@21:20 the master demonstrates shifting all the way up, then explains how it can be done when tension is released (from Rococo var.) @23:54 explains bowing principles @28:07 describes playing Tchaikowsky like Mozart @29:51 bowing arpeggios
If this video was taken in 1993, then Starker was 69 years old. Nobody plays as good as he did at such age, not Rostropovich, or Fournier, or Piatigorsky, not even Yo-Yo Ma, maybe if Feuermann could live long enough......
Yi Xin Except maybe Lynn Harrell. I saw Lynn Harrell play Tchaikovsky's Rococo Variations back in September (2014) and he's 71. He was phenomenal...absolutely flawless with youthful energy. That being said, Starker was probably one of the most skilled cellists that ever lived.
Watch the Harvey Shapiro videos from the Cello Academy. He was in his 90's and still extraordinary. And listen to the CD of his live performance in Japan- he was either in his 80's or 90's. And all of this after years of painful arthritis which forced him to relearn his technique. He was a great artist with a superb mastery of the instrument's sonorities.
I don't see the point in comparing the playing of such great cellists 'at a particular age'. They were great. Starker was great. Slava was great. I studied with both of them, I heard them play (endlessly) up close. Great.
Gracias por el video... Tuve la suerte de escucharle y masterclass en Oviedo hace muchos años... Un genio! Si tienes videos más en español no dudes en subirlos...harás un grandisimo favor a los cellistas... Gracias Germán
Es una lástima que la calidad del audio sea tan pobre. Aun así, este video es una joya. Valiosísima información sobre el manejo del arco para todo estudiante del violonchelo. Starker no solo era un intérprete del mas alto nivel, ademas era un gran educador. Gracias por compartir. Si no me equivoco el "estudiante" en el video es el maestro Luis Miguel Rojas, hoy día (2015) violonchelista principal de la orquesta sinfónica de Puerto Rico y profesor del conservatorio de música.
I’ve been listening to, and watching Starker play the cello for almost 50 years. His ease of execution is still amazing to me.
Starker was a MASTER at the masterclass.

Daniil Shafran is the one
Casals played better at 80 than anyone that age !

Try listening on speakers. It's fine on my laptop.
What a great lesson.
One may not agree with some of the interpretative decisions, but the exercises for the physical preparation of the body are valuable.
Very interesting! Transkript or subtitles would be good 😊
Gracias por el vídeo
Maistro molto❤❤❤❤

32:07 -- 33:50 how cool, with cigarette in the hand :-)

Hilarious caricatures...
Who is the student in this video?
Luis Miguel Rojas, principal cello of the Puerto Rican Symphony
la intérprete habla muy bajito, no se escucha lo que traduce
