It's a shame how classical music is fading against music that does not encompass the greatness and grandeur of this musical, centuries old, genre through all its stages, and therefore, great orchestras and soloists are forgotten. How many know or remember this great cellist; Lynn Harrell?
Lalo Cello Concerto in D Minor Prelude, Lento - Allegro maestoso 0:51 Intermezzo, Andantino con moto - Allegro presto 15:20 Introduction, andante - Allegro vivace 22:03 Encores: Casals Song of the Birds 33:48 Kabalevsky Etude 38:50 Bach Suite No. 3; Bourrée I 40:01
I was blessed to have heard Lynn Harrell perform in Ithaca, New York, close to where I grew up learning to play the cello. He was so humble and gracious when I congratulated him. I also cherish his recordings of the Beethoven Cello Sonatas. It's amazing that his body held up in his 70s, such that he could still perform the Lalo Cello Concerto with such power and rich tone. RIP, good sir!!
a great loss to the musical world - I heard him play Elgar in Sydney in the 60's and again in South Bank in the 80's. A true master of the 'cello. It takes a true master to play three encores - such humility.
My teacher was taught, by a student (teacher) who was taught by Lynn Harrell. Like a 3rd gen Harrell. It's how I was introduced to this Cellist. Absolutely fantastic.. his playing is effortless yet powerful.
Really? Greatest of all time? Very good, yes, but compared to Pablo Casals, Pierre Fournier, Paul Tortelier, Rostropovich, Yo Yo Ma, Jaqueline du Pré, Heinrich Schiff? He struggles to even make the top 10 of all time.
@@MSalt69 Ehh, technically speaking he's in the top 5 I'd say. Watch him play Don Quixote, Walton recording, Arpeggione Sonata. Intellectually, he's maybe 2nd only to Yo Yo. His recordings and performances after he sold his equipment and went modern...it had less dimension and color. His originality of sound, the best.
I'm guessing that he played another version of this piece because in 2:35 there's no chord like that in the score I use, it could be his own interpretations too.
You are playing on a more modern arrangement, I too have a similar copy but I now play on a older one with the chords. The Bowings between the two copies are also drastically different.

Ya its so weird to thing about our grandteachers. My grand teacher is du pre.
My main teacher was kind enough to hand me his "cello tree", bunch of big names in it!
It inspires me practise this concert even more!

Lynn was a steady stream of love. Dat BOW!
“Song of the birds”: catchy title and hauntingly beautiful , but no, I actually ain’t heard no bird singin’it yet.
What a treasure!
