how hard is it to play a cello? im an experienced guitar player, and the cello is something i have always wanted to learn. its so beautiful.

[FernandoTheWeasel]

@gregkodysz For what it's worth, I'm am experienced guitarist (have been playing for 8 years) and I picked up the cello a year ago. While there are other factors that go into the equation besides my being a guitarist, I've been progressing quickly on the cello and love playing it. If you have a good ear and want to pick up the cello, why not?

@gregkodysz

playing the cello can be difficult at first and the strings might hurt your fingers at first but after a while it wont hurt and if your really dedicated to can be really great at playing cello. i have been playing cello for about 6 years and i love it so much, i couldnt imagine my life without my cello :)

[YuiAlatriste]

@RocknRosex3 Yes Haji plays this prelude all the time. I Love Blood too

[DeathAwaits187]

This is perhaps the most beautiful thing that has fallen upon my ears in all my life and the only music I can actually become enveloped in. So calming and enchanting, dark and mysterious, sweet but sorrowful. I praise the day the magnificent masterpiece came into being. Merci.

@DeathAwaits187 i love bach chaconne better than anything esle

[DeathAwaits187]

@Davinp123 I just love the darkness of the piece and how it transitions into a lighter sound.

[Davinp123]

@DeathAwaits187 that wat makes him a genius

[egomorfo]

this piece has the form ( and the spirit , I think) of an ouverture alla francesa, hence its movement should be jumpy and majestic...each and every cello player performs it as a romantic prelude.

maybe just vito paternoster reaches this more dynamic and orchestral baroque approaching.

Bat Shit @ 1:07

[NotWeirdJustOdd]

@grigorijoe LOL very observant! But not the main point XD

[1973rugger]

@grigorijoe (I am still chuckling . .)

[ernstfuld]

@GacktRockz: Rostropovich, Du Pre, Zara Nelsova, Yoyo Ma, Pablo Casals etcetc... Luckily there are many "best cellists of all times" ;-)

[GacktRockz]

Mstislav Rostropovich and Jacqueline du Pre are the two most respected celloist of all times. They will be missed (even though I never was born to see du Pre in action).

[alexcelloandbass]

damnit we lost a man and we find a myth...

[112742Jimijoejimi]

how old is he here?

[munkybrain]

quite a low elbow. wonder how he ever got that to work. seems to get so much weight into the strings, though

[thordrianee]

shut up

[munkybrain]

@thordrianee could you please explain why i should?

[koeloekai]

the man!

[Eshidu1]

my favorite part starts at 3:21

<3

[C0urante]

3:07

I hear vibrato but his fingers are still... can someone please explain how this is possible?

[karljw]

i believe he played a harmonic, which can make a tremor that sounds like vibrato due to the finger's contact with the string

[EmmaDanfan112591]

this is beautiful Rostropovich is my favourite!

[ThomasHospitaller]

I find it very moving that this master's passionate prelude to the C minor suite opens with a shot of Christ carrying the cross behind his cello. It is a symbolic gesture, or perhaps a coincidence - either way, this music is divine. Slava's playing was so romantic, so glorious, and full of humanity.

May we long have imagination as this great species of humanity.

[manuelzulu43]

Rostropovich... the best.

[cookedbread]

This guy's incredible

[anatoliyyy]

студенты,учитесь у Славы и не забывайте его,
