@porpoisefathom Exactly. I love Slava, but he plays much as an older person would; strict and by the book. Maisky definitely puts (or shows) his heart in it.
@Linzoidteh1337 yes actually there is something called "amusia" which is a medical condition causing the inability to distinguish pitch or remember melodies. However, for most people that are "tone deaf", the problem is lack of attention to detail.
where can i download this???? i realized Mischa Maisky (the guy playing) plays this song 1 minute slower. others play it fast that it ends at 3:30 which i dislike.
@JayWilliamThompson The Tuba was invented in 1835, so there is no Baroque era music written for it. So in order to play a baroque piece, one has to find another piece and transcribe it for tuba. This is easily done with cello music because they both play in bass clef and at concert pitch.
@iles127 that's awesome! i play euphonium, and have played through many of these suites (admittedly, i haven't worked any up to performance level) and the biggest challenge is breathing. you'll want to work on carefully mapping out breaths, and improving lung capacity. or circular breathing.
@levleung2000 His cello is amazing! Listen to something from Jacqueline du pre who has used the same cello. And she handled it extremely well. Very very well. I love the way she played. It's a terrible loss for her to stop playing to MS. I wish she was alive if she wasn't diagnosed with it. She could've been anything she wanted in the musical field.
@TheSideflip Mstislav Rostropovich was Mischa Maisky's teacher for a while and said that Miska was an absolutely talented young man. Mischa plays with so much more passion than yo yo ma. (my opinion)
@Linzoidteh1337 Wrong. I had an excellent musical ear but since recently I have a problem in the brains and sometimes I hear but can not recognise word or tone. At these moments the sound comes in strange colors. How you explain that? My neurologist can not explain.
I'm interested as to where I can get this version. A lot of professional musicians that I've watched play have different bowings than the ones in my book of all the Bach suites.
@mcrflyleafdisturbed This is because there is no manuscript autographed by Bach which has not been lost. The closet copy to the source was that made by Bach's second wife Anna Magdelena Bach, but even her edition contains errors. Long story short, without a firm standard copyists and performers have taken endless liberties with bowings and other forms of expression.
Why do i love the preludes so much more? and shut up with the "8 people are tone deaf" and other utter bullshit it. Focus on the music not the critics
Excuse me: how does anyone NOT like this? I am counting 7 dislikes, which I could only understand if they said they hit the wrong key. Other than that it is unthinkable. What is it that's wrong? Cello playing does not get better than this. May be just as good, but better is simply hard to believe.
@wilsonviola i dont remember writing such, im sorry. the only thing i said was "practice XD im learning this song myself, and the bowing has to be as textured as wood let as smooth as a clean slate."
but anyway, can we all stop arguing and enjoy this work of "art"?
On the contrary, I know that Yo Yo Ma is a master. And Maskie here, isn't in the same league. And that's the entire issue. Maskie the turd is floating in a sea of mediocrity.
@sidhammered I think you got me wrong. I didn't say anything about interpretation! In fact even though I do not particularly like his interpretation there are many interesting things about it which I would not have come up with myself.
I have learned to interpret Bach on base of thorough examination. Artists, as you call them, my set impulses but I would never find anyone's Bach entirely "correct" because I, like everyone, will always have a different understanding.
@firebird1924 I am so tired of people like you who insist on looking down upon artistic interpretations of Bach. I can't believe that anyone would say "I do know what Bach meant." Are you kidding me? You have no clue what Bach meant, and this statement just shows an incredible ignorance. Music is written by composers to be interpreted by ARTISTS, so who is to say that any particular interpretation is "correct." Like or dislike it on it's musicality or emotional affect, not it's "correctness."
@RacingStude Yeah, well, most your generation doesn't understand baroque music anyways. Especially in America. If you did any basic music history research you would know this is so far from what Bach wrote.
i think this is a damnnn inspiring ha looking at this piece and attempting it, i think he does it a whole lot of justice! i certainly cant play this prelude at this level!! cut him some slack or put up your own recording of you playing it better
i think this is a damnnn inspiring ha looking at this piece and attempting it, i think he dioes it good justice! i certainly cant play this preluede at this level!! cut him some slack or put up your own recording of you playing it better
@porpoisefathom It's a school of thought to raise the elbow/shoulder high when playing on an instrument. Generally though, the vast majority of us musicians cannot do so for a long period of playing and/or have a great career because it does not promote longevity. So the "rules" that you probably learned still apply to yourself, unless you find yourself playing at a genius level with your shoulder high.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you don't know me or my musical skill. But anyway, your premise is idiotic. Are you suggesting that you can't criticize a movie unless you've produced one, or criticize a book unless you've written one, or judge gymnastics unless you are a gymnast, or prefer one musician over another unless you are better than both of them? Your comment is a logical abyss.
@sheepgoatdogcat Fine, let's see you demonstrate your precious musical skill.
As for my comment, it was more focused on respect in general for distinguished musicians who have obviously made it to their successful careers for a good reason. Saying that Mischa Maisky "is NOT a good cello player." is nothing short of purely incendiary thinking, and is not an actual criticism nor demonstrable of an enviable mindset to possess. I did not SAY that you had to be up to his level to critique him. Only
that you would have to respect his level of prestige and success REGARDLESS of whether or not you disagree with his playing style, or even if you'd much rather listen to another performer. Yo Yo Ma, in my opinion, doesn't do Bach nearly as much justice as Maisky, Starker, Rostropovich, or Bylsma... but I acknowledge readily that he is a professional-level cellist and has earned his rank, and would not even THINK to call him a bad cellist.
Thank you, this is exactly my point. I don't believe for a second that he has obtained success for good reason. It's not clear at all why he has become successful. On the surface, all I see is a sub-par cello player, but for some reason he was recorded by Deutsche Grammophone, and I have no idea why. I mean, I respected DG, but they recorded this numbnut moron, and then market him? It makes no sense. I have his recordings of the cello suites, have heard them, and hate them.
I'm not sure I would call him a bad cello player per se. All I'm saying is that there are many many cello players that are better. No doubt he has some people in high places in order to have gotten his recording contracts. He is part of an ethnic group that is famous for only hiring their own kind.
I'd call him mediocre. For someone to dress up in a tuxedo, and play in a room like that, and have a recording contract, and be really famous, and have long hair and generally act like a queer, they had better be really really good. But he's mediocre at best. He needs a reality check.
@sheepgoatdogcat By no means is this my favorite recording of this piece (I happen to love Rostropovich's a lot more), but to say Maisky is not a good cello player puts in doubt the level of your sanity and the musical quality of your taste. To put it bluntly, he is excellent--perhaps not the best, I would agree--but nevertheless excellent. I also don't know if you were implying that Yo-Yo Ma is only slightly better, as he is one of the best in the world as well. And before you ask, yes,
I can't avoid to think that when Bach composed this movement he thought: "If you think the prelude in my first suite was beautiful, wait until you hear this one".
the cello suites are the best example of bach's best musical attributes. they're totally free-form, yet completely tamed by a logical beat and pattern. no wonder jazz artists use his music so much:0
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I have been taught this piece by my mentor and I performed this and the Bouree for the OMEA solo and Ensemble contest. For a freshman that has played since 6th grade and received a 2, I think I did very well.
Can you imagine a piece of art without an ispiration? It would be a blank wall, a single note, if that. There would be no art in this world without emotion behind to back it up. Think before you spew thoughtless bits next time, please
what can one say other than OMG! my favorite prelude, preferred with Casal, but this caught my ear. Mischa Maisky studied with Rostropovich and Rostropovich studied with Casal- so go figure!!
I totally agree with you, you can rarely say that something is played "wrong" in classical music because it's been written so long ago and current documents might not be totally accurate. If a piece sounds good, is all that really matters and his interpretations I think sound much better than Pablo Casals'.
in fact this is the 3rd and final version i'm listening to today and he is the only one that i didn't think "he could have milked those phrases for way more"
of all the recordings i've listened to this is my favorite.
I get goosebumps when he hits that C string.

@thecrapshoot - yea, it has emotion if you're a complete fucking faggot. otherwise, its just good music.

@jatora Of course it has emotion
Can you imagine a piece of art without an ispiration? It would be a blank wall, a single note, if that. There would be no art in this world without emotion behind to back it up. Think before you spew thoughtless bits next time, please

what can one say other than OMG! my favorite prelude, preferred with Casal, but this caught my ear. Mischa Maisky studied with Rostropovich and Rostropovich studied with Casal- so go figure!!

gotta love the chords and phrasing at 1:50. Dynamite piece there, Misha.

@1992jakethomas I have to agree, 1:50 is amazing.

I totally agree with you, you can rarely say that something is played "wrong" in classical music because it's been written so long ago and current documents might not be totally accurate. If a piece sounds good, is all that really matters and his interpretations I think sound much better than Pablo Casals'.

in fact this is the 3rd and final version i'm listening to today and he is the only one that i didn't think "he could have milked those phrases for way more"
of all the recordings i've listened to this is my favorite.
