@Angeloyur Thank you and you're quite welcome. And it's a pet peeve of mine - music uploads with too little, if any, information in the description box. How can fan channel owners just toss up a piece without including any information about it? To me, that's being inconsiderate toward the viewers and disrespectful toward the music. If these fan channel owners don't love what they're doing enough to do it right and proper, then they shouldn't be undertaking such a project at all.
Hehe I fully agree with your comment, it is definitively disrespectful not to provide any relevant info. Perhaps a cultural issue or plainly laziness! (wouldn't be surprised...)
Dear Mark - thanks for this great music - loved your photo selection too, as always... great in that it goes with Anima - what a title. As far as the performance of Ms Fukacova - she is so wonderful - the cello in her hands is a singing human voice! Profoundly moving. Providing a link to her repertoire is great - i need another life to catch up - but i will go to her Chopin, Frank, Debussy sonatas first - personal favorites - stuff that i know (or think i know!) Thank YOU!
@PhilPhilUSA Michaela actually suggested to me that I upload this! We made friends last year - the most improbable friendship imaginable! - after I got into an argument with her - and of course lost it ... not knowing with whom I was arguing! She's the sweetest, kindest person ever. : D
@MB7classical Well i didn't find the warhorses i was looking for on UT - but i did find warhorses! The Reger solo suite is outrageously great playing - then i found the Smetana Trio in G minor - i knew the Czech boys would set this gal free - Michaela plays great - thanks for turning me on to this, Mark. The Anima piece requires one to slow down sufficiently to receive its message. This is hard in todays world - but there are rewards if you can - alla your upload here!
@PhilPhilUSA I just pointed out to an online dancer friend of mine how Michaela DANCES with her cello. (And talk about a totally honest relationship! - what her and her cello have.) And my friend enthusiastically agreed with me.
I could make an argument that Michaela is the best musician on the planet. ...
That European audiences have reduced her to small venues is an indication of what a racket Classical music has become over there. She needs to come here - and conquer America.
@MB7classical Michaela has nature pictures on the video where she plays the Reger solo suite. Its easy to image her actually playing this and 'dancing' with her cello. To create a sound like that requires one's whole body (let alone her spirit). That piece is made for her - and having heard it - i agree totally - she is an artist.
And thank you all for those very kind comments, I feel honored & humbled by your praising words .... and though I mean you exaggerate a bit, I do enjoy it ! :))
@getoutoftown1000 It's Michaela Fukacova throughout, and in my opinion she's the best cellist in the world. She combines perfect technique with the most profound soulfulness.
Visit her YouTube channel! I provide a link to it in the description box. And befriend her there! She's an extremely nice person. : D
Very interesting music :), thank you for this upload - excellent as usual - and for all the info given!

@PhilPhilUSA Those are her own photos! I'll send you a link to her online portfolio. She takes a very intuitive and mystical approach to photography!

@miap1701 Ha! Michaela, there is NO exaggerating when it comes to praising your talent and your character.
And if you can be honored and humbled by the words of a nobody like what I am, then you are indeed a truly humble and honorable person.
God bless. : )

Very beautiful and sad and lonely and a whole set of other emotions!
Great upload Mark of such a wonderfully interpreted composition. Again Michaela does such a wonderful work with the cello! :)

@gonrolgonrol Her playing is indeed the main reason to listen to this work.
I'm liking it more and more. I've been trying hard to like it, for Michaela's sake!
And I expected you to have some better insight on it than I do. ...
You're in a better position than I am to understand certain musical and cultural aspects of this piece.
I'm left almost completely mystified. ...

The cellist at the opening of this has a really beautiful sound.
