In my own humble opinion, the best cellist ever, he makes the cello speak in a way that others can only dream of doing. I was so lucky to get to see him a couple of times. RIP M. Tortelier.
What makes this so different -- and interesting -- is that he plays the piece with style. It sounds slow when you first listen to it compared to how many play it today. But if you play it just a little bit slower than what we're used to (today) so much nuance and style comes out. He played with such style. The music actually has time to speak.

Le Grand Maître du violoncelle semblait déjà assez âgé ici ; nonobstant, une parfaite maîtrise de l'archet, assez époustouflante sur ce difficile Paganini ! BRAVO... Quant à la justesse des notes, n'y aurait-il pas quelques petits canetons, par ci par là (nota bene : un caneton est déjà un PETIT canard 🦆 😉 ) ? Peut-être un demi-ton, voire un quart de ton, 5 ou 6 fois sur 8 minutes de jeu .....????? BRAVO, Monsieur Tortelier 👏 !!!

My Father put me onto Paul.
We used to watch his master classes on the BBC. Terrific player and teacher !!!
Saw him a few times in London and when I was living in Paris .
The Great Maestro , in my heart forever ㅠㅠㅠ
I agree
Mi Querido y Gran Maestro!!!!
Gran Ser
Gracias!!!!
Amazing how few views this has had.
Real shame this genius has passed the younger generation by 🤔
Many thanks for sharing this performance. Paul Tortelier, I wished he was still a live ! 👍🎶😀
Marvelous bow control
I so adore his passion for music. So emotional 😢 but I'm also happy to listen to this too
7:00 His facial expression after this harmonics insanity is just brilliant. He looks so relieved to have got this section over with!
For a very long time, I hum this music unconsciously whatever I am doing, walking, washing the dishes, riding my bicycle, staring out of the window…
Oh my God,....gorgeous.
The master at work!
I wanna play that piece 😍😍😍
magnificent. great performance I think. thx for uploading.
After searching for a better interpretation of this piece and failing to do so, I come back to Tortelier.
Same for Grieg Sonata too.
Look up Garry Karr playing it on double bass. Unreal. (Of course this is awesome as well)
Merveilleux .
😍😍Maravilloso
Si amas el Chelo , entonces amas a Paul Tortelier . Grande maestro , bravo !!!
A mi en mi opinion no me gusta como toca tiene demaciadas fallas tecnicas y de afinacion

@@jaimerauno5549 podrías ser más específico sobre las fallas técnicas por favor
The best
This is wonderful. Is there any other information available (date, venue, orchestra, conductor)?
슬프면서 행복한 연주
💖
Shifting on his thumb like a boss at 2:36

Que bueno es
His hands are so fast😶

I love the little mistakes and how he brings the thumb so easy in first position. Beautiful video!
