Bach: Cello Suite No.5-1 / Yo-Yo Ma (1997)

[CreamDry]

Best cello suite...Fantastic,

[LthDa1]

how much is the cello tuned down?

[magicrainyday]

@LthDa1 : 415 Hz probably

[MyVersionOfReality]

This isn't dark enough. Yoyoma didn't capture it well enough... the version on Blood+ is perfect.

[leon5516]

@MyVersionOfReality you are right ...but i like this on too

[RadioactiveMicrobe]

@MyVersionOfReality Er...that is a different piece. Cello Suite No 5 in C minor BWV 1011. Hence the tone, different key.

[Xxedwin818xx]

hmm thiss is something leo would like

[OobreakevenoO]

beautiful.

simply breathe taking...

[TGBFD]

I love Yo-Yo Ma interpretations ery much.He has so natural sound and plays very natural and sincere.And Prelude ends in Major C! So it goes into Light and Victory!

[xKurrupted]

gassyjeff made me laugh and killed the music lover mood. ):<

[gassyjeff]

just jizzed

[F0reseer]

this piece has such dark anguish to it....and expressed by one single instrument. I'm speechless.

[PsyogiBottoms]

And that is why man created the Cello. ;?)

[karrakis]

@F0reseer

What's really crazy is that in a very real sense, all recordings of this movement are just shadows of it. To really hear the movement it needs to be live and in a church. A lot of those low notes are actually used as pedal-tones, which the sanctuary walls bounce around in a way that actually adds chords and melodic lines to the piece.

Bach had been writing church music for years when he got around to these, and he knew how to use the acoustics as a second instrument.

[momorocks101]

I listen to this alot.

[milhousezchick]

i love this song and the picture of the sunflower is coo!

[Joce397]

It's most ironic

[faithcello]

You need a new picture. This music doesn't go with flowers and sunshine.

[thordrianee]

@faithcello SERIOUSLY.

[jacquelinescellist]

listen to 3:45-3:59 most complex detail of counterpoint and so pure and powerful

[bene1007]

Your name arouses my curiosity.......are you, by any chance, one of Jackie duPre's students?

[Brahmanfire]

Wow....

[0cerpintaxt0]

i dont know, i dont know a lot of classic music. but i think that what i heard from back is very tight, strict, or disciplined i dont know how to name it. but i can tell this for sure my ears are having a massage, so pleasant to hear this.

[zerout]

Is this just a repost?

[AbeTakawa]

この暗さが胸に染み入るようで

なんかいいと思う・・・

[xXxKayokoxXx]

[snake1141]

Is your real name Seamus Heaney by any chance?

[pasta296]

I dig with my pen.

[alternativetraceur]
