I don't think Steven Isserlis meant it harsh in anyway. That's his way of teaching and the student chose to get a masterclass with him. Isserlis just wants to help and point out when the cellist has tension which will help to perform the piece even better.
Personally, I would be over the moon if I had the chance to get some hints from Steven Isserlis. He's a very good cellist and you should consider it as a privilege to be taught by him!

What he's saying makes sense but it does come across harsh and insulting but it's natural to be annoyed at someone telling you to stop playing how you have been all this time and that you should play it another way. I would be pissed too if I were him but that's how you improve. He himself may not be good but is that really the point? He's jugding from a listener point of view, not a celloist. You really got to stomach it and have confidence; he's not there to shoot you down.

@sexybrahms This doesn't surprise me, no wonder Louise Hopkins is so harsh! I had a class with her last summer, I was absolutely torn to shreds!!

The guy shouldnt take masterclasses if he gets freaking pissed everytime the teacher corrects him...
-
@firebreathone2 - True - amazing cellist, rubbish teacher. This is true for too many of the 'masters'
-
at 2:07, the guy's like "Im gonna punch him in the face!"
-
@firebreathone2 By RELAX, he is meaning" do less, do less, enjoy". But that is very hard. Unfortunately doing less is priviledge of great musicians only:)
-
@sexybrahms I guess they're right about calling him an asshole then.
Being a cello prodigy doesn't give you the right to insult someone.
-
where was that masterclass? i would love to attend it!

He's a wonderful teacher. He says it like it is. This does not make him "obnoxious" or an "asshole." Students at an advanced level need this kind of detailed criticism to help them progress from very capable musicians to exciting performers.
p.s. This is Isserlis being polite...I attended a class in which he shouted "Shame on you! Shame on your children!" at the performer.

I think shouting "RELAX" in a guy's ear doesn't exactly aid the relaxing process..!

It always amuses me when teachers tell a student to relax by shouting and hitting them! Surprisingly common in masterclasses...one wonders whether there might be a more sensative way of doing it?
