J S Bach Suite II Prelude and Allemande Shaheen Malick

[hezixiao]

Hey, I'm playing this right now, The sound you make just reminds me of the great cello masters! Very musical and natural! This is the best way to use the skills! Bravo!

[xshdwdragunx]

i know this is 2 years ago but...some things to work on:

open A sounds bad

over time u began to get a little bit forceful

overall i liked it! :D

[nickzambrano]

I'm a guitarist and I'm jealous of the Cello's sound. Its so deeeep.

[vladimirroumen1988]

I am absolutely impressed with your technique. I have ready through some of the comments here. I think a fair and objective critique of your music (not sure if you need any!) should take into account the fact that, occasionally, the emphasis on virtuosity and technique can be detrimental to the musical content and substance.

Please express emotions- the piece that you are playing was meant to evoke love... :)

[musicient]

this is quite mature for someone this young. I hear a lot of Casals. Good job.

[DaveGrossmanSoloBass]

Very nice playing.

[haselaa]

Hey dude, iam 14 to you need to get into it more. Dont play for anyone but yourself.

[xshdwdragunx]

i cant agree more

[scarlettspectrums]

absoulutely brilliant. though i wonder why he shows no visible passion for his instrument.

[cassandra5322]

NICE

[celloplayingfool]

Wooah. I am about your age.. and I play the cello. I suck compared to you... where on earth did you get your cello!?

[WuuFred]

I play the cello, too. After watching that, I realized that I suck. Pretty bad.

[musicbudha]

You are a great performer with a beautiful, lyrical tone and uncannily accurate intonation. Even the best cellists slip up when playing high on their top string, but not you. You were so close to the fingerboard in a range that would be high for the viola, but still on pitch.

Amazing young man!

You made a slow melody sing, dig into fast passages without sacrificing accuracy, and kept taste to your phrasing.

Keep up the great work.

[cello4ever]

a bit soft for my taste but he played it well. Try to keep with the rhythm. Your left hand is amazing. Try to work on colours and tension for bowing and then you will sound even better! Keep up the fantastic work!

[Farandor]

He moves like a robot

[cellospot]

Good job, Shaheen. Keep going! Technically, you're great, but it'll be a few years more before you understand the work and really be able to make it sing.

[AlamoCityCello]

Fine Job Shaheen!

[thecritiquevirtuoso]

wow your brilliant better then some people like this john stuart guy

[silentnocturne]

like the way he plays.. and i'm trying very hard to match up to him >.< his vibrato is superb

[StefanKnapik]

well done shaheen - your degree of sensitivity to the music is most definitely advanced for your age

[AngelinHell]

Wow, that a great! Wish I could play like that. ^_^'

But, is it just me, or does the cello seem a bit too small for him?

[NiNtEnDoMaD]

I'm 14 also and I played that piece for my grade 6 cello exam. It was fun.

[doctorh2005]

that is lush! Im playing that for my Grade 8 viola exam! :)

thanks for playing it!

What a brillant perfomance! Is this prodigy well-know in the US? his playing seems to be better than those of so-called great cellists. This video clip has become my daily bread.

[wolfgangcello]

This boy isn't a prodigy by any means. And he is no where CLOSE to the great cellists like Casals. His playing is very impressive, though.

Keep up the great work, Shaheen!

[imalick]

he is 14

[silentnocturne]

i wonder how old he is. :|

[musicman92]

really like casals
