Bach Cello Suite No. 2 in d minor, Sarabande

[webeurope35]

Bach ... y el cello de Wispelwy ...es ingresar al Paraíso....!!!!

[Ennah08]

I prefer to open my ears! - And I find his interpretation both interesting and beautiful.

[stevenisserlisfan]

open your eyes people. can't you see how egotistical and 'empty' his interpretation is? i've hit 'dislike' WITH PRIDE

[stevenisserlisfan]

pieter wispelwey is by far the most overrated cellist of modern times, with the possible exception of maisky. pieter is a charlatan if i've ever seen one. why does he think he can do whatever he pleases with the music? phrasing-wise AND rhythmically. thumbs down me all you like, i don't care. pieter's playing is horrible. listen to ISSERLIS. or altstaedt.

[NovaScotiaChick]

Only people with superficial inclinations would criticise the facial expressions of ANY musician. If you're in the concert hall, you would not see it in close-up as here. This almost seems to do the performer a disfavour, but that's the way it is, as no-one in their right mind would post a classical clip to point out how weird or ugly a musician looks while playing.

If I were a musician, I'd be like Prince, and not allow my music on here. All that freakin' bitching and responding to it too!

[yanpan16]

when i saw him playing in sydney a few years ago, i loved his facial expressions, it was like he was talking to the audience

[sharonboggi]

Peter Wispelwey, I know now.

I find interesting that some folks were annoyed by his facial expressions. Did they every watch YoYo Ma?

[sharonboggi]

WHO IS HE??

[kolopaper123]

@sharonboggi Peter Wispelwey

[danviola08]

So heartfelt and generous

[XdisXesXwhyXimXhawtX]

saw him tonight in salt lake city. Amazing. on top of that, i got to meet him. He is so fantastic.

[Mrfromheretoeternity]

saw him one hour ago in city halls in glasgow

awesome

[coastaluva2]

I saw him live with the Wichita Symphony in KS :) UH-mazing :)

[cathalcom]

...is that a 3/4 size cello?

[amerdan]

That would be great if he were making those faces during intercourse.

[AIORudge]

I love his interpretation, but I really can't stand the extraordinary face expressions he makes. I think this only distracts your attention from the music. I really think it's not necessary.

[arrecotinarrecotan]

@AIORudge thats innate musicality, he cant control it.

[rolfeder]

@AIORudge You can close your eyes and still hear the music.

[Bendixon311]

@AIORudge people don't do it to put on a show. That's the love of music showing.

[cellistdrummer]

@Bendixon311 It's a combo of concentration, showmanship, and passion which triggers his facial expressions.

[dahakita]

[dahakita]

[heyurself]

[jewbrew]

You are the reason america is despised.  You might want to lay off of the pop culture.

[heyurself]

wow, jewbrew, ahha noice name there, sounds pretty appropriate and youtube friendly as well doesn't it?

[jewbrew]

Haha, well I am jewish...

[heyurself]

Haha, well I am one of the transformers robots

[odzinna]

That was really funny! lol :D

[celloadict90]

clear as crystal

[celloadict90]

clear as crystal, live his intonation, much more thn others, lol

[hewillbemyarms]

I think he really catches the siprit of Baroque's music. Bravo!

[chobiv7]

so nicely played!!

[Natalejo]

El es maravilloso!

[wesleyan97]

Through a Glass Darkly :)

[skarmient0]

I like that he doesnt do to much vibrato.

BRAVO!

[jonathantosio]

He plays this differently to on his Bach suites album. I prefer his other...

[skarmient0]

thats because in his recording he plays a baroque cello and a violoncello piccolo.

[jonathantosio]

That Cello, I think is his Barak Norman. It's a modified Cello... he says in an interview that he never plays without a spike.

I supose it's not a recording studio, so I really can't comment! =)

[pbaron23]

I like, but i Prefer--> Bach' simple interpretation..

[Neuronix0401]

Buena pieza,pero como la tocaba Rostropovich ninguno.

[skarmient0]

En realidad Rostropovich no interpreta muy bien bach, es un excelente cellista pero maisky y wispelwey son mucho mejores para bach.

[Neuronix0401]

para gustos los colores.Rostropovich era mas metodico,sin menospreciar a los demas.Te has olvidado de Yoyo-ma que tambien toca Bach muy bien

[skarmient0]

No me olvido de Yo-yo ma, es sólo que el también tiene versiones no tan buenas cómo las ya mencionadas, y si para gustos los colores pues... ¿Si te gusta el reggaetón aplica igual?, jajaja La música es tan subjetiva cómo objetiva a la vez.

[Neuronix0401]

Lo se,tambien toco el cello.
