Lynn Harrell - Maria Theresia von Paradis - Sicilienne 

Thanks guys, I needed a good cry... When Lynn died so did 15% of cellistic colors with him...R.I.P.

Maria Theresia became blind at age two. So talented that Mozart met with her when she was fifteen and wrote a piano concerto for her. Her memory capacity puzzled the science.

May he Rest In Peace.

Rest In Peace to a true legend ❤️

I don’t know music as these other commenters do, but this is so beautiful. I love the cello and am thinking serious about learning it or the violin. Can’t decide which first, but I want to play all the things!

This is such a super simple piece, I'm just learning the piano part now. You can learn this piece and learn to play it with a cellist in one afternoon. But to do it justice like these two - that's a whole other matter. So elegant! So And I'm impressed at how softly Victor Asuncion is able to accompany with the lid of the piano fully open!

It is a glissando actually, deliberately and very well executed.

i’m performing this piece! i love this vid as an example

Wow. He makes me feel so pathetic trying to play this piece when he will always be there to make it sound ten times more beautiful.

This is a wonderful interpretation

I come no more to make you laugh: things now, That bear a weighty and a serious brow, Sad, high, and working, full of state and woe, Such noble scenes as draw the eye to flow, We now present.

Accompaniment is feeling the feels

what a great cellist R.I.P

Beautiful ....RIP Matster....

Im trying to play this right now... thank you for this video it is a great example! :D

Great Music! BRAVO

Beautiful. This is going on my list of what to play next. Thanks.

Wow 😮 Lynn is good🎄🕎🦃🎉🎊

What a beautiful piece!

Bravo!

So nice...

Lynn it is very good :3

WHAOU!!!!!!!!!!!🤯🤯😲😲

FYI This is just about the tempo employed by most violinists who have recorded this piece.....

So much passionate

This is a nice performance by cello. I've been loving this Siciliano of Paradis as same as Faure or Respighi. By the way I wonder who the cellist is?　By any chance, Was he a chief cellist who belonged to the Cleveland Orchestra of George Szell at around 1970? If so, I am thinking there existed a certain female cellist like Hollywood actress beside him. Because I've seen the record jacket of that Orchestra.

Note slightly flat at 1:31 which makes me feel a little bit better to know even Mr. Harrell whom I deeply admire is not perfect 100% of the time...I do agree that his speed is more than a little bit up tempo at least for me...the plaintiveness that I was expecting from this is missing from this performance in my view. I will be performing this on Sunday...(!!!)

Maria Theresia von Paradis did not compose this piece of music whose melody and harmony are clearly not from a person who was born in 1759 and died in 1824. It is well known that it is a fake created some time in the 20th Century by Samuel Douchkine (1891-1976) who claimed to have discovered it and who was inspired by a theme from the violin sonata (opus 10 no. 1) by Carl Maria von Weber. Of course this has nothing to do with the beautiful rendition of Lynn Harrell. Thank you for sharing

I play this piece on the clarinet

An artist. Taking risks in music at the *momentum*

This piece is really by the violinist Samuel Dushkin (1891-1976). Von Paradis was a contemporary of Mozart and her music sounds nothing like this.

I am here because of a movie called Mesmer

probably NOT by Paradis (seems to be an hoax)

what did he say in the beginning? lol

Beautiful tone, superb legato, a perfectly judged tempo...but why so many glissandi?

I am learning this song right not and am pathetic compared to this

His timing seems to be a bit off. Sheku-Kanneh Mason's version is much cleaner and pleasing on the ear in my opinion.

This is beautiful, but it doesn't sound remotely like something written by a person born in 1759, only three years after Mozart. It seems to belong to a much later age.
