As a former professional cellist this is one of my top 5 cello performances. He makes it look so easy. It may not be the most technical piece but his arrangement, intonation, and pacing of this song amazing.
@@braydenk.8348 Completely, Cellos are much more difficult than Violins for sure. In fact, Violins are the easiest of the four classical orchestra instruments.
I wish people were more aware of how difficult it is to play with intonation this great with such a clear sound. I'm so thankful that I got to watch this video!
@rrcc8367 There are different ways to play each piece. I played a grade 8 piece 2 months after I started - got all the notes, but sounded like trash. It's about the execution here. It's the artistry that makes a song easy or difficult, not the notes. The intonation esp on the double stops at the top end takes a lot of practice, and putting drama into a song is by no means easy. If you want to just hit the notes, ya, anyone can do it. If you want to sound good, or emotional...it's not easy.
As a good amateur cellist, I'm in awe. The double stops so cleanly played are remarkable. He plays musically, with soul and perfect intonation a supremely difficult piece. Much much easier on the organ.
There is a similar section to this in the third mvmt of the saint saens cello concerto if you want to hear more. Octaves are a wonderful thing on the cello.
So I came here simply because I'm on a UA-cam binge of different Instruments covering this piece, and I sort just jokingly thought to myself, "Huh I wonder if anyone has attempted this on Cello..." Not just attempted, as it turns out, but _mastered_ !
To the 229 dislikes, how sad for you! His style, his fingering and love for his cello is beautiful and haunting. This is why I picked up my cello after 10 yrs.
What I find most beautiful, is the Greek influence in this performance. The slight "slurs" and bending of notes at particular transitions. Gives me chills. And the acoustics are insane; the low bass resonance. This is now my most favorite version of this piece. Truly amazing. Thank you!!!
I agree. I've played this piece on the piano. It's ten times more difficult on the cello. I am a good cellist but I would never be able to play this piece with such clear perfection intonation. Man is a genius.
This guy is a legend! How can one thumb down with critics about his hands positions? Thelonious Monk was a genious at playing piano and who cared about his fingering or seating position? The most important is the music not how you hold the instrument. Music is art and people express it in different ways so seat back and enjoy it.
What a wonderful arrangement and fantastically perfect played Constandino. My admiration and respect for you. Wonderful musician!!!!! Amazing. You trancribed it 1 tone lower for the open strings BRAVO!!!
I am in love, this man is fantastic, he and his cello make more than music, he builds substance emotion and musical colour. he inspires me to torture my own cello with poor attempts.
You obviously have that wind of inspiration and magnetism that goes beyond just technique alone. You are amazing. Thanks for blessing us with your performance!
Holy! As a cello player myself, I though this would be an impossible piece of music to play (like this) with cello. This is marvellous! I wonder who has arranged this - maybe himself?
This was nicely arranged to get as much polyphony out of it as possible. Not only double-stops, but also using the opportunity to pizzicato adjacent strings. Bravo!
Extraordinario, so fined.. Big magic musician.. God bless alwais yuar life and giant art..im a guitarist..I can see yuar top one level super junger master.. Thank Yu very much spetial for shared. Pleae yu receve my hug. Thank Yu.
I'am gonna lie down my violin to learn cello, since this instrument suits me better in every aspect- playing this piece ob music will be my goal to achieve :D
Dimitrios Doulias thanks for sharing this. What was the acoustical space like? Big room ? Small room? What was in it? Is that a piano next to you? I wonder if it was resonating sympathetically and adding a distant reverb if it’s own? Although those mics polar pattern might have rejected it
Man this is brilliant. Cello is by far my favorite classical string instrument second only to guitar. Those highs...those lows! Would love to own one sometime. This is very inspiring.
Far more difficult than the violin. I started cello at age ten and have become a good amateur cellis. Professionally I'm a literary translator. I studied violin for two yrs and was very surprised at how easier the violin is than the cello.
Both difficult, just requires two different physiques when it comes to your hands. You need long fingers with narrow palms to play violin. People with wider palms and mid sized fingers do best with cello. I was an awful violinist, but it’s just because I didn’t have the hands for it. Cello has been much less frustrating for me.
As a former professional cellist this is one of my top 5 cello performances. He makes it look so easy. It may not be the most technical piece but his arrangement, intonation, and pacing of this song amazing.
His double stops were insanely clean, which I’d argue are quite difficult to execute on the cello compared to the violin.
I've been a regular on this video since I found it (3 years already). Truly a masterpiece. I dont think I'll ever stop listening.
ikr i am kind of an amateur but ican play alot of songs and i can say this is abaut impossible for me
@@braydenk.8348 Completely, Cellos are much more difficult than Violins for sure. In fact, Violins are the easiest of the four classical orchestra instruments.
@@braydenk.8348 Absolutely. Unbelievable!
This man, to put it simply, is an absolute musical genius of a cellist.
👏👏👏👏

Very clear sound it is very nice

@@nebulasky6863 Far from anybody can play this piece. It's incredibly difficult. I'm a good amateur cellist.
This piece is incredibly difficult. I'm also a good amateur cellist. This is really great mastery here

This video is why I chose to learn cello as an adult a year ago.
Oh man, 4:36 to 4:44 is possibly the most incredible sound I've ever heard from a cello.
There is a similar section to this in the third mvmt of the saint saens cello concerto if you want to hear more. Octaves are a wonderful thing on the cello.
@@nuffim3277 But very difficult to play in tune.
So I came here simply because I'm on a UA-cam binge of different Instruments covering this piece, and I sort just jokingly thought to myself, "Huh I wonder if anyone has attempted this on Cello..." Not just attempted, as it turns out, but _mastered_ !
Harp versions are also great.
OMG! Sweet example of why humankind deserve to be here
The reverb of the room just adds so much depth this is an incredible performance
To the 229 dislikes, how sad for you! His style, his fingering and love for his cello is beautiful and haunting. This is why I picked up my cello after 10 yrs.
the beauty of this piece alone is fascinating but if you've ever played cello you know how unfathomably difficult this must be
Yes! Almost impossible. Far easier on the violin.
Technique: unconventional
Performance: incredible
Это гениальное исполнение. Страшно представить - на какой уровень мастерства поднялся. Это уровень самых великих музыкантов.
125 organists disliked this, cause he just whooped your ass
Doing it all with two limbs instead of four is pique modern man.
Heuehehe
Bach is amazing, you are amazing. Life is amazing.
I am amazing as well.
I have listened to (and watched) this video so many times. I come back to it now and then. Everytime it is such a profound experience.
I'm not a musician. I know literally jack shit about music. I just know I like this.
u seen luke smiths new podcast?
You don't have to know anything about music to enjoy it.
Thanks, my good NPC
If you like it your a musician
it doesnt matter orange man bad!

The angels are weeping tears of pure joy over this.
Meu Deus do céu amado, isto está em outro nível...
This si actually one of the most amazing cello performances i have ever seen
I damn near blew out my car speakers listening to this on break at work
Correction, this is a toccata in D minor originally, but this one is transposed in C minor for cello
Kavier V Piano That's what I thought, too. He played his open C string at 0:43 even though it's supposed to be a D. Still a great piece in any key.
Thanks Captain Obvious
what if he did a drop D tuning :P
well he didn't but it doesn't matter it's nice even in c minor
Nick Shelton
Not sure, but it would be costly.
The trascription in C minor is well done, and the performance is one of the best I've ever heard! Simply amazing!
Absolutely beautiful performance. A very soulful sound and skilfully delivered with such precision.
he bought the whole cello, so he's gonna use THE WHOLE CELLO. absolutely flawless performance
Very well transcribed for solo strings... and powerfully played. Impressed!
Why would anyone want to downvote this. A serious young cellist. Very interesting arrangement.
That was stupendous! What a technique, what a sound!
You are a masterful musician and superb cellist.. I salute you
I can't stop listening to it. It's so powerful. The sound, the echo, he's very good.
My favorite work for an organ. It's even been done on a harp. I wouldn't have believed it possible on a cello. This is fantastic.
I agree. I've played this piece on the piano. It's ten times more difficult on the cello. I am a good cellist but I would never be able to play this piece with such clear perfection intonation. Man is a genius.
Great transcription, powerful performance and a clear pure intonation!
Vibrating those strings into a melancholic resonance streams into an exceptional serenity. Beautiful rendition!
It penetrated to the depths of the soul. Bravo!
This guy is a legend! How can one thumb down with critics about his hands positions? Thelonious Monk was a genious at playing piano and who cared about his fingering or seating position? The most important is the music not how you hold the instrument. Music is art and people express it in different ways so seat back and enjoy it.
Double stops are amazing and and excellent demonstration of rubato properly employed!
I downloaded it to my MP3 player...that how well this guy plays it...I am not a classic music lover but it made me lay back and think about life...
HE WENT OFF THE FINGERBOARD...............This is amazing
The thought that anyone could give this performance a thumbs down boggles my mind.
Este es uno de mis instrumentos favoritos, junto al violin y la guitarra.
Excelente interpretación del maestro, felicidades.
I’m speechless. I was absolutely captivated for every second.
His technique elicits a beautiful resonance from an incredible instrument that complies to perfection!! Bravo young man! Bach 😌
*breaks the replay button*

So beautiful! Cello speaks to the soul!
Most beautiful instrument and the closes to the human voice.
Sorry, closest.
Solo puedo ponerme de pie y aplaudir!!! Me dejó el pecho lleno de magia esta interpretación!! Gracias por compartir

I always come back to watch this... you re amazing
Amazing, I've watched this over and over for a while now and each time my hairs raise, I can't praise it enough!
Samantha Patrick I'm partly afraid to open up that storm of emotion again.
My only question is who would dislike this?
+ Nikeyta Robinson no te gusta? debes tener cera en los oidos....es escuchas lady gaga?
lmao I was being sarcastic, I love it. I asked who would dislike it? I hate lady gaga. And you must not read English very well.
ajaja no, viste? no soy del primer mundo. Todo bien "nikita"
+Nikeyta Robinson those who watched this upside down
+Bor Ogoro lmao
Aunque el Cello tiene límites, siempre es sublime. Esto es elevar la música a niveles divinos. No imagino la pieza completa a 2 cellos.
Wow... Such power!!! Truly amazing performance with excellent tone. Very impressive!
so unbelievably beautiful and his vibrato is so unbelievably perfect. Everything was perfect.
SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL. That guy can take me home any time of the day.
This really captures the heart of the piece.
Pure delight, my eyes are wet.....thank you so much for this
this man is good at the cello
more like in C minor!
Absolutely spectacular!

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know nothing about Bach but... with my eyes closed, this is so beautiful and emotional. I love it.
Meu Deus, lindo demais!!!
Pizzicato and chords at the same time while soling. This is too good
Thank you for this...this has propelled me in personal practice and is so beautifully done.
Beautiful. Beautiful work and a beautiful soul playing.

It’s one of the best things I have seen on UA-cam
I bought a violin but I’ve lately been looking at cellos thinking it may be easier to learn.
Far more difficult than the violin. I started cello at age ten and have become a good amateur cellis. Professionally I'm a literary translator. I studied violin for two yrs and was very surprised at how easier the violin is than the cello.
