[banging head on desk in frustration...] Why do clueless amateurs & even so-called profs see fit to "explain" to the rest of us viewers that she is "holding the bow wrong" (or "funny"), or that she "moves her head too much"? When you have reached her level of artistry you will be qualified to tell her how much she should move her head. Nobody would DARE say that about Midori, nor would they have any right. A musician moves with his/her instrument, she is part of it or if you prefer it is part of her. Some of us move more, some less. As for the bow: One - Last - Time: if you pay attention you'll note that she holds it differently when playing _baroque_ pieces. And there, boys and girls, is your cue. That is the manner in which it was held when baroque music was first written and played. Do a search for Jordi Savall & you will see the precursor to the cello, the viola da gamba, and also see the precursor to our modern-day bows. Now you begin to understand how that previous "grip" came to be...it was the only way to hold the bow of that earlier day and construction.
it's a German thing - on one hand always in awe of the "genius" who just "happens" to be amazingly talented, on the other hand, there has to be criticism, because where would it leave the "average" person if the talent wouldn't be "flawed"...
I love how you hold your bow and can't wait to try it. I was a lifelong cellist but after I graduated college with a major in cello performance my motivation took a dump. Now I'm 43 and, though I don't speak a lick of German, your video has inspired me. My daughter speaks German and I will ask her to translate for me soon. I love your style and your tone---thank you very much. - Charity Grant Madison, WI, USA

Debo aclarar que yo respondi con estos comentarios a alguien que puso un comentario increiblemente obsceno. Debo pedirles disculpas, primero a Sol Gabetta, y a toda la gente educada
@Blueflame74589 She's playing baroque but she's using a new bow, that's why she must grab it like that in order to play as she must to respect the style.

Is that a Baroque bow or something? Because she holds it more towards the balance point than the frog. Also, in the museum she played without the end pin out. Hard core.
das ist die "alte" weise den Bogen zu halten, die Cello und Bogen haltung hat sich über die Jahrhunderte geändert wird aber z.B. bei Barock oft weiter verwendet.
I am curious as to whether you are using open A & D gut strings for this recording. They look like open guts but I can 't see clearly on the video. Also what is your rationale for still using end pin for the vivaldi concerto? For better projection of sound. As it won't be an entirely authentic setup but then I presume you are still having the cello as modern set up (ie. modern bridge and bass bar etc)
@k73f All gut. With no winding on the top two it's hard to tell but they look like pure unwound gut. The bottom two look like Pirastro Eudoxa (possibly pirastro chorda but too hard to tell with the colour on my computer).
Danke für deine Antwort! ich hab das selber mal ausprobiert, und das ist mal was anderes und erzeugt einen weicheren Klang, finde ich... aber persönlich spiele ich am liebsten wie immer :-D
Sol is a grand yound madame of the cello. Astraight cellist,in the world of grand FAKE,as in the violin world. i I wish to hear her playing Brahms double concerto with the other no nonsence artist HILLARY HAHN.
@Kamaza9 LOL! ;^D Yeah, come to think of it, I guess I do have an extremely vague recollection of myself doing that in the past when my teacher taught strings class in school. I just dont remember what was the purpose of doing that. Now I'm laughing at my own comment 6 days ago, lololololol! She sure holds the bow funny, lol!
do you play barock cello?? anyway there's not a rule about that..i could say that you're not obliged to hold it just at the frog, because you don't need as much pressure as in romantic period
Guter Beitrag, distanziert er sich doch deutlich von Phänomenen wie den Geigen-Girlies! Frische Gesichter beleben den Klassikmarkt. Wenn nur Puristen die "wahre Kunst" zu schätzen wissen, bringt das keine Verkaufzahlen, zumal jene lieber ins Konzert gehen, als sich ne CD zu kaufen. Simplifikation ist wichtig, damit die Musik auch unstudierten Menschen näher gebracht werden kann. Der Versuch, mehr Menschen zur Klassik zu führen, ist lobenswert, dieser Beitrag hilft dabei.
Ja wie ein menschlische Stimme. And you hold it between your legs! ;) (I played the cello once. And I can tell you I felt sexy...) And we thought noone would ever match Jackie! Duet? Listen to Tortelier husband and wife play the Handel piece!
Prodigius Sol Gabetta!! But what about the coments of the presentator about Valencia and the Catalan Culture? I´m from Valencia, do you know anything about the ancient kingdom of Valencia? Our current own identity? Our current politic situation as an autonomous community of the Spanish nation? Valencian Popes of Rome were Alexander VI and Calixto III. Valencia was already a Kingdom when CATALONIAN REGION was by then a bunch of Counties. I beg you to study our true History!! stop to the lies from catalan nationalism. Once and for all!! Please.
Tu increible falta de respeto muestra el bajo nivel en el que te mueves.Pero debo reconocer que tu no eres responsable de estar alli. Fue la tecnica del gran dictador, y adoptada y seguida en la actualidad. Darte dinero pero jamas educarte. Porque educado podras pensar y eso es peligroso para dictadores. Asi vamos y asi se fueron los educados

Oh that was 17 years ago!!! She's made it right to the top by now: April 2024: a wonderful ceĺlo player!!!❤
Wohlverdient der Preis. Habe sie in Köln gesehen und war einfach nur begeistert!
This is actually the way to hold the bow in the baroque era, so it's not wrong. Please inform yourself before making an ignorant comment.
Sol es la mejor cellista de su generación y además es un ser maravilloso!
Toca divinamente.
Sol! Que manera única de decir a través de este maravilloso instrumento! Excepcional!
Amazing sound quality from her Guadagnini cello!!

@neznamko yay for that. my russian cello teacher used to say about fingering "you can use your nose to play, as long as it sounds great"
Die 16 Jahre alten Aufnahmen sehen aus wie aus dem Jahre 1948 :)
I LOVE her! I've seen her like 5 times! She really friendly backstage, I want to be like her someday.
Ella es de la tierra, de mujeres divinas...ella es Argentina...como Sol, no hay!!!!
Es una instrumentista increible!
BRAVA! Sie ist einfach SUPER!!!

Ich hoffe ich kann später auch mal so spielen...;-)
aber traumhaft da zu zuhören und sich von den Klängen eines Cello "verzaubern" zu lassen... :-D
this is absolutely usual and normal to hold baroque bows like this.

@thiagoblanco She is using a Baroque bow as well!
Gebe ich dir absolut recht - und sowas fordert Zwangsgebühren!
Wonderful! And they used to complain when du Pre' moved! People gotta move when they play. Lovely job best of luck in your career!

Bien Argentina: atravesada por mil culturas. Es ist eine schoene video. Ich habe Heute sie entdeckt.

Ich spiele auch Cello 😊
Danke für den Beitrag, den habe ich schonmal gesehen. Würde mich freuen wenn die Essener Philharmonie sie mal einladen würde
Antonio Vivaldi:
Violin Concerto F Minor, RV 297 "Winter" trans. for Cello) - 2. Largo

is that the way you hold a viol or baroque cello bow?
das ist die "alte" weise den Bogen zu halten, die Cello und Bogen haltung hat sich über die Jahrhunderte geändert wird aber z.B. bei Barock oft weiter verwendet.

@k73f All gut. With no winding on the top two it's hard to tell but they look like pure unwound gut. The bottom two look like Pirastro Eudoxa (possibly pirastro chorda but too hard to tell with the colour on my computer).
Yes!
that's Treviso!!! My city :D:D:D
Danke für deine Antwort! ich hab das selber mal ausprobiert, und das ist mal was anderes und erzeugt einen weicheren Klang, finde ich... aber persönlich spiele ich am liebsten wie immer :-D
Sol is a grand yound madame of the cello.
Astraight cellist,in the world of grand FAKE,as in the violin world. i I wish to hear her playing Brahms double concerto with the other no nonsence artist HILLARY HAHN.

@Kamaza9 LOL! ;^D Yeah, come to think of it, I guess I do have an extremely vague recollection of myself doing that in the past when my teacher taught strings class in school. I just dont remember what was the purpose of doing that. Now I'm laughing at my own comment 6 days ago, lololololol! She sure holds the bow funny, lol!
3:06 con el gran antonio carrizo!!!
Wie hält sie den Bogen denn? find ich cool ;) kann mir einer sagen ob das so muss und wenn ja warum?
Ist ein Barock Bogengriff eignet sich sehr gut für bach
There're a lot of ways to hold your cello bow.She isn't holding her bow wrong,just another bow grip.
Yes, it is. Actually, I cannot understand how to play holding the bow like she does.
was Stadt ist das?
yes, she is :-D
um k mart?
Could anyone please tell me the piece played in 0:57
Concerto in F major, RV 410 - 1 .Allegro - Vivaldi

@celloprof uhm, that's a baroque technique.... she doesn't do that in other pieces.
shouldn't you, like, know that being a cello prof?
do you play barock cello?? anyway there's not a rule about that..i could say that you're not obliged to hold it just at the frog, because you don't need as much pressure as in romantic period
oh!
anyone please tell me the piece played in 3:12 ?
weber adagio and rondo
Elliot Kim thank you 😉👏👏👍👍
Sorry don't speak german. Is that her at 3:10? It looks like it was from 50 years ago.... :\
Yes
She sure holds the bow funny, holding several inches up to high. I guess whatever works, works.

@elymel1 pero si tenes a los wachiturros y bailando por un sueño no te quejes! deja que sol nos haga quedar en europa como un pais de rubios cultos.
Name of the song during 4:27? Anyone?
It´s from Vivaldis Winter: th-cam.com/video/xc_yKk0k5XE/w-d-xo.html
Acabo the encontrar el obsceno comentario del mal educado. Es "pazpereira 2000".
Why did you have this strange bow hold?:)
Reading the below comments might tell you that she's holding the bow baroque style.
Well, with that much practise, she seems to have got used to it... I keep holding it in the "standard" way!
Warum diese Bogenhaltung? :D
+Leonard Schöler Die Bogenhaltung war zu Vivaldis Zeiten meines Wissens Standard.
Danke für die Info :)
Marktlücke? Konkurrenz ist nicht in Sicht?! :D
celloist!
She holds her bow wierd...
Prodigius Sol Gabetta!!
