  • Nick Davis Productions' documentary follows Inbal Segev’s journey recording Bach's six solo Cello Suites, widely-regarded as the quintessential body of work for the classical cello - from readying her cello at an upstate New York luthier, through an emotional and exhausting period of study and rehearsal, and finally into the recording studio.
    Inbal recorded the Cello Suites over a period of six months at the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York City, working with Grammy-winning producer Da-Hong Seetoo. Since its release on Vox Classics in September, The New York Times has called Inbal's performance "deft and thoughtful." The Buffalo News writes, "Her performances are warm, strong and fluid."

    What a delight to have such a transparent snippet into the world of world class cello. Thank you for sharing your journey as it also inspires me along my pedestrian cello path!

    Prelude to Cello Suite No. 1 is one of my favorite pieces of music and I've yet to find a rendition I like more than your Inbal. To my ear, too many performers seem to rush the piece. Your rendition feels more emotive and soulful. I've heard a lot of performers tackle this piece and I honestly can't imagine any other rendition moving me as much as yours has.

    Thank you very much Inbal for allowing us this honest peek into your life. It was incredibly genuine and heartfelt, and I, and i'm sure many others, really appreciate it. You're incredibly talented, and I respect the fucking shit out of you for picking yourself back up like you did. We all have vulnerable moments of growth like the one shown here, And I feel its extremely important to not hide them as you have here.
    Thank you and I hope you are well.

    Its a hard job to travel back 300 years in time, but i firmly believe that, If Bach should choose a cellist to play his suites, you would be his favorite cellist. Congratulations, Inbal, this video is a brave, sincere and beautiful view of you.

    Inbal is an excellent cellist. I really understand the tensions that affect one when faced with a do or die situation in the recording studio. Musicians need to feel free in body and mind to let the music just flow through the body and out through the instrument. A cluttered mind or tight body wrecks it. When I am playing badly I just stop, when I am playing well I want to go on for ever.

    To your husband, on the terrace: "Bach is hard, Man." I was so happy to hear you say that because if its hard for you, for the rest of us mere mortals the Suites are insurmountable. Especially for me, as I'm now 66 (the fingers have lost the dexterity of youth) and back to my instrument (7 yrs ago) after a hiatus of more than 30 years (career, marriage, children intervened). I enjoyed this documentary very much. Thank you.

      I started playing the cello at age 67 as a means of keeping my mind working after retiring from a 30 year career as a Registered Nurse. I am 69 now and am working on some of the Bach suites - to hear your input regarding these miraculous works is just a joy!
      You are astonishingly talented and humble and I thank you for sharing your video.

      @@protect_provide8031 Unfortunately, as I near 70 my hands have become arthritic. So I play much less now. Only 30 minutes at a time. I'm trying to convince my doctor to give me steroid injections. He needs more convincing. Thanks for getting in touch.

    I have been gratefully following and learning from you for several years now and just came across this documentary that traces your path to recording the suites. It brought me/us to a new level of understanding both of the music and your life. I appreciated the naked honesty that this video captured - the apprehension, joy, sorrow, not to mention the juggling of being a mother and a professional musician - all of it. Thank you for giving those of us who love the instrument as you do a small window into your journey.

    Your honest and true-to-yourself nature are what make you such a beautiful artist, always in constant evolution. Making decisions about performance style can be excruciatingly painful, as many styles are valid but not necessarily reflect what we should be doing at a given moment, I guess. I can only imagine such a journey, and I am so grateful that you shared yours with us! And the result was beautiful, your Bach Suites are still my favorite of all times! ❤👏🎶

    I’ve really only started cello when I turned 65. I decided to work on my brain and at the same time full fill a lifetime love for the Cello.
    I play and practice for the Cello. To make her happy by being in tune with good intentions. I hold her and keep her clean and happy.
    I try to keep clear of performing. I’ve done this my whole life in someway shape or form. It is between me and the Cello, and we get along very well.

    The sound post adjustment is actually quite crucial to the cellos ability to produce its intended sound and projection in all registers. Too tight is never good. I've had numerous clientele come in for sound post adjustments and their thrilled with the sometimes dramatic change. Always pleasing to them & me. StringDokter

    Hi Inbal, I am a south African cellist, can you please give some advice to us aspiring cellist on how prepare for competitions. Thanks

    • @Inbalsegevcello
      @Inbalsegevcello  6 лет назад +3

      Chris Njapha hi, preparing for competitions is no different than preparing for concerts, except that you have more repertoire to get ready at the same time. Be sure you dedicate enough time to every piece on a weekly rotation, so that every week you should be practicing each work in the repertoire at least once. Focusing more on each respective round’s rep as the date gets closer. Competitions are a great way to push ourselves to be the best we can, but one has to also realize that you can’t measure music the way you measure sports and so at a certain level winning or “loosing” is not a sure predictor for anything. Good luck and I hope this helps. I

      Arguably the finest cellist living today, although I'm not sure what her being born in Israel has to do with that, since she has lived in New York since she was sixteen, and is an American citizen.
