(Bach, Britten) - Cello Suite No. 6 - Ophelie Gaillard (1)

This documentary entitled "Variations" features French cellist Ophelie Gaillard and gives us some insight into Ms. Gaillard's musical life and how this talented young cellist interprets cello music.

Featured in this part are performances of J. S. Bach's sixth cello suite performed on violoncello piccolo and a sonata for cello and piano by Benjamin Britten.

Enjoy!

This is a 25 minute documentary that I have split into multiple parts.

@Max3851 I agree with you mate, have been teaching in the French system for about 5 years and find it administration-heavy and rigid. Tortelier himself moved from France to Germany to teach, siting the same problem.

On the other hand it's down to one, I suppose, to break it up a bit and introduce one's style.

By the way I'm also a graduate of the GSMD, was with Stefan :-)

[PGRANDIER]

what about Fournier, Gendron, Lodeon max?? never heard of them?

[Max3851]

I myself am graduated from the Guildhall Scholl of Music London and was taught (among others) by William Pleeth (Du Pres teacher) don't really see the point of your mail, you like French traditions, I don't. Its called a difference of oppinion. Why on earth would I be interested in what your Mother has or has not done?!

[Apalexpe]

My mother is a graduated cellist from the Conservatory of Paris from Philip Muller's class and had the priviledge to take master clasess from great masters like Navarra and Tortelier. The love I have doesn't come from recordings but from what I hear when my mother plays and the character change of each student of hers whenever exposed to french traditions. Have a good one my friend :)

[Max3851]

I give what I consider to be my personal experience with the French school, as I have been teaching within it for the last 8 years, and I have not said for one second that I think another school is "best" you have more said that yourself in your proclaimed love for it. Your opinion is no more valid than my own, you love the French manner of doing things, through experience, I don't. Ther are many wonderfull French Cellists but the "shape" of the French school for me is too fixed and rigid.

[Apalexpe]

I've never met somebody with such a radical mentality as yours but your opinion belongs to you. In music there is not such thing as "best", we belong to an imperfect world where we all contribute in different ways. The french school is full of colours and and unlike what you said it creates an endless plethora of shapes. Rostropovich is a legend as well as my loved Du Pre, but so are Fournier, Tortelier, Navarra and Gendron. Learn how to observe good qualities rather than judging drastically.

[Max3851]

the French school is really grey and square, du pre, rostropovitch are not French school and they are on a far higher level than totelier. French school produces good technicians not genius creativity
