I have had a good fortune of meeting and interacting with the Rostropovich several times. These are some of the highlights of my musical career. And I don’t refer to many great musicians as “maestro“. Slava merits this title.
To be fair, this is a little messier compared with his playing throughout his prime and particularly his recordings in the studio where you can do a million takes.
That would be a stallhammer endpin, designed different then regular endpins, supposed to give more support for the cellist, and that inward bend is part of the design
ua-cam.com/video/vorh1HGACys/v-deo.html This is and older recording with Shostakovich on piano! The piano playing is great in both, but Rostropovich is definitely stronger in this earlier recording.
I remember playing this piece. While not very technically demanding compared to some of shostakovich's other pieces, it certain demands a lot of attention and care to pull off correctly. The 4th movement however is a real beast.
i love how even other famous, great musicians treat rostropovich like a teacher
This is an absolutely invaluable resource. Thank you for posting.

This is a historical gem, showing the great genius of Rostropovich at work :)
Who dislikes this??? I feel like there are people that just go to random videos all day disliking them

Genio! only one cellist who plays in the same moment both parts, cello and piano...
i love the the way he talks to Nauomoff as he goes

Beautiful!
I love the Thank you at 10:13 as response to Rostropovich's Bravo at 10:02 and the really etherical sound there
what a legendery recod

He plays it like it was written for him or something...
I'm not sure if you're indirectly implying it was written for him or not, because it wasn't...
the 1st and maybe 2nd cello concerto is written for him)
@@nikitamozhegov6944 both cello concertos were written for Rostropovich.
Shostakovich Wrote this sonata for Viktor Kubatsky

@mccafest Do you think you could transcribe the dialogue and put it as subtitles in the video?
excellent, but what's with his end pin?
YASSSSSSS
I have no idea about that, all I know is the bent type of end pin I have become familiar and the only one I know of is the stallhammer :)

I didn't know mistro spoke English
Rostropovich used a Stahlhammer style bent endpin.
No.
It is the Tortelier endpin. Very different. All we can say is that the Stahlhammer was inspired by it. The only thing similar is the bent aspect.
The best cellist that ever lived
Cold soup.
lolwut?
what queerish sounds this cello?! it´s so other one?!
