Pablo Casals plays BACH - Suite no 1 for Cello - part 2

People comment on Feuermann, but this cellist is the one worth studying, and there is a shortage of videos for this. Casals was a 19th century cellist, so we can learn about Brahms and others through this person.

Its funny how many musicians would hate this because its played to much like romantic music and not barouqe. idiots if you ask me. just beautiful.

master in action! fantastic!

Immortal playing and person

There is nothing so beautiful like this masterpiece!

Just to be clear, Casals and Picasso were both Spanish by birth, while Neruda was Chilean. Yes they were masters.

uh, it's a cello.

This was a jest.  Who says "egad"?

what? GDAE? iTS A CELLO.

LOL :p

Thank you for this posting. Pau Casals has been an inspiration for my 50 years of playing the solo Bach Suites (on viola). What a musician! What a cellist! The "voice" of angels couldn't be any sweeter or speak of deeper secrets... I believe he was the first to treat these pieces as concert pieces, rather than etudes!
