By: mimenorcomsetima. on 02 Dec 08, 19:51:22
Yo-yo Ma is still a great cellist. maybe yo-yo ma will reach that status when he gets more experient. Allow me to remind you, that Slava studies those pieces for 53 years before he felt ready to record them. That's shows a lot of respect for bach and fidelity towards the most emotional approach. Exuberant, as you say. I totally agree with that definition.

By: mimenorcomsetima. on 02 Dec 08, 19:50:33
I'm actually able to agree with you when you say they express different emotions, and rostropovich's is more exuberant... I still hold my opinion, however, that yo-yo ma's way out of Rostropovich's league.

By: gariadara. on 01 Dec 08, 22:38:59
"Yo-yo ma's version sounds flat, incomplete and passionless." That's an unfair assessment. Yo-yo Ma's version is most certainly not flat and passionless. IMO, he plays with a DIFFERENT KIND of passion. A darker, more melancholic tone. Whereas Rostropovich is more exuberant and illicits a different emotion, one that which you might identify more with. Don't mistaken difference in approach with difference in ability.

By: Sinfoniette. on 20 Nov 08, 06:41:33
Although Du Pre is a great cellist ranking near Rostropovich and Yo-Yo Ma, her best is the Elgar Concerto, which I think is more superior than any of the other's renditions. Du Pre basically dominated the Elgar, but came close to the others on other masterpieces.

By: CelloNerd314. on 12 Oct 08, 00:32:21
at 3:12 is where I really start to dislike the tempo...it feels as if it's in one, which makes the sense of alertness and precision crumble (in my opinion). It has nothing to do with getting all the notes - Slava could get them at any tempo - but the character of the music changes slightly.

He is fluent in 6 languages he studied Maths at the Oxford University (the highest grade).He graduated with an 98% from the Royal Academy of Music.He played the Rach3 at 12(the youngest ever)and Arthur Rubistein told "I thank God for keeping me alive so that I would be able to hear with my own ears Sgouros play. He is the best pianist I have ever heard, including myself".He then took off his gold watch and put it on Dimitris Sgouros' wrist as if passing on the torch.Two months later he was dead.

As a cellist, & having memorized the suites, I still would have the part before me: it actually gave me greater freedom, in my performance, to glance at it from time to time as Maestro Rostropovich does here. By the way, to any of you who would make remarks as to his age, he plays, here, with a power and vigor that men a half his age do not have. And effortlessly too: note his spiritual focus; he is in the process of realizing the sublime, which is the great humanity of Bach and of his playing.

Rostropovich is the best cellist of the past century. I hope we may yet see his likes again, or music will be so much the poorer(and certainly Yo-Yo Ma is one of the bearers of hope).

By: AbsoluteZ3R0. on 24 May 08, 15:34:49
Idk about that, Rostropovich seems to have a higher maximum volume than Oistrakh. I think that combined with the Stahlhammer endpin and Rostropovich's bow arm that Rostropovich's cello has been louder than any other string instrument in history
