That's my great grandfather on the piano. The Jota is one of my favorite pieces recently, and it's such a treat to hear it played here. Thanks for sharing!
@@tedpiano I played in a gala performance of multiple cellos, with Daniel as concertmaster, at the 92nd Street Y, under Rostropovich’s direction. This was in 1982 I think. Beautiful cellist, wonderful person!
Thank you very much for posting this video. I really enjoyed hearing Feuermann's playing. And, what a surprise to hear that the pianist was Theodore Saidenberg. I worked with him in New York City in the late 70s. He was the conductor of the Broadway production of "My Fair Lady".
Theodore Saidenberg is my Great Grandfather. Greatly appreciated your post as I am currently trying to research more into his life and outstanding repertoire. As a young and passionate classical pianist myself, I would like to learn and eventually put together a program consisting of his wide repertoire. Would you happen to know where I might be able to find additional content (recordings/video/discography/citations etc.) of his that may not be available on TH-cam? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
The best cellist ever, whose life was cut short in what would have been the middle of an outstanding career. It is worth listening to the entire clip to hear the immense versatility of this selfless magical musician, moving from Chopin to de Falla! I wish the blunt, unimaginative American host hadn't spoiled this recording.
Undeniable one of the greatest(if not the greatest) technically and his sound very beautiful. What do you miss then, maybe the heart of someone like Fournier( my taste)
I've given up trying to identify "my favorite cellist." I've gone through my Starker phase, my Fournier phase, and others.... Now I'm just grateful that their playing has survived, thanks to modern recording technology.
David Steven Tabbat what would you say about playing of my friend? Andrey’s ideal is Fournier, but Andrey himself is different th-cam.com/video/ChO-8T-P1QE/w-d-xo.html
If you love this fantastic cellist master, get the bio by Annette Moreau 2002 -It almost painfully detailed. The ease of technical virtuosity is revealed over and over by the greats. He came to USA same year as Heifetz, and other giants. We found EF and Primrose? on youtube playing the Eyeglasses.
@@spatslondon3888 You said it!!!! We lost the greatest cellist ever....Miller told me many very amusing stories about EF as he know him well. He was quite a character.
So smoothly and effortlessly. He is the Heifitz of the cello
Interesting, as soon as I started to play this I thought there's something like Heifetz. Heifetz liked him and called him "my fireman".

Was he any relation to the cellist Daniel Saidenberg?
@@mylesjordan9970 Yes, they were brothers, so Daniel Saidenberg would be my great uncle

Rare and precious history! Timeless Treasure! Thank you!

For me EF is as great an all around cellist as I know.
IMO for sheer beauty of tone the crown goes to Gregor Piatigorsky.

Sehr wertvolle Aufnahme !!
This is a first: a picture of a cellist with a cigarette in his mouth! -doesn´t seem to hurt the playing...
artielon Not so unusual in the past...Casals was smoking a pipe on many photographs, even while playing with an orchestra.
he has no equal
The Chopin “E-Flatter”
please what does feuermann say in 4:22 on? what is more beautiful and not "american"???
My gradfather's first cousin. I wish some of his musical ability came to my side of the family.
Love the cigarette. Epic nonchalance!
No wonder why Gendron was influenced by Feuermann.
My grandfather's first cousin. I wish some of his musical ability came to my side of the family.
Likewise, the pianist is my Great Grandfather. Small world, huh!
He must have been a chain smoker. He died in his 30s. Surely there's a connection, despite that operation. One of the greats, though.
He didn't die because of smoking, though.
He died from a BOTCHED operation for his hemorrhoids.
My teacher, Frank Miller played at EF's funeral and told me that fact.
@@stevenj9970 How dreadful and unnecessary.
@@spatslondon3888 You said it!!!! We lost the greatest cellist ever....Miller told me many very amusing stories about EF as he know him well. He was quite a character.
He died while his hemorrhoids were being surgically removed!!!!! HOW SAD!!!!
Men of the good old times were real Men, looked, talked and acted like real men. (And women were much more feminine than today)
