"I never play for musical connoisseurs because they don't need me. They can appreciate music just by looking at the score. I play for the people who may be listening to a piece for the first time in their lives and I try to express as much as I can and as strongly as I can in an effort to help them appreciate at least a large part of the piece." - Mischa Maisky
This music is therapic... It takes you to deepest, most hidden memories and wounds your heart deeply with all your forgotten desires and hopes. It opens your heart and makes it bleed. Truly and unreservedly.
Whether Mischa is playing this too slowly or not is only of insignificant importance. The fact that he is getting the point of the Allemande across is more important. It would be dreadful if the Allemande were both slow and chugging along, like a clock that takes 3 minutes to get past 60 seconds. With that said, Mr. Maisky's phrasing is wonderful and he never loses direction. It is a work of beauty.
I love how he takes the time to play this wonderful piece, it gives me the pleasure of taking the time to listen to this wonderful music, and the delicate, simple, mastered notes allows me to bask in thoughts such as beauty, sadness, tranquility, love, passion, and life's simple joy. if only music stayed this way, life would be a whole lot different...
snob: oh my this is so beautiful.. one of the most beautiful i've ever heard from any instrument. bravo maestro maisky, you are the greatest! (upon learning score says Allemande) snob: I CHANGE MY MIND, THIS IS TERRIBLE, TOTALLY RUINS THE BAROQUE STYLE. NONE OF THE ALLEMANDE ARE PLAYED THIS SLOWLY. I TAKE BACK MY EMOTION. note to snob: relax.. just enjoy the music, okay?
I don't think this molto adagio tempo is out of bounds. The score is enormous for an allemande, and playing it this way contrasts with the preceding and proceeding movements perfectly.
I think this is the most difficult part of Cello suite N6. Interestingly all of the ornaments are noted which is not usual in in this time. This rendition is so moving! This music is comes from the deepness of soul.
I'd been wondering whether the tempo in my TH-cam post of this Allemande isn't a little too slow. So I've just listened to Starker's version on TH-cam; and it's no faster than mine. And now I'm listening to Maisky's version, and guess what? His tempo is even slower than both mine and Starker's. So if I take it overly slow, I can at least say that I'm in good company.
@3:18 probably the best chord in this song, so rich and melodic and it fits right into this beautiful piece and just lifts your spirit and places it into a realm of perfection, somethin on Mischa could acheive
The chord you marked appears at the repeat of the 'a' part of the movement which is in aabb form. Therefore the same chord appears in the first time played 'a' as well, precisely @00:43. I also love that chord. It is so rich in timbre. Here second b is cut although it was video recorded as well. With it, the entire movement clock a stunning 13 minutes!
@Violinater yes he surtanly is a genius, but I must say my musician 'préféré' is Beethoven. Bach is soothing, Beethoven has more emotions involved. And that's what I like about his (beethoven's) music. Never the less, Bach is a master of music, and kicks the assess of all 'modern' music! truly timeless...
I don’t like the discussion about playing pieces how they were supposedly played in style at the time … I’d like to think to please the composer and make him like the way I play his or her piece, which can be different to historical performance practice, but who says, that another way would make the composer unhappy? Although I would play it differently, I really respect this interpretation of Maisky!
imagine walking on a street with some natural expressions. it has nothing to do with this guy playing cello but god dammit, this has nothing to do with this guy being the best one in almost whole world.... idk....
è davvero bellissima, lui è un grande, ma cazzo ti fa arrivare le note dentro, non sembra che le suoni ma che te le ficchi direttamente nell'anima.. questo brano poi è favoloso.. mi ricorda troppo neon genesis evangelion, laddove ho sentito il preludio al primo movimento per la prima volta...

Dude, I bet that room has the best acoustics. Imagine being in the room while he played these. Must have been incredble.

its sad that music like this isn't seen or made as much as it used to be. Almost as if the true meaning of music is being lost.
Best Allemande recording I've found. Bravo!!

Now all i need is an amazing landscape to enjoy along with this amazing music
I love this piece played at a leisurely pace...

I love this!
I could listen to this for hours on end.

this and chaconne are my fav bach pieces
wow. this is absolutly amazing! i love it. amazing sound and tone
The cello really is the most distinguished of all instruments.
Absolutely breathtaking....:)

@vladpiranha Couldn't agree more mate. It's rich sound send chills down my back
i agree, it's how he conceived the music!
Very good!
♥ ♥Extremely calming ♥ ♥ ♥
practise practise practise practise practise practise practise practise practise practise and only practise !!
Oh God messer Maisky
holy crap this makes me sad i love this guy he is the most legendary epicest awesmest man known to cello
ps cello owns i play it
how can a video like this have a dislike button??
I've been experimenting with different bowholds. I'm so amazed at the sound being produced with his bowhold.
@XxXGetLuckyXxX Wow that was amazing.

@DiscoveredMusic there are no 128th notes it only gets to 64 th notes.
imagine walking on a street with some natural expressions. it has nothing to do with this guy playing cello but god dammit, this has nothing to do with this guy being the best one in almost whole world.... idk....
No sabía que Loulogio tocara tan bien el chelo. Menuda obra de arte.
What is that called at 0:44 when two notes are played? I don't remember...
Seems a bit late to be answering this... but they're called double-stops. It's when two notes are played at the same time.

Doublearejazz doesn't get it. But thats fine!! Many don't.
Good thing this is rubato. 128th notes are death.
practice*. Sorry, I am a grammar freak!
@mousa23abuissa Perhaps he was largely in the right brain, and thus not thinking
ich auch..nyahahaha
I love Mischa, but gosh his bow grip looks awfully uncomfortable.
i didnt know semen can burst through ear canals!
