    15 years ago, I asked an older gentleman at church if he was a musician (takes one to know one)
    Found out he played cello, had a double major at Juilliard, and spent his career playing in the NY Symphony Ballet Orchestra (I verified it...wow)
    Then learned he was basically homeless, bi-polar, & 1000 miles from home
    We became friends and we did what we could for him
    To show his gratitude, he borrowed a cello from a local music store and walked miles with it to my house
    He said he wanted to play for us while we had dinner... THIS is the song he played
    I still can't listen to it or tell the story without at least a few tears
    Bless your beautiful soul Daven Jenkins, wherever you are my friend

    The Cello you see here is over 300 years old. It was built in 1720 by famed Violoncello builder Domenico Montagnana in Venice, Italy. The anonymous previous owner was a fellow Cellist and admirer of Misha. On his deathbed at 94 years of age, he offered it to Mischa for a low symbolic price after being moved to tears by his music. This was in 1973, when Misha was only 25. Since then, he has mainly played this Cello, for 50 years now. Its value is estimated at around 5 million Dollars.

    How can 873 people dislike this Bach concerto.
    Alongside Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, was one of the most naturally gifted composers of all time.
    His compositions are works of a complete Genius, a master of all instruments, its almost divine intervention.

      Peter Lewis I think the dislikes are about the style of the performer, not the piece itself.
      Also, a concerto consists of a soloist and orchestra accompaniment. This is a suite: a collection of pieces that tie together. I do agree that Bach is an amazing composer and I really love listening to it. I'm glad you do too! :)

      I think because he doesn't move his bow back and forth like the others do, he takes one long sweep of the bow and then tilts it or uses his fingers to generate the notes. It's way smoother and more fluid, his bow is continuously just taking nice, long sweeps.

    This music is so incredible to me because I can put it on and it feels like a complete paradigm shift in my perception of reality.
    I mean the world looks and feels different to me when I hear it.
    What I mean is, there came a point when my wife and kids had left, and my house was relatively bare minus beautiful wooden floor boards and a northward sun- facing kitchen.
    Then you go put this on at a descent volume, either at a point when the sun is glowing off everything mid morning or late at night and its dead quiet, and honestly it feels like a triumphant rebuttal.
    Its as if to say "my life feels so totally complete when I hear it reveberate across the whole house that if I honestly died in my sleep tonight I don't think that I've missed out, on anything."
    So you can play this in an empty home where a family used to live, where children ran and fought in the hall and there was a wife you could put your arms around, but now, ten o'clock at night in an empty house; life feels complete. Like you lack, or want nothing.
    I felt compelled to say this because somewhere, out there in the world there are people who have a profoundly simple appreciation for life and sometimes it hurts to know you'll never meet hardly any of them.
    So who, or where ever you are, its sad we'll never meet, but at least theirs something we can agree upon.
    This music is awesome.
    Its so good to read comments and know so many people feel the same way.

As the father of two daughters, I feel as though where I've mostly succeeded as a Dad is producing two young women who are academically and artistically talented, have hobbies are physically active, and are self-aware and emotionally intelligent. If you marry someone who lacks most of these things, but instead relies upon alcohol as a crutch to get through life you'll not only get divorced but end up with kids who dream of the day that they can leave home and move far, far away.
      If you marry the wrong person, sitting in solitude listening to great music and communicating with people who feel the same way about that music, late at night, will feel like more friendship than the person you were married to for the best part of two decades.

Due to acoustics off the dome-type form of the passageway or maybe to his pure talent, I do not know. A man, his cello, this place, late afternoon, scattered Parisian sky, all made one coherent sound.
    Now that the streets are empty, I imagine that a man, now older, comes back with his cello, just like the old time, and plays just the same, only this time, to himself and God. - nyc, 3/16/2020

      Practice, audition, ask questions, and nevermind seeming ignorant. Go to that school that specialises in the arts, find a mentor, don't give up, find new things to love and learn in the cello, and, in the worst case that occurred to me, if you find yourself with no opportunity or no peers and professors who wish for your advancement, SEEK THEM OUT. Good luck, I wish you the best and hope you see it through!

      There’s an explainer for Oswald Spengler’s “Decline of the West” that’s on here. I forget which one, about 20 to 30 minutes. Either way Spengler talks about how different civilizations are driven by different spirits that affect everything. EVERYTHING. about them. He compared and contrasted Roman and Faustian (post-Roman Western Europe) civilizations and their art. The Romans were an inward looking people. Their art reflected instantaneous snapshots in time in incredible detail. Those statues were their artistic expression, the one they mastered. Since the Romans that art has been imitated and admired but never done in the true earnestness the Romans did.
      For us, the Faustian West, we chose music. He calls us Faustian because Faust made a pact with the devil for unlimited knowledge. He just HAD to know. Had to expand, to see, to learn. Music fills the silence of the space you’re in, so we were drawn to it. So he says. Either way, nobody else has mastered music like we did. It’s not even close, really.
