Video

A shame that the main camera was on the PowerPoint, not on Robert so we could see his demonstrations clearly!

I started taking cello lessons at age of 66 without any prior music background. Now 4 years past and I still enjoy practicing cello every day. There were so many times I was so frustrated and wanting to give up. I am so glad that I still keep my learning of cello.

Pau no Pablo…. Porque no Paul entonces! Es Pau!

“Heroes do not look down at their feet as they kill the dragon. They might miss, they might spear their feet instead, Lully style” BAHAHA clever clever

What piece Is that you use in all videos at the begining?? Thanks!

He wants her to be on his level.

Love himself so much!! Such a peacock…. Shame

Cossmann kills left Hand, Warnung up is necessary.

This was extremely clear helpful and augments what my teacher has been saying in a different way, thank you!

Fabulous, thank you so much Michal and Cellobello for sharing such a wonderful chat💟

Thank you for a fabulous chat. I love your ideas.

Really helpful class. So clearly explained and full of useful practice ideas!

Wosrt masterclass ever

So helpful, Michal. Very clear and practical!

Thank you ❤

Invaluable, thank you

One purpose of a masterclass is to not only help the student in front of you, but to broadly present inights to an audience as well.

Holy crap. What a video

Love it

Wonderful video! There are so many balances to strike in this Suite: evocations of Flamenco guitar styles, the ancient dance genres dating back to Imperial Spain-and also the palpable influence of Maurice Ravel. Some of it, for example the flute taksim that opens the second movement, isn’t by Cassadó at all. Much of how the work appears on the page is a graphic approximation of the “actual” music-including Cassadó’s rendering of that taksim-clarifying that this Suite mustn’t be read as literally as we might read Webern. (I’m wondering if that’s indeed a misprint; it’s so Ravel!) Listening to how, for example, Vicente Gomez or Paco Peña render the same melismas is a game-changer from what meets the eye on paper. Thanks so much for such probing work!

why did he have to die man?? come backkkk, help me!

Bravo Terry! The best cello teacher of them all! ❤

this is maginificent the composition of this process

About all the negative comments about Isserlis way of teaching: 1. He is a Sagittarius 2. He is British and he has a very British humor 3. He is one of the greatest musicians of our time 4. He is a truly musician not only a cellist like many many others 5. I find the lesson very challenging and full of great valuable information 6. If I wasn’t prepared to the 200% I would never play for him since I know he is not only a cellist but a truly musician and he talks bout music in lessons so he is not the type of teacher for everyone

Thanks to Terry for sharing so much expertise and skill, and Tyler's demonstration really helped me grasp how music works. It was amazing. I’m glad I could help you overcome some music production challenges at this event🎉

Bravo Terry!

Fabulous! Thank you!

Thank you for uploading this.

PATHETIC AMATEUR.

Flat wrist. This concept is beaten to death. There are a number of ways to play the fingerboard with the wrong technique and maintain a flat wrist. So what

Thank you for the encouraging positive talk (we can apply it to guitar practice, as well!).

Been listening to Isserlis' recording on Spotify w forte piano. Probably the most beautiful recording there....

I remember you and Anna performing Song of the Birds in Korea

Interesting dialogue; Casals was a real mensch ❣️🎶💜

I understand the criticism around his teaching. However I think that his style is for the student to understand the piece, not just play it. As well as to improve on their mistakes, and to prevent mistakes or poor choices in the future, At least thats what I think.

You are the buda of the cello. Thank you

As someone who just picked up the cello as an adult, I had forgotten that racism and the issues that follow it bleed into every avenue of life. I'm annoyed by everything that is mentioned here. We can not escape it in any industry. It's so sickening and sad. Anway, she's amazing and I've just started playing the cello and it's so very hard - and absolutely lovely. I'm really enjoying it and I'm happy to see there are other black women playing the cello.

Liav you are a real Mensch! What a wringer Hans Jensen put you through. I see you took it in turn. What a great sport. And I hope it does help you.

Years ago I remember him as a new and fresh "star" in the mud world. He was an arrogant man then, too. He acted like the whole of a class or a performance to lesson was about him. It seems it has not abated.

A not very useful lesson for the student. The information given seems to serve more the purpose of enhancing the teacher´s knowledge and ego .... any experienced musician can analize the piece and get to these structural conclusions ... the dificulty is how to translate these into coherent sounds without constantly attacking the student. In this aspect this lesson doesn´t seem very useful for the student... the teacher also exagerates too much when imitating the student, which is wrong, rude, and leaves the student confused...

Wish I could have met you Paul. I was just a small kid living next door on Claude St. You probably knew my sister and brother and cousin Carmen. Use Garcias were luckly to have your parents as good neighbors. We are all proud of you and your accomplishments and of your students too.

great to hear your story, I'm an adult learning the cello for the first time at 45, took it up through the pandemic, it's opened up amazing opportunities to play in community orchestra's and groups , I can't recommend it enough if any other adult beginners are considering it.

I don't understand all the negative reactions, This is such generous teaching.

What an interesting man! :) thanks for posting this. Much love from Belgium🇧🇪

Way to go, Malcolm!!!🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾This is the BEST CelloChat I’ve heard on this channel as well as the most authentic conversation on jazz cello basics that I’ve encountered. Thank you!🙏🏾 Especially loved your Clifford Brown & Dolphin Street examples and ways to “listen” (and sing) the music. ❤ Thanks for encouraging us to get outside of reading, but really engaging & listening.
