- čas přidán 10. 09. 2024
- Hello Cellists,
Yom Kippur, the day of atonement for Jewish people, is coming up on the evening of September 18th. I thought now would be a good time to talk about Max Bruch's Kol Nidrei, which is based on the poignant prayer at the beginning of the service. I’ll explain the significance of the prayer and walk you through the piece which is introspective at first, but becomes more outwardly expressive as it progresses.
Please let me know if you have any comments and/or questions, I would love to hear from you. Thank you for watching!!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expert explanation of this marvelous piece of music.
Dear Inbal, I first heard of this piece from an old recording played by Pablo Casals more than 60 years ago. At the time I just loved the piece and never got to know the cultural background until much later. Your explanation of the Jewish religious background and how it was expressed throughout the piece and by various techniques has greatly increased my appreciation of the piece. I can only imagine how Jacquelin due Pre would have loved to discuss the interpretation and playing of this piece with you. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your video. This is certainly the most complete "musings" on a piece I have ever played. Along with the commentary, the included music with fingering was very helpful. Matter of fact this is probably as helpful as taking a lesson with my teacher who also went to Julliard, Yale and studied with Perisot (and who is also Jewish). Thank you again.
Phil Teague thank you for writing and watching. Who is your teacher? I might know him or her.

Phil Teague I don’t know her. Must have studied at Yale after me but I do know one of her teachers, Richard Hirschl, and I bought my cello from him. small world..
A very rich content in information. The historicity of the piece, fingering and expressiveness makes us grow a little more.
I've been working on this piece for some time now. Your demo and interpretive explanation has been more than helpful. With this, I hope to take the piece to the next level. Thank you!
I am so glad to hear that! Thanks for watching and for writing, David.
Would love to hear you in this piece with orchestra
Thank you so much ❤️ I really appreciate ☺️✨🕊️🌹🌿❤️
I am currently working on this piece. Thanks for these good explanations, i will certainly play it better now !
Inbal, You have provided such a wonderful explanation and demonstration of this beautiful composition. I have listened to your explanations several times, each time learning more of chord progressions, transitions and techniques including volume amplitude and vibratos. Thank you so much for sharing your insights and wonderful techniques.
You are Great!!! Thanks
P.S.From Violist 😃
Thank you Inbal sooooooo much for your help and advice with playing this beautiful piece .
I wish I could do something for you . I will be purchasing your music and hope to one day attend a concert in the future.
Everything you share is so brilliant explained with all the detail that is so difficult if not impossible without the funds to find a teacher at that level. David Finckel and Cello Bello are as you say a fantastic help too. Love them.
Hugs , gratitude and appreciation.
Great inspiration, thank you very much!
Thanks Inbal! Your lesson is very usefull for me in this moment that I am studying this beautiful piece! I had many problems on fingering some passages but now by seeing your video all this problems have gonne out!
Magda Mont thank you very much, I am so glad to hear that😊
Thank you very much for your explanation, I can imagine the characters like in the movie scene by scene
and their feeling on each scene, this really help on how to play very much.
I have always thought, ever since I was in high school in the early Sixties, that the big D major second theme in this piece is about as goyishe as it gets. Nonetheless, I do appreciate the beauty of Inbal Segev's playing in this video.
The "big D major theme" is indeed a different tune. Check out this page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kol_Nidrei_(Bruch)
Thank you so much for this!
It is really helpful and I love the kind of style and expression you put into this piece!!
Great class! 👍🙂
Todah raba Inbal Segev. I sang 6 Years with Synagogen Khoir in Zürikh.Sorry my ze is not working. I,m not a Jew. But this prayer who Max Brukh omposed, is the very best Song i sang. I just was 3 Weeks in the Hospital- It is so good to hear it. i keep the 7Laws Noah gaved to non Jews. NOAHIDE.
Hello and thanks for watching and writing. I am glad that you are back from the hospital and hope that you are well. I also love this song/ prayer. Inbal
Thank you so much for this. I realize you posted this four years ago but I just came across it recently. My teacher and I are just 'finishing off' Kol Nidre. I don't know if you look at comments but I wonder if you had thought about the second half (after the key change) a bit like moving from Erev Yom Kippur and Kol Nidre to the end of the Yom Kippur service and Ne'ilah? The theme introduced there is, to me like what I feel at the beginning of the Ne-ilah service. Introspective, but beginning to find a peace after the fast.
Then the turbulence that leads to that trill on the high D - that reminds me of how I feel about the prayer that says that or Rosh-ha-shanah, the book of life for the coming year has been written but on Yom Kippur it's sealed and again, this is Ne-ilah, - the gates are closing and we have only this short time to finish our repentance until Yom Kippur and the exhaustion of that long day of prayer and fasting is expressed in the recapitulation of the second theme, leading to the arpeggios and the finishing high A...which brings a feeling of peace.
What do you think?
נראה לי שאני מאוהב בך
Thanks so much for your videos wish I could afford to have you as my mentor I enjoyed your performance of the Elgar concerto a few years ago with the Delaware county symphony orchestra and your recordings of the Beethoven and Boccherini sonatas
Hi Leon,
I played with the Delaware county about 20 years ago! Time flies.
Thanks for writing. Inbal
