Rostropivich was not only the best cellist ever, he was also a human right hero in communist Russia, - Saharov, the scientist found refuge in Rostropovich's home when he was harassed by the authorities for his views on human freedom. And the Russian gov. was so respectful of Rostropovich's international fame that he could shield Saharov from persecution.
He also sheltered Solzhenitsyn... Once, in San Francisco, he was conducting and into the first notes of the piece, an Iphone rang out a tune. He stopped the orchestra; examined the notes in a rather obvious fashion; turned to the infiltrator and said: 'It's not written here'. He got some deserved applause.

actually now i've played it to! can definitely see why you guys said that, but for me my bow was still the biggest challenge for some reason. especially those fast parts in the 3rd movement!
@@nicholaskiim No it is incorrect. I play this piece and the third movement begins a few lines later. It sounds like it could be the start of the third movement, but it's just using a piece of the first movement to bridge the second into the third.
@Trey Coughlin Actually if you own the international edition (which is largely considered to be the most accurate) you will find that at tempo primo (rehearsal H) the soloist finishes a slur from the measure before and then has almost 19 measures of rest (18 and 3/4 to be exact). Then, at rehearsal J, the soloist has a quarter rest, then he begins the melody. Therefore, the third movement does in fact start with what you referred to as “the bridge” to the third movement. If, however, your conductor referred to rehearsal J as the third movement, then by all means you are correct. Since there is no significant marking signifying the beginning of a new movement at J, we can infer that movement three will begin at the tempo change.
i was laying down listening to this with my eyes closed, completely focused on the music, when a really loud ad started out of the blue. startled me so bad. id much rather there be longer/more/unskippable ads at the beginning or end, but please not in the middle D:

Это только у русских возникает эта больная тема. Вы где-нибудь встречали, чтобы евреи гордились и писали об этом под роликами десятков и десятков лучших музыкантов-евреев, например? Кстати, у Ростроповича русской была только мать.

Just lightly touching the string. You have a bit of time to take your hand off too so you can shift back (which is what he does) while the harmonic is still ringing.
No one, and I mean NOBODY plays this piece like Rostropovich! I wore this out on cassette tape as a teenager, lol I got excited when YoYo Ma recorded it but it sounds rushed and too technical to me. He has not near the passion and energy of Rostropovich.
Trey Coughlin I mean, technically (I play this too,) as in the international edition edited by Leonard Rose, each movement is indicated by a distinct tempo marking, Allegretto con moto for second movement, and measure 373, or 10:45 is marked Tempo I, and is also where the main theme returns from the first movement, making 10:45 the third movement.
@@tylerngai568 Actually, it turns out we were all wrong. I believe Saint Saens intended to make his concerto one long concerto, not meant to be broken up into movements. Different editions added in tempo markings and such, but not necessarily separate movements. When I played this for a competition, I was doing the first movement only. But it transitions so smoothly into the second movement, that I couldn't just stop and the end of the first. I had to cut to the very end of the entire piece to make it sound whole. This is why we think the third movement starts in different spots. We have different editions, which changes our perspective based on where the editors placed the tempo markings. Other concertos such as the Lalo concerto in D minor clearly marks the end and start of each movement, literally breaking up the bars and printing "Movement 2". You can essentially play any one movement at a performance, and it sounds like a complete song.
was a little fast but i think it would've been cool if the orchestra actually matched his tempo the whole time rather than not making him sound like he was rushing a lot. I think his take on the tempo's are very cool and interpretive compared to others who just play it like how many others have

Deux génies au service de Saint-Saens : Rostropovitch et Giulini, que demander de plus ?
No one would believe how much the cello is like a part of him until you hear his recordings,
The greatest of all time. Also who in their right mind would downvote this?

What about Pablo Casals?
the answer is, they aren't in their right mind
Maybe they were so moved and were in tears that they thought the downvote button was the upvote

The Orchestra was the London Philharmonic Orchestra, Conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini.
Ecco il più grande violoncellista del Mondo.Grandissimo.
Pour moi c'était Jacqueline du Pré...
Очень красивый концерт, особенно средняя часть! Прекрасная безукоризненная техника! Брависсимо!!!

Blame the editions that say so...
i feel like these bowings would be so hard to use for anyone else but him
winwinnie they really aren't i'm studying it right now. what's hard is the shiftingd
Bowings are not hard. I’m playing it right now and I would say that position changes and intonation are the worst.
actually now i've played it to! can definitely see why you guys said that, but for me my bow was still the biggest challenge for some reason. especially those fast parts in the 3rd movement!
Yeah this song was a lot to deal with because of the finger strength required to get a full rich sound
It the fingering and left to right coordination that’s hard for me
And tone quality
Как всегда , колоссально ! Wie immer , super schön !!!

Увы, здесь в Италии, по среди шедевра, вопреки элементарного уважения, ворвались дикарские, в полном смысле слова, вопли какой-то рекламы.

Thank you for this! I am practicing for cellist and this helps for me to play along with ROSTROPOVICH lol.

oui
Ce n'est pas l'Orchestre de la Scala de Milan... Au contraire, c'est London Philharmonic Orchestra (Orchestre Philharmonique de Londres)...
The history of cello playing could be divided into BR and AR: Before Rostropovich and After Rostropovich.

Du grand violoncelle ....le son toujours très beau, propre, précis...même si on peut trouver des interprétations plus denses de patos...
Esa pasión e ímpetu que no te puede dejar indiferente... Único!
Recorded in London’s Henry Wood Hall in November 1977
Thanks, do you know what orchestra? Just curious... I'm gonna play it in my orchestra next month 😀 No, I'm not a cellist, but it's a nice one!
so beautiful...
Judging by some of the haircuts, I'd say c.1977. Any other takers?
beautiful..
Amazing ...
Beauty💘💘💘💙💙💙💝💝💝I am totally fascinate!!!
Crazy he does the artificial harmonics on the D string.
15:54
ive been doing it on the A string cuz i thought that's the only way but now i gotta try D!!
@@danieljow3510 Same I never do non a string artificials
No he doesn't, he does it on the a string.
He's doing it on the A string, with a Quinte between Thumb and 3rd finger. So he starts with Thumb on E flat and 3rd finger on b-flat
no, he does it on the d string for sure
15:54 I know its harmonics, but how does a cello even do that !?! (great performance)
It's on the a string
Just lightly touching the string. You have a bit of time to take your hand off too so you can shift back (which is what he does) while the harmonic is still ringing.
@@whathandleisnttakentrick here is to have a perfect fifth/fourth between the light touch of the ring finger and the thump.

Then the creators of Schindler's List stole Tempo primo 11:50. This will always far superior.

Sorry, but who and why has to play smth like him? Everyone should do smth as he can or wants to do. Duplicating is a bad habit.
Al final indica que es la London Philarmonic Orchestra
Slava!!!
Irraggiungibile.

this is insane....
What orchestra is this?
London Symphony?
Феноменально, лет на 100 ещё, остальное, шлак, подобие виолончели...
anyone else its a little too fast?
I like it a little slower.
For me personally, it’s actually a little on the slow side. I actually prefer the speed of Yo-Yo Ma’s recording.
was a little fast but i think it would've been cool if the orchestra actually matched his tempo the whole time rather than not making him sound like he was rushing a lot. I think his take on the tempo's are very cool and interpretive compared to others who just play it like how many others have
Felt like he wanna rush the orchrstra so bad and the flutes dont give a fak lol
