Using this video of Mr. Anger's gorgeous playing as a basis of preparation for my own upcoming Principal Cello audition. What control, poise, timing, and tone! I loved seeing the bemused Maestro's expression on his face when he pretty much played along in "conducting" the celli lol. Absolute perfection from the Principal Cellist, for a musically treacherous solo, opening an opera when folks are just getting seated. His rendition should be viewed for any cello masterclass in orchestra excerpt preparation---bravi tutti!
POWERFUL !!!....Rich Sonorous Tone !!! The Ultimate Brahms !!! These Artist Have Reached Celestial Heights In The Performance of This Iconic Masterpiece !!
As a violist who also plays a lot of cello, I can say that this solo is treacherous and he nailed it with such grace. I sit here in humble silence. I am teaching this to my cello students with me on the first part and my talented students on the other yet not less rewarding parts. And don't forget the basses and timpani. Just gorgeous.
I can tell that you dont play an Instrument. That is not theimpressive part here. When you cant play from memory that basically means you have not practiced enough. When you practice a piece you will automatically memorize it. And at the point where you are comfortable performing the piece well you will know it from memory already. I can tell you basically every performer you ever watched knew the piece from memory even if they had there Sheet music with them on stage.
@@jessemoog5310sonatas aren’t typically played from by memory, and most performances that are very well done are not performed from memory either. therefore i wouldn’t say that someone who plays a sonata with music doesn’t know the piece well enough. It’s a collaborative decision
