Bach - Cello Suite no. 5 in C minor BWV 1011 - Suzuki | Netherlands Bach Society
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 тра 2024
- Bach could make a cello throb like an organ, as shown in the Cello Suite no. 5 in C minor, performed by Hidemi Suzuki for All of Bach. It is the darkest of the set of Six Cello Suites. The Prelude arises from the depths like an organ prelude, culminating in what appears to be a fugue, however difficult it may be in practice to play a fugue on one cello.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on August 25th 2017 at KIT Royal Tropical Institute, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

Netherlands Bach Society GREAT!
Wonderful Music!
Great Musician!
Muchas Gracias por el Valioso Aporte. amo la musica de Bach y esta pieza es muy BIEN Ejecutada.
The depth if that cello and the grittiness is frankly superb, hearing it in proper gut string is crazy
Those Larsen string will do!!
As a mediocre piano player, I've always loved classical music. But as I've gotten older I've noticed my tastes have mellowed out. I can't believe that 10 years ago I would have considered this boring. Lord have mercy, this is an absolutely beautiful interpretation of this Suite. I have chills.
It is indeed a beautiful interpretatioon, Jasiel! By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand. I feel myself like a sort of non-official ambassador for his music - and, effectively, also one of his few supporters. He is very, very talented. You won't be disappointed. ua-cam.com/users/WFerdinand

Turn this up and boost the sub-woofer it creeps into your soul !!
κύριε ελέησον
As a mediocre cello player this has been my favorite cello piece since I was 15, 16 years ago. It's worth listening to all the major renditions you can find because bach can be interpreted so many different ways. Anner Bylsma is probably closest to the way it was written but this is definitely one of my favorites
I know it isnt in the credits, but well shot, well lit, well edited and his clothes are pretty classy. Bravo! Silent and behind the scenes important people!
Thank you! If you ever wonder who these people behind the scenes are, you can visit www.bachvereniging.nl/en/bwv/bwv-1011/ and check the 'Credits' tab.
But who made his cello bow?
@@bach Oh wow. Seriously impressed. This is how things should be done ..
Not to mention a great recording! Gee, this makes me want to go to the Netherlands. Perhaps Austria has lost it touch.
Agreed. Production quality couldn’t be better. Superb sound quality and visuals.
OMG. This is some profound interpretation, coming from the other world, maybe Bach is whispering to us between the notes. So much measure and precision, and no hurry. And that cello has some rough voice at some times. Bravo M. Suzuki, this is truly remarkable.
I just love how deep this cello sounds

Always the mystery of the cello's tone is like an echo in the abyss and yet SUBLIME!
Period tuning 415hz and that amazing cello ! Probably cost more than my house ? But worth it !!
could it also be the greater ' sononic mass ' of those gut strings, who look thicker than the usual modern strings?
Suzuki-sensei, this was amazing, Arigatai koto ni! For most of my life, I played the violoncello as an avid amateur but after my decade-long battle with cancer, transplant, and sequelae, I can no longer play because of extensive permanent nerve damage.. It fills me with grief to lose my greatest outlet, but it is what it is. Performances such as this bring the magic back for a few moments, and for that, I am deeply grateful.
I know it doesn't matter, but I feel your pain. I wish you a pain-free and healthy life. May you be able to resume playing cello.
As long as you've got a brain attached to an ear you can make it work 😂
I wish you the best health, sir. Greetings
Hi Marc, the vibration will always stay with us. That is music cast on our heartstrings.
I wish you the best health, Marc! :)
Many thanks from Brazil to the Netherlands Bach Society for giving us such magnificent performances

Who cares about Twitter, Facebook, Instagram we don't need any of that glitter. The world is mad, and this piece is the antidote. So serene.
The astonishing musicianship combined with the character of the instrument and the wonderful reverb of the room make my tears flow like rain.
those notes just cut through me like razor-sharp steel blades but land on my ears almost pillow-like. Such a delicate balance of harmony and pain. Masterful, delightful, perfection.
I was practicing guitar picking techniques, and my phone recognized it as this song. I'm honored, I guess?
I'm a pianist and after hearing that, I'm learning cello.
!!! (a verdade é que "a" obra alguma vez escrita para violancelo...)
That's exactly what I was thinking to write off; in fact, I did already buy a cello!
Still trying to figure out how to hold the bow lol
@@marcosorrentiakaditirambo9306 & @Avijit Das Any progress?
@@MagicBlubber not really... To be honest im focusing 150% at my piano repertoire atm. But the cello's right aside to the piano so, today I could try some slow C Major / minor scales ..
@@marcosorrentiakaditirambo9306 Best of luck to you in both piano and cello. The latter is a beautiful instrument!
My goodness, what a beautiful performance! Flawless, perfect phrasing, accents, speed and sonorous intensity of resonance. Hidemi Suzuki makes the cello resonate a magical blend of delightful sounds. A magistral interpretation!
Always the mystery of the cello's tone is like an echo in the abyss and yet SUBLIME! KUDOS to Netherlands Bach Society in their choice of musicians and selected Bach themes.
Suzuki Hidemi is the brother of Suzuki Masaaki, a famous Bach conductor and organist. They devoted their lives to Johan Sebastian Bach.
And they have reaped no end of reward!!
Then who's Suzuki hayabusa?
It is a life worth living if you live it like that..
@@asitisfilms3499 lmao no one got it
@@asitisfilms3499 . No talking in concert hall.
Nearly 30 years ago, Hidemi Suzuki's rendition of Cello suites was my best favorite besides Kazuhito Yamashita's guitar version. In this clip, I have heard his rendition again first time after so many years. I still find it more to my taste than those of more famous cellists.
This man is incredibly skilled. I think very few people really know how difficult it is to play a Suite like this. The sad part is that that the world don't know this man's name, but the names of far lesser skilled players on instruments that are far easier to play are worshiped as gods.
Honestly he probably doesn’t care. He plays this music because it speaks to his soul and he shares it with those willing to listen.
He is known, to those that know ! .....Ya know
I know him as we studied at the same time together with Anner Bijlsma in The Netherlands.
preach!
Suzuki Hidemi is his name.
Many thanks from Ireland to the Netherlands Bach Society for giving us such stellar performances.

No day without Bach!
I've been listening to Bach's Six Cello Suites for over 30 years and every day is as if I am listening to them for the first time.
Agreed!
I used them as my study music every day for a few months and I thought that was a lot. Impressive!
Потрясающе! Играть Баха на таком инструменте нелегко, но исполнение великолепное!
The music exhibits the varied moods of the soul and in this, the fifth of his cello suites, Bach expresses stoicism, the pain which one walks, resigned but upright.
Interesting, in a good way
Very well pointed out, Carlos. By the way, I kindly recommend the appreciation of the work of a living classical composer dedicated mostly to sacred music: W. Ferdinand.

When I heard that throbing note at the begining of the prelude, its extremelly elegant ornamentation brought to mind the same opening line for the lute suite BWV995. How incredible my surprise and astonishment at learning that the fifth cello suite and the first lute suite are identical. BWV995 is my favorite of all of Bach's oeuvre, its complexity and its emotional depth when played on the lute ensares me, so to here it on a bowed instrument creates a powerful juxtopostion, the delicate intimacy of the lute transformed into something so utterly dark and rich and resonant is terrific. I still greatly enjoy the lute suite, as to be able to play it require such tremendous ability as to be almost impossible, and the sound of the lute is so mystically resonant, but I have always wanted to here it with greater dynamic shifts, a very hard thing to do on a lute, not impossible, but difficult. This recording does that for me. It makes my soul sing and my imagination deepen and expand. What a temendously powerful performance!
Έχεις απόλυτο δίκιο. Όμως το γεγονός ότι η σύνθεση εκτελεσμένη στο τσέλο αναδεικνύει καλύτερα όλες τις συνθετικές τοποθετήσεις του συνθέτη, δηλώνει ότι σαφώς η σύνθεση γράφτηκε για τσέλο και απλά μεταγράφτηκε για λαούτο αυτούσιο από το γράφοντα. Σαφώς και τον ευχαριστούμε, γιατί έτσι δικαιώνει όλους όσους, συνθέτες και εκτελεστές, συνεχίζουν να μεταγράφουν άλλα έργα του ιδίου για πάσης φύσεως άλλα όργανα, κλασικά ή μη. Δεν γνωρίζω αν άλλοι σύγχρονοί του συνθέτες ή πριν έκαναν το ίδιο με τις συνθέσεις τους. Εκτιμώ πάρα πολύ ότι ο Μπαχ εργαζόταν με όρους πειράματος και επιστημονικής λογικής που βασιζόταν κατά κάποιο τρόπο σε "εργαστήριά" όπως θα λέγαμε σήμερα από άποψη ορολογίας θετικών επιστημών.
@@khgkfghru858dfh he aprendido mucho de sus comentarios, salud y que viva el arte.
What means ensares?
In fact, this is the original one. Lute's version is a Bach's own transcription of the cello suite.
@pretty boy I see, thanks a lot!
This suite always gives me that feeling of a huge welling up right in the middle of my chest:
profound sorrow, ecstasy...both combined almost to the point of being overwhelmed, but not quite.
God, I love this.
My experience almost exactly! Such a range of powerful emotions.
I intended to listen for just a moment but I got sucked in and stayed for the whole thing. Glad I did.
my mom played cello. my dad played martin guitar with brace five string banjo hand carved fiddle a bit of piano. mom's sister played french horn. her by law dad was mister rasmus who built instrument cases for the Australian youth symphony orchestra. so you see i grew up with music and musical instruments - bluegrass, classical, punk, gothic, electronica - all of my life. thank you very much for this sharing it is great work.
I will listen to this again and again

From my days learning these suites, this one was always my favorite.
What absolute gorgeous space! What I'd give to play in a room like that, it must have been absolutely amazing to experience it there.
And seriously, some day when you finish all of Bach and make some kind of audio release on a CD collection or other, I'm totally there! Every single recording from strings, organ, vocal, all absolutely amazing!!!
Hide-The-Pain Harold finally lets it all out, and the results are beautiful
Their are many mansions in the Cello Suites; this is one of my favorites; he and his brother are wonderful performers of Bach.
I love the old 415 tuning and that cello sounds incredibly powerful !!! I bet just being in the same room with him is amazing !!
Ah, that explains why most of these performance are down by a semitone! Thanks, Dark One.
bachs music has something that makes it addictive
This channel is absolutely legit.
Thanks to all of the people that make this available for everyone for absolutely free.
There's something otherworldly about a baroque solo being performed by a master.
I have heard these pieces so ridiculously many times. This gentleman really, really did a great job. If he wiggled a finger and flubbed a note, I didnt catch it. Technique was sublime, and he did a great job of interpreting the music. Putting mood into it. Very well done.
I was around eight years old first time I heard Bach and something happens to me Its like healing for my soul, my heartbeats, my breath I'm in complete balance. I love Bach Collegium and Maestro Suzuki plays in away I gets my complete attention.
They say it's the darkest of the suites, but without the darkness there is no light. Without the blackness of the soul and absence of light there is no context to allow other colors to shine. There is a certain joy in the melancholy and song of victory in the tones of defeat.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
小林よしのり氏が描いていた「陰影礼賛」に通じると受け止めました。
That tone. Good lord. 😳 Absolutely stunning. This is the best interpretation I’ve heard since Fournier. Just wow, man.
So wonderful. the depth of the tune sounds back the soul of man.
This music fills my heart with hope. Nowadays, my country needs a little love in people´s heart. Thanks Netherlands Bach Society for sharing this the wonderful music ! Love from Brazil.
Listening from Brazil too. Abraço!
Forza! Fr south korea.

This suite is one tough nut to crack, and Suzuki nails it. Immediately started scouring youtube for more Suzuki! Ahh, life's good...
I love that sound of grinding resin
but why
I thought them part synthetic... lot of resin and muscle..
These performances are so exquisite. Each one is like a discovery of an enchanted land. I love them all!

Good grief! -- the recording engineer did a magnificent job! Lovely performance too, of course.
Suzuki is the greatest celloist in the world - he plays with artistic nuance and soul in a way that makes his flow eccentric with a texture of another world. He is a master of masters.
Even though everyone’s Bach is different. This is one of the best approach of cello’s Bach suite I have ever listened to.
Agreed
I think this might be my new favourite interpretation of this suite. Perhaps Suzuki might even be my new favourite cellist.
Then there are two of us !!
Yeah. Honestly this is as good as Fournier or Casals, just different.
I never thought I would love any recording as much as I love the Rostropovich. This is better.
it is no possible to play this music better than this magnificat cellist Suzuki
This right here. This is what the cello was built for.
I can't believe this, but I actually started crying from seeing and hearing this performance. It's so beautiful!
Overwhelming in such a wonderful way. Love that feeling.
Yeah, Bach will do that to you.
Sorry, but you need a good therapist.
Yep....that's "Bach N Roll".
Mrs acing, I understand! Don’t let anybody talk you out off your experience.
Mr. Suzuky is a great maestro. Thank you!!

Thanks again for another wonderful upload. I’ve always loved the cello suites and have spent a percentage of my life trying to master guitar arrangements of them
I love everything about this video!!
It’s amazing all this can be generated by one man and one Cello
And a baroque bow? ^^
You missed a part: "... playing Bach". There. Fixed it for you.
Bach implies melody, harmony, rhythm, movement, and emotions with mostly monophonic music. That is genius complemented with technique!
That is a beautiful building. The heavenly music complements it very well
I also love 6,1 and 3.. but naturally also 4, 5 and 2
This is the entry of the actual hall. www.kit.nl/en/conferences-events/possibilities/other-events/?setLang=en I often went there to listen to Indian ragas. The hall has a beautiful wooden ceiling. www.kit.nl/room/queen-maxima-hall/
It's amazing the amount of different sounds that can come out of one instrument.
Blows my mind that that cello is over half a millennium old. How many lives have come and gone while it remains? You can almost hear it mourn the passage of eons...
Sigh... So beautiful!! The music, musician, setting, filming, everything... Thank you NBS!!
I'm in Awe in LA. Thank you for the privilege to be able to witness such a great master cellist. Especially, as a student of the Suzuki cello method!
You know this is not the same Suzuki as your method's?
感動しました、渾身の演奏。
Love to hear your music."Bach" hats off for arrangement of such an amazing musical entertainment.Love it.
This is the most beautiful video I've seen in a long time. The performance. The music. The set and lightening. The video. The editing. The clothes. Just wow.
WOW! ! WHAT A RICH SOUND ! GREAT ACOUSTICS IN THIS RECORDING.
Simplemente bello, gracias por compartir esta música tan hermosa
Mis respetos para el compositor, para el artista que toca ese maravilloso instrumento y el escenario es formidable. Esto si es musica.
Good to hear the scordatura being used for this (A-string tuned to g). Gives a whole new aspect to this 'dark' work.
Magnífica selección que se nos ofrece a manos del extraordinario sonido del Cello, potente y rompedor que hace tan maravillosa la música de Bach. Mil gracias por compartir tan deliciosos momentos. ¡FELICITACIONES!💕
This gives me goosebumps! Absolutely fantastic playing, I miss playing the cello 😢
Danke, Bach, your music comforts everything...
Lindo, que som maravilhoso de ouvir. Obrigada por vossa performance!
A tantos séculos Bach começou a nos encantar com sua música, e até hoje nos encanta...
Hauntingly beautiful! Well done in all productions aspects!
The chord on the end of the prelude is just so amazing
Beautiful, thank you. No one has captured the human soul in art like Bach. Passionate performance, truly amazed.
I have no words.. That was beautiful, thank you.
I feel blessed, I'm no expert but I can feel the dedication years, his play is so clear & deep..
even you can hear his breath and that tapping. Wow..
wow.
His breathing is part of the music! I'd like to be like him xD
Like the bellows of an organ, right?
I was just about to ask about it!. He seems to be controlling every breathe. Reminds me of "Daniel Licht - Photo Albums" (from Dexter series) where shifting chords on the acoustic guitar just adds to the music
Didn't like that at all... I'm not sure why a microphone was placed close enough to pick that up. You don't hear the breathing in a live performance....
Yeah his breathing technique is good, but it's odd that it's so noticeable in this recording. It really jumps out of the recording.
@@ihave3heads I find it sort of endearing. Like hearing Glenn Gould’s faint humming in his recordings of the Goldberg Variations.
Hermosa interpretación!!!! Saludos desde México!
Quelle justesse. Magnifique.
Sublime performance. Remarkable. I'm floored....
He is really great man: he fully concentrates himself on the music during the entire 30 minutes!!
素晴らしい音色。よ～～く音が出ています。
すばらしいですね！ How wonderful sounds the performer can play !!

I'm a music fan should i cant deny the fact that i grew up with these songs and knows the lyrics by heart
Brightly, and with beauty.
whenever the sound turns a little light, it immediately goes back to that sad deep resonating sound. it's so beautiful in its melancholy. i can almost imagine a desperate ending where the main character, devoid of all hope and stripped of everything and everyone he loves, bows his head in glorious defeat. this is beautiful. absolutely beautiful.
You should check out Blood+ then! They used this suite as one of its soundtracks and you pretty much told the story. One of the characters plays this most of the time with a deep story behind.
Suzuki you’re the best in the business!!! I’ve listen to this 1,000 times.
Such beautiful tones 😍
Great series!
Şimdiye dek dinlediğim en iyi Bach, çello yorumlarından biri. Teşekkürler
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Amazing, outstanding, wonderful... There are not enough words to describe Suzuki San's performance.
Bravo maestro. Bach would have loved that performance. Sublime.
loved the vibrato at 11:05 sublime!
This is like Bach making sure we understand that these pieces are only dances in name, and are actually about something much deeper under the surface.
Yes but note how he still keeps the underlying "dance pulse", which is so vital, yet so few who play this (and also the violin partitas) actually do it.
Most get lost in the "profoundness" of the pieces and just play everything way too slow and/or with endless rubato and the music becomes incomprehensible.
@@damshek yeah so true. That's why Patrick Bismuth is the best interpret of Bach's sonatas and partitas imho
There is an under tone of anger and disappointment in this piece! It makes me feel sad and angry yet somewhat aggressive ! One could loose control if listened to at a bad time !!
Just gives you goosebumps! His playing is so rich and vibrant. Really makes me smile!
Thank you!
a most beautiful performance !!
Majestic simplicity from Hidemi Suzuki. This Cello Suite is by far my favourite, even surpassing some of Bach's violin solo's. The plaintive, mournful theme is captivating.
Immediately got the urge to start playing cello hearing this
It is easy, there are seven position on each string fourth apart i think, glissando s, double fingers, thrills or something a like, and bow dexterity is as it is made of rubber plus cords broken or full cords all the time....
@@stickom Easy?? That's optimistic! No matter the ease or difficultly, you shouldn't let that be barrier between you and something wonderful!
I hope you went ahead.
@@stickom You mean it's easy to sum up all the names for this difficult techniques ..
