Harvey Shapiro in his 90's teaching master classes in Germany. Shapiro taught me at at Juilliard where he spent some 30 years teaching over a thousand students. Legally blind here and 3 types of arthritis in his fingers. The audio is weak. Sorry about that ! Don Larson

How is it possible to play that well at that age with so many problems? Amazing. And such a passionate, invloved character.

His form at the cello was so like Casals-absolutely no tension in the upper body at all-and his recommendations to raise the elbow and play lighter, without ever digging, are very interesting. His right elbow angle hits a sweet spot-in a private lesson I had with him he criticized Starker’s for being too high to create the sound he was after-where both sound and fluency combine. His Boccherini A Major snippet mirrors Starker’s to a remarkable extent, though-pretty much the same angle height-so it seems he wasn’t doctrinaire; he moved anywhere he had to go, depending on the situation. Thanks for posting this-what a gift to us all!

Dear Don, Thank you so much for posting these videos. I studied with Harvey in the 90's at Juilliard. This brings back so many memories. Having these makes me realize that Harvey is still with us and is still teaching us after all these years. Is there any way you could possibly fix the sound issue for the remainder of the videos where the sound cuts off? It would be invaluable to be able to hear the whole class.

You can hear his influence on his students! Shapiro was one of the great teachers

Amazing. Thanks so much

Don, thanks very much for posting this marvelous video (or video set). It was (they were) originally posted on another site and then for some reason removed. Rostropovich once said that Shapiro was the greatest teacher in the world. This is one of many confirmations of it.

@axelsohn1454 3 года назад

Don - from 18:06 through to the end there is no sound. Could you upload this portion again?

@DonLarsoncellist 3 года назад

Sorry about the sound going out. The recording I have does work all the way through the masterclass. I will try again next week. I teach a lot and haven't had the time to figure out what the problem is. Shapiro was very private and there are almost no videos of him playing let alone teaching. So, these videos mean a great deal to me and I am happy to share them of course. All the best, Don

@DonLarsoncellist 3 года назад

I ran into 3 videos on a web site and I couldn't play them or download them. Finally found a way and then had to convert the videos to another format which wasn't so easy. But I heard after I left Juilliard he was charging $600 an hour. I thought he was worth it. Don

Que personaje ! Es hermoso en si

@peterko8423 3 года назад

9:31 that sequence of shifts was seriously one of the most exquisite things I've ever seen. I had to literally pause the video there and take a moment to collect myself .. also I'd like to echo the comment about the sound cutting out in the latter half .. would love to be able to hear the rest!!

@DonLarsoncellist 3 года назад

I will work on getting the audio working for the whole video. I have another video I have not uploaded which is another amazing video of his cigar smoking while talking and playing the cello all at the same time. There are so many stories about Harvey as his colorful language which nowadays would result in being fired. I will try to get the next video up next week latest. Thank you for your comment about the shifting!!

@axelsohn1454 Год назад

Not just the shifting per se but the extraordinary nuance and shape of the line to produce such a marvelous narrative experience. Shapiro was a superb artist who, as a person was always grounded, and as a teacher extraordinarily kind and committed.

@IvanLuza 3 года назад

Is it just me or did he mention Z. Nelsova a couple of times? Lol

@IvanLuza 3 года назад

I’m guessing they taught together?

@allisoneldredge.cellist 3 года назад

Hi, Ivan! Zara Nelsova and Mr. Shapiro were both teaching at school at the same time and were friends. When together, they had a wonderful rapport and mutual respect for each other…though they had very different approaches.

@batcello Год назад

One of my favorite Shapiro moments was playing a jury Once when Zara wasn’t there. Before I played, Harvey said “Zara’s not here so you don’t have to play so damn loud!” They were both pretty hilarious individually and together!

@stevenj9970 3 года назад

Don, what is the reason for the clothes under the fingerboard?

@DonLarsoncellist 3 года назад

He had A Groffriller cello worth at least a couple million and he used cotton cloths to keep it clean. You can see he smoked one Cuban cigar after another and ashes would land on the varnish. He is not the only cellist to practice with a cotton cloth under the tailpiece or fingerboard. Don

@stevenj9970 3 года назад

@@DonLarsoncellist Good explanation! What an amazing cellist he was. What was with all of the great Cellist who played Goffriller cellos and smoked, lol. Shapiro Casals and my late teacher Frank Miller.
