Really gorgeous playing. The video gives us an idea of what Cassadò was like as an elegant (and apparently relaxed) performer. It's a shame that the audio and the video are slightly out of sync--but hey, it's still a lot better than nothing!
This is so extraordinary....a tantalising insight into the craft of one of the greatest musicians of the century. These must be more footage...somewhere....please..!?
Cassado' did lots of experimenting with cello set-up. This is his tailpiece that incorporated springs to reduce/adjust the tension. I have an LP album cover (I think Ravel Trio with Menuhin and Kentner) that has a better photo.
Since this post doesn't tell us what music is being performed here, I will tell you now: it's the first movement of Boccherini's Sonata in A Major.
Thank you! I never would have guessed Boccherini!
The tone … the trill… amazing cellist Gaspar Cassado!!
Amazing playing altogether, but those trills... absolutely incredible!
Quelle classe, quelle élégance ! Un régal ...
Such classy musicianship
Simply amazing

Amazing!
Young players today, take note the LACK of pained facial expressions and thrashing around while playing...
supermagnifico
Musica!!!
you are right
What's that thing on his bow?
a piece of cork
Cassadó's bow has a piece of cork attached to the side of the frog where the fingers fall, so that his hand is more open and his fingers less curved.
Brillante!
That's a very interesting tailpiece, as well. Can someone explain what type of model it is? Thank you
has anyone got any idea when year this was filmed?
