As a former professional cellist this is one of my top 5 cello performances. He makes it look so easy. It may not be the most technical piece but his arrangement, intonation, and pacing of this song amazing.
@@braydenk.8348 Completely, Cellos are much more difficult than Violins for sure. In fact, Violins are the easiest of the four classical orchestra instruments.
I wish people were more aware of how difficult it is to play with intonation this great with such a clear sound. I'm so thankful that I got to watch this video!
@rrcc8367 There are different ways to play each piece. I played a grade 8 piece 2 months after I started - got all the notes, but sounded like trash. It's about the execution here. It's the artistry that makes a song easy or difficult, not the notes. The intonation esp on the double stops at the top end takes a lot of practice, and putting drama into a song is by no means easy. If you want to just hit the notes, ya, anyone can do it. If you want to sound good, or emotional...it's not easy.
As a good amateur cellist, I'm in awe. The double stops so cleanly played are remarkable. He plays musically, with soul and perfect intonation a supremely difficult piece. Much much easier on the organ.
So I came here simply because I'm on a RUclips binge of different Instruments covering this piece, and I sort just jokingly thought to myself, "Huh I wonder if anyone has attempted this on Cello..." Not just attempted, as it turns out, but _mastered_ !
To the 229 dislikes, how sad for you! His style, his fingering and love for his cello is beautiful and haunting. This is why I picked up my cello after 10 yrs.
There is a similar section to this in the third mvmt of the saint saens cello concerto if you want to hear more. Octaves are a wonderful thing on the cello.
What I find most beautiful, is the Greek influence in this performance. The slight "slurs" and bending of notes at particular transitions. Gives me chills. And the acoustics are insane; the low bass resonance. This is now my most favorite version of this piece. Truly amazing. Thank you!!!
I agree. I've played this piece on the piano. It's ten times more difficult on the cello. I am a good cellist but I would never be able to play this piece with such clear perfection intonation. Man is a genius.
What a wonderful arrangement and fantastically perfect played Constandino. My admiration and respect for you. Wonderful musician!!!!! Amazing. You trancribed it 1 tone lower for the open strings BRAVO!!!
I am in love, this man is fantastic, he and his cello make more than music, he builds substance emotion and musical colour. he inspires me to torture my own cello with poor attempts.
You obviously have that wind of inspiration and magnetism that goes beyond just technique alone. You are amazing. Thanks for blessing us with your performance!
This guy is a legend! How can one thumb down with critics about his hands positions? Thelonious Monk was a genious at playing piano and who cared about his fingering or seating position? The most important is the music not how you hold the instrument. Music is art and people express it in different ways so seat back and enjoy it.
Extraordinario, so fined.. Big magic musician.. God bless alwais yuar life and giant art..im a guitarist..I can see yuar top one level super junger master.. Thank Yu very much spetial for shared. Pleae yu receve my hug. Thank Yu.
Holy! As a cello player myself, I though this would be an impossible piece of music to play (like this) with cello. This is marvellous! I wonder who has arranged this - maybe himself?
The note on 1:45 would sound a little more eerie if it slowly went flat or down in pitch as it faded. It already sounds quite like that, very subtly. It’s beautiful! I always like hearing the fugue right after!
This was nicely arranged to get as much polyphony out of it as possible. Not only double-stops, but also using the opportunity to pizzicato adjacent strings. Bravo!
Man this is brilliant. Cello is by far my favorite classical string instrument second only to guitar. Those highs...those lows! Would love to own one sometime. This is very inspiring.

His double stops were insanely clean, which I’d argue are quite difficult to execute on the cello compared to the violin.
I've been a regular on this video since I found it (3 years already). Truly a masterpiece. I dont think I'll ever stop listening.
ikr i am kind of an amateur but ican play alot of songs and i can say this is abaut impossible for me

@@braydenk.8348 Absolutely. Unbelievable!

@@nebulasky6863 Far from anybody can play this piece. It's incredibly difficult. I'm a good amateur cellist.
This piece is incredibly difficult. I'm also a good amateur cellist. This is really great mastery here
This man, to put it simply, is an absolute musical genius of a cellist.
👏👏👏👏
This video is why I chose to learn cello as an adult a year ago.

Harp versions are also great.

The reverb of the room just adds so much depth this is an incredible performance
Oh man, 4:36 to 4:44 is possibly the most incredible sound I've ever heard from a cello.

@@nuffim3277 But very difficult to play in tune.
OMG! Sweet example of why humankind deserve to be here
Это гениальное исполнение. Страшно представить - на какой уровень мастерства поднялся. Это уровень самых великих музыкантов.
125 organists disliked this, cause he just whooped your ass
Doing it all with two limbs instead of four is pique modern man.
Heuehehe
Technique: unconventional
Performance: incredible
the beauty of this piece alone is fascinating but if you've ever played cello you know how unfathomably difficult this must be
Yes! Almost impossible. Far easier on the violin.
Bach is amazing, you are amazing. Life is amazing.
I am amazing as well.
What I find most beautiful, is the Greek influence in this performance. The slight "slurs" and bending of notes at particular transitions. Gives me chills. And the acoustics are insane; the low bass resonance. This is now my most favorite version of this piece. Truly amazing. Thank you!!!
The angels are weeping tears of pure joy over this.
This si actually one of the most amazing cello performances i have ever seen
The trascription in C minor is well done, and the performance is one of the best I've ever heard! Simply amazing!
Very well transcribed for solo strings... and powerfully played. Impressed!
I'm not a musician. I know literally jack shit about music. I just know I like this.
u seen luke smiths new podcast?
You don't have to know anything about music to enjoy it.
Thanks, my good NPC
If you like it your a musician
it doesnt matter orange man bad!
That was stupendous! What a technique, what a sound!
Why would anyone want to downvote this. A serious young cellist. Very interesting arrangement.
I have listened to (and watched) this video so many times. I come back to it now and then. Everytime it is such a profound experience.
Great transcription, powerful performance and a clear pure intonation!
I damn near blew out my car speakers listening to this on break at work
Absolutely beautiful performance. A very soulful sound and skilfully delivered with such precision.
I can't stop listening to it. It's so powerful. The sound, the echo, he's very good.
You are a masterful musician and superb cellist.. I salute you
Meu Deus do céu amado, isto está em outro nível...
Double stops are amazing and and excellent demonstration of rubato properly employed!
My favorite work for an organ. It's even been done on a harp. I wouldn't have believed it possible on a cello. This is fantastic.
I agree. I've played this piece on the piano. It's ten times more difficult on the cello. I am a good cellist but I would never be able to play this piece with such clear perfection intonation. Man is a genius.
It penetrated to the depths of the soul. Bravo!
Solo puedo ponerme de pie y aplaudir!!! Me dejó el pecho lleno de magia esta interpretación!! Gracias por compartir
Vibrating those strings into a melancholic resonance streams into an exceptional serenity. Beautiful rendition!
The thought that anyone could give this performance a thumbs down boggles my mind.
His technique elicits a beautiful resonance from an incredible instrument that complies to perfection!! Bravo young man! Bach 😌
I’m speechless. I was absolutely captivated for every second.
HE WENT OFF THE FINGERBOARD...............This is amazing
I downloaded it to my MP3 player...that how well this guy plays it...I am not a classic music lover but it made me lay back and think about life...
What a wonderful arrangement and fantastically perfect played Constandino. My admiration and respect for you. Wonderful musician!!!!! Amazing. You trancribed it 1 tone lower for the open strings BRAVO!!!
Este es uno de mis instrumentos favoritos, junto al violin y la guitarra.
Excelente interpretación del maestro, felicidades.
I love when a piece of music leaves me speechless. Well done, sir.
Impressionante! Impressive. Grande artista, great! Bravo, bravo, BRAVO! Clap clap clap!!!!
Can I ask for a copy of music sheet?
I know nothing about Bach but... with my eyes closed, this is so beautiful and emotional. I love it.
Correction, this is a toccata in D minor originally, but this one is transposed in C minor for cello
Kavier V Piano That's what I thought, too. He played his open C string at 0:43 even though it's supposed to be a D. Still a great piece in any key.
Thanks Captain Obvious
what if he did a drop D tuning :P
well he didn't but it doesn't matter it's nice even in c minor
Nick Shelton
Not sure, but it would be costly.
This is truly a gem here in RUclips
Wow... Such power!!! Truly amazing performance with excellent tone. Very impressive!
I am in love, this man is fantastic, he and his cello make more than music, he builds substance emotion and musical colour. he inspires me to torture my own cello with poor attempts.
So beautiful! Cello speaks to the soul!
Most beautiful instrument and the closes to the human voice.
Sorry, closest.
La Toccata au violoncelle, Il fallait oser ! Il l'a fait, divinement bien !
I always come back to watch this... you re amazing

My only question is who would dislike this?

lmao I was being sarcastic, I love it. I asked who would dislike it? I hate lady gaga. And you must not read English very well.

This really captures the heart of the piece.

Absolutely spectacular!
Merci infiniment pour toute cette beauté

Speechless !! I stopped playing the cello years ago. This guy inspired me again.

Bravo das ist super klasse danke dafür
Thank you for this...this has propelled me in personal practice and is so beautifully done.
es un masazo musical se siente todo el esfuerzo puesto en cada maldita nota...genio
Meu Deus, lindo demais!!!
Man, nothing sounds so great as a cello played well. Excellent work.
phew.... Cried a little bit BUT I'M OK NOW BRAVO lol
Πολλά συγχαρητήρια!!! 👏👏👏

καλὸς κἀγαθός!
This is amazing. It's played clean with so much creativity and passion.
Congratulations, Maestro!

Pizzicato and chords at the same time while soling. This is too good
