10 Most Beautiful Classical Cello Pieces 

00:06 Beethoven, Cello Sonata no 3, 3rd Movement 00:48 Debussy, Sonata for Cello and Piano, Prologue 1:21 Chopin, Cello Sonata, Largo 1:55 Bruch, Kol Nidrei 2:34 Grieg, Cello Sonata, 1st movement 3:15 Tchaikovsky/Variations on a Rococo Theme 4:01 Brahms, Cello Sonata no 1,1st Movement 4:36 Saint-Säens, The Swan 5:22 Bach, Cello Suite no.1 Prelude 6:05 Schubert, Sonata for Arpeggione and Piano

A Piano and Cello duet is one of the best in my opinion. They compliment each other very nicely, and Cellos produce a very rich sound.

How my friends see a cello.... '' Woah how big is that Violin omg''

Even I am not a classic music fan but Cello is my favorite classical music instrument. So beautiful and tender.

Bach Cello Suit No.1 Prelude has to be the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever listened to

Dang! the cello sounds more beautiful than a violin, simply beautiful!

I have been playing the cello since I was 5 and I play it like a professional now.

Me as a cellist, I think watching the greats do their thing is the best thing in the world

Thank goodness for people like you. 5:22 has been violently stuck in my head all day at work and I was going crazy over it, decided to google "beautiful Cello sequence" and surely enough it was included here - and for that I shall thank you.

Thank God a clear video with classical music for cello that's not just *BACH CELLO SUITE NO.1* or a sleep/study bad mix

This is great! I am taking cello lessons at my school, I brought my cello home today. I can hardly play a note at the moment, I'm really excited to get to learn the ways of this gorgeous instrument. x

Thank you for sharing this beautiful video and the awesome music excellent performance so beautiful footage played my dear friend Protect yourself and keep safe from this Corona virus outbreak Keep safe have a peaceful Sunday stay at home and stay safe everyone. Much Love from Huggie xoxo

I personally love Bach Cello Suite No.1 Prelude. Such a beautiful piece.

I love Dvorak’s and Elgar’s concertos as well. I just started learning cello after having a background in percussion, and I am enjoying it so far! Can’t wait to learn some of these melodies in the future ☺️

Im so glad that Brahms Cello Sonata made the list! One of my favorite pieces of classical music, and I feel that It is not appreciated enough.

The swan was absolutely gorgeous 😍😍

Great video! I struggled a lot with Kol Nidrei, a very difficult piece! I worked on a for one year and when you’re a cello student that’s quite a lot I can also recommend you the two cello sonatas of Myaskovsky, very deep pieces

Très beau choix, par de magnifiques interpètes.

아름다운 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎻🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤

I wish they allowed themselves to smile more, the music is beautiful

Beautiful Kim.............................. They are all great but I have always loved Jacqueline du Pré... sad her story.... But you made excellent choices! I am still listening as I write.... One of my brothers plays the cello but not at such a high level. He concentrated more on building and repairing organs all over the world. Truly amazing musicians on these videos.... thanks for sharing such beauty with us......................... And what an amount of viewings you have and likes.... Great that you bother with small channels like my own... a lot of people wouldn't! When I had a much bigger channel than I have now I also interacted with everybody but well, I had a fraction of your subscribers, so it was easier, I think almost 2.1K. Swan Lake has to be my favourite.... I used to play the oboe and played it! The Bach suite is amazing too!

Just subscribed! Thanks for bringing all these amazing musicians to my attention.❤

Me encantó todos los cortes como apasionado de la música… Gracias por compartir..ademas el chelo como que tiene alma propia y profundamente sentimental..melancólica.

Cello is my favorite instrument, I love this sound, especially the combination of cello and oboe:)

Elegy faure is def my top pick. Sooooo beautiful

Personally, I love the swan. It really gets me relaxed. As well as no.1 Predule. What a beautiful piece. Not to mention Schubert 1st movement (sonata for arpeggione and piano) ❤❤❤❤ Although these ate absolutely beautiful pieces, my favourite will always remain Adagio (Albinoni)

So beautiful.

Wow these people are so tiny! They make those violins look huge!

they’re so good gosh i picked up flute cos it was so pretty and the sound was really nice (melissaflutes) and maybe now i wanna learn the cello. maybe.

i love the cello with such a deep passion. only my 2nd year :)

Beautiful!

This list is quite good but in my personal opinion the most beautiful cello piece of all is Nikolai Myaskovsky's cello concerto in C minor interpreted by Mtislav Rostropovich and the Philarmonia Orchestra conducted by Sir Malcolm Sargent, London 1956. While there are many beautiful works for the cello, this piece, to me, is unfathomably underappreciated and underplayed. I seldom even hear the composer's name be mentioned amognst cellists and music lovers, yet his works are some of the most magnificient of the romantic era. This concerto to me is the pinnacle of Soviet romanticism, the idea of sacrificing yourself for the very music you convey, so much emotion, so much triumph, so much intensity, eroticism, power and passion. I wish it would be noticed more, as it is deserving of so much more recognition than it receives.

YES I KNEW BRAHMS SONATA WAS THERE! I'm going to play this song in a junior cello competition this fall. It's one of my favourite cello pieces!

You like cello music This is a great video It’s almost all my favorite music Great Day Greetings

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. Perfect mix of feelings. (sorry for my Colombian English)

I am in awe.

Dang I love Tchaikovsky, it’s just so magical

I'm sad that Concerto in A minor op33, Fantasiestucke op73 3rd movement, and some others which in my preference are the best. But you know, there are no right or wrong when it comes to music. Thanks for bringing me all these lovely pieces!! :D

Good selection

So talented

I’m going into 9th grade so a freshman and I’ve played cello since 6th ima little nervous tho

beautiful choice...was waiting for prelude to be number 1

all of them are very beautiful pieces. From my humble ignorance, Chopin' s is far one of the most amazing pieces ever writen 1:21

Kol nidrei , that solo means a lot to me. It’s such an emotional piece and really fun to play.

I personally think Elgar cello concerto is the best one.

Lovely,

The reason i clicked on this video 5:22

Hello.. can you please tell us what piece was used in Tayo the Little Bus "The Cello's Owner" during their concert? Thank you

maisky and argerich playing together is insane

Cool

Delightful.

Great list! Though you could have listed excerpts from just the Bach suites and it would have been just as perfect. :-)

at 60+ I'm finally developing an ear for this beautiful instrument. Better late than never, I guess :-)

It's an old video, but the cello performance is really great.🙂

This is what makes me miss playing cello

i play the cello this is my first year grade 5 in intermeidet it is so fun and cool i hope to continue throught out my school time!

I love it ❤️ from 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Thankyou

1:55 this guy is killing it!

Весь Бах, второй концерт Сен-Санса, фонтазия Давыдова (и некоторые его пьески) могли бы встать рядом с Арпеджиони, на мой взгляд.

I think what I missing is the cello concerto by Edward Elgar... I love this piece!

Oh dear, there’s so much more to classical music than that from the romantic period, even when it comes to cello music - and while your only piece from another period is Bach‘s 1st suite, Maisky‘s playing puts it right back into that category...

#1 is prelude from j. s. bach 5:22

I play the cello and i feel underpopulated but this makes me feel happy

The swans the best

I feel like a god on my cello

one day i’ll play all these pieces

Why did you feel you had to add the piano, etc? The song of the cello, is a masterpiece in itself!!!!!

I am missing . Elgar - cello concerto . FAURE - Elegie . Dvorak - cello concerto . Peteris Vasks - Castello interior . Haydn - cello concertos . Like the selection though. And have to get to know some of them...

I just thought to see what people see in this and oh my damn I just got goosebumps I almost cried for some reason this is fucking sick this is music

what is the one at 4.36?

Omg the man from number six is the man who played Bach Cello No.1 in G (but older)

I remember when I didn't believe my teacher when he spoke about thumb position and when he showed me and I said I don't believe him and I told him it's made up ☹️☹️😅

If I´m watching cello favourits, I don´t like to look on piano-hands so long time :-) , but...is Mischa Maisky holding his bow like 5 cm more up the frog ?

Antiguamente estudiaba violin, y es un instrumento que me gusta, pero creo yo que en el pasado mi amor por el era mayor. Actualmente estudio violochelo, y ocurrio algo que no se como explicarlo, mas que decir que este instrumento me atrapó. No se si es el encanto de su sonido, o es que se parece a la voz humana. Solo se que me paso algo que era impensable para mi, y es que un instrumento me gustara mas que el violin.

The reason I joined orchestra

You have to check out Hauser and 2Cellos

Thanks for all

Canon in D :)

no concertos?

6:08 I didn’t know Kevin spacey could play the cello

Ooh

I know how to play the cello i started when I was 10 now am 11 and am in the top best cello group in my school

Is Kol Nidrei a classic era piece?

2....is the one.....

ur beautiful ✨☁️💫⚡️🌙 ✰

7. Kol Nidrei, is the opening prayer for Yom Kippur. The holiest day of the year for Jewish people.

Où est le concerto de Dvorak ???

I WANNA PLAY THE CELLO NOW

Rachmaninov Cello Sonata in g minor op. 19 is worth mentioning

5:22 I asked my gf that played cello for years what’s the song that goes LA la la la. LA la la la la la LA la la la la la la

i know this isnt classical but schindler's list is made for cello

Since this video it's has been made for the angloparlant people,my sincere apology for my english and for the lack of seriousnes of this comment(gossip?) than the classical Musique represents to me. But when I see MIsha I'm always worry if h'es going to get "sluck"(is this correct?) his long hair in the cello.That's keeps me alert all the time!!!!!!!!!!!! If someday I 'm lucky enough to see his performance alive,I would carry a pair of scissors!!!!!!!!!!He's Great! but I prefer Yoyo- Ma. Have you ever heard Carlos Prieto?

nr 7 sounded someone coming back from the dead

Why no elgar? :(

Its a shame that the Cello concerto in E minor from Elgar isn’t included in the lisy

5:22 "I am Jose Mourinho"

dat thumb position tho

Alles gute künstler

Where is Hauser?
