@willy1514 rostropovich plays the ascending part more smoothly.. if we are talking about the same part.. ?
-
bravo
-
Wow, yeah. It does look strange. Most people I see play with at least a foot of endpin. But, since Piatigorsky does it it must be okay.
-
WOW! This is some very ARTFUL celloing!
I love it!!
-
My teacher doesn't use a lot of endpin. He is amazing too - performing internationally and having studied with Harrell and Rostropovich.

Piatigorsky is simply one of the finest cellists to ever grace this earth. I am a huge enthusiast of modern music, but whenever I hear Piatigorsky play this piece, I am simply wooed and very appreciative of both the geniuses Piatigorsky and Saint-Saens. As an aspiring cellist myself, he gives me great confidence.
-
I thinks it's because he's really tall...I really don't think it's 'cause his intrument is too small.
-
Have to say that I agree with that original statement about the rubato and portamento =) I can't stand cellists who pull the tempo about far too much, and also those who slide really slowly on the large shifts

Watch his bow at 0:36 on this film--amazing. Also, listen to his recording of the Dvorak Concerto (Boston-Munch) where near the end of the first movement he plays an ascending scale on two strings LEGATO. Everyone else has to play it detache. WOW.

he plays with practically no endpin,
he is practically bent over his cello!
