Leonard Rose is my personal favorite cellist of all time. This performance demonstrates his mastery of the instrument as well as his artistry as a musician. Cellists are fortunate to enjoy his legacy in so many works for cello edited by this legendary performer.
What a treat to see all the legendary first desk players here from the Szell era such as Bernard Adelstein, Ronald Bishop, Cloyd Duff, Maurice Sharp, John Mack, George Goslee, Robert Boyd, Daniel Majeske, Bernhard Goldschmidt - to name but a few, of course.... : )
What an extraordinary of Leonard Rose's artistry (and the the Cleveland Orchestra and Maazel as well)! The camera work, particularly of the solo cello, is superb--we can see his technique from nearly every possible angle.
Quelle belle musique ! quelle superbe interprétation ! l'enregistrement est exemplaire , il nous laisse admirer Léonard Rose dans toute sa prestance...bravo !
Quanta straordinaria viscerale passione in questo brano famosissimo che si rivela nelle trame di una musica travolgente e fortemente espressiva Grandi Bloch,Maazel,Rose.
Concert of April 13, 1976. Also on the program was Bloch's "America". Thank you for posting this great reading of Schelomo in wonderful sound! Cleveland Orchestra, as usual, sounds terrific, too.
Actually, Rose would live another 8 years until leukemia took his life. Still, you can see how life took a toll on him through a demanding performing and teaching schedule.
Какая интересная музыка! Впервые слышу музыку этого композитора, и в полном восторге! Это же настоящее чудо: столько страсти, разных эмоций - целая палитра! Можно снять целый фильм на основе этого произведения - настолько видна фабула,сюжетная линия
Back then we were taught to serve the music and the componist 's intention. The composition was more important in its recitation than we were as Soloists.. It is sad that today this no more the case but the opposite is prevalent . Another sad thing is that in my almost forty years of Orchestra playing in Germany, E. Bloch has never been played.. Probably till today the Germans cannot understand the Jewish soul.
Hmm. You could also write "Stars on the Mountain." In any case, I share your enthusiasm for this wonderful performance of one of the world's all time finest pieces.
EPIC. The absolute platinum standard. No one can interpret this piece like Rose (there is a fantastic recording of him with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy. It's a bit slower and more deliberate in places than this version, but just as gorgeous).

You have to listen to Truls Mørk, it's even better.
I wrote Stars In the Night, often listening to the music of Ernest Bloch. If there is anyone composition that I have used in drafting my screenplay as a film score it is the music in from "Schelomo ( As in King Solomon) : A Hebrew Rhapsody and Concerto for Cello."" this video and recording is as good as it gets, and there is no work for cello that comes close to this one in drawing the soul of the listener to the Almighty. I kvell every time I listen to it. You will too...
Happy Birthday Ernest Bloch. And I've so loved this piece ever since I was a high school student and studying the cello. (But what on earth is Maazel wearing?!)
What can be more geeky than having a flame war about who was the greatest cellist. Nobody on the comments here is a great cellist, that's for sure. Slava would urge all of us to shut up and practice.
+Chris Devoe Please tell me that was a well-crafted joke, or that by now your once inexplicably dimmed mind has been magically enlightened by the powerful yet sweet strains of Rostropovich...
Shafran does rule. Rostropovich actively worked against Shafran to suppress his career and promote himself. Not to mention Rostropovich has a hideous tone, except perhaps on very intense A string notes. I'll give him that.
This is the ultimate recording of Schelomo. Rose played it like no one else, and his collaboration with the Cleveland Orchestra is superior.
Why is this composer not listened to more!? His compositions are some of the best I’ve ever heard. Especially his piece, “Avodath Hakodesh.”
Leonard Rose is my personal favorite cellist of all time. This performance demonstrates his mastery of the instrument as well as his artistry as a musician. Cellists are fortunate to enjoy his legacy in so many works for cello edited by this legendary performer.
I agree
Oh such mastery of the bow! Oh,...and he plays perfectly in tune.
Rose masters this "chef d'oeuvre" like no other
A masterpiece!!!!!
That last note... timeless, haunting, and captured forever on UA-cam.
Bloch is completely underrated, what a masterpiece
He's _not_ underrated, he is underappreciated.
My orchestra just performed this with our principal cellist as soloist. What a phenomenal piece!
His performance is magnificient!!
What a treat to see all the legendary first desk players here from the Szell era such as Bernard Adelstein, Ronald Bishop, Cloyd Duff, Maurice Sharp, John Mack, George Goslee, Robert Boyd, Daniel Majeske, Bernhard Goldschmidt - to name but a few, of course.... : )
i think first clarinet is the young David Shifrin here,who played only for one season...
Thank you for this treasure! Fascinating to see Leonard Rose in action...........
One of my favorite solo pieces. That oboe bassoon duet is just soooo nice 👌👌
What an extraordinary of Leonard Rose's artistry (and the the Cleveland Orchestra and Maazel as well)! The camera work, particularly of the solo cello, is superb--we can see his technique from nearly every possible angle.
As a cellist myself I find this performance very insightful in regards to Rose's technique. It is lovely to watch.
Absolutely wonderful - emotional playing with superb technique
Timeless performance.
Quelle belle musique ! quelle superbe interprétation ! l'enregistrement est exemplaire , il nous laisse admirer Léonard Rose dans toute sa prestance...bravo !
SUBLIME !!! What a great artist ! Why there are nomore musicians like this genius ?
Silly comment... there are many great cellists at this level today.
Truls Mørk it's even better.
Quanta straordinaria viscerale passione in questo brano famosissimo che si rivela nelle trame di una musica travolgente e fortemente espressiva Grandi Bloch,Maazel,Rose.
Wonderful piece and a great cellist!!
Another BLoch masterpiece
Thanks for sharing this video. One of the great cellists!
Such an amazing piece of music.......It should be performed more often by all the world's great cellists !. This is a great performance too !.
I am partial to the 1961 Rose recording with Ormandy/Philadelphia, but this is such a close second you need a razor blade to separate them!
Concert of April 13, 1976. Also on the program was Bloch's "America". Thank you for posting this great reading of Schelomo in wonderful sound! Cleveland Orchestra, as usual, sounds terrific, too.
If you've played this (I did, not as soloist, but in my college orchestra) you know this is a perfect rendition! Bravo!!
I believe this was recorded not too long before Rose's death. He was a superb teacher and cellist. Thank you for posting this magnificent performance.
Actually, Rose would live another 8 years until leukemia took his life. Still, you can see how life took a toll on him through a demanding performing and teaching schedule.
I Love Rose :*
That was epic
Quando nasceranno violoncellisti come Rose notevole îl fascino Della qualita’del suono adaptor al tipo Di Musica grande grande grande
Какая интересная музыка! Впервые слышу музыку этого композитора, и в полном восторге! Это же настоящее чудо: столько страсти, разных эмоций - целая палитра! Можно снять целый фильм на основе этого произведения - настолько видна фабула,сюжетная линия
Beautiful to get to experience this amazing piece and performance again! Thank you for sharing this film with us!
best version of this piece by far
Agreed!
The Best one It's by Truls Mørk
Best best!!
une oeuvre majeure, magnifiquement interprétée !
Thank you for posting this film!
The Way it is Supposed to Be Done
EXACTLY!
Great performance of a great piece!
RIP Lorin Maazel.
More to the point- can we please stop comparing? We're talking of great artists here, they're all different. Just enjoy the music you're hearing!
Meu cellista predileto....
Back then we were taught to serve the music and the componist 's intention. The composition was more important in its recitation than we were as Soloists.. It is sad that today this no more the case but the opposite is prevalent . Another sad thing is that in my almost forty years of Orchestra playing in Germany, E. Bloch has never been played..

Bliss!
WOWWWWWW
Meraviglioso
Dat tone.
Hmm. You could also write "Stars on the Mountain." In any case, I share your enthusiasm for this wonderful performance of one of the world's all time finest pieces.
A fantastic work
The best. No comparison.....
EPIC. The absolute platinum standard. No one can interpret this piece like Rose (there is a fantastic recording of him with the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy. It's a bit slower and more deliberate in places than this version, but just as gorgeous).
You have to listen to Truls Mørk, it's even better.
His nephew, the wonderful cellist Gary Hoffman, has Rose's Amati now.
Yes, he does.
And our Gonzaga Symphony orchestra just performed Schelomo with Gary a couple of days ago. Awesome performance. With the Amati, of course.
I wrote Stars In the Night, often listening to the music of Ernest Bloch. If there is anyone composition that I have used in drafting my screenplay as a film score it is the music in from "Schelomo ( As in King Solomon) : A Hebrew Rhapsody and Concerto for Cello."" this video and recording is as good as it gets, and there is no work for cello that comes close to this one in drawing the soul of the listener to the Almighty. I kvell every time I listen to it. You will too...
Can you find a more brilliant passionate performance as played by Leonard Rose??
Terrific performance!
ya, Rostropovich captures the jewish spirit better.
Listen to Ofra Harnoy too.
Yes, listen to Truls Mørk
Happy Birthday Ernest Bloch. And I've so loved this piece ever since I was a high school student and studying the cello. (But what on earth is Maazel wearing?!)

Thank you for posting! Was any more of this concert recorded?
Leonard Rose was da mensch when it came to Schelomo!
nice
Ofra Harnoy also does a lovely rich version of this great work.
0:25 is a good place to start.
Maazel's facial mimicry reminds me of Mr. Bean.
Try listening to Zara Nelsova in this piece!
Rostropovich can't compare
very good. but get hold of Nelosva's Schelomo.
Struggente
We need to stop this ridiculous blind devotion to Rostropovich. Let's start honoring truly great cellists.
Rostropovich is a truly great cellist (:
Undoubtedly. But we've put him on way too high of a pedestal.
He is so overrated. Shafran rules!
+Chris Devoe Please tell me that was a well-crafted joke, or that by now your once inexplicably dimmed mind has been magically enlightened by the powerful yet sweet strains of Rostropovich...
Shafran does rule. Rostropovich actively worked against Shafran to suppress his career and promote himself. Not to mention Rostropovich has a hideous tone, except perhaps on very intense A string notes. I'll give him that.
This interpretation is too fast IMHO , the best is the Bernstein & Rostropovich one .
AUDIOPHILE CLASSICS there is a slower one with Rose but I don't know who the conductor or orchestra is
I believe you're referring to the Rose recording with Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Fantastic version.
More to the point- can we please stop comparing? We're talking of great artists here, they're all different. Just enjoy the music you're hearing!
muy bien
Rostropovich is exactly 7,6 cm and 11 g better! 😉
Try listening to Zara Nelsova in this piece!
