Youtube Symphony Audition 2011 - Cello

NOTE: my video is oriented backwards. I honestly did not notice before submitting my audition -- I practice in front of a mirror all of the time so nothing seemed too backwards to me! Hopefully my filming faux pas does not distract too much from my audition.

The track times for the audition video are:
(0:00) - Haydn Cello Concerto in D major (exposition)
(3:24) - J.S. Bach Prelude to Suite I in G major
(5:49) - Strauss Don Juan (Beginning to C)
(6:45) - Brahms Symphony No. 2 (2nd movement, beginning to A)
(8:18) - Smetana Overture to the Bartered Bride (Beginning to A)

Hello mhuberthcello,

I loved your video. You have a great sound and a wonderful musicality.

You probably had that quesiton a thousand times, but how did you manage to play in an orchestra with the left hand holding the bow?

All best wishes,

and kindes regards,

David

@DavidSBaltuch Yes, soccerhooliganite is right. I play 'right-handed', but my camera mirrored the video. Playing in orchestra the opposite way would certainly have been a feat!

Glad you enjoyed my audition. Here's hoping it works out..

I saw some of your videos too - you look like a great conductor! Best of luck with all of your endeavors.
