The nicest best cello player in the world...
Fantastic cello player and a funny guy.
Such sound yet obvious advice that most people are oblivious to, which is why most will never achieve mastery.
The guitar lacks the majesty, the physicality, the sensuality, the richness, the projection, the grandeur… but yes it’s nice in its own little prissy way, I guess.
Does the rubato style that nearly all cellists use on this piece bother other people, or is it just me? The music in this piece doesn't seem to lend itself to that radical an interpretation. Is there any evidence that rubato was the performance practice during Bach's time? I'm pretty sure the score is not notated that way. I've heard cellists such as Casals imbueing the piece with this rhythmic interpretation. So it seems to have become standardized at this point. This seems to be an affect of the Romantic period, not the Baroque. I would like to hear one good cello player play this piece without the ridiculous rubato for once. Who else is with me? Yo-yo?
Completely agree.
Mais non.

This came out during the Baroque period and it was common practice to improvise. Regarding the score, baroque scores were never heavily notated, leaving interpretations up to the musicians, again via “improvisation”. The rubato helps bring out the counterpoint in Bach’s music and gives it more character. Bach was a passionate man and the rubato brings that out as well.
It's called phrasing bro. If you play the entire piece every 16th note the same it sounds more repetitive than this. If everyone played it without rubato as standard practi e you'd be here asking people to play it with rubato 😂😂😂
This Prelude sounds a lot nicer on guitar, although it was written for cello.
The guitar lacks the sensuality, the physicality, the majesty, the richness, the grandeur, the projection, the power, the gesture… but it is nice in its own little picky way, I suppose.
