Every note is golden. His intellect is unerring as are his fingers and bow. There is a feeling of great importance as he plays this sublime melody from his heart to ours, thanks to God.
What a wonderful musician. I know of no Cellist who even comes close to the artistry of using the fourth finger and or thumb of the left-hand all over the Cello as this artist did. Truly amazing
The extensions he uses are just insane. His left hand is simply unique. And apparently it was physically "weak", so he had to practice many hours every day through his entire life to keep it in shape...
I love his use of the bow. So much bow expression. Random vibration. I would make more style and ornamentation out of the vibrato and of course, now, play the trills faster, from the top. But it is a master class in itself to see and hear him play, Thank you Daniel, that you practiced every day until you died! And thank you, Steven Isserlis for having a tomb placed on his grave!
Of course he is one of the historical great artists of the cello. I look forward to enjoying all of his recently available videos and being inspired by them in every way.
Shafran has been my favorite cellist for decades... (we once drove 9 hours to hear him play in person...) However - he's not "conducting" in this video... (or any other...) I wish people would reflect a bit on what actually constitutes "conducting"...

The original composition was the Air (Aria) movement from J. S. Bach’s Suite No. 3 in D major, BWV 1068. The beauty of the movement is so compelling that it has been transcribed many times for different solo instruments with accompaniment.

"'I' would make", etc.
You can see rare video of Shafran!) He plays Tarantella Popper, Hungarian dance by Brahms and many other!!!

@@nrosen8794 R. Rosen: YOURS is one of the absolute best recordings of the Bach suites and my "go to" recording for decades.

Is this the original arrangement from bach?
