He was my dads cello teacher, and transformed him into an amazing player. Now, my dad is helping me become an amazing player; I'm playing this piece now. I've never met Leonard Rose, but it's really cool how his playing has been passed down to me. Of course, I'm no where near his level, but without him, I would not be as good as I am today, nor my dad.
I got the chance to play his incredible Amati cello when I was at Juilliard Pre-College Division in 1977. The Pre-college Division classes are on Saturdays only. Mr. Rose gave lessons in the same room in the college division during the week that my cello teacher used on Saturdays. He had left his cello in the classroom closet one Saturday or some reason. My teacher asked me if I would like to play Leonard Rose’s cello. My teacher opened the closet and took his cello out of the case. She said “Don’t tell anyone”. I played a good part of Saint-Sean’s Cello Concerto that I was learning on his Amati before we put it away. What a difference his cello made. It was a thrill. I never sounded as good. I didn’t become a musician as a livelihood, but I still play my “not nearly as good as an Amati” cello.
I worked for Leonard Rose at Juilliard. He was a warm, easy going person, and, of course, a living legend at the school and around the world. It was deeply saddening to hear of his health decline and passing. He was a lovely, gentlemanly, and warm-hearted human being, and a cellist of impeccable taste and virtuosity.
Maravillosa interpretación del Prestigioso Maestro y Excepcional Violonchelista ; ejecuta la Obra Maestra con una Magistral tempestuosidad ; unido a una Magestuosidad deslumbrante .
The anguish, the painful romance, and the fiery tempest-like character of this piece smothered with a very hallucinatory technical wizardry...what do we get?!!?? First class art
its an amazing piece, and hard too. Especially when tercet comes right after 8th note. Furthermore for the all of those {6 of 16th notes in one tempo) 16th notes and learn how to play them more rhythmically. Even though you've done all of that rhythmical work, you still have to figure out how you will gonna make music in that. But this guy totally made me shut up. It was such an amazing play with an amazing piece. Its very delightful and joyful when you listen to good musics, by good musicians!

I'm playing this for college auditions. It is definitely the epitome of epic cello playing!
Thank you. Leonard Rose was a magnificent cellist. My hero.

Rose had a very beautiful sound!
Wow. This is the recording that marries all the elements together seamlessly. I mean, wow...
Perfeito.....melhor cellista de todos os tempos...

I have this playing non stop ever since I saw it live. ♡
....It's hard to believe what I'm hearing from Mr. Leonard Rose.....the ideal cellist to me.
Excellent quality recording. Thank you.

Lalala lalo! This is why I play cello! (In Russian accent for no apparent reason). Because it is beast.
I love this. I am playing it right now and it just sounds beautiful
Rose is playing his cello so hairrising masterly in this performance with Ormandy, that 'long fur' at the arms is the result!
The platinum standard, forget gold, you won’t find a better performance period!!!!
