Pablo Casals plays BACH - Suite no 1 for Cello - part 1

much better than rostropovich i think

Thank you,
I am grieving and this is just what I was looking for.

I second the motion of dikaiosyne9: the original name of this master is Pau, in his mother tongue. As the champion messenger in defending his culture, it is a form of great disrespect to name him in the language of his enemies.

thank you!

He was a political exiliated artist; please, do not contribute to the triumph, because of his own name, of the cultural genocide he always comdemned and fought against. His real first name, in catalan Pau, also means peace; Pablo doesnt mean anything. Thank you very much. Please, see too in Youtube: El discurs de Pau Casals or Pau Casals, the catalan courier.

The great master Pau Casals would have never wanted his first name to be changed in Pablo. He always defended the rights of his nation, Catalonia, and amongst these, the linguistic rights, and his mother tongue, catalan. Please, if you really love his music, respect his memory and restaure here his real catalan first name: Pau Casals, [To be continued]

Thank you for this information-Casals has long been my favourite cellist,and all this time I have been disrespecting him by using the wrong first name.
Could you tell me,please,how to pronounce Pau?

roughly like 'paw'

Thank you

You are unfortunately right ... Casals' recordings will last forever. And will keep on hearing him play offkey ...  And where is he musicality ??? hmmm
