[BaygonBach]

[Fawningsorrow]

Jim Carrey?

[legendaryyao]

Whats wrong with shafran

[yokokanai]

@legendaryyao nodding head, closed eyes, weird pecking mouth, and mostly the insane/random vibrato

[georgiecass20]

Totally looks like Jim cerry when he does yo yo MA

[caparezz]

He's handsome and very good cellist! :) great sense of humor! Every cellist should look at him and learn! =)

[Cellogirl1000]

Hmmm...the Jackie one perhaps overdone, but the rest were marvelously funny!

[particellacass]

Is very funny and accurate!! I laughed lot :D

[SUSAltd]

Janos Starker: close your eyes and don't move.

[yokokanai]

@SUSAltd THE WHOLE VIDEO I WAS WAITING/HOPING FOR HIM TO DO THAT hahahhaahaha oh my god i'm glad we think along the same lines. that would have been downright hilarious

[aelenne]

Marry me, Jacqueline ! XD

[Beyondmyexpectations]

HAHAHAHAHA how baaaastard! This make me laugh :).

[goodcello]

Oh, my God.... I thought I would die with laughing. Casals got my vote of all

.

[Musiciaproductions]

HAHAHA love it!! :)

[davidhan96]

1:03, more like Jim Carrey.

[MsCellist12]

i LOVE how he smiles after each impersonation.  so cute.

[dantedirenzo]

you forgot to imitate yourself......

[hanasar]

@dantedirenzo

He did exactly that for 3 mins & 20 secs. Were you not paying attention?

[cello12345678910]

The thing is your serious videos are more funny and stupid.

[Joeljoel014]

I hope not a lot of people were watching, because there was no laughing...at all. lol this is really funny

[NuPoTsAaLeGuNnIcK]

hahaa funny :)))

[Chocokriz]

Rofles

[ParkwooDxFellows]

This was the funniest thing I've ever seen

[f0xxeyf0xxey]

[iscan000]

His Jacqueline du Pre was the most accurate!! lol

[Crissbassfull]

=)

[cristianflorea]

BRAVO, talentoso !! Begabter ! Warum nicht? Nur spiel selber so schÖn wie möglich ( im Ernst) Dein Kollege

[MahoRoulete]

you know, at first i thought some of those were dissrespectful, until i realised they actually did that. lol

[melocoton711]

Embarrasing! you shoudn't be called musician, disgusting!

[xxDaisuki]

@melocoton711 maybe he was asked to do it... you shouldn't take this seriously. obviously he respects all of his cello fellows :)

[mc2trio]

@melocoton711 you obviously have never seen any of these cellists perform before, stjepan is crudely accurate.

[yamainusan]

That's very funny:D I like that!

[Basszot]

You fucking idiot...You think about fuck your self.

[xxDaisuki]

hahahahahahahhaha I love the Yo Yo Ma part XD

[EpicPanic]

[weltonjuniore]

KKKKKKKKKKKKKkk



[darkzoneo144]

his ce is soo expensive

[QueenAwesomenes]

his Jaqueline du Pree looks like a broken robot spazzing out!! :)

[Elainelps0421]

@drunkwuv You think he has no talent? Because he has a sense of humor?

[friulano]

Della serie: che ss'ha dea

[futuroid]

omg

[triviumlambofgod]

rostropovich and yoyo ma was soooo ffunny

[theyshallhavemusic]

hahah "SEXY"

true statement ^

[celloz1]

im still thinking that its your best recording ever :)))

[regaldrifter]

the pau casals imitation was really mean to be honest, but nonetheless, comedic and entertaining!



[gajuu]

I don't know who's who. But very funny.

[aledemeza]

Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaajajajajajajajaj­ajja eres un amoooooooor!!!! me encantaron tus interpretaciones!!!! :-D super bueno y tocas HERMOOOOSO! jajajajajajajaajajajajajajja :-D

[JReinhardt5]

hahaha asshole

[KashiTV]

HAahahahahahaha !!!!!!!!

SO GREEEEEEEEAT

[NmAlRs]

jajajajajaj q buenooo

[Solarmodul1]

0:50 Jim Carrey playing the vilolincello, Bravo stari. pozdrav iz nijemacke.

[pogodu59]

jadore jacqueline dupres ^^

[Philboy50]

yo yo ma impression so good, espacially when he turned around and nodded to the "orchestra". btw what is the piece from 2:39-2:48 ? so awesome.

[playsapocby4cellos]

Brahms E Minor Cello Sonata

[saittone]

Bravo,bravissimo,rande Duprè.



[Philboy50]

haha, i wish i could give this a thumbs up xD

[monpuomonpuomonpuo]

When the video of imitating Stejpan Hauser playing shostakovich Prelude ?

[carcinogen20]

You would only be offended by this if you've never watched these cellists before. This guy's parodying is hilariously accurate.

[hectlapa]

PAU CASALS :EL PAPÁ DE TODOS LOS VIOLOCELLISTAS DEL SIGLO XX, Y DEL XXI  PAU CASALS,IS THE FATHER OF ALL THE CELLISTS IN THE CENTURY XX AND XXI

[gsj007]

Hilarious!!! My personal favorites are Casals, Yo-Yo and du Pre. To those who find it offensive, it's just an imitation. It's funny because it is accurate, though slightly exaggerated.

[seojuhwan]

Missing Pierre Fournier and Janos Starker!!!!!!!!!!

Very entertaining though :)

[ceilygirlx3]

2:12 cellogasm!

[uselosoo]

Hahahaha

I love the Mischa Maisky and the Jacqueline du Pre imitations the most (:

I don't understand the people who are offended, it's just a joke you know ;)

[DaVirus810]

distateful and really offensive...especially because all of those cellists are a lot better than him

[Elainelps0421]

@DaVirus810 I think he is highly respectful of all those cellists....I don't think he means it as a put-down. I think he is in their league, though. Also, remember, Rostropovich was his teacher. I know he loved him greatly.

[gvn933]

jaqueline du pre was my favorite (:

[ANYULA]

Poor Pau Casals!

[PavlovGuitar]

IDIOT

[debilklinton]

:D

[ikespay]

2:22 hahahahahahahahaahahahaha

[Stefan00b]

LOLLLLLLLLLL <3

[jonsson666]

i fuc*ing cried hahahah :D

[NeenjaGrl]

LIKE LIKE LIKE LIIIIIIKE!!!! lol the only one i know is yo yo mama. i mean yo yo ma.

[supergus2000]

imbecil



[dushes12]

Does Luka sulic says "cool" in the end of the video?

And this is very funny :))))

[violinguyamateur]

Super hilarious but really beautiful playing! maybe someday other people will imitate you too :p

[celloprof]

@violinguyamateur i'll do it X^D I play the cello also, but then someone would start to imitate me later on, X^D. I saw a violist sway so much in her playing that I thought she was going to fall off her seat kind of like his impression of Jacqueline du Pre.

[nandiji]

Super!;-)))))))))))

[TheTucsonJeff]

Not only is this guy a genius cellist, but a hilarious comedian! He's the Victor Borge of cellists.

[TheTucsonJeff]

This is absolutely riotous!!!!

[ANNiieWANNiie]

LOL @yoyo ma one hahaha

[jeanmanuofficiel]

great, sometimes he looks like Jim Carrey :p

[caizaosuz]

His Yo Yo Ma impression makes him look so much like Jim Carey. Classic faces!

[qurinne]

funny expressions??

[dwmrcello]

I'm sure they all speak highly of you.....

[Elainelps0421]

@dwmrcello Well, some of them are dead, but at least one did:  Rostropovich - since he was his teacher.

[raptormancro]

hahaha, zakon :)

[SuPerRyz2]

What was the song he played when he was imitating Gutman?

[TheLxyx3]

Not only he is the greatest cellist in the world, but he is the most handsome one too!

[cellochick56]

lol!!! Yes....my brother asked me what it is I do with my mouth when I play....lol....now THAT is a loaded question!

[Kobenagoya]

He is soooo funny, hot, sexy, handsome.... and the greatest cellist on the planet!!

What else can you ask for?

[fadyadelnageeb]

MEAN MEAN MAN !!

[wilsa122791]

thank you! hahahahaha!

:D

[bestdiogoever]

Well the one for Jacqueline was kinda mean, wasn't some of her movement constricted because of MS?

[Purpl3O]

@bestdiogoever the movements he depicts came a few years before the onset of her MS

[Elainelps0421]

@bestdiogoever I doubt she played cello once she was diagnosed, sadly.

[melodyofLeCygne2]

Love his wink at 0:25 :)

[yangsta72]

I love the Yo Yo Ma imitation, partly because it's exactly like him

[BeitingCheng09]

LOL!!! I hope there were a video called "Imitating the Great Pianists" which definitely would include Glenn Gould!

[luna9951]

HAHHHHAH nice boys have funn!!! , and those stupid people who is not understand jokes dont put comments on this page! ok??? you are yellous!!¨!

[onlymeexd]

una vez intenté IMITAR A DU PRÉ...QUEDÓ LA....ROMPÍ EL PUENTE!!!

[bluz1231]

yo yo ma..hahaha,Majski ... bravo:))))you made my day:)

[SeattleCipher]

What was the piece he was playing when he was doing Rostropvich. My 11 year old figured that out and we don't know its name or where to find more of it.

[cellode]

@SeattleCipher It's the Bourree I from Cello Suite 3 in C maj by J. S. Bach--I wouldn't base my inperpretation on this performance, if I were your son, however!! Have a listen to the Rostropovich, it's wonderful. Gendron also has a wonderfully contrasting interpretation.

[Elainelps0421]

@cellode I doubt he would, either. In a serious mood, he probably plays more like Rostropovich - since he was his teacher.

[Derrymaine148]

check this video of hauser "Stjepan Hauser - Shostakovich Cello Sonata 2nd mov"

and you' ll see all those faces in one man's performance.

excellent music though ^_^

[ClassicalHands]

haha this made me laugh, plus his cello playing is fantastic :)

[zenbob]

Harsh, but accurate. I couldn't decide if this amused me or offended me. I always think it's dicey to make fun of great artists like these. What's the point? Maybe Segovia had "guitar face," too. Everyone has personal physical habits. Exaggerating them is the easiest, cheapest comedy. Hmm. Guess I decided on vaguely offended.

[Elainelps0421]

@zenbob Maybe someone asked him to?

[Christherpiper]

my god, i love the Rostropvich impression just not fast enough

[ceilygirlx3]

Jacqueline du Pre one was accurate (: nice job skipping from one piece to the elgar! xDDD

[jerryfess]

OMG lmao - your imitations are spot on - I laughed out lough with the Yo Yo Ma one! HAHAH! Love it!!!!

[muzicella]

:)))))) lmao @ Jacqueline

[TheTutinac]

Odlicno

[mfskarphedin]

Cheeky bugger!

[tejko25]

"Type PRIZE before youtube and hit enter"

[lizziedaylewis]

Rostropovich!

[Bobbiethejean]

OMG that guy is ridiculous! I love him though. XD

[chichi123xx]

HAHaHA the Yoyo one was my fave

[Thomascello]

This video is quite funny, really. But my problem with Mr. Hauser is that he is a parody himself. Watch him playing 3rd movement of Rachmaninov Sonata for instance. He is the summary of all those immitations, in one person.

[loonyat11]

Priceless... absolutely priceless... :-)

[Hyperventilacion]

How many times did you hit you head with your cello trying to play like Jacqueline? I did it a lot of times -.- it hurts!

[shh4]

yo yo ma killed me, and he looks like brain bangley

[kungfudancin]

lol at Mischa, that was so accurate

[laxmac4]

The looks on his face almost had me rolling on the floor...but on the other hand if u were to listen to this without looking u would never know he looks like he has ADHD. To the max

[ZonaZonaZona]

the faces ARE impressions for crying out loud!

[MusiClymax]

man those faces are insane, how doesnt he know hes doing them?

[jwunschie14]

I think this might be the best video ever

[mekuchika]

Natalia Gutman :)))))))))))))..sorry everibody,but it is realy very funny :D

[regaldrifter]

other than the deliberate imitation clauses, the cello has a really beautiful sound

[poppyshake]

Daniil Shafran looks pretty normal.

[ichiroku]

@poppyshake i think it's just the delayed and quick vibrato

[giyentstepp]

lol

[leftaroundabout]

Nice idea. It would be even more exciting to have the names displayed AFTER the corresponding imitations, so you could guess who is who. One could certainly have identified all of them, the gestures are unmistakable; though I'd say you'd have to think a bit harder if you only heard the cello sounds on their own. But after all, it's close to impossible to produce, for instance, a really accurate Rostropovich sound.

At any rate, he plays very well, which gets no easier when acting like this!

[markoTRIBIANI]

@leftaroundabout

well,he is the best young cellist in the world,stjepan hauser.

[allypooh93]

@markoTRIBIANI noooo i think i am even though im only 12 but im good

[VainillaChip]

What is the name of the piece that Stjepan Hauser plays when is imitating to Natalia Gutman ???? :D pleaseee

[Samuel16038]

@VainillaChip This is the first mov. of the cello concerto nº1 , D. Shostakovich, in E flat.

[MrTreylynch]

and one day you may find the emotions in music

[casalgomezmo]

TODOS TENEMOS DERECHO A DIVERTIRNOS...NO CREO QUE HAYA QUERIDO OFENDER A NADIE...HASTA IMITANDO A OTROS ES GENIAL !!!

[muslit]

Hauser is a very good cellist. And this video was a hoot. But when watching him play straight, I wonder who the real Hauser is. He's a combination of everyone he's imitated. Is there a Hauser in the house? Will the real Hauser please stand up?

[Wolfsrain90]

When it got to Jackie, and the black and white came on...*died*.

LMFAO.

[bigz250]

yo yo ma is so freakin funny

[alternatingcurrent23]

Which piece was Hauser playing for the Daniil Shafran impression?

[tomarel1]

Ma ciavete!

[TigerEyeBlade]

heys thats a bit dramatic!! Du Pre did not actually do that waving around her head stuff really!! but the rest is funny!

[glowingdevil]

AHAHAHAHAHA

this guy may be an ass, but he's a very funny ass, a very accurate ass, and he has the skills to back up his disses!!! LOL - tastic video maestro!

[frooben]

you ass

[kianskiputz92]

@joncaju jim carrey played cello? :P

[RoosvDeur]

Really funny!!

But he is very good though!

[kolopaper123]

It's just a way of expression ! But ok...we can laugh with this !

[rammunyte]

He has a Talent and it's obviously! :)

[mesimusic]

soo true! hilarious!

[IPawnt]

Yo Yo Ma and Rostropovich were decent...

[xoxomaja27xoxo]

Does anybody know the song name for the second artist.

[TheShahriyar]

@xoxomaja27xoxo

it's 3rd cello suite by J.S.Bach

best

[MsCellobass]

that is good! Hilarious!!

[sergicello1993]

The best is Yo-Yo Ma, Rostropovich but the more difficult is playing with the face of Jaqueline Du Pré jajaajaa very good

[bluegirl123321]

LOL!! Oh my gosh I hate how accurate these are. But if you are a cellist you find yourself making weird faces before you know it. I actually was playing a new piece of music and my friend said, "Why did you start making those faces?" I guess it just comes with any instrument.

[jnfan2011]

@bluegirl123321 shows his comedic as well as talented side.... :)

[yep2yel]

@bluegirl123321 Even pianists do it...but that's not sad? Cool.

[69spinespindle]

BRILLIANT

[pikachoi2007]

you'll make more money with that... lol. great job though c'',)

[Gyurme25]

Very funny...!!!

[regaldrifter]

OMFG I LOVE YOU

[100violinista]

GREAT IMITATION!!!! JAJAJA!!! I LIKE JAQUELIN DUPRE AND YOYOMA

[aehsi]

o_o <(...)

[CelloMusic4ever]

0:05 - 0:28 "Wash wash wash wash wash wash..." I love that little wink at the end too =)

[darobsta]

Would have been better without breaking character at the end of every impersonation! Still enjoyed it though.

[eefebel]

Hahaha, he is amazing! Love it

[symphonicrevolution]

also, 2:16 !!

[symphonicrevolution]

yo-yo ma is so good

[tarantellaonline]

HAHA Stjepan played like Jim Carrey on cello.

[classifieds103]

HAHA you went from Bouree to Elgar with Ms. Du Pre.. I LOVE how it's in black and white.. hahahaha

[experneo2]

haahahaahahah 

[javigafas]

you are the best! xD but you can make a video imitating "apocalyptica" cellists :)

[cordasdivinas]

kkk.. great!!!!

[ARIandINBI]

HAHAHAHAHA cant stop laughing
