Over The Top Episode #004 with Cellist, Zlatomir Fung
Takeaways
Zlatimir Fung began playing the cello at a young age and received his formative musical training in the Boston area.
He had influential teachers, including a Suzuki teacher and Emmanuel Feldman, who helped shape his technique and musicality.
Zlatimir emphasizes the importance of collaboration and community in music, which he learned through the Suzuki method.
He believes that music is a language learned through imitation and that the score is an imperfect representation of the composer's idea.
Zlatimir values creating a deep relationship with the music when performing and aims to provide a rich and meaningful experience for the audience.
He has a diverse taste in repertoire and is fascinated by the music of Joseph Marie Clement Ferdinand dell'Abaco. Zlatomir Fung enjoys playing Baroque music, particularly Joseph dell'Abaco's Caprices, which are improvisatory and virtuosic.
He discusses the challenges and motivation of performing during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Bach's music has shaped Fung's playing and taught him important techniques and skills.
Fung reflects on his most memorable performances and the joy and difficulty of being a musician.
His upcoming debut album features opera paraphrases for cello and piano, including his own arrangement of Janacek's Jänufa.
The conversation concludes with a sneak preview of Fung's performances of Gaspar Cassado's suite for solo cello and Rachmaninoff's cello sonata.

    I have listened to your music more than perhaps any other musician ever. I fell in love with your lush arrangements of Radiohead songs when your first album of them came out, and since then they have accompanied me during quiet, pensive mornings and long road trip stretches and evenings with friends. I truly love your music. Your arrangements are stunning and wildly beautiful, and your performances are full of such reverence and heart. Thank you for all that you do, Christopher.

    Christopher - I discovered True Love Waits in a Borders Books & Music store in 2004. I fell heads over heels in love. I listened to the whole album - and especially this song - over and over. What you do at the climax is breathtaking. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. It’s an honor to see you play and think back on those moments with my headphones on - 20 years ago.

    This brings me back to high school in the early 2000s. We had just returned from winter break and it’s the dead of winter. On this particular morning, I was in study hall reading the Diary of Anne Frank listening to Chris’s version of Motion Picture Soundtrack on my brand new iPod video. Study hall was located in our cafeteria - a large room filled with these big round greenish tables that could seat about 8 kids, and yet we all sat alone. I’m a terrible reader, so I needed a quick break and peaked out the wall sized windows l. It must have been about 7:30 am and all I could see was a singular light post illuminating the black with a flurry of snow coming down. An overwhelming sadness washed over me. To this day, Motion Picture Soundtrack is probably my favorite song, both Thom and Chris’s version and I will never forget that moment
