Tchaikovsky Pezzo Capriccioso: Oliver Aldort (14-year-old)

[lexgregg]

it just makes me feel like shit, i work my ass off trying to be a good cellist, but i cant even afford an instructor and i have a very low quality cello; which took me 6 months to save for.

[pianowhiz1]

Very beautiful piece, how much did you practice to get it perfect?

[shinuku77]

Wow that blew my mind. for a kid thats so young to play this piece its unbelievable.

u are much better then when i was 14. I have to admit their are some things i would fix but for your age thats amazing. keep it up and mabey you'll have a career.

good luck.

[Alllexxx333]

Beautiful, Oliver! When I'm listening you, I want to throw my cello away and never play again :)

You are great cellist! Probably, you already now that.

But I don't understand : Siant-Seans concerto at 11?- amazing :)

[tropigrapher]

I love his performance. Great technique and musicality (or musicianship? which one is the right one). Anyways, it's an awesome performance. Bravo Oliver!!!! By the way, I would love to be a student of Lynn Harrell. How can I contact him?

[kempff95]

how much his cello cost?

[Aldort]

It is a 3/4 cello on loan to Oliver. Worth maybe seven grand.

[vajbasso]

its very nice who is your teacher? its very good work bravo oliver

[Aldort]

Oliver studies with cellist Lynn Harrell.

[tommaso1618]

Lynn Harrell????

Thats great!

Congratulations

[Aldort]

It only ends in b minor. The piece is in e minor.

[holmesau]

absolutely ridiculous you're ability on not 1 but 2 instruments. I'd say though, stick with the cello, pianists are a dime a dozen, you're a far more accomplished cello player than pianist. great playing

[PhillipLWilcher]

Favourited with the greatest pleasure.

Musician to musician : I believe in you!

[Cyrian7]

That's exactly what I am asking myself all the time too!!! He is so an enormous talent and we will certainly soon have privilege to attend his concerts in Europe too! I can't think this day to be soon enough! Thank you Oliver for allwhat you do as an honor do the mankind!

[dragonzlyric]

He's amazing-where would I be able to see him perform live?

[thegrumpycellist]

OMG I am envious of the crystal clear quality he plays :( When I play it's always mushy mushy mushy...

[ashtray405]

this is gonna sound stupid but the song made me cry LOL!!! very beuatifully played, i love the emotion

[mireya85]

Amazing!! How sensitive are you... Congratulations from a cellist, you will arrive very far away!

[uxnosidda]

wow - i can really feel your soul pouring into the music.

[Maximillian17]

excellent

[Pianoloverok]

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!

[inaned]

Thumbs up!

[cellocraze]

do you have footage of olivers masterclass with lynn Harrell? If you do i would love to see it. Your sons brilliant and he's gonna be great one day, if he isn't already.

[tituscaesar]

played with great virtuosity, panache and sensitivity!! sublime!

were these last three videos part of a public concert or were they simply "home recordings"?

[Aldort]

These were competition performances and Oliver won.

[spsvrn]

Aldort,

Oliver plays beautifully. Kudos to him and to his teacher! I am curious about his cello. It reminds me of mine, and I have not seen another like mine. This is the first time. What kind of cello is it?

[Aldort]

I don't know. He doesn't have that cello any more. It was a 3/4, French, unknown.
