Frans Helmerson's metaphors are really spot on! Like the one filling a glass of water and continuing the pour after it's filled up. Great way to make other people understand how you think.
Frans Helmerson is one of the best cellists in Sweden, and europe, and I think in the whole world as well. When you hear him play, you don´t care about the technique, you just here the music! That´s the best with him!
This is great teaching! It is a mutual exploration of the music and beutifully filmed. Frans Helmerson offers his insights so gently without undermining the performer. I'd love to see more like this!
We do not have a double bass masterclass in the catalogue, although we are gradually working our way around all the sections of the orchestra. If you want to suggest a maestro for a double bass masterclass, do let us know.
Thanks for your comment. We've now got a great page on Facebook. Just enter Masterclass Media Foundation and you'll find it with reviews and plenty of other information.
@Cheskkay You are so right he's a wonderful teacher. Watch out for another masterclass DVD with Helmerson working on Schubert's Arpeggione Sonata. It will be out at the end of June and is just as good as the Dvorak.

Great masterclass. Wonderful teacher and student. But if I was that piano player... haha, I think I'd go crazy starting and stopping every few seconds! When I play piano, I'm just happy when I don't hit a wrong note! And not every great musician is gay... even if they were, who cares?
The student sounds indeed great at the beginning of the lesson, and is getting spoiled more and more towards the end. I feel sorry for him. That's an example how to destroy personality by musical masturbation.
i love how the whole video works on the most boring part of the best movement of the concerto, i was waiting for it to go on to the big explosive part after that but it didnt
Devon Zubka It's the most beautiful part of the concerto to many. Your tastes are not law. In fact, if you think this section is boring, they're not even good.

He is very gentle with the student.
I wish I could hear music the way this man can

I love how he describe what the bow can do for example colour changing colaborated with variaty of the vibrato.

Wow. I really admire this man

I want one of him. I hope there's more of him out there. ♥♥
BEAUTIFUL
That's Sebastian Baverstam, the poster boy of NEC (literally). Young cellist w great potential.
The teacher of Truls Mørk! Great!
This is about the middle section of the first movement of Dvorak's cello concerto

I have one big question: do you guys have a masterclass for the double bass too?
can i get this on iTunes? i'm new in classical and don't know what to search
This is first part of this Concerto - the middle of it :)
Thanks for your comment. He is truly one of the great teachers. You know you can buy the whole masterclass on DVD from the address shown on the clip.

What is this piece called?
who's the other cellist?
The student hot :D
and play BEAUTIFULY
Do you have a masterclass for triangle? Just kidding!
Use more bow than you think you can
I wish this young man were my boyfriend. His practicing wouldn't bug me one bit. And he's cute! A cute cellist! Ah, a perfect world.
No, he's swedish
Great masterclass. Wonderful teacher and student. But if I was that piano player... haha, I think I'd go crazy starting and stopping every few seconds! When I play piano, I'm just happy when I don't hit a wrong note!
And not every great musician is gay... even if they were, who cares?
@cellogeek95 really? i would have bet my index finger he was german, well guess i need more practice.
Helmerson spoils this student. Dvorak does not require a new expression for each note, the contrary is true.It's just stupid what Helmerson says...

Oh, my God. I had never realized I would hear the term "musical masturbation" until now and I love it.

The teacher cannot word metaphors correctly. He is a stupendous teacher though. He also seems to have trouble with english.
