I was like "Oh c'mon you don't need to sigh in the beggining"
He started and I was like: "Ok, sorry"
Haha me too. I raised an eyebrow but then the music started and my jaw dropped.
hahaha I can feel you I thought the same 😂😂
Coulda been the 10th take :P
I DID THE SAME THING LOOOOOOOL
Of course! But recording and public performance are two different things, no performance adrenaline to give it the extra edge, so yes, lots of takes. Not to mention the thousands of times he practiced.
I looked up “easy cello song” and this showed up
Go for it ;)
same wtf
lol I looked up "hardest cello piece ever" and this was the first video
LOL
Lol I searched up the opposite
I can’t even imagine the sheet music for this piece
Duane Johnson it’s like a different language lol. Tried getting it off of IMSLP and it kept crashing my iBooks app on my iPad
it's pretty insane. I tried to sight read off it - not possible
It’s absolutely insane. At some point it turns into a grand staff like what a piano uses
Here it is. Start at 20:46 th-cam.com/video/phygv_Et9sQ/w-d-xo.html
You are correct sir
I knew this was a hardcore piece when the guy started sweating
Then there's that video cello guy who would sweat if he played Mary Had a Little Lamb.
As a cellist it irritates me somewhat there are people out there like this who are relatively unknown who can play this sort of rep to perfection. If at this level they're not world famous, what the hell are you supposed to do to get to that point?
dorfler strad luck really
The right connections to the right people in addition to a unique personality
shake big butts and look "cool". That's what makes artists famous.
I'm sure that if he continues playing that he could be on a high level of fame at yo yo ma's age
Dubstep cello
Idk why people are saying this is so hard to play, my play button is working just fine for me
A+ comment
The amount of bow control u would have to have omg!!!!
Not just that but the fingers...
I kidding bro. Holllyy crappp
Loook at all his crazy pizz too! This piece is nothing but madness
Can we please get a twoset reaction to this
yesss
I would like to see how twoset reacts on this as well
his tone is so unique and his intonation is perfectly executed during the chords
This is insane, I love it!!!
Holy shitballs man, i'm feeling almost sick i am that impressed. Strange combi between wanting to grab my cello and study my ass off and wanting to give up all together ;-) Anyway, your sigh in the beginning says it all. Chapeau and thank you.
i feel the exact same way! inspiring yet dream crushing lol

IM CRUSHED YET LIKE IN AWE THAT THIS IS POSSIBLE IM HAVING A CELLOGASM
Me: "hey maybe Kodaly isn't as hard as I remember"
*gets out cello and tries it for a little while*
...holy shit that guy is good
*cello intensifies*
I love this piece because I feel as though I can always come back to listen and I always get something new from it. I remember first listening to it and hearing a jumble of discordant notes, but later came to realize this is such a deep piece.
I agree about your impression on first listening.
I love Kodaly’s Violin and Cello Sonata for that reason too
obviously people dont know how fucking hard this is
I think it's pretty obvious it is
It was the first result when I searched for "difficult cello solo". :D
@@tingliao9051yeah but like unless you play cello at a high level tbh it’s hard to know truly how hard it is
I just listened to this for the first time, and I can't believe what I've just heard. As a cellist myself, some of the things he did defy the standards of cello playing and I loved and soaked in every second of it. Extremely skilled and well performed!
what kind of psycho wrote this piece ... its like wieniawski for violi. the piece name is :how to torture a cellist
It's in the title his name was Zoltán Kodály he was a really famous musician music writer and also hungarian folk music collector
Angelos Del Toro I love you
how to torture a cellist is cannon in d
Speaking of Wieniawski and brutal pieces for cello, I've transcribed Wieniawski's 2nd violin concerto for cello, if you're interested. ;)
Hungarian music writer ppl
he is too good, its creeping me out on the thought that he doesn't do anything but practice his cello................
You are a great example that many "impossible" things can be played by one cello.
I’ m Hungarian, Kodály’s passion is ours. I can feel this piece, it’ s about us! If Kodály listened to this interpretation, he were amazed I’m sure. Excellent!
for sure ! stunning interpretation and so beautiful !
I am a big fan of these Sonata. Kodaly was a great composer for sure !
Kodaly would criticise it for being too fast. Again brilliant technique.
Thank you for all the kind comments :) I wonder how I would record this piece differently today? 🧐
By the way, I swear on oath this recording is not sped up. Just adrenaline
Different cameraman lmao
*True horror and amazement doesn’t exi-*
Amazing! This is one of the hardest pieces in the cello repertoire, but you make it look so easy! Truly wonderful, and you're probably the only that can play it this well at this crazy tempo. Nevertheless, it sounds great.
@Yitong Wan Same thoughts. Go look at Koranyi if you want effortless playing
@@s.l5787 bruh, you must be this koranyi dude, youre in every comment section saying to check this out
oh no man he doesn't make it look easy
The 'sigh' is shorthand for "Fuck! Here we go! Hang on!!"
i am coming back, and back ... cannot get enough of this amazing performance ... and also what a piece crazy, soft, heavy, raw, mild everything is there like in life
After the deep breath, i was like "alright, whatchu got?" Then, you started playing. And, i was like"oh damn!!" I love intense musicians! Great playing, man! Liked👍
I'm stuck on bachs first cello suite and this guy. Holy heck he is amazing
This man is gorgeous *.*
Wow o.o he's moving so fast, I'm afraid his cello will catch on fire
This shit already is on fire
A string: "my time has come"
I will say I’ve watched this video at least 20 times within the past 5 years. I just keep coming back to it somehow
Haha was not expecting to see my comment again so soon
In 6th grade I remember watching this thinking “I wanna do that.” Right now, I’m thinking “I wanna write a piece like that.”
This man's super power would be playing the cello, so talented..
I didn't know the piece i was like "let's check this"
Then i didn't breathe for 9 minutes
This video inspired me a year ago to practice as hard as I can! It really paid off for 8 months but eventually I went back into a slump of not wanting to play anymore. After coming back to this video, I feel inspired all over again. Thank you for motivating me!
This is the closest thing you can possibly get to a classical version of "eruption" by van halen. But even so, it sounds like that with a bit of bluegrass and regular classical.
There's that one part that reminds me of ACDC's Thunderstruck
Sorry. ERUPTION BY ELP TARKUS
Except eruption is easier
I"ve worked on both. I'm a better cellist than guitarist. Eruption I learned in an afternoon. I'm still hammering out the first movement of this and I had a quarantine on my side. This has Dvorak and Tchaikovski technically.
@@jasoncharboneau4117 Shostakovich and Prokofiev makes the Dvorak seem like child’s play. Give them a listen🙂
What in the fuck. I didn't know such things existed in the world. I just wet myself.
welcome to Zentropa
look at the amount of sweat on his cello as he finishes the song. it's like he sold a piece of his soul to be able to play this, I'm haunted and awed
Absolutely breathtaking. I haven't heard an interpretation of these piece that I've enjoyed other than Starker's of course. But this is amazing.
Man, You're amazing. What a technique and emotions..! I'm overwhelmed everytime I'm watching that video 😵😵
I clicked on this to listen to as I study. Forget the studying, I can't stop watching this...
Omg!!!! That was incredible!! So many different techniques packed into one song. Awesome job!!
My life is studies, track, and cello. Watching this man's dedication made me question two out of the three. Also, shout out to the recording, mixing, video graphing, and editing team. You all did a magnificent job making concert hall material digitally available, and unbelievable.
As of today (Jan 1st, 2018), the sheet music for this is now in the public domain in Canada. :) Early editions were from before 1923, so they're public domain in the U.S., too. Still 20 years before it's public domain in the E.U., though.
this is passion, man! excellent.
WHY IS THIS NOT MORE PUBLICIZED!! THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF THE MOST ASTOUNDING PERFORMANCES I’VE EVER SEEN! It was amazing, but you shouldn’t be in a recording studio. You should be in a great hall performing for a huge live audience. This was amazing and I respect the amount of effort you put into this piece. Amazing.
yeah... i'm getting a cello now...
It takes a strong mind to not get intimidated by this piece. How's the cello going five years later?

God, you're a great talented artist man. excellent job, thanks.
One of the most metal compositions ever
some parts sound like ACDC thunderstruck
watched this again after a year or so. It is truly one of the most amazing things i have ever seen. This is PURE talent....I could watch and listen to this guy for hours and hours. AWESOME.
this is one of the most incredible cello pieces i have ever heard i don't know how anyone can be that talented, i hope you get noticed if you haven't already :)
Meanwhile I'm strugling with Suzuki Cello Vol. 2 gosh you're beyond my senior in this Cello thing.
Inocêncio Francisco just wait for Suzuki cello volume 3 humorusce
@@suttondersch1063 is that the song with the dotted quarter note sixteenth note pattern that's played really high that I hear so much about?
@@suttondersch1063 it's really not that hard to be fair
Rabies I’m actually on book 6 now
@@suttondersch1063 how long have u been playing?
The last minute or two are so full of juice and the last few measures are just insane!!
Kodaly was a dear friend of bartok , they travelled around the cities and villages in hungary and collect old folk melodies, you can simply hear the reflection in all of his pieces :)
It's funny because as a person who has a brother who listens to metal, this is frankly the most metal thing I've ever heard.
Great job with this Kodály sonata. It's interesting that he taught himself the cello.
Kodaly or baverstam?
throws energy around like a ball. Incredible!!
Spectacular performance. We must also recognize the brilliance of Kodaly. Imagine being able to write this.
Amazing!!! One of my favorites cello sonatas. Wonderfully played!
Please go to Tchaikowsky competition, never heard this piece like this !!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats ! I loved your energy to play this (very) hard piece for solo cello.
0:15 you can clearly see that cello is scared as ****.
You can also see the cello has been beaten up.
I know nothing about the cello. Never aware when I had heard one . This made me love the cello. So crazy bad ass.
🤘🏼😑
So intense... I am exhausted 💘
As an intermediate cellist myself, this performance is absolutely astonishing.
This was 9 years ago. Imagine which level he reached now.
my jaw dropped
Wow. Absolutely stunning - performance and composition. Bravo.
The body and the cello: complete fusion. ;-)
A brilliant and emotional performance! Highest praise for this cellist!
That was amazing, thanks for the upload!
I am a complete cello nerd, and hearing this song... there are so many sounds I never even knew a cello could make. It's like discovering an entirely new instrument.
Piece*
@@hehehowjhdhjw-uz5fccome on lol
absurdly amazing!! 😀
Finally got to listen to this with my new M1060 headphones and it made me get "something stuck in my eye". Fantastic song played by an amazing performer in a wonderful studio....Thank you!
I bow to this enthusiasm to play this music! Just awesome...
That was amazing. I love watching talent like this expressed with such precision and emotion
The beginning of this movement sounds like heavy metal concert! Sounds so cool.
Amazing technique and articulation, its excellent work
This is pure gold ! Speechless !
So great!
This actually gives me a stroke hearing this. In addition to the different string tuning, HOOOOWWW!!!!!! God's blessed this man with holy power or something. That plus 100000 hours of practice of course ;)
He practiced 40 hours a day with ling ling
@@nathanrock9269 Lame, I do 44 per day
@@mason11198 wait ….what are the chances that we met again in a Shostakovich cello concerto video :0
@@nathanrock9269 :o
Well, I find I see many familiar faces in comments section for music. One person called me the Justin Y of tuba lmao
@@mason11198 lmao yeah :)
Bravo your performance was a work of art itself worthy of this incredible composition
Truly amazing!
no me canso de ver este video buenísimo.. toca excelente
GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
absolutely amazing!
Bravo fantastique! Merci
Is this a speed test for cellists now?
the real speedtest is mov. 2 of prokofiev's sinfonia concertante
Breaking news: Usain Bolt runs slower than cello
No, the tempo of this piece is shown as the quarters as 160, so you have to play it as fast as this. But normally it‘s very hard to play it so beautiful and fast.
More the Elfentanz from Popper
Rishi Puri Omg soo true
Very nice, thanks.
This is so clean! Amazing
You left me breathless...
This is now my favorite performance of this piece! so technical and emotional!
1:14 love the plucking and chords
This is perfect writing music for what I'm working on :D thanks so much for sharing your amazing playing!
two years later, and still amazed!
GLORIOUS!!
At first I thought: man, the guy is crazy, trying to play it THAT fast.
But it made sense, totally. As if it revealed the true nature of this movement more than ever. Congratulations, thousands of!
I know it’s almost as if this is actually what kodaly had in mind when really it’s not - power of interpretation is beautiful
better than Starker's interpretation
@@narpouo Thanks: you reminded me that the first time I heard this piece, it was played by Starker, live, in Curitiba, Brazil. But I was too young to know what a privilege I was having!
@@narpouo like look i respect starker’s version but it’s just so pretentious and boring to me
@@narpouo Absolutely not!
ok what the actual hell did I just watch?? I'm ... it's.. I'm speechless
well done really - we need to meet!
This is really rather good. Had shivers up and down my spine.
Mind-blasting!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AMAZING!!!

Cette prestation m'a mis dans tous mes états, je n'ai pas ressenti ça souvent, merci, bravo
