Yes. Fantastic to watch his mastery of it, he knows it so well and can play so well, but I feel a little something was lost in the emotion of it. This piece is like ice-cream to be savoured, not gulped down. ;) oh well, he’s still brilliant and my favourite cellist of all time.
Oh my gosh, I have been watching his version from 9 years ago (or at least uploaded 9 years ago) over and over. What a treat to see it being done again and with a good camera. I think Mischa Maisky is the best Cello player ever, so much so that he has inspired me to start learning it on the Bass Guitar (tuned in fourths not fifths so it’s a challenge). Right, now I am off to listen!
@@fabioteixeirabarros inter-dimensional travel within the time traveling, layer upon layer, and on into infinity and back! we are only stuck in these bodies if we don't learn the subtle forms of awareness that don't require a body. Here's to more musically induces out of body experiences. Cheers!
Thank you for playing one of my favorite Bach pieces. I can never understand how someone can remember all of that complex music without reading from a sheet.
Anyone can, they just need experience, I have memorised them just from practising them non-stop to perfect them, you can get them by heart if you practise enough too.
Thank you so much. What a gift for you to us. For me, and sure many others, your old recordings of the cello suites are legend! It is Our reference how the pieces from Bach should supposed to sound. I am a working mother from 3 children and a few years ago I bought a cello and I started to play from scratch!! I did not grew up with music, and I’m not familiar with classical music at all. So to be able to can play the cello, I took a loaning by the bank to pay one, and I quit smoking for it. Despite my hard working life and my children I make it as a priority to practice. It is food for my soul. Now I have a RU-vid channel and I attacked for the first time to play the Menuet I. And then you can see how difficult playing the cello is. How I struggle. I cannot even play in tune! Mischa Maisky is really a Master. I like him the most. His (almost) excessive vibratos and his strong attack on the strings. And I find him still the most handsome! And still so beautiful playing these suites. I wish one day I could see him playing in real life. Who knows... Never give up your dreams like I did starting this cello adventure. (And... I still do not smoke).
Love it overall. Maisky's technique is amazing; great dynamics and vibrato. While the rapidity of his "Courante" is impressive, it feels rushed to me to the point that one can't savor Bach's genius in harmonic progression. So thoughtful to share this gift with us during the pandemic!
I’ve always preferred courante at a slower tempo even tho it is intended to be moderately fast or fast idk it just lets me really listen as the piece is not that long
Mischa Maisky Bach Celo prelude first record is my favorite music of all time. I listen it so much during all my life and willl listen it lot more again. He is a master in his art. Merci Monsieur Maisky pour toutes ces fabuleuses raisonances que votre musique ont crées dans ma vie. But if I have to confess, this Confinment version is too speed to me, it like Yo-yo-ma version, it doesn't let us breath and it's a pitty. As a Master, find the truth when reaching the speedest way to play a music you have to go back at the emotional speed when the music speak to people's heart and mind. And it's why ,I think , your first shot was so perfect even if it's not as speed as the masters of the art. Youre the real master of this song to my heart and for ever. Thank you a billion time M. Maisky
I fully agree with you, for me prelude isbthe best. And this version is too fast. I have been listening old version of Mischa Maisky that was recorded in 1990. Have you listened?
What a gift. Had to interrupt my practicing to absorb such brilliance. Please Mischa add #2 to your so soulful version live from Japan. Thank you from the heart, mind and soul
Captivating, almost makes me wish I played the cello instead of the violin, it has a deeper voice which can really carry emotion, of course the violin can do the same, it's just so different too
Maestro!!! What a gift.....absolutely sublime!. Thank you for sharing Bach with us from the intimacy of your lovely home. It is a privilege to be able to join you.
He seems to be playing this version faster and a bit looser. I don't mean it in a bad way, just that he's playing freely for his enjoyment and not for an audience.
muchas gracias Maisky, musicalidad excelente. JSBach nos otorgó muchas opciones en la matemática musical. no tan solo son números, es emoción. y Maisky lo sabe. gracias.
I really want to write him a letter 😭 such a cutie and a beautiful musician! Not a real fan of this sort of music but some of them just hit me in the heart and make me feel like closing my eyes and waltzing round the room feeling every note. He needs to know that this 20yr woman from Newport in South Wales appreciates his work so much ❤️ please give my your email 😂😭😪❤️
Looking forward to seeing a current edition of the Bach cello suites to go with the one up on RU-vid he did a while ago. (ru-vid.com/group/PLA70D07FB6C624D3A)
