le petit garçon à l'écran c'est le fils de Maurice Gendron : *François-Éric Gendron* , l'acteur bien connu notamment pour "Avocats et Associés" diffusés sur France 2 il y a des années .., il est alors âgé de 7 ans ! cela doit être émouvant pour lui de se revoir à cet âge.
Un grand merci pour cette très jolie publication quel plaisir de revoir et d entendre ce merveilleux violoncelliste d autant que le montage vidéo est très créatif et tellement moderne pour l époque poétique aussi
I studied cello with Maurice Gendron at the Conservatoire in Paris in the early Seventies. His highly original approach to cello technique gave me some new ideas which continue to serve me well to this day.
@@gasparocelloman9852 Well, I'll try. He was a great one for treating the thumb as though it were just another finger: he frequently shifted onto the thumb from below, even from several positions below, while managing to preserve the continuity of the line, even in legato. He tended, in fact, to treat the thumb as though it were just another finger. He often took enormous amounts of bow, changing the direction from up-bow to down and back again very frequently, without sacrificing in the least the continuity of the legato line.
Exquisite musicianship, and impressive filmmaking. I don't play cello nor read, so grain of salt, but when dad died i got his CD of Bach's Cello Suites featuring the amazing prowess of Gendron. Can't see how that can be played better.
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful and inspiring film. I had the good fortune to attend several of his concerts, of knowing him personally and having extended talks with him. IMHO one of the very greatest (if not THE greatest) cellist of the 20th century.
Is he only pretending to play the cello at some parts, or did they somehow make it invisible?! Est-il seulement semblant de jouer du violoncelle à certaines parties, ou ont-elles fait en quelque sorte invisible?!
Katherine Yu Yes, he worked a lot with the good French composer and pianist Jean Français, giving several recitals together, in France and elsewhere. They also made several recordings together (see RU-vid)
