Cello Concerto in B flat Major, G.482 - I. Allegro moderato

[cellobrox2]

so i'm learning this piece and i can't even play it half as good as this guy! i'm sixteen... =P

[MichelleSeven]

amazing....!

[Chaosflyex98]

This song looks so HARD.

[itzovernienthousand]

If this song was a potato, it would be a nice potato

[nertin123]

you are so amazing!

[alexdrudigmail]

A layman's question: in a soloist + orchestra who's in charge of deciding the tempo, the soloist or the director?

[Mizzles240]

he wrote 9 cello concerti!!??

[VIOLA703]

Magnifico!

[franKii924]

I know nothing about playing music at all, but i just love the sound of string instruments, piano(someone told me it wasnt a string instrument but i thought it was), and the saxophone

[boonce1696]

@franKii924 saxophone definitely isn't strings!

[franKii924]

@boonce1696 no i meant the piano lol i know the saxophone isn't a string instrument

[JelloCellos]

Some interesting fingering, I've never seen the opening played in fourth position. Great job, you are clearly very talented! I'm a cellist as well and I'm playing this piece in an audition in a few days. You are better than me and I'm a year older than you! *Must practice*

[caliopea01]

wheel i have played Boccherini also...but 20 years ago... nice context with chamber orchestra. My all admiration for the nice way to play

just keep this way!

Greetings Adriana

[Kangenshi]

This is amazing! You are incredible!

[richiem95]

B flat major is the nicest key ever

[caliopea01]

goh.....i quit my music...i stay just a good spectator and like to view this on YT......you are really very skilled....

Goh..give my cello back )):..... wheel this instrument is the best from all....en you play hem awesome...

regards....Adriana

[Mizzles240]

@caliopea01 what are you saying

[Prfactist]

You're gonna be a great cellist someday. All the particular criticism in these comments is because we know you're skilled enough to take it and get better. Imagine when wisdom that comes with age is added to your technique! You'll be great :)

[CanadianCafe]

Son... cello concerto in B. I am Disappoint, you should play concerto in A!

[Strefanash]

well played but i dont think much of the piece. it seems like mere virtuosity to me. perhaps a more suitable vehicle for a major talent would be the Elgar Cello Concerto (but then I am a double bass player :) )

[MoontouchedOwlBeast]

Congratulations Wonderful Performance.

[sejferin]

mate to u mna .super tim.§diki§

[Bigbug123456]

a little fast, but great intonation...ill stick with du pre though :)

[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic!

[rockleefangirl189]

I am SO gonna play the cello :D. This is amazing >w<!

[OperaBuff1935]

What a nice playing of this concerto by this very talented youg musician. I first heard this piece played many years ago by John Martin, the longtime first cellist of the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington, D.C. Over the years my love for this piece has not only not waned, but gotten stronger.

[SeraphThanatos]

Wow, I'm 18 and I'm not even close to this good! That's just not fair!

[HERIBERTO37ify]

Brillant music baroque.

[aprandecki]

stupid comments. what interpretation??? its the best I have ever heard. and since he's thirteen, i think its ok for his "interpretation" or whatever you call it to be different. why dont you start playing the violin and then talk.

Great job!! Bella!! Outstanding! Prodigy!!

[TheACacello]

@aprandecki why should we play the violin? The cello is much cooler...

[Doll0555]

@TheACacello

.. I understand, even though I play the violin and adore it.

[paulineyml]

i have been listening for this for quite some years and i am still listening to it sometimes

i think it is very beautifully play :D

[thecelloman1300]

audience fail at the end:P

very nicely played:)

[Mariekesone]

13?...and you are this Great already..?

Very impressive and Beautiful:-)

[youwrotethis]

I feel as if the triplets that go in between fourth and first position were wrong... they weren't even enough? That's what I think

[Nitemelodies2]

@youwrotethis you are right the timing is off and it sounds like a blob of noise there but hes really good for thirteen he just need to play neater and a little slower and more precise but he is really good^^

[youwrotethis]

Yeah I was having trouble with that and I was trying to listen to this recording to figure it out....to anyone else who's like me: Don't do that haha

[54294493]

grande!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheTradge]

have to say i think you take this a wee bit too fast, if you decrease the tempo a bit i think you could probably take much more advantage of these melodic passages, particularly at the start

[lzswj]

You are great How old are you

[thesocialnerd]

so that's what a pro sounds like...

[thomasodelago]

Its totally different than the version I know. Is this the original version?

[starcraft1960]

this is the Grützmacher version. It was arranged by him in 1895. The original was written in around 1760-70. That's probably the one you know :)

[brumap1]

Beautiful!!!

[kelborgui]

I loved Bocherini and the your performance!!!

Awesome!

Best regards

Kelvin

[Arctronix]

Heh actually once you play it for a month or so it's ALOT easier then it looks

[TheTradge]

@Arctronix I agree completely agree, I've just started learning this, and obviously on the first run through or so it's not going to be easy, but I think that if you know the piece by listening to it before learning it, you're going to find it much easier to learn it =]

[whateveryoshi]

I Agree :D

[Bakuryu4Ever]

This guy must have devoted his life to the Cello.

Reminds me of Keiichi Shimizu from La Corda D'oro.

[imaginationkid14]

...i didnt look this up after reading that or anything.. hahah shimizu is my fav char, i also play cello so when I first found out he played cello he autimatically became my fav char lol...

[33unoka]

fantastisch! Mit 13 Jahren! Ich gratuliere Dir!!!!

[Arctronix]

are you kidding? my cello teacher just assigned me this piece and i was thinking about it and um IM SCREWED there is no way i can play this good -.-

[trafficguy101]

same here >:[

[Bakuryu4Ever]

3 words

Ur screwed man.

Really.

But dun break ur fingers though.

[ASJH1102]

Ya no1 like etudes, but with out them, and Scales and Arpeggios, u can never be a great cellist

[funnygrudge]

Yuli Turovsky? Nice.

[musichris01]

Haha I know right? I've been playing other stuff. I started with Suzuki but by the time I got to book ten I've started becoming more interested with other pieces. That and those aweful popper etudes...

[youwrotethis]

Oh man book 10? I quit after book 5 and went on to concertos and stuff :P Etudes are NOT fun lol

[SuperMusicman70]

stop wishing u could play something and actually go learn it

[JordyKun]

I just received this music today... I've never played this piece before, or anything like it. And I can say that it is hard, just by looking at it and trying to sight read it.

It does sound lovely though.

[Bakuryu4Ever]

I wish i could play a Cello.

[canadarox14]

I wish I could play anything.

[minorSi]

lol..you should try to..

[TheSquirel123]

very inpressive... im also playing this conncerto, but im almost 15 years old... :)

[Ricochet1495]

lol same here! i'm turning 15 soon also!

[ahnily]

I'm learning this right now, but it is soo hard! Beautiful song though.

[1violon1cello]

Very beautiful concerto!

[musichris01]

Guh, Im playing this movement for my recital on monday. Its annoying because I've been working on it on and off since I was thirteen, but Im still no where near as good as you were when you played this. Im sixteen now. : /

[youwrotethis]

Since you were thirteen?! What have you been doing?!

[Logan2192]

Didn't necessarily like some of the interpretation, but you're definitely very skilled

[PrincessMayan2907]

i love the cellist...im not a musician...i hope i can meet u in the future!

[jiminysays]

amazingly clean

almost like it just had a bubble bath

[BarbaraPloyer333]

Wonderful performance!!! Did you notice that around 5:14 it sounds like Dittersdorf's oboe concerto? Nice job, by the way!!!

[mina8596]

Wow this is really great!!

[chriseok]

Beautiful tone also, perfect swells at the beginning. A LOT of cellists can't do them musically.

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks for your comment!

[nertin123]

wow! you are one of the most wonderful cellist i ever seen

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks so much for your nice comment! =)

[GeorgeMaj15]

I've been playing cello for two years, I'm 16 now, just "finished" learning this piece, in other words, I'm starting to polish it and memorize it. It is one of the most playful cello concertos I have ever heard.

[alex2991]

It is not tallent...Is VERRY MUCH TRAINING;).... I know from my experience:) But still quite impressive, i do this concerto now, and i have almost 17 years...

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks for your comment! =)

[autumghost]

Hey!!!! I'm 13 too and i'm playing this song!!!!!!!

but you play it 20 times better than i do...................

great job playing it, i got to try and get the cadenza down....

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks so much for your comment! =)

And I'm sure you'll conquer this concerto :).

[cancampus1]

what? he's 13? amazing...!!

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks so much! =)

[AlamoCityCello]

Bravo! What a Talent!

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks so much!

[cellokid94]

beautifully done.

[CapriccioMusic]

Thank you!

[chriseok]

5:06....Quite a stretch for a 13 year old....Nicely done.

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks! =)

[annabanana2144]

maaaan. i wish i could have played like that when i was 13...i'm 16 and just finished this song. he plays beautifully though.

[CeceliaRoseSwanson]

yeah ditto!

this guy is nutsss.

[Chelloben]

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to "finish" a song...

But this was really enjoyable. Awesome tone. Although sometimes I got tense watching him raise his shoulders in high passages. And the lady behind him moved alot which was distracting... But that's probably just because I have ADD. And I like seeing people looks less concentrating in cadenzas... makes it look like it's just flowing from you.

Stéphane You make real music and are inspiring!

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks for your comment!

[nertin123]

Very nicely done

[CapriccioMusic]

Thank you!

[chomeister]

pretty good for his age

[CapriccioMusic]

Thank you :)

[rayOFsunshine59]

heh im thirteen and im still in suzuki book one!!! wahoo!

oh well, i clearly dont have enough drive to play like that! and im certainly not a prodigee!

[yipster7rocks]

Haha you OWN that cello! :D

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks! =)

[bookishmuch]

wow!!! awesome!!! I am playing this concerto right now, I'm 15.

If you;re looking for constructive criticism, your right elbow is a little high, but it doesn't seem to hurt your playing that much. Also the intonation on those runs from the G string was a teensy bit off, mainly after the shift to 2st finger G.

You are amazing!!!!! Omg!!!

[yesiplaycello]

coool im 15 too and im playin thisss :)

[LegoCritic]

I'm 16 and I'm about to start leaning this!

:D

[CeceliaRoseSwanson]

ME TOO!

isn't the most fabulous song ever!

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks for your advice and comment!

[akfencer95]

You rock man!!!!

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks !

[SeitanoShuuki]

Wow... So skilled... I thought I heard a squeak near the end, but the sound is really nice.

[mrkool000000]

me too. i heard a squeak.

[gumiproductions]

I have a cd of Turovsky playing this concerto ( he is not only a conductor but a cellist) and he plays the JC Bach concerto on it also. I like how Turovsky plays them both. Also, interesting how the orchestra stands rather than sits.

[marudesoramitai]

that kid so awesome and cute. i wonder where the kid from which country?!

[IMusicideMontreal]

He is from Montreal, Canada

[violinwizard01]

I love this movement!

[857rere]

Shimizu is an awesome cello player.

[PSCompany05]

i dont think its shizumu... is it?

[857rere]

well its not shimizu playing right now. Shimizu plays the cello

[ladyxxxluck]

Shimizu is. I remember he plays this in the first selection, doesn't he?

[sober2blur]

WOW Its Shimizu.

[nanoha125]

Well, first of all, THAT KID IS WAY TOO COOL!! The Anime "La Corda D'oro" introduces this song to me. Thank you!! Way too cool.

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks so much! =)

[teddygeigerstoohott]

wow this kid is completely amazing. and 13! thats crazy lol im only 14. but still fantastic. go cello! :D

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks so much! :) Cello is the best =).

[violoncello007]

He have very good skill but he played boccherini as Kabalevski.For chellists Boccherini is our Mozart.Boccherini has to play precise !

[Apalexpe]

he has russian school indeed but he's interpretation is not like kabalevski's at all, it is symply different

[Apalexpe]

I love Yuli Turovski, my teacher studied with him

[CapriccioMusic]

Who is your teacher?

[Apalexpe]

She is a Venezuelan cellist who now resides in Miami, Fl her name is Maria Antonieta Salas, she actually did not really get to study with him since she had to move to the U.S but she auditioned for him and he was actually going to start teaching her..are u the cellist on the video?

[CapriccioMusic]

That's cool! Too bad she didn't get to study with him... He's such an incredible teacher.

Yes, I'm the cellist on the video =).

[Apalexpe]

Indeed, not only a good teacher but a virtuoso of the violoncelle and a terrific conductor as well! Your Boccherini sounds a lot like his!!!!

[CapriccioMusic]

He is definitely everything you described =). One of the greatest cellists there ever is or was.

Haha, thank you =). It's truly an honour to be told that.

[Apalexpe]

Your welcome, I can see the special qualities you have an a conection that goes beyond with the instrument, you have earned by comparison by showing the true understanding towards Boccherini that (not everybody has). But Turovky's Kodaly Sonatas are the best ever!!!!!!!

Are a current student at the conservatory in Quebec?

[vinzikweb]

fantastic job, i'm learning the piece and needed help with the style, rhythms, and such

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks so much!

Good luck on playing it! (Or since I took so long to answer, your probably already finished playing it... Sorry.)

[lillipig]

what a hero. Really, greeeat cadenza!!!!

[CapriccioMusic]

Thank you for your kind words. =) I really appreciate it.

[yangkyle]

simply amazing

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks so much!

[cnedjar]

Sans interruption,c'est parfait...bom

[CapriccioMusic]

Merci beaucoup!

[amadeussalzburg]

beautifully played...

[CapriccioMusic]

Thank you!

[cellocraze]

He is amazing, truly one of the more gifted musicians of our time

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks for your kind words. It truly means a lot.

[INEEDSLEEP05]

wow

[CapriccioMusic]

Thank you =)

[YianSan]

Beautiful performance indeed. :D I'd love to play as well as him, but alas I play the violin. Haha.

Thank you for uploading this. I'm inspired to perform better now.

[CapriccioMusic]

Thank you so much for your nice comment =).

Haha, the violin is nice, too :). How long have you been playing it?

[YianSan]

I've played for about six years now (I started when I was about ten), but I still play rather poorly. That's why I'm always so fascinated by amazing musicians like you. :)

[joingood]

sorprendente, ¡muchas felicidades! me gustò mucho tu interpretacion, y sobre todo tu actitud al tocar.

[CapriccioMusic]

Sorry, I don't speak Spanish, but since I speak French, I can guess that what you said was nice :) - so thanks so much for your comment!

[armineharzandeh]

Fantastic cadenza.

[CapriccioMusic]

Thank you! =)

[celloplower]

i like your musical ideas.

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks

[CodenameLightning]

wow hes only 13 and he plays that good.

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks!

[CodenameLightning]

Woah! That was you in the concert? I watched the video again and I still love it. I actually had the chance to learn the cello, violen, or piano when I was 3. Sadly, I picked the piano because it looked the the most majestic. After watching this video, I think I picked the wrong instrument. Favorited.

[dogtransport]

I disagree. Although I play the cello (used to play piano), the piano is the superior instrument.

[gangogongo]

i studied qith that kid we were together in the same classes he went to f.a.c.e fine arts core education

[pbaron23]

prety good

[coreansurfer]

the pitch is just right too

[frederiklisso]

It's amazing ! You have a good bow control ! Je pense que tu viens du Québec? Ah ben c'est nice! En espérant t'entendre en concert bientôt:P

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks! Oui, je vis à Montréal :). En espérant de te rencontrer un jour! :P

[kiwillrockyou]

He's only 13?! Wow, he's amazing.

[pbaron23]

pretty good.

[CapriccioMusic]

Thanks so much! =)
