Cameraperson - PLEASE... Too tight - I get seasick on all those tight shots changing every 0.974 seconds. And, I DON'T want all those closeups of the right hand. What the heck were you thinking. Cut off after about a minute, and can't watch again...
@stuff4dollas Yeah Im curious to know whats wrong with it. Thats as good as it gets, and to go at that tempo for that long without any sign of fatigue is astonishing. He got 2nd place at Rostropovich Competition for a reason.
This is the best interpretation of the Elfentanz I ever seen. The sound is beautiful, the speed technique is fantastic! I want, if i could, to be a cellist like you and to have this brilliant speed technique.Thank you!
why does this have the stupidest camera angles of all time? I dont wanna be looking at his right hand do the same spiccato movement more than half the time. On a different note, one of the best Elfentanz on Youtube.
Julian Steckel won the first prize in the ARD International Music Competition 2010. (Former winners include Jessye Norman, Francisco Araiza, Natalia Gutman, Christoph Eschenbach, Nobuko Imai, Mitsuko Uchida, Thomas Quasthoff, Yuri Bashmet, Christian Tetzlaff, ...)
sin duda es el mejor video que vi en youtube...la calidad del video es asombrosa y se escucha excelente....la musica es espectacular.. que lastima que no se puedan poner 1000 estrellas de puntaje

This performance matches even Rostropovich's too bad the only available movie here is not Rostropovich's best performance....

Keep at it... it's one of those threshold pieces where it's impossible until it's easy.

The only performance of this piece that was better was the one by Rostropovich.

@gpaese lies, this interpretation is a step up from rostropovich, it was much cleaner and better parsed.
