Yuri and Daniel Beliavsky perform Kol Nidre

[MelancholyWhisper]

My violin instructor gave me this piece today, this if my very first time hearing it.

It's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, I can't wait to play it. c:

Well said MurrayMD.

[susieecool]

Yes, it was composed for cello, but it's music. Music should be played, no matter how or on what instrument. If you become a music snob, then you are limiting yourself. I adore the feeling and emotion he puts into this piece, it is entirely unique to him.

[cellist08]

this piece was composed for the cello. there's a reason for that.

Great performance Prof. Beliavsky, just wish we could see more of you in the video.

[MurrayMD]

I don't feel it was necessarily rushed; too many people seem to listen to a performance thinking the artist has to play things a certain way. Shouldn't they be teaching us something instead? People who demand technical perfection seem to view it as an end in itself, not as a means to an end. Sure, it can be spectacular but if that's all it takes then we might as well be watching machinery at work instead of people communicating through an artistic medium. Thanks for reading this far :)

Beautifully played!

[joosangbai]

What a meditation!

Blok composed? or Bruch?

[dogsrsocule]

Bruch

[mluc]

This is the Kol Nidrei.. it's an Adaggio about a jewis pray for Violoncello and Orchestra. It was composed by Max Bruch :·)

no it isn't, the intro is perfect

[Stuck91]

I like it a lot but I also fell certain parts were rushed. Also, he played a lot of parts in 4th or 5th position on the G and D string when I think is suppose to be on the A and E. Over all, still a masterful performence

[maireadnesbittforum]

I don't feel it's rushed. A master of violin can play on any string and in any position and still play flawlessly and beautifully. It is never written in stone in which position to play a particular piece. Just let the music take you. :)

[yarrtiscrapulence]

The G and D strings have a different colour to the A and E. A darker more mournful tone is produced which certainly lends itself to this music. I suppose it is just personal preference as to which string the music is played on, but colour is something that should not be dismissed. Just a question, what would lend you to play this music on the A and E? Is it a matter of sound, or because the music doesn't stipulate where you should play?

[mygummo]

Heartrendingly moving! I listened with a lump in my throat and tears in my eyes.Daniel's lush accompaniment so lovingly supported Yuri's fine technique. Bravo to them both.

[Metsthr]

Technically I feel it was very well played.I can not get over the fact that it is being played on the violin and the fact that it feels rushed. The very beginning is nice, until the theme is supposed drop an octave, but because it is violin it raises and octave. Keep cello pieces on cello, there are enough original violin compositions that are a lot better IMO.
