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.
Tortelier as ever is absolutely brilliant! Just untouchable! But how on earth was Paganini able to compose this amazing piece of music out of his head? What an utter musical genious. Clearly, Tortelier and Paganini never met.....but their music together is incomparable!!

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 👏 !!!

I admire the exuberant personality that shone through his playing.
GRANDIOSSO

I agree
Many thanks for sharing this performance. Paul Tortelier, I wished he was still a live ! 👍🎶😀
Saw him a few times in London and when I was living in Paris .

7:00 His facial expression after this harmonics insanity is just brilliant. He looks so relieved to have got this section over with!
Oh my God,....gorgeous.
I wanna play that piece 😍😍😍
Amazing how few views this has had.
Real shame this genius has passed the younger generation by 🤔
Marvelous bow control
magnificent. great performance I think. thx for uploading.
I so adore his passion for music. So emotional 😢 but I'm also happy to listen to this too
😍😍Maravilloso
Merveilleux .
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…
Quand un simple être humain tend vers le DIVIN. 💖💖💖
The master at work!
The best
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)
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
This is wonderful. Is there any other information available (date, venue, orchestra, conductor)?
I love the little mistakes and how he brings the thumb so easy in first position. Beautiful video!
💖
Que bueno es
Shifting on his thumb like a boss at 2:36
슬프면서 행복한 연주
Que sonido logra ese cello con los graves...!
👍👍
His hands are so fast😶
did you see how happy he was to get out of that whistling E?
