  • I disagree that Rostropovich plays it better. I do think that Rostropovich honors himself more than Bach when playing the suites.

  • This piece is hard to learn but hard to completely master. I've been playing for almost 6 years now, I'm about to get a professional instrument myself. Your statement broadcasts your ignorance of expression. To make a piece sound beautiful, you pour your heart into it. Memorizing the notes of a piece is different than memorizing the song itself. Every musician that has, and will, play this piece will play it differently than anyone else. This is one of many interpretations, not the "right" one.

  • @Jangof3tt this appears to be a standard cello- Bylsma seldom, if ever used an endpin. The lower bouts of this instrument appear too narrow to be a gamba. I also do not count the number of pegs in the scroll for this to be a gamba. If it is anything other than a cello, it could be a rare find like the violoncello piccolo.

  • @TheBlueeyedJew Viola de gambas didn't have endpins

    

  • His playing is a communication with an old intelligence . 

  • look Ma! No endpin! (no pun intended) This is the way he plays.

  • Bylsma is the epitome of Baroque cello. I don't think anyone plays baroque better/ Slava rocks the hardcore s*** like Dvorak and Tchaikovsky IMO.

  • gorgeous piece

  • @dkurgano It's not a matter of opinion, because you can't say that bach would not have approved the ending, while bylsma is THE specialist of Bach's cello playing

  • bravissimo, perfect speed and interpretation and sound!

  • @quentinexus this man does for bach what 'the sound of music' did for hills. but we're all entitled to our opinions, arent we!

  • @dkurgano and by the way, it makes so muche sense to end this prelude this way, instead of playing it fortississimo like anyone does, playing it rallentando and with a rubato just before the final arpeggios make it sound so smoothly powerful^^
