I hope that Mr. Zander will have a long and healthy life so that he can continue to bring his great philosophy to talented people, who might need these valuable information.. the difference of her playing is night and day at the end of this class
That boy the camera hones in on has been woken by the music, the musician, and the teacher. His face holds the overwhelming unfolding of understanding of the power of music played from the core
Dearest Benjamin Zander, you've made someone extremely happy. Reading his profound letter in public is just the miracle he couldn't have expected. We love you, Benjamin! And Schubert loves you too, no doubt.
@@camsun7326 I was calling you captain obvious! Obviously Schubert is dead and Marx knows that... pretty sure he said "Schubert loves you too" as in Schubert right now is looking down on his masterpiece being played and loving him for it
No. A. He's alive. B. Bob Ross used tricks, techniques to achieve a /visual effect/. Mr. Zander uses his /feelings/ to help someone else to help them convey feelings.
What Zander suggests to this extremely talented cellist is exactly how to play this movement, and for me music in general. I do disagree with Mr. Zander occasionally (the tempo of the first movement of the Mozart clarinet trio for example), but this is exceptionally beautiful and just the right way to play this and so many other things. This cellist is a real artist and she understands what he is doing so completely.
Ben is such an inspiration. I didn't much care for the Arpeggione sonata until I heard the Rostropovich/Britten recording - now it is a favourite work.
Strange things is happening in this session. Zander said - after Christine Lees first playing - that IT FELT too slow. Actually the difference between her first and second playing is 3,1 sec or: the second playing is 1,35% faster, which is not a SIGNIFICANT difference in my opinion. But when HE accompanied on the piano himself, he actually played the first part (a little less than 2 minutes) SLOWER than the part was played in her first playing, about 4 sec - which is quite a lot, I would say!. Christine Lee claimed after having Zander at the piano, that it was MUCH EASIER to play, but I dont think that had anything to do with the slower tempo. But he then said about music that the secret was "the disappearing of the eights-notes". Maybe there is some kind of an answer to all this in that expression, I dont know. Her playing, though, was beautiful - both times!
Yup. I had to listen to this again it's so beautiful. Benjamin Zander ... You could listen to music from the heavens and still give advice on how to make perfection.. more perfect!
@@TheTyme99 If you look at her facial features, her jaw is slack, and when she opens her eyes she blinks a few times as if trying to wake up. She was definitely sleeping lol
I may get a lot of flack for what I'm about to say, but I partially came here, because I thought it was Rie from Tasty and just had to check. Don't regret it though.
Woman has the audition of her life in a couple hours "You dont have to listen to me but nothing you did was right, good luck at your audition!". lol savage
thats absolutely not what he said. He just went straight to the point and said the tempo felt awkward and too slow. Players of that caliber can totally be flexible and adjust this kind of parameter with little effort. What requires the more time and practice are the technical aspects and the mastery of the sound but her playing is basically flawless and he really doesn't need to point that out.
I think Benjamin Zander means that the 8th note impulses disappear as the musician turns the slur into one impuls where the length of each included note can be freely interpreted.
fortunately he has Dina. Most piano players would be quite annoyed if he as a cellist pushed them aside and showed them some dozed times how to play in this special instance... But he is right here because it is no concerto but a teaching situation.....
She is the second cellist I've seen on these that has an unusual bow-hold, more like that of a violinist. I've tried it, and found that my control becomes terribly compromised. I am an amateur (no real talent), so is this a technique I just missed out on? Is this because the sonata was written for the arpeggione originally?
Schubert? Is this the same chap that wrote An Die Musik and the 2cd. subject of the "Unfinished"? It's the most BORING piece I've ever heard! Well done this young lass for injecting some REAL music into it. Lovely playing. (I should know, my sister led the 'cellos in the NYO at 15, and Sadlers Wells at 22 etc. etc. etc.)
And praise god, the Camera work is GOOD. Except for the closeup on that confused-looking little boy. What was THAT about? The rest of the camerawork is perfect. We see just what we want to see: right hand, left hand and damn little piano.
What do you mean by that? Sorry, I'm not really knowledgeable about music but I'm really interested in learning the cello so I want to know when it's good to use vibrato and when not to.
Lukasia I think qwaqwa1960 probably means to use the vibrato to accentuate certain parts more (like you see at 8:37). By using vibrato a bit more sparingly, thus increasing the "contrast" between accentuated parts, you can guide the listener emotionally and make it a more moving performance. But, as with all music, it's a matter of preference.
Her use of vibrato is the best I have ever heard from any string player. I have know this piece for about 70 years, and her playing of it stunned me.
Just had to check, but she clearly did wonderfully at her audition because she was the recipient of the Frank Beebe grant! She certainly deserves it.
Thanks so much for sharing that Christine got the Frank Beebe grant. Wonderful vibration.
I hope that Mr. Zander will have a long and healthy life so that he can continue to bring his great philosophy to talented people, who might need these valuable information.. the difference of her playing is night and day at the end of this class
Why can't more human beings be like Benjamin Zander?
He is a Jew and there are quite a few of them in conservatories around the world!
O my ... such beautiful playing ... That woman is an amazing cello player. And he is superb at bringing out nuances of feeling and expression.
Love her vibrato

Marx Movies Schubert is dead
@@camsun7326 Wow tell us more, Capt. Obvious! LOL
Kase O How is that obvious? It could be that some people here dont know that.
So there is no need for you to be so condescending towards them :/

Kase O “some people”.
He's literally the Bob Ross of music
Possibly the best description of this man I've ever read.
Funny cause i was just watching a Bob Ross tutorial before that
no way lol
Who's Bob Ross? I'm an Anglophile
No. A. He's alive. B. Bob Ross used tricks, techniques to achieve a /visual effect/. Mr. Zander uses his /feelings/ to help someone else to help them convey feelings.
I need to find someone with a heart as beautiful as the one of the letters author.
She is great

her playing is just full of emotions ❤
Superb phraseology, intonation, and dynamics even before Maestro Zander speaks, and then, even better lyricism.
Cant stop watching these classes gonna share with my musicians at church.

I use this for my story of life, when I moved from village to another town...superb, thanks.
How beautifully she can play...
Thank you
Watching towards the end of the video, that young man's letter to Zander almost made me cry. So beautifully said.
what a wonderful lesson feeling and expression
Yup. I had to listen to this again it's so beautiful. Benjamin Zander ... You could listen to music from the heavens and still give advice on how to make perfection.. more perfect!
I love that cello can sound like two different instruments depending where you play.
She plays so beautifully. I hope she can make a living doing this.
Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
and here we go again...crying because of a classical music.
It is a necessity ;)
0:50 me too
@Qveen. C Hahaha literally me
Goose bumps even before he said anything.
Christine great playing! It was very heartfelt.
She plays so beautifully
Beauty beyond words!
Scrolling through videos, and as soon as I saw "Arpeggione".....I was in.
It is suprisingly wonderful performance sway my heart. thank you
This guy is one with music

I am so proud of you.
I wonder how she did at her audition! I hope she secured a spot!
She won the grant.
Magnific and enchanted interpretation 🤫🙂👏👏
the guy at the end is my brother!
Música Maravillosa para El Alma y Espíritu.
You are an immaculate cello plsyer . I hope you won.
She did. www.beebefund.org/recip.htm
She's literally active listening and playing to the sped up pace that he's playing the piano
감정이입을 더 진하게하고 대비와 반전을 확실히하고 더 깊게 소리를 내라고 하잖아요~
amazing,awesome
What lovely
Playing! What cello/bow are you using?
Thank you sir.
Tremendous as usual. 😁😁
splendid playing
Wonderfull
I cracked up at 7:25 when the camera panned to the sleeping lady
I don't think she is sleeping, just listening.
@@TheTyme99 If you look at her facial features, her jaw is slack, and when she opens her eyes she blinks a few times as if trying to wake up. She was definitely sleeping lol
Nathan Chan in the audience???
Thought the same
Definitely. It's him :)
I may get a lot of flack for what I'm about to say, but I partially came here, because I thought it was Rie from Tasty and just had to check.
Don't regret it though.
Joe V I thought it looked like her too in the thumbnail!
Genious
너무 잘하자너

His comments are all to the pianist. 😅
I would like to marry Dina :)

what is this song?

Schubert Arpeggione Sonata 2nd mov.
Sorry to lower the standard, but her husband's hit the jackpot!
