I'm sick and tired of this click bait nonesense about the prices of bows and instruments. Why didn't you try a $200 and a $500 bow eh? After this its the player that makes the difference. Like saying that a $15000 cello sounds worse than a $100,000 one. Nonesense.

I was today years old when I found out cellos can have straps

I have a probably silly question !!! All the bowings you have used in this variety of pieces are natural for your experience or they are in your mind, so many times have you played them ???

Masters by a Master !!!🌷👏🏿🎻🎶🙏🏿😘🌷

I'm new to cello and have doing this intuitively. I thought I was just a really slow learner. I'm glad to hear I'm on the right track. 😊

Golden tip at the end to apply to any practice with. What a helpful video. I wish I had these when my son went through feuillard because I think he missed so much of the value of the book. I may have him do the book again with this series. Such great teaching here!!!!!

Loved them all! So many more could have made the list, including Vaughan Williams’ gorgeous Six Studies in English Folk Song, dedicated to the British female cellist May Mukle. We don’t have a recording of Mukle playing the studies, but we do have a priceless 1915 recording of her playing Alice Verne Bredt’s Lullaby (a hidden gem): m.czcams.com/video/a8z0B1IXTgc/video.html&pp=ygUZTHVsbGFieSBhbGljZSB2ZXJuZSBicmVkdA%3D%3D

I don't wanna play cello any morrre😅😅

Thank you so much ☺️

Isn’t the Prokofiev Sinfonia-Concertante finale higher?

Beautiful ❤

Wow, what a treasure this series is! Thank you for this gift!!!!

Not tryna sound rude, but did you pre-record the second version? (I think b flat, i think im also tone deaf) because the fingers on the fretless board didnt match up...

*UNIQUE* ✨🌿🎶🔥✨

Élégie de Fauré

Fantastic playing. Currently really into Don Quixote last variation... Brings me to tears!

is that a new cello

ahh...finally... Sorry Ilia ...this really isn't your best performance and presentation...but I still admire you

10 most beutiful pieces,....please check our Fauré before you say that...

terrible cello music....sorry...

Ilia, have you tried this one? czcams.com/video/g5nfUnFJInY/video.html

I really love this!! Thanks ☺️

Just beautiful.

Rests are for losers!

Personally, I wish you played Sicillienne by Maria Paradis, its a stunning piece, but I enjoyed the Rachmaninov the most.

Mendelssohn for it historic value, Le Cygne for its sublime difficulty, Bach II because it makes me want to cry, Vocalise for its harmonic beauty….. Might I suggest Ravel,s Kaddish?

Would love to hear your take on beautiful melodies from cello sonatas--have been working on Dohnanyi's sonata, first movement has some very beautiful melodies!

Song of the birds,the catalan song played by Pablo Casals.

Thank you for showing us these 8 "petitesses" with a great sound and the Bach. Now I can study some of your fingerrings and bowings. I would like some Dvorak Soli "going home "aus der Neuen Welt" f.e. Best wishes

Song?

Impromptu is better on piano

Meditation de Thais! 😍😍😍

Bach Prelude :)

Allemande and sarabande from sixth suite of Bach.

Which piece did you enjoy the most?

One can say that... he popped off

I really like how you played the part at 26:26 I just realized how pretty the melody is there

That fingerboard is really giving more than it has to give

0:24 The fingers are beyond the finger board already 😱

What was the first piece played in c-minor? 🤔

This is why I will NEVER spend too much on a bow. As a professional cellist, I could hardly hear any discernible difference between these three bows. Speaks, perhaps, to your immense abilities! ;-) Myself, I've used a $600 carbon fibre bow for 11 years now, and never felt like I missed out on anything.

I've been taking lessons for more than 4 years and I'm at level 3.

For me, I hear keys as colors and feel them as moods. For example, F major is green and like a forest or living things. It’s relative minor, D minor, sounds like death and grief to me. C major feels open and somewhat happy like a light red but and A minor feels sad but not depressing. Minor feels like a deep dark blood red and feels violent and harsh. G major is navy blue like a hug from a friend. E minor is loneliness and kind of a teal color but very dark. Eb major is purple and royal, commanding, moral. I could go on and on. D major is yellow and sunshine happy.

Key-character relations have been described by several musicians and composers over the centuries, and each one says something different. The keys, as we tune our instruments nowadays (440~442+), is higher than it used to be, so.... Is the Cmaj Haydn example also valid for Bmaj, as it would sound with gut strings? Is Gbmaj also warm?

Well, yiiou lived to tell about it...great piece and performance, cheers

I dont understand this video... I mean,like most of the teachers,they tell you about this from the first begining of learning the scales,snd after a while,you on your own ,you see the difference!!! I dont understand many videos of people who play cello,i really dont understand the meaning all of this...!!!! Keep playing...!!! I dont understand....

unbelievable

Maravilloso❤

What fun you guys are having. I am jealous that at this point in my life I can't enjoy this type of competition except vicarious. Thanks for this joyous journey. Play on!

❤
