  • beautiful music

  • The feeling... It's almost like the Mule and his Psycholyre....

  • Awww I miss playing the cello soo much. Used to practice this piece a lot... :'(

  • Certified Intergalactic!

  • Absolutely beautiful!

    

  • ulul

  • heargasm.

  • @MrAzBouby hairgasm*

  • snow button! Bach has snowflakes everywhere now :3

    hahahaha ^__^

  • Beautiful............!!!

  • video is great, but the audio and video aren't in sync

  • i understand you

  • i've played cello 25 yeares ago

  • OCT: I love playing the cello every day. It makes me feel important and beautiful at the same time. Paine: You're lucky I even let you keep that cello. Instruments are contraband. e_e

  • @ResPainkiller i know how you feel :D the only time i feel important and beautiful is when i m playing my bass,cello, or harp <3

  • dint get me wrong this is a beautiful piece of music but why is the vids in the suggestion bar a buncha vaginal child birth vids?

  • So beautiful. It makes me miss playing cello all the more.

  • Look at how effortlessly he moves his bow; and it's such a rich tone. I cannot describe how I feel when this man plays. This is such a breathtaking instrument.

  • Comment removed

  • I love his playing this is just amazing.

  • Why are the top comments so stupid. This isn't about the beard or the affro. Its about this beautiful piece of music. Is this what the world has turned into? A bunch of humans who have no idea the beauty of this or of beauty itself, which this is. We need to close our eyes and rethink everything. PLEASE!

  • @GrazinBuffalo I was just thinking that myself. This could very well be best piece of music ever written, and all they care about is his (admittedly awesome) 'fro.

  • @GrazinBuffalo

    Holy sweet fuck, you're a pompous shit. Maybe you should develop some self awareness, or better yet humour, before you determine what Mankind needs.

    Btw, his afro is amazing and entertaining as shit; you'd notice this if you weren't so busy wanking yourself

  • @GrazinBuffalo your comment is too about afro and beard, you genius ;/

  • @GrazinBuffalo It's cause it's the fucking internet. Idiots everywhere, having the feel of freedom to do whatever they want cause nobody can see them. Curse them all!

  • you are completely right!!!..

  • @GrazinBuffalo I personally love the way his afro bounces when he plays so magnificently. :)

  • Certified Intergalactic! I hereby name a star after Mischa Maisky, to be called the Maisky Star.

  • For those below currently brandishing their youtube doctorates, kindly remove the corncob from your ass and enjoy a piece of music that you cannot play and thus can't criticize.

  • Psh. It's all in the beard. Everyone knows that.

  • Very good performance. I enjoyed it very much, the tempo, the style and passion he puts leave evidence of his skills.

  • he is just overacting... i play this too with violin and im 15 and its no something you you would shake your head constantly... really

    but i appreciate the talent :)

  • @chapinlest You do not shake your head due to the fact that you are not so much expressive (possibly). Nevetheless, everyone express their emotions in different ways. So you can not say that he is just overacting.

  • Comment removed

  • @chapinlest You're 15, he's 63 and has been playing since he was 14 - so he has more experience in his little finger than you have your entire body, plus some.. so, in all fairness, you're in no position to criticise, ever if such body motions seem superfluous. Besides, it's hard to shake your head with a violin, seeing as your chin is resting on it. If it bothers you so much, try shaking your ass to the melody... beats looking like a statue.

  • @MarcusBritish its not about age, its not about experiences, its about sense of rhythm. so in this platform, everyone is equal and everyone can be criticized with respect - i didn't swear, i didn't insult but i appreciate talent. i love this suit, i love the way he plays, but i didn't like the fact that he kept moving in THIS piece. he didn't stand still for a moment. thats what bugged me, so no need to go rough on me.

  • @chapinlest Well, first of all I wasn't "rough". Secondly, it was you who brought up age, so if it's "not about age", why did you bother? And experience is always a key element in respecting a performer; there's a huge difference between a newbie with 1 year experience playing at home and school, and a pro with 25 years of playing with orchestras all over the world. Finally, the reason he's moving is because he's throwing himself into the piece, making it emotional, rather a dry, dull rehearsal.

  • @MarcusBritish Everybody has a different way of expressing themselves through music. He does by moving. I DO THE SAME THING! And there is a need to go rough ( If you want to call it that) on you. I f you don't like the way he moves scroll down the page and listen to the music.

  • @zakattackize Qué? It would help if you responded to the right person...

  • Respond to this video... He is excellent. I also second the beard. Awsome.

  • whoa... did you see that? 4:31

  • MATEUS 21 : 5

    Dizei à filha de Sião: Eis que o teu Rei aí te vem, Manso, e assentado sobre uma jumenta, E sobre um jumentinho, filho de animal de carga.

  • @sowhat123 fucking idiot

  • @Tpainkiller21 Its a JOKE. CALM DOWN. and enjoy the music. He does look like Osama you have to admit.

  • Pff esplendido sonido para dioses

  • maravilloso!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • its karkarof!

  • Does this guy have a different bow hold or am I just seeing it different since i play bass?

  • @hkoncelik if this beautiful music is the result then by all means use this hold lol

  • if i may ask what is this man's full name

  • just had to cry because I played it 7 years ago...

  • So great. Whenever I hear Bach's cello suites, I want to learn cello, but I play violin. Oh, I wish I could have a good cello too!! I bought a cheapo one at $499 and it ended up being a big, space taking piece of junk that ended up hurting my hand when I tried to play it >.< coz the bridge was way high and I didn't know a thing about cello then. Anyone know a good cello brand at 800 to 1,000 that comes with professional set up on the internet? thanks hehe : ) price limit 2,000

  • @DesiFuyuko i had a high bridge problem and had the bridge sandpapered down by a professional luthier. i bought a better bow made a world of difference to my student cello. even a little thing like a good brand of rosin helps. why dont you try getting the bridge corrected first.

  • @bachsxoxogirl Yeah the bridge was hish and the fingerboard low. Still the fingerboard is low, but with lower birdge it feels better. Also, I found out the bow it came with is fake hair, and it makes it harder to grip the strings or something I hear. I'm going to change this things and see ^ ^

  • @DesiFuyuko nah fake hair, nylon probably, that wont do at all... you need the real one with horse hair.

  • @DesiFuyuko Did you know they translated the music into a violin version? Though I think this is best played on a cello with it's beautiful warm tones- but if you want to play it on the violin you can :)

  • @AmberLeeena Yes, I downloaded the sheet music the other day and started learning it. It's simple and fun to play on violin ^ ^ But it's originally for cello, so one day I'd like to play it with cello too <3

  • @DesiFuyuko YES play it on the cello! That would be awesome :)

  • @DesiFuyuko A westbury cello is a wellknown brand and is within your price range

  • He cracks me up! Love this piece, and brilliant interpretation!

  • The Josh Groban of the cello world, I've just decided (Perhaps a bit older XD).

  • Jesus is GOOD at the cello!

  • @Augoree123 smh xD

  • Rostropovich didn't that 'FRO!

  • è vicenza! la mia città <3

  • There are times in this song where I keep expecting him to break into the tune for Tenacious D's 'Classico' , and start screaming it, or something.

  • @Panzervagon

    that's because tenacious D's classico is actually a bourree by bach ;)

  • It's so clean...

  • Mischa Maisky takes Bach to the level he should be at.

  • I'm playing this for an audition on bassoon and I must say it sounds very beautiful on both bassoon and cello. :)

  • el mejor chellista del mundo (the best cellist in the world)

  • His movements are so precise that for a minute I had to seriously wonder if the video was choppy.

  • How does he hit each note, on every string, even in second position with such precision???

  • Practicing²³ , and loving the music !

  • Jesus... figuratively, literally, and metaphorically.

  • Ohkay.. I love love looove this! I have to play this song on Violin for a solo cuz I missed a performance... Amazing!!

  • im the 1000th person to like.. lol

  • after watching this video i learned that....... WHITE PPL GROW AFROS TOO!!!!!!!!!

  • @BADNEWS91261 It is very generalizing to believe anything else.

  • Comment removed

  • Is he in a real ancient room? Because in each Cello suite, hi is on the same wooden platform, but a diffrent room, unless he just brings a piece of wood around to greece and itally and rome, I think that that is a green screen.

  • @cubeaman maybe he doesn't want the cello slipping away on a slidey floor. Perhaps he really is that good that he has a little bit of ideal floor shipped around with him :)

  • @potentperson alternatively, perhaps each video shows a different wall of the same room? lol

  • @potentperson Thats what Donuts are for! xD Its a platform that makes the sound louder by bounces xD

  • hahah im listening to this delicious music.. meanwhile my brother's listening to britney spears upstairs. who would you say has better taste?

  • @lespaul421 haha there is no real question there!

  • i love playing violin, but i could never get the sound of a cello from it.... :( i think i'll just learn the cello :D

  • i love the face @4:33

  • Amazing. Im doing that song for my violin solo.

  • omfg that tone is just godly. What an amazing cellist. lol time to go practice XD

  • I really want to play the cello. I play the alto saxophone now.

  • @ARWstrength Me too. lmao. I play alto saxophone and piano!

  • I'm currently a senior in high school who plays the (French horn)horn and I recently learned to play this and it has become one of my favorite pieces to play. :) I just think it's so awesome how my horn and his cello can play the same piece but both instruments make it sound so beautiful in their own ways.

  • this guy has a wicked beard.... jealous

  • i want to play this

    imma cello player

  • I love this. :D I'm a violinist but I'm going to ask my parents if I can take private cello lessons this summer!

  • that face hair is glorious.

    almost as glorious as his head hair.

    which isn't nearly as awesome as his cello skills.

  • his face expresions are halerious

  • That beard... I want! 0.o

  • He had an orgasm face through nearly the entire song.

  • I have played the cello (broke the cycle) since second grade and I am now a freshman in high school. I actually have to play this in class tomorrow. Listening to this has helped me fine tune my overall tonal quality and articulation. He perfectly presents and shows the characteristics the Baroque Era as a whole.

  • Haha, I remember having this as my solo in 6th grade.

  • omg i play the cello and my cello always sounds so scratchy!!!!! omfgosh!!!!!!!!!! rage

  • I'd love to learn how to play Bach's Cello Suites on electric bass.

  • Fantastic performance. Well done.

  • 4:31

  • I love his head motions =D... great song

  • Mr. Ma plays this too fast. This rendition is outstanding.

  • I really like the extra note you added at 0:28. It adds so much more to the piece! :D

  • March is Bach month; we all benefit from his craft. Mike Maloney in Westminster Maryland.

    Maloney Violin Studio

  • Not even in the near of Rastropovich.

  • White Fro can play this crap better than anyone else I've seen on Youtube....Cello rules

  • Esto es la musica que vale la pena oir!!!

  • Esto es la musica que vale la pena oir!!!

  • ...Excuse me but... He is cute xDD His photo hangs on my cello class' wall and each time I look at him I start to laugh and I guess that it's one of the reasons why my teacher thinks I'm a freak xD Such a poor man... He's got like 5 or 6 girls only and each of us acts as if she had some mental illness... And only one of us has got anything like talent and of course it's not me xD

  • This is my piece for solo and ensemble on the saxophone...It kind of makes me want to die because it so difficult.

  • I wish I could play the cello... I'm a contrabass player. Pretty much the same thing, though I like the cello better.

  • @Norman765r

    No, no. Two completely different things.

  • Chuck Norris looks funny with that hair.

  • I knew Bob Ross never died! He just assumed a new identity as a cello player!

  • nice hair

  • im playin this solo on tenor saxophone

  • @EriKdaG00Dgai weird song for a sax

    

  • @EriKdaG00Dgai The saxophone & the cello are a beautiful combination :)

  • I played this Bourree as a solo on the violin, and this variation sounds just as good!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

  • 0:08 =part from mario theme

  • @hateme668 this song was made at least 50 years before the mario theme so its this should be on the mario theme song saying hey look its that part from bach cello suite no.3 v-bourree

  • @ResidentEvil9125

    Closer to 300 years rather than 50 in case you're interested in learning. :)

  • i'm playing this on the violin... thank you for posting this

  • The guy could use a nice pair of boots. Highwaters and granny socks kinda take away the wow factor.

  • @bolognadetector

    at least he's comfortable

  • @bolognadetector its called a tux... get some class, then comment on this video

  • @pilotenhandboek

    Sheesh. Lighten up. I was just kidding.

  • I dont think their is a better cellist than he who plays in this video thats alive

  • I think that when someone harshly criticises another they have, in so doing, said goodbye to any spiritual understanding of great music. "Backbiting quencheth the light of the heart, and extinguisheth the life of the soul" - Bahá'u'lláh

  • It's always the people who don't have any uploads of their own performances that put down others.

  • I have to play this piece in February :) it's very fun to play and very beautiful, but I am by no means anywhere near as good as him ^ Oh well!

  • this fool has no idea of what bach's music is. he plays only the surface... he is trapped by his technique... but in the modern classical world he is pretty good, but this is not bach, it is an ignorant fool with good rhythm and technique..would bach write such boring music' no way

  • @3677peter do you really think that everyone has extreme depth while playing? by the look on his face, looks like he is pretty into it. modern conservatorium players are usually 'trapped on the surface', however they still try and break that barrier. So before you go and call him a fool, think about it einstein

  • @XLR8rox he was a fool to let himself be trained into something anti-music, i meant it in the sense of fool! fool! wake up!

  • Check out some of his newer videos, he somehow became an even better musician. Though it makes me sad that he lost his epic beard...

  • i wish i could play the cello.. Im a piano player.

  • @renski1792 It's never too late :P

  • @renski1792 I went from piano to cello. It's really not that hard to pick up, so long as you have prior musical knowledge.

  • Start learning ...if you like it then why not just give it a try :)

  • @renski1792

    i don't see anyone telling you not to

  • @renski1792

    We have the same story! 

  • @renski1792 I wish I could play the piano...I'm a cellist :D let's trade

  • @Selesify haha ok deal! :D

  • @Selesify i play both! but i prefer the cello. people say that playing the piano gives you loads of oppertunities, and i guess it does, i play in a band with piano. but i love my cello, and its about how you play it, and how you feel about playing it, about your emotions. x

  • @renski1792 No ones stopping you ;).

  • @renski1792 So do I, but I'm a violinist :) I've managed to play the first cello suite after scouring the internet, and this bourre is in the third suzuki book :D So I'm happy, but I'm definitely going to learn the cello some day. And then because of that I'll now the treble and bass cleff so I won't have trouble with the piano. l

  • @renski1792 I wish I could play piano, I'm a cello player.

  • @renski1792 same but i play violin

  • @renski1792 haha same here :)

  • @renski1792 I wish I could play Piano, I'm a cello player.

  • @MoontouchedOwlBeast lucky, i wish i could play the cello, i play viola (the cycle goes on)

  • @cutehippy16 maybe this guy wants to play the viola :p doing your best with what you have is what makes you perform great. if you don't you'll feel insecure on stage. I played the violin for 4 years, then flute and viola for 1-1/2 years. and I taught myself piano during summer. my result: i'm not great at either one, except the violin. I've wanted to try the oboe and the cello, just for fun, but i really hope to get back with violin and flute. have a good day :)

  • @renski1792 I wish I could play the piano.. I'm a saxophone player. eh.. yeah, that didn't make sense. I play this piece on sax (see clip) ..yes, that's what got me here :-) nice version by Mischa actually

  • @renski1792 never too late to start... or to answer a comment lol

  • @renski1792 i am nothing but i started playing the piano and a wanna learn violin so you are still good
