'Vy you not talented!?' has become something I have uttered under my breath to myself when I make silly errors since I first watched this lovely conversation.

Среднего положения крышки на рояле было бы достаточно для баланса.Возможно в зале слышимость другая.

Great piano playing but it is totally overwhelming the cello. I can't believe they didn't do a sound check before the performance. Or perhaps the recording mixer thought this was a piano sonata with cello accompaniment.

here from twoset!

one don´t "accompany" the cellist in this huge sonata - please ! you are equal musicians . The word is old-fashioned even in collaboration with singers.

Excelentes artistas. Parabéns

Piano eating cello for lunch. Maybe just a mic position skewing the recording?

Nothing is by chance follow heart and gut listen to self communication aka the subconscious MIND.thank you al the publeo,thanks you

Well expressed-and beautiful on many levels. Mr. Johnston, and his team, are a marvel.

Lol I just came from the video where Guy got ripped a new asshole by Steven in a masterclass.

Something strange happens I watch a virtuosic cellist play. It seems as though his instrument is a close friend of his. For me, playing would be a dream come true. But my finger muscles are too spastic for me to play any musical instrument.

How come first cello did not give him his cello?

Великолепно! Услада для ушей). Надеюсь когда-нибудь я смогу так же эмоции преобразить в музыку

No mics?

I saw Sheku Kanneh-Mason play this weekend and his A string snapped while he was playing Shoshtakovich too

Hey what was the intro music in this vid?? Ive heard it before but didn't know the name??

Wonderful!!💜🎻

BBC can you please put this on your documentary roster?

Your awesome your music is amazing

Really enjoyed this!thank you 😎

Superb discussion and revelations on your respective formations. december 22nd my birthday too !!!

Hermoso...

Beautiful. I would however like to have amplification applied to the piano. I found it to be somewhat subdued compared to the strings in this particular recording. I understand the volume levels in a certain environment can be challenging to balance but like a more forceful stronger piano sound applied for example at the 9 minutes time interval in this recording. Nicely done overall.

Beautiful playing

❤️

Steven Doane is such a sweet man! It’s amazing to see him completely adore Steven Isserlis

😊 thanks

Great interview!

Incredible stories in such a quaint ambience. Thanks to all for sharing & passing on these cello history!🎩

This is so fantastic!!

Fascinating!

Guy, this is SO wonderful. AMAZING!!! I only know of Steve Doane through his rep at Eastman. Steven Isserlis has been a constant source of inspiration, really, since the quarantine in early 2020. And so I had heard snippets of Steven talking about his early musical influences (Jane Cowan, really). But having this interview with he and Steve Doane as they reminisce about their formative experiences is utterly priceless. We hear how a musical life evolves even to the point where it became essential that Steven (w/sisters, no less!) be relocated to the country for a period of years something that is probably unthinkable in these times. Also, it appears that it was not at all fun and games with Jane Cowan and took a strong ego to deal with her uneven moods. But her phrases about the music coming first, knowing the score, and the bow as a living thing loom large as I listen to Isserlis play. Finally, thank you for elucidating a bit Steven's time at Oberlin w/Kapucinsky (sic) as I had always wondered how his time there either influenced his career. I look forward to following your journey as well as a performer and advocate, Guy. Thank you again for doing this walk down memory lane with the two 'Steves)!

As a student of Jane it was real fun to relive those times with the two Steves

I’m absolutely with Jane on the 80s Dutch Early Music “bulge” phrasing trend, which thankfully seems to have fallen out of fashion.

Thank you so much for this, Guy ❤

Oh how marvellous! If only this went on for hours. Thanks for posting.

wonderful!! congratulations!!

Guess that string was very old and rusty. I never have that issue because I always let my strings stretch, and use pencil graphite to lubricate the nut and bridge. My Cello is a 5 String Acoustic-Electric Cello, I use D'Addario Helicore Cello Strings (4/4 Size Medium Tension plus a Matching High E String) which have a Stranded Steel Core to make Bowing on the Cello easier. I replaced the friction pegs with mechanical ones that also allowed me to get rid of those fine tuners from the tailpiece, so that tuning is easier and the top will vibrate more freely. They're Guitar Style Tuners designed for Cello which point away from the headstock so that means they'll point over your shoulder when the Cello is in playing position.

My bassoon stopped working in the middle of a concert during a solo sort of moment with another instrument in Beethoven’s Piano Concerto in C-Major. I fixed it on the spot in like 5 seconds (which felt an eternity). So I understand the pain when there is a malfunction. You just got to do your best and move on. Bravo! He sounded absolutely great!

Beautiful

This is a wonderful performance.

bravo! great playing

Wonderful!
