    I gather that some of you are experiencing advertising on this channel and I would like to state unequivocally that there is NO advertising from me on ANY of the recordings in the whole channel of mine. I am reposting the reply to the somewhat insulting comment of ctrl scrutiniser :
    "This channel is not monetised anywhere. This recording is not monetised AND it has no advertising from my end anywhere. Maybe some of you should wake up to the fact that youtube is a censorship NAZI platform (like google, skype whatsapp, windows etc. etc.) and take it out on them. "

Quand j'entends cette merveille musicale, je ne peux pas penser à autre chose qu'à lui et aux belles valeurs de douceur, d'harmonie, de force tranquille, qu'il a léguées à toutes les personnes qui l'ont rencontré.

    Yes, he recorded them in two batches at Paris and London during the Spanish Civil War... In fact, he discovered the scores in Barcelona, they were forgotten as cellists thought they were mere exercises. He then rehearsed them for more than 10 years before performing and discovering them to the world. Amazingly, he was so upset by the allies refusal to liberate Spain from Franco's dictatorship that he refused to play in public for more than 15 years after IIWW, only taking students at his modest residence in Prades, France, close to is natal Catalonia. He could not, would not, return to live in Spain, dying just before Franco. His was an inspiring life, an undeterred commitment to music, peace, democracy... a tru hero in music and in silence.

    I worked for a while with Manfred Clynes, who had accompanied Casals on piano in Puerto Rico when Casals was teaching there. Manfred, an accomplished musician (and inventor) in his own right, considered Casals a musical avatar whose death removed from our world something unique, precious, and irreplaceable. This gorgeous recording shows how true that is.

    • @johnervin8033
      @johnervin8033 2 года назад +3

      Amen. Historically informed is for newbies and wannabes, anyway. Klemperer rocks my block like an LA aftershock and he plays everything just as he likes, and it all resurrects the deepest spirit of whoever it is he's rendering, Bach with Christa Ludwig (St. Matthew's Passion for EMI), Handel (his "Messiah" recording is one of the few open-ended religious experiences I know, stratospheric, seraphic, astounded me the first time I heard "For Unto Us Is Born" so that I had chills running through all my nerves for the whole evening), Gluck, Brahms, and on and on and on. Like Landowska said, "You play Bach your way and I'll play him his way." Klemperer may have seemed like a nut at times to some (my mother, a Hollywood sweetheart from 1922 on, offered me anecdotes of him coming onstage in his stocking feet to "epater la bourgeoisie" who ran the joint and LA Phil, in his Nazi-refugee stint here in the 1930s, much like Solti telling the Chicago mossback blueblood "orchestra society" ladies that rather than criticize him, they should just build him a statue in front of the hall, which they later did). But Klemperer in his musical soul was as close to God as any musician I ever heard, in his stockings, or shod. A lot like Casals. Spiritually informed, historically indifferent, as to the real relevance of all that jazz. (And I've played Bach as Christoph von Dohnanyi told us of his version of the Mass, "the old-fashioned way", on the Steinweg he hand-picked at the factory, and brought back from Hamburg, when his brother was mayor then. So at least there's that, as spotty and self-taught as I am...and historically less-than-informed.)

    "I used to think that eighty was a very old age. Now I am ninety. I do not think this any more. As long as you are able to admire and to love, you are young." - Pablo Casals //// In 1957, at age 80, Casals married 20-year-old Marta Montañez y Martinez. He is said to have dismissed concerns that marriage to someone 60 years his junior might be hazardous by saying, "I look at it this way: if she dies, she dies."

      Have you heard the versions of the French cellist Pierre Fournier? He used to say that, even though the ones by Casals are splendid, they suffer from a romantic feeling that was not in Bach. His interpretations are, then, an intent to rescue the original feeling of Bach's compositions.

Columbia University's radio station WKCR holiday Bachfest featured Wanda Landowska's absolutely Sturm und Drang rendition of the Bach Harpsichord Concerto in D-minor and it blew me away.

      Bach was many things. To call or to consider him merely a music-maker, was, to him, the meanest of insults. This I remember reading, from a bona fide source. One critic or writer back in this time, had the nerve or gall to scribe it. Bach was deeply wounded! His own notion, was that he was a scientist.

The only classical record I liked when I was 16 or so ( and still do), was Reinbert de Leeuw's album with compositions of Erik Satie. And I never was busy with classical music, untill a friend introduced me To Pablo in 2010. I immediately loved it and play it very often and admire his dedication and musicianship. What a pity I have never seen him play.
