    I would have loved to have had a seat in that concert hall.

    Pieter Wispelways interpretation of the Bach Suites is expressive in his use of variation in tempos and dynamics. He pulls in your heart strings with bringing out the strong harmonies, his subito pianos and subito fortes and use of no vibrato for a plaintive cry. I absolutely love his interpretation.

    These interpretations are a revelation. Bach embraced the univerce to release through the conduit of music for us to receive. May Bach's work grace us until the end of time.

    I wish I had discovered Bach's cello suites when I was 12 instead of 23, I would have dedicated my life to learning and playing the cello! Here I am at 45 enjoying this documentary and regrets come back to haunt me.

    Pour une interprétation vivante de ces suites pour cello qui accompagnent si bien les errances de nos âmes en quête d'essentiel.
    Merci à ce grand interprète et à son si bel instrument.

    It is absolutely stunning to hear Pieter Wispelways play the suites on baroque cello. Somehow the notes live on a bit longer even though his interpretations herein are by no means slow. Clearly the Hall may lend to this but I believe it is his progressive passion for Bach and his desire to get to know the him through tone that carry the suites with such grace. This man is such an inspiration. Unreal.

    I’ve got his second and this third album and have always enjoyed the third as my overall favorite recording. To hear him speak in this video about the music and to show us he’s open to better understanding the music is pretty extraordinary. When he speaks of taking the baroque tools (gut strings, now, etc.) and figuring them out for himself, that’s making the music in an authentic way. His openness to hear from the historical experts but also ultimately disagree with them makes for revealing the complexity of the music and ideas about performance altogether. Looking forward to the next recording!

    Bach fué tan genial que conocía profundamente nuestra naturaleza, no toleramos la libertad que nos brindó con sus composiciones,alguien nos tiene que decir como hacerlo,éste documental es la prueba de ello.Hay tantas versiones como violoncelistas en el mundo para nuestra fortuna,Bach es el símbolo de la libertad absoluta de expresión.

    Im fascinated with the topic of how the dances may have influenced the tempos of live performances. So I went in search of videos of of dances in the tradition of the time. But alas, I haven’t found any. If someone has links, I’d be very happy to watch and influence my own playing this way. What an interesting meditation.

    A bit off-topic:
    If you turn the sub-titles on, they will be generated automatically.
    The computer will show "Joe sweets" for "cello suites"
    "Bark" for "Bach", and
    "whisper way" for "Wispelwey"
    "satyr band" for "saraband"
    "North Lee" for "naughtily"
    "borough" for "bourré"
    and I'm only at 2.28....

    I think most people lack the delicacy required to perform the Cello Suite No. 4. I don't like it when they rush the prelude or the bourrees. Thankfully, Yo Yo Ma, Pablo Casals and Mischa Maisky know/knew how to give it justice and play it beautifully.

    this guy always rushes and plays the suites in such a sloppy way. Watch Wtephen Isselris or Gautier Capucon for a more authentic clear version.

    • @sorayabranco
      @sorayabranco Рік тому +2

      I respectfully disagree at all with you. Hes not rushing. Hes putting intention in the ritm. Bach cello suites should not be played flat. This is not chopin. Its Bach. Hes german. German language is also rough. I believe his interpretation is state of the art. Not only because it is not ptetencious but mainly because its is faitfull to its author energy.
