 i-Prelude

[Frozified]

I love his passion to this prelude

[crazymonkey122100]

Is it just me, or are there two big butts behind him??

[TheDancer11304]

I can play this now! :)

[bokocrew]

How does anyone wanna listen to the new Bieber song when you have real beautiful music like this.

[Hank8482]

@bokocrew If you lived in Brazil, as I do, you would say: How do people can listen to the Brazilian Carioca's (Rio de Janeiro's) Funk while in the other hand there is much from this beauty in the world? God bless São Paulo, the economic and cultural machine of this country.

[bokocrew]

@Hank8482 hey Hank Brasil still makes wonderful music don't criticize it :)

Still I agree with you on the beauty of this musics.

[highlanderdurp]

IM 2 YEARS OLD AND I LISTEN TO CLASSICAL. IM TOO COOL!

[VeronicaRamm]

he makes it look so easy....

[Vosbureau]

Nice performance, but i dont like his romantic version...it is to heavy, but yes, its Maisky..hehe

[MinuteMist]

Bach is comfort food for the soul. How can anyone not fall in love with this?

[ResPainkiller]

Octavia: Now THIS is good music. Paine: Pffft. I can see why music is contraband now...

[animedork223]

I've played violin for 3 years and I'm 2nd chair, but I'm still a beginner.It takes countless effort to master your instrument.Playing the notes is a great start, but you need to learn to bring the music to life with things like dynamics

[93jenks]

@TheDancer11304. He's saying play other pieces to develop musicality. Playing the notes is only half the challenge of playing Bach. Making them flow together and sing is the part that even musicians that have played for 20 years struggle with.  Also, 1 year still makes you a beginner.. Sorry.

[MegaStaticCling]

I love this! I've been playing for a year and I'm perfectly capable of these. You can ask my private teacher. I've nearly finished the 1st Suite already. 1 more to learn. I don't like it when people criticize me when they don't know me. I'm 2nd chair and one of two people in my school who can play Bach. I'm so close to playing this! :)

[TheDancer11304]

I'm not a beginner, I've been playing for a year thank you. I'm one of my school's best cellists and I Love the Bach Cello Suites and I'm very good at them.

[TheDancer11304]

This is beautiful. I've been playing cello for a year and I can play all of Suite 1 except the Allemande. Any suggestions?

[akudal964]

Thank you so much for all the uploads, Bacholoji!

[mozarthana]

simplesmente belo como pode ser tao perfeito ....musica de Deus ....amo Bach ....!!!eu amo musica classica ,nao existe algo mais lindo !!!sinto na minha alma ....

[dryman107]

bruteblockforce r u kidding me u dont know who beiber is hes like the most popular teen pop these a days 

[wolfy1979747]

@dryman107 I'm being pedantic, but please use the English language correctly. "These a days" What is that?

It's just about a sacrilege. And it's not cool.

[adipsous]

Maybe my favorite movement in all six suites. Maisky! Wow, way to explore the extremes. I usually go for a more meditative approach. I don't know if i feel that way anymore. Way to make it personal, full of passion. ☆☆☆☆☆

[Unholyspaghetti]

i'm 14 and I LOVE CLASSICAL MUSIC!!!! Jesus Christ it feels good to get that off my chest

[YukiUzumaki78]

@Unholyspaghetti You were holding that in? Don't ever hold your love for classical music back. I myself am 15, and I gladly tell anyone who asks that I love classical. I know it's considered "boring" and "annoying" in today's society, but then again, I don't care for what today's society has to say.

[MrSaad1932]

@Unholyspaghetti your smarter than others your age... dont worry

[impromptuRehearsal]

@Unholyspaghetti you're ashamed?

[Unholyspaghetti]

@impromptuRehearsal its just that classical music is not considered a normal style of music you may listen to among teenagers.

[impromptuRehearsal]

@Unholyspaghetti well, neither is typing out full words, so I'd say you're a complete weirdo. Sorry!

[Unholyspaghetti]

@impromptuRehearsal hahahah thanks! yeah true, teens are complete idiots...

[troslogoth]

@Unholyspaghetti there's more teenagers that like classical music than you think...

you just gotta find them.

your high school's music room is a good start

[TheTaylos]

@Unholyspaghetti really now? who is your favorite componist, and what is your favorite piece?

[Unholyspaghetti]

@TheTaylos my favorite bassoon peice (I play bassoon) is Vivaldi's bassoon concerto in Am as for favorite composer that goes to Camille Saint-Saens

[Unholyspaghetti]

@Unholyspaghetti *piece

[TheBatteredTruth]

Most musicians have accompanists, cellists have Bach.

[arod68993]

its not out technically. he tuned it 10-20 cents off for the minorcality of the piece.

and after listening his hand position is up slightly. very so slightly to were yu can barely see, and all of his strings are around 5-15 cents off on purpose.

[arod68993]

its not out technically. he tuned it 10-20 cents off for the minorcality of the piece.

[swizzle2012]

his d string is out of tune!! :O

but he played through it so well :)

[TheDashingRor]

There's two large butts in the background. Awkward.

[thiagomaa]

Ju, ouve essa!

[y2k2barby]

ermosa para dormir jajaja



[decadentidealist]

Let's just spam people who try and talk about their love for Bieber on Maisky video from now on? Like this if you're with me, that way more people will see it and do the same.

[epiccchipley]

why would anyone, more like 14 PEOPLE dislike this?! this is AMAZING! at least in the perspective of a 8 year violinist........

[thelaughingguitar]

This is just pure heart, emotion, and genius.

[rojp08]

Absolute genius!

[KennethNewton]

Beautifule dynamics at the beginning. The accents are a little too much though around 1:00.

[SynthWoof]

@KennethNewton Can we hear/ see your interpretation please?

[mysterioso2006]

I LOVE Mischa Maisky. 

[raflex54]

I wan't to Know. Hwo is the musician?

[SnarkAttack12]

@raflex54 haha his name is on the playlist you were watching. Mischa Maisky is the cellist

[xXBleedingXBriannaXx]

Does anyone know where I can get a free mp3 of this?

[triplehelix989]

@xXBleedingXBriannaXx Just download the video using your Firefox browser or some program. Download AOA audio extractor from download dot com and and extract the audio from your downloaded youtube video. Thats what I do.

[TheDarkMitzuki]

Gosh. I wish I could play the cello like he does. The cello in my opinion is the most beautiful instrument in the world, simply ravishing.

[MARDIGRASish]

@TheDarkMitzuki dude for real im working on exactly what this guy is doing. just playing through all the suits im ALMOST DONE! when im done im doing to plat the first movements of all of them at a cello fest

[TheDarkMitzuki]

@MARDIGRASish Congrats, I'm sure that it's very much rewarding!

[MARDIGRASish]

@TheDarkMitzuki i just hope i dont mess up (yikes!)

[earcandy1231]

@TheDarkMitzuki Your the top comment on Trentemollers Into the Trees. Awesome we have the same taste in music. :)

[TheDarkMitzuki]

@TheDarkMitzuki Oh, haha! I can't believe that you remember my username!

and wow, there is not many people that have a similar taste in music like us isn't there?

I never attempt to answer the replies I get from my comment since most of them are rude remarks about virginity. :/

[denebgarza]

In all honesty, I'm not Beiber hater I'm just curious: why are there Beiber battles on all this guy's cello concert videos?

Is there something I'm missing here? What does Beiber have to do with this?

[simon9434]

@denebgarza there are justin bieber comments on three quarters of all the music vids on youtube, not just this guy. its a sad story

[SKAuthenticDank]

seriously... you damn dim people, thumbs down any unrelated comment and leave it at that. It'll get automatically hidden after people get the hang of doing this rather than battling it out on the text frontier and having it drag on for months on a GREAT video

[TheOneYouNeverKnew19]

SHAME on anyone who is talking about Justin on here. This has nothing to do with him. I'm trying to enjoy this music, STOP polluting good music with ridiculous JB comments. If you hate him then go to his videos and say so, don't do that on a totally unrelated video. Idiots.

[conde19745]

The name Be$%&r should not be witten near the name Bach 

[TheMisol70]

i love how he gets into this piece of amazing music

[Zekkary]

From the Gummo soundtrack.... AWESOME!

[Gilatshia]

the musician kinda looks robotic.... cept for his facial expression.

[Matr64]

I have a question for all the cellist out there:

Can late starters become professional cellist?

At least I think that for pianist or violinist it is hard to, but I think that many people that start at 14,15 end up playing in orchestras.

[NimbleTurtle13]

@Matr64 I know a guy who started at 19 became a concert cellist... of course that takes a lot of practice and dedication to pull off. Yeah age 14- 15 is nothing.

[giofritz]

bravissimo

[NinjaSaria]

This is the only music I can listen to that puts me in a complete sense of calm. It's just so beautiful.

[OrdinaryCritic]

It reads "Artist: Johann Sebastian Bach," WTF?!

[evildeathmonkey1]

@OrdinaryCritic So? It's a piece created by Bach preformed by Mischa Maisky.. What's the problem?

[JhonyTomo]

Esto es música y no mierdas.

[OrdinaryCritic]

He/She even said those who like Bach's music are mentally retarded.

By the way, he/she is also a Bieber fan...

[OrdinaryCritic]

I am not disturbed by the Bieber battles [I know most people hate him].

But, what bothers me is why some Gaga fans, especially one I have just encountered, hates classical music and says Gaga's music is supreme...

I was like, WTF?! Is he/she stupid?

He/She even states that classical music is annoying, stupid, and confusing...

I understand why it is confusing for him/her...because he/she might have embraced simple, senseless, and unemotional music...but, why call it stupid and annoying?!

[msgephsy]

@OrdinaryCritic I'm a Gaga fan, and I looooove classical music, I've loved classical music longer than gaga. I'm a fan of various genre's of music, I do not compare them though, obviously they are different levels ;)

[GuitarRasguado]

@OrdinaryCritic

Could not agree more. I think that arguing with people like that is not worth the effort, they just do not understand. Though I understand that it is important to say something about it on the other hand. People like that might learn to appreciate it or not...(their loss otherwise)

[Fredly24000]

this is music millions of people listened to for hundreds of years. this type of music. the good type

[aram01201]

Why are people so obsessed with Justin Bieber, this has Nothing to do with him. This is art of the highest level, JB just makes music for the millions.

[ihategeorgedubyabush]

I can't believe people have the audacity to compare beiber and bach i am insulted

[jsnauwaert]

@ihategeorgedubyabush

It's not audacity. It's incredible stupidity. Infinite stupidity.

[MrFlac00]

This piece is very well played. I wish I had the skill to play this well.

[77jos10]

@wxz91 lol. I completely agree

[YouDiscuss]

Beautiful..but he has a very odd bow hold. I was told you should never put your thumb under the stick because it causes tension in the hand.

[Ayzukiolover]

@YouDiscuss It does, but if you have an extraordinarly large thumb or hand, you have to. And it works better for some players--I have to. I find it incredibly more comfortable.

[19LuSh14]

@YouDiscuss Really? That's how my teacher has me hold my bow.

[Guitarhead03]

Justin Bieber could play this with his toes...

Jk, this Mischa's rendition is amazing.

[wxz91]

Enough already -.- let's play a game, do never mention Bieber*** again in presence of such beautiful music. Or EVER.

[bigkittysmile]

beiber is shit bach is immortal

[BruteBlockForce]

Who the fuck is justin Beiber?

[KevHedgehog]

@BruteBlockForce

If you serious don't know him... you may not want to know.

[spunkets]

@BruteBlockForce

Justin Beiber is someone with a lisp trying to say, "just a beaver."

[sradley89]

@BruteBlockForce I know him. Doesn't he sing soprano in the Vienese boys choir? :-)

[AVanover5]

@BruteBlockForce Why are comments of Justin Beiber even on this page?? I can stand the fact that his name is littered over every damn music video and performance. He's not worthy of mention here. Thumbs down if you agree because the tinge of Beiber needs to go down into the abyss of the comments.

[SuperJamesIV]

Beiber vs this seriously? beiber is a peice of sand compared to bach end of discussion. this is wonderful loved it

[IAmTheViolaFreak]

This is so beautiful, I could die happy listening to this... but that won't be for a while.

[vivimaze]

"I believe that Bach was one of the greatest romantics of all times. One shouldn't forget that in addition to his wonderful music, he had twenty children. Otto Klemperer was once told that it was discovered one shouldn't play Bach with vibrato, to which he replied, 'Huh? Twenty children and no vibrato?'" Mischa Maisky

[Nateisbored]

2:25, this guy is straight up shreddin the cello

[MsAmericajapan]

i learned to not look at the comments on a youtube video b/c they ruin the mood...unless it's as bad as the song Friday by Rebecca Black XC

[MsAmericajapan]

i learned to not look at the comments on a youtube video b/c they ruin the mood...unless it's as bad as the song Friday by Rebecca Black XC

[37MKE]

Can we stop talking about bieber PLEASE? Specially on Bach video

[chichi123xx]

Can you do that to Bach? Flunctuate tempo and use rubato?

[nezvanova]

@chichi123xx Some would say not, but every one interprets Bach differently...

[rafudu]

@chichi123xx sure. you can do anything with any music :) If you feel like doing it, do it. Play music is not science, it's about feeling.

Purists will disagree, but you're playing to please yourself or to please them?

[vivimaze]

@chichi123xx absolutely. especially since bach (like all composers in his day) put hardly any markings to suggest how to interpret the piece.

[paranoidandroid1997]

my first son or daughter is going to have cello lessons

[master6339]

did anyone else notice that he wears odd shoes?

[jsnauwaert]

@master6339

No. And he doesn't.

[master6339]

@jsnauwaert yeah, looking at them now idk why i posted that in the first place

[MsCaraline]

if my heart break could sing...

[misszezcullen]

HOLY SHIT!!!

[Alexjr1543]

Stop talking about Justin Bieber, you idiots.

[zattacks]

There's also the matter of the almost mathematical underlying patterns forming the music. One person thought considerably about this, the other probably doesn't even know what this means. I'll leave it to you guys to figure out which musician goes where.

[Starweaver09]

Bieber vs. Bach?? WTF??!! this are two different musician with different style of music... Very opposite music, Bach's music is very intellectual but Bieber's music non-sense and he is just a boy who didn't reach his puberty! hahahahahah! :))

[spxlazy]

this guy can play,the way he makes his music is incredibly fascinating

[pureaKero]

OMG, why does EVERY SINGLE post on youtube become a Beiber battle?!?!?!?

[kittygobark1]

@pureaKero because there are a lot of morons that are on the internet.

[typhoonaaron]

@pureaKero Beiber Battle!  Bei-ber!!!

[wxz91]

@pureaKero IKR? Unbelievable. So freaking annoying

[19LuSh14]

@pureaKero Annoying huh? Maybe that just means that he doesn't have very many fans....

[releitse88]

@pureaKero Oh my god, thank you!! Let's just please enjoy the music!

[Thorongir]

@pureaKero

there was research a while back cant remember specifics, but was something like if an internet forum thread stays open long enough it will descend into speak about hitler/nazi's i think bieber is possibly under this phenomena.

[whitesupremashit]

@pureaKero it is kind of hard to avoid the subject since his .... erm .. sound, is so peculiar...

[mtal6gost6forever]

Ahi muchos estilos musicales, algunos echos con computadoras pero no ahi nada que se compare con esto!

[Lucastrombonist]

Quando voce tocou a ultima pauta ... aquelas 4 cordas me fizeram arrepiar ... voce toca com tanto sentimento !!!! U is an Perfect Cellist !!

[Pickdivision]

That piece sounds very depressing.

[asianboywonder2312]

the last set of chords are some of the best things I have ever heard. Pop music has nothing on the classics. If the record companies hadn't interfered in the natural order, I believe that Symphonic rock would have been the mainstream step.

[mushy58mushy]

@asianboywonder2312 or perhaps classically influenced rock music. Apocalypta, Muse etcc.

[asianboywonder2312]

@mushy58mushy True, true.

I hate the economic influence in the arts.

[CelticCellist]

This was an excellent place to come for some inspiration for my audition tomorrow

[TheKodyE]

@MozartIsFancylalala Vibrato makes it sound better because then if you're slightly off on a note whomever is listening can't notice (as easily)

[MozartIsFancylalala]

why does he need to use vibrato on every note

[Gooldoon]

@MozartIsFancylalala

He dont use vibrato on every note... he just use it on long notes

[AZWozzeck]

Thank you for that video! I loved it!

[IMxAxGINGER]

even his cello has a boner!

[wallaceX2jc]

I love players that play with emotions and a heart in them. GOODJOB :D

[bio2451]

Sorry I'm not a real connoisseur of classical music, but I adore it. In my ignorance this is simply superb.

[Nanusko]

Lindo a más no poder ¿Dónde está tocando?

[cello19661]

WOW!!

[JAMiE0WAMiE]

Okay. It was amazing. I think the vibrato was just right. He used the right amount for each section and note. The tiny detailing of vibrato gives the piece an original nuance... Which is A LOT better than hearing a carbon copy Bach.

[chazjg2]

11 people have HORRIBLE taste in music and worship KE$ha. lolz.

[cameronique]

Mischa brings out the mystery in this piece as I have never heard.

[crazybunni3g1rl]

personally, i think he uses to much vibrato.

[kenrsdude]

His hair adds the feel.

[Theclaidheamhmor]

I love the background. It feels very authentic.

[LOTViolists]

It's.... it's just... how can anyone be so perfect.... or create such beauty... and why can't I do it yet??? lol!

[Thenamesjenny]

can everyone just stop talkin about justin beiber? it like fucking beiber hate fever on youtube, just stop talking about it!

[AlaskaGirlzXD]

@Thenamesjenny and this has to do with this...how?

[Thenamesjenny]

@AlaskaGirlzXD when I first watched the video, there were video comments about J.B.

[AEFic]

Hm, I've never seen a bow hand like that. Interesting.

[opblitz87]

Where can I buy DVD? How is this performance's called? I want one.

[heleendj]

it's really beautiful, but i think he (and other musicians) use to much vibrato. The cello can be so pure without vibrato

[casualsharpiee]

he needs a haircut

[LordBinky2]

@casualsharpiee No way. I wish I could get my hair like that

[casualsharpiee]

@LordBinky2 bahaha oh sorry ;]

[ivorine1981]

No more mention of stratford boy!! This is Mischa playing Bach damnit!!

Focus on the music people!!

And Mischa definitely has a nice head of hair then and now! :)

[Tylee55]

oooo how i wish i could just listen to this alll day long

[btucker627]

Justin beiber and bach are two totally different styles of music, if you cant appreciate classical then somethings wrong with you. Beibers music is terrible, he sounds like a 12 year old girl but you dont see me going to his music and saying you suck, so take yer bull shit else where beacuse this is real music.

[OmgItsTheShelbinator]

@btucker627 Betcha Beiber's music won't even make it hundreds of years like Bach's music has. None of the pop songs of today will. It's a sad but true fact. :) I agree with you 100% that this is real music.

[Gmail8589934591]

@btucker627 ima hunrgy

[MerchantOfDeath69]

@btucker627 Beiber's music isn't terrible, we just don't like it. Just because he has a high voice doesn't make him untalented. Of course, he's not any where near as talented as Mischa... You are quite close-minded, no? "if you cant appreciate classical then somethings wrong with you." Huh....

[thrillseeker70]

@btucker627 Well Said 10/10.

[slupanik]

Totally amazing! Mischa Maisky ist the best violoncellist ever seen! He plays absolutely beautiful. I don't understand how can somebody find it boring!

[slupanik]

Totally amazing! Mischa Maisky ist the best violoncellist ever seen! He plays absolutely beautiful.

[schizer]

It still baffles me as to how people can seem to vibrato chords so easily! I'm jealous. It's so freaking difficult for me just to get the last few chords in tune!

[HoneydewJu]

Jewfro :D

[catcazy69]

i agree id rather listen to justin biebers. At least i can tap my toes to him, this is boring i almost pulled out my ruger p90 and shot myself

[vivimaze]

@catcazy69 :[

[TheDurektor]

@catcazy69 Do it!

[yardgoods]

@catcazy69 Before you shoot yourself, go find Justin Bieber and shot him first...
