    As a violinist, I simply cannot ignore this piece. Dammit Elgar, your cello pieces sound so much nicer than the violin pieces

      Yes, thank you. I know it is a cello. I am a cellist. I am referring to the tone of her instrument. Not all instruments are capable of producing such a wonderful tone. Strings, wood, varnish, and weather impact the sound her instrument produces just as well as the acoustics of the room. With that I'll write once more, I love the sound of her instrument. :)

  • @hgababu
    @hgababu Před 9 lety +90

    Hi Meghan,
    First off, this is by far my favorite piece, hands down. Your tone is fantastic!
    One thing I did notice though is that your quarter slurred to eighth rhythm (just up to the first run) was very marked. Those notes are supposed to be very flowing and free, so don't worry about accenting each beat. I mean, the cello does determine the tempo.
    From someone exploring the beauty of Elgar's finest work to the next, I hope you don't take this as mean. My comments are solely suggestions. Your tone, however, was just purely amazing! Definitely the right sound for such an emotional piece. Keep up the amazing work!

    hah. I really enjoyed it. This concerto is a masterpiece and one of the most important pieces on cello's repertoire. I would like to say that it was so emotionally charged, so when we as listeners can find emotions, then we figure out that we have to do with clear art! The cellist have a great vibrato, witch really help to identify the beauty of cello. I would say that something went rong, in first ever explosion, in first theem. But this is normal. I don't know anything about the cellist, but I enjoyed the first movement of Sir Elgar's cello concerto! Weldon! Good performance!!
