wht hell with the horn???

[stylecine]

I understand the horn part in this piece is exceptionally difficult, but I could not stand all of the imbarrassing mistakes that the horn player was making! God save Tina Guo! She is such an amazing cellist yet unfortunately have met a horn player who definately could not play his part well.

P.S. Amazing performance! Love it.

@xbasket12x Maybe it was written for him, but I highly doubt it was exclusively for him, and I highly doubt that it can only be played in one way.

[xbasket12x]

@SynthRay I see your point....well I apologize then. Music is about self-expression. I saw that same comment on one of his videos. I also agree with your view on competitions. That is the same reason why I refuse to enter any cello competitions. I believe that judges only grade your style rather than skill. I have been constantly asking myself that very same question. But in this video it just isn't....Shostakovich. Also this piece WAS written for him. Please look it up. No hate intended

[SynthRay]

@xbasket12x It's people like you who could care less about the actual piece and only care about the person playing it. Music isn't meant to be judged upon, it's meant to be appreciated. There are competitions to prove skill on an instrument, but I highly doubt anybody with the right mind would judge a PERSON just from their skill. As world class Cellist Yo-Yo Ma refuses to judge competitions as he says "Who am I to judge anyone's self-expression"? I think you should ask yourself that question.

[SynthRay]

@xbasket12x Firstly, I can tell you're not an appreciator of music since you resort to favoritism as you come to Tina's video and you think it's a competition. Music isn't meant to be played exactly the same by every person who plays it. Shostakovich didn't write all his pieces meant to be played with power. So just labeling an artist from one of their pieces of art wouldn't be wise. Also, this wasn't written FOR Rostro, it was edited by him. Please keep your judgmental opinions to yourself.

@RozsaCellist Yeah....also this concerto was written for Rostropovich, so I think his is only one worth listening to.......
