I have watched this video before and was surprised by it because I was in the audience. It was taped at the Independent Presbyterian Church on Highland Ave in Birmingham, AL. A group of cello students from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa drove up for this performance. It was made probably in 1977 or 78 as best I recall. I didn't realize that it had been recorded until I watched it a few years ago.
My first interaction with Janos Starker was when I was 16 and playing cello in an orchestra. He was soloing with us on the Dvorak Concerto. We spoke only briefly as it was clear that he wanted to concentrate on getting ready for the concert that night. Years later I played the Barber Sonata for him during a master class. He complimented me saying, "Sometimes all I can do is admire." That encouragement was much appreciated by this cellist. His devotion to teaching and performing was admirable. I love his sense of humor and kind manner with the students. He was also inclusive, encouraging many students from underrepresented groups. I'm sorry he is no longer with us because he was a positive force in music.
I went to IU to study cello with Starker in the 80s and a year later I decided to go into Information Technology [IT] to make a living. So glad that I made the right choice.
Thank you for posting this wonderful video! Can I, by any chance, repost your channel on the Gan Jing World platform? Of course I will keep everything as is and also include your channel as source.
Years later Starker had softened his opinion probably b/c he had an epiphany that his talent came from Mother Nature. P.S: If one knows the geography [this skill is given by Mother Nature] of the cello, you got it made.
One keeps practicing the cello for hundred of years and still cannot play like Starker and WHY ? B/c Mother Nature had been extraordinarily kind to him.
this supreme instrumental explanation of the cello, the psychological anticipation, is applied to all musical instruments. Thank you for uploading this video. He really says it all.
Murió Starker el 29 de abril de 2013, a la edad de 88 años. Gran cellista, sobrio, y balanceado. Supe de el a los 18 años, compré un disco, el cual conservo. Cómo me hubiese gustado observar a este genio tocando o dictando una clase magistral. Hoy los disfruto en vídeo, muy tarde para mis anhelos de tocar cello, muy bien para ratificar que un buen maestro va más allá de todo para enseñar: "untar mantequilla de maní, untar mantequilla caliente""yo le entiendo, fui estudiante de cello y sufrí los rigores del arco y de los músculos tensos. Gracias a cellokratzer por publicar esta maravilla de vídeo. Viva el Arte.
A great Master and level of humanity. At the time of 31:34 he cutted some strokes of Piatti 7. capprice, but as he said in another conversation, he can afford to do so :)
This video is perfect, funny and entertaining, a lot of it makes sense. Evangeline Benedetti's method of the cello covers the same things in different ways. Her book is "Cello, Bow And You Putting it All Together" She teaches the Alexander Technique. Amit Peled has another compelling approach to learning the fundamentals.

Super, einfach nur toll, es macht Spaß , die Übungen zu machen, danke👌😊
Excelente 👌 muchas gracias por los subtitulos.
Fantastic, i am a cellist for two years now but i really love this with a loop-device ..
Is that a loop station from the brand BOSS ?

Sure!

What does Mr Starker play in the beginning of this video?
Cassado
Thank you!
The mayor of Lazytown plays a good cello
One keeps practicing the cello for hundred of years and still cannot play like Starker and WHY ? B/c Mother Nature had been extraordinarily kind to him.
If everyone thinks as carefully about their craft as Starker thought about his craft, then I'd say we'd see many, many more Starkers..
@@jonathantosiocello That's a colossal IF.
@@thopham7976 Absolutely!!
Starker would probably say-don't practice to sound like Straker, practice to sound like you
If you practice to sound like you, then you end up playing in New York Subways till Medicare kicks in. @@MrDvdelft
Yes, if you do not need music as much as food and shelter, then you don't need to be in music.
Sorry, but it is true.
Can't eat notes when hungry, right ?
Wow. Janos Starker has all the answers I've been looking for this whole time.
holy shit i've stumbled into the motherload of cello masters today, thanks for sharing
Perfection!!! It was after playing for this great man, that I pursued cello as a career and have him to thank for a wonderful life!
