Thats what grandpa did in Nam' boy...

[Christherpiper]

does anyone know if he tuned his A-string to the G? or was he playing it as a standard string tuning?

[bihonning]

If you like this, just wait and listen to the Danish cellist Erling Blöndal Bengtsson. NO-ONE in the world has surpassed or will surpass his playing of these six Bach suites. He does not play them; -he b r e a t h e s  them.

[777pass777]

Beautiful. He is amazing. I have tears in my eyes

[ggarzagarcia]

que chido, muy buen ejemplo para nosotros trombonistas bajos, en especial con estos audiciones profesionales...viva slava!!!

[friendlyman6969]

For a great surprise, please, compare with Tatjana Vassiljeva's live rendition of the same peace on Youtube!

[Pieteramsterdam]

This is a reason why there should be a heaven

................... so Rostropovitch can play in there

Celebrate this day guys, it's a new beginning ;-)

[CruzGaspar]

Who never tried to vocalized this great piece?

[jordanviach]

i'm learning this piece on guitar. but after this, i don't want to play it...guitar

just isn't up to the task.

it's true..."the song of the cello is an elegie".

[troelsnybo]

Danish cellist Morten Zeuthen called this movement "divine algebra". For my own part I can say that it is wonderful, although a bit difficult, to hum. Pure musical therapy.

[yodavidnavarro]

Magnifique!

[hypsophilus]

There's Bach's signature at measures 13&14.

Listen to the higher voice: B.A.C.H.

[Jangof3tt]

For those of you who don't know, the H is represented by a B flat

[cieslikdavinci]

B natural man B means B flat.

[Jangof3tt]

Damn, I was hoping someone wouldn't notice lol my bad

[xklamation]

Beautiful, everything is right, the time and the place, and so different from some contemporary performers like yo-yo ma. It's the best, most fluid, amazing version I have ever heard. thank you for the share

[happygolucky2000]

sorry but there were a few ugly notes

[calvin441]

Thank you Slava

[AinuriMadness666]

[cassandra5322]

the vibrato and the echo-y walls really make this so sincere and beautiful! look at him soaking up the musical juices!

[guiwalrus]

Amaaazing!

[xXTiberiusXx]

this is the one true way to express yourself as Rostropovich has done. It's so sad he is gone now. god bless him

[davidwendell1]

Beautiful.  He was the greatest.
