[Bigbug123456]

His boccherini cello concerto in Bb is monumental as well.Excellent cadenza he wrote himself :)

Nice pizz lmao!

[MegaIluzija]

brate, nema preko njega!

[hunny0park]

Proud to call him my professor :)

[terrygowork]

Only genius notices Starker is a genius. High quality stuff. His music is attached to one's mind without excessive or even fake emotional attachment

[jwunschie14]

Perfect and very musical, but I wish he made a bit more dynamic contrast in the Adagio

[heresiarcas]

Fa... que nivel..

[Quinnsmash]

Black Adder! Black Adder! 8:05

[Oathkeeper1992]

He's great....but the only problem I have with him, and other great cellists like him (especially ones that come from Slavic countries) are too rough with some of the baroque and classical music. They just don't know how to treat. He's just too heavy and sustains too much for the earlier classical style this was written for.

@Oathkeeper1992

First of all, Starker is Hungarian and Hungary is not a Slavic country. (Learn your geography.) Second of all you should be so lucky to be able to play the cello and music like Starker. He phrasing and articulation is perfect and perhaps you need to listen a bit more careful. But for sure please be careful to make ignorant comments about geniuses such as Starker.

Thank you for sharing this marvelous performance which has been a joy to listen to!

[IsaacH1273]

i will be forever saddened by the fact that janos starker never collaborated with heifetz on a recording. these are the two most accomplished musicians of the 20th century. dominate their instruments better than any other musician.

[symphonicrevolution]

Oh my GOD, this is so technically amazing.

[AlamoCityCello]

This the BEST version of this work.

my 2 cents.

[artvalidator09]

He's marvelous...

[davidgee100]

I heard him demonstrate this at Yale in a small room during a master class. To me,. Starker was at his best on Boccherini and contemporary music. Here, he was capable of creating an eloquent tapestry and of transcending the cello.

[dissidencello]

So extraordinary... Respect and admiration !

[lpmunich]

Many thanks fos this music!! JS is one of the best on earth!

[pbaron23]

So natural.

[Badxela]

and his wonderful bow control makes it so light and beautiful !

[kaikobird]

is there a reason why he doesnt recognize appoggiaturas? lol

[proggoth]

Perhaps he is not technically gifted enough to play them. Perhaps you could teach him. Perhaps not.
