So good, but isn't that cello a little low? Or maybe it's a style of how to play it, I don't know. He did a great job!

wonderful played!!

@ttgnaj I had the pleasure of speaking to Piatigorsky and his wife Jacqueline at a gathering in 1971. I was a bit over 6'4" (about 193 cm), and we stood eye-to-eye; he may have been a half-inch taller. He was 68 at the time. Allowing some height loss due to age, he was probably around 6-6 (about 198 cm) when younger.
Jacqueline Piatigorsky is still with us and will celebrate her 100th birthday November 6th.

That cello is now in the ny met in the rare instruments section. Bloody beautiful in person I must say.
-
Piatigorsky was a great cellist, and he appears to be quite tall. Does anyone know how tall he was?
-
I'm just postulating because I have never really studied this, but is the way he plays cello similar technique-wise to Heifitz's violin playing? I mean the way holds his bow and his vibrato...
-
@quickshots11 maybe its only because your not used to hear it like that... but hes actually doing something with the music. most others just play it...
-

Who better to interpret a piece from the Romantic era than someone who was born during that time? Piatigorsky was born toward the end of this era in 1903. Much respect to his musicianship!! I love how he plays this piece. I think this is historic and really reflective of his generation's music sensibilities.
