Inbal Segev and the Bach Cello Suites - Documentary

- Nick Davis Productions' documentary follows Inbal Segev’s journey recording Bach's six solo Cello Suites, widely-regarded as the quintessential body of work for the classical cello - from readying her cello at an upstate New York luthier, through an emotional and exhausting period of study and rehearsal, and finally into the recording studio.
Inbal recorded the Cello Suites over a period of six months at the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York City, working with Grammy-winning producer Da-Hong Seetoo. Since its release on Vox Classics in September, The New York Times has called Inbal's performance "deft and thoughtful." The Buffalo News writes, "Her performances are warm, strong and fluid."

What a delight to have such a transparent snippet into the world of world class cello. Thank you for sharing your journey as it also inspires me along my pedestrian cello path!
GuitarStudent Bob yeah, this is a pretty accurate documentary of the life of a professional classical musician 😁
Prelude to Cello Suite No. 1 is one of my favorite pieces of music and I've yet to find a rendition I like more than your Inbal. To my ear, too many performers seem to rush the piece. Your rendition feels more emotive and soulful. I've heard a lot of performers tackle this piece and I honestly can't imagine any other rendition moving me as much as yours has.
Words fail me ... would have to resort to music. Thank you for your dedication to beauty and sharing your story with us.
Thank you very much Inbal for allowing us this honest peek into your life. It was incredibly genuine and heartfelt, and I, and i'm sure many others, really appreciate it. You're incredibly talented, and I respect the fucking shit out of you for picking yourself back up like you did. We all have vulnerable moments of growth like the one shown here, And I feel its extremely important to not hide them as you have here.
Thank you and I hope you are well.
You're such an inviting person; It's like you truly want to share what you feel from the music. And you have such a contagious smile. Rock on Inbal!
Its a hard job to travel back 300 years in time, but i firmly believe that, If Bach should choose a cellist to play his suites, you would be his favorite cellist. Congratulations, Inbal, this video is a brave, sincere and beautiful view of you.
To your husband, on the terrace: "Bach is hard, Man." I was so happy to hear you say that because if its hard for you, for the rest of us mere mortals the Suites are insurmountable. Especially for me, as I'm now 66 (the fingers have lost the dexterity of youth) and back to my instrument (7 yrs ago) after a hiatus of more than 30 years (career, marriage, children intervened). I enjoyed this documentary very much. Thank you.
I started playing the cello at age 67 as a means of keeping my mind working after retiring from a 30 year career as a Registered Nurse. I am 69 now and am working on some of the Bach suites - to hear your input regarding these miraculous works is just a joy!
You are astonishingly talented and humble and I thank you for sharing your video.
Hope your still playing
@@protect_provide8031 Unfortunately, as I near 70 my hands have become arthritic. So I play much less now. Only 30 minutes at a time. I'm trying to convince my doctor to give me steroid injections. He needs more convincing. Thanks for getting in touch.
I have listened to many other famous artists play this ...
To me you are the VERY BEST!
You and your cello touch my heart and soul with this suite...
G-d Bless you and keep you, always!
You matter...
Thank you very much!
Loved your very personal documentary. Saw it at a perfect time with my daughter struggling through her audition video of the first Suite. I can't wait to show her that even the very best have issues that they can overcome and be successful. Thank you.
This was an excellent and heartfelt documentary. I love your playing. thanks so much!
Inbal is an excellent cellist. I really understand the tensions that affect one when faced with a do or die situation in the recording studio. Musicians need to feel free in body and mind to let the music just flow through the body and out through the instrument. A cluttered mind or tight body wrecks it. When I am playing badly I just stop, when I am playing well I want to go on for ever.
Beautiful woman. Beautiful cello. Beautiful rendition.
nothing like the Bach cello suites, enjoyed this a lot, thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing! You’re a beautiful human being and a gift to our world. I will buy the album asap
Wonderful treat to watch. Thank you, Inbal for all your hard work and dedication.
Thank you so much for this. The ups and downs, honesty and love put into this recording show. Sounds beautiful.
I have been gratefully following and learning from you for several years now and just came across this documentary that traces your path to recording the suites. It brought me/us to a new level of understanding both of the music and your life. I appreciated the naked honesty that this video captured - the apprehension, joy, sorrow, not to mention the juggling of being a mother and a professional musician - all of it. Thank you for giving those of us who love the instrument as you do a small window into your journey.
I really enjoyed this film. Thank you for the peek behind the scenes!
Great documentary! Thanks for allowing us some extra insight. Her talent is endless, and her emotion is tied to her music, it shows from this. Thank you Inbal, for all you do. You make the world a better place.
I have watched this many times. I simply love it!
Oh! So nice Mrs. Segev all that sounds present during this very good and enjoyable documentary.
Absolutely love this! This is so honest and I very much appreciate a look into what it's like to be a professional musician.
Such a great documentary. Thank you so much Inbal :-)
Your honest and true-to-yourself nature are what make you such a beautiful artist, always in constant evolution. Making decisions about performance style can be excruciatingly painful, as many styles are valid but not necessarily reflect what we should be doing at a given moment, I guess. I can only imagine such a journey, and I am so grateful that you shared yours with us! And the result was beautiful, your Bach Suites are still my favorite of all times! ❤👏🎶
A really good film, thank you. I love your recording of the cello suites - I've collected and listened to a lot and love this one. Your tone and the quality of the recording are especially good.
Just wanted to say you have my favorite bach cello suites recording
Obrigado por esse documentário fantástico!!!!
Such honesty...i admire you
🌈🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 it is soooo sad to see a fellow cellist crying because of the unbearable stress… I wish you all the best! Many more concerts and recordings! 🎶🎶👏🏻👏🏻
Great video! I can imagine how much time and effort went into it! thanks for sharing
AuthenticSound thank you Wim! Yes, it took a year but I outsourced my team, where it seems that you do it all by yourself with the help of your wife. My “musings” are more similar to what you do.
There's also Larsen Il Canonne strings which you can use to play Paganini on the Cello.
I h no idea how yo do what yo do,it transforms me, thank You!
Lovely documentary !!!❤🌹🌺🍁🎶🎻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent
Perfect!!
I’ve really only started cello when I turned 65. I decided to work on my brain and at the same time full fill a lifetime love for the Cello.
I play and practice for the Cello. To make her happy by being in tune with good intentions. I hold her and keep her clean and happy.
I try to keep clear of performing. I’ve done this my whole life in someway shape or form. It is between me and the Cello, and we get along very well.
Thanks for sharing your story, Randy and I agree it’s never too late to start playing the cello and you don’t have to perform in order to enjoy it.
That you replied makes you an amazing wonderful person who is an inspiration all us budding Cellists 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wonderful film, Imbal and a wonderful played Bach! Warm greetings from Vienna!
Hi Michael, long time... I hope all is well. I was wondering if you can give me your e-mail address, I had a question regarding our old teacher Uzi. Toda and Shana Tova! My e-mail: Inbalsegev3@gmail.com
Great INBAL!
chora nao meu anjo
In bal, you are a star in my book.
Luv you! Blue Dave
This is it!
Beautiful! I am loving your album. This is a random question, but what cello case do you use?
Wow Beautiful video ,I love yours videos it's amazing .My name Alex Mendes and I Play the cello .
wow beautiful sound...
btw was that recorded with midside only with no room mic?
😍
The sound post adjustment is actually quite crucial to the cellos ability to produce its intended sound and projection in all registers. Too tight is never good. I've had numerous clientele come in for sound post adjustments and their thrilled with the sometimes dramatic change. Always pleasing to them & me. StringDokter
Hi Inbal, I am a south African cellist, can you please give some advice to us aspiring cellist on how prepare for competitions. Thanks
Chris Njapha hi, preparing for competitions is no different than preparing for concerts, except that you have more repertoire to get ready at the same time. Be sure you dedicate enough time to every piece on a weekly rotation, so that every week you should be practicing each work in the repertoire at least once. Focusing more on each respective round’s rep as the date gets closer. Competitions are a great way to push ourselves to be the best we can, but one has to also realize that you can’t measure music the way you measure sports and so at a certain level winning or “loosing” is not a sure predictor for anything. Good luck and I hope this helps. I
Inbal Segev thanks Inbal
My Cello is a 5 String Acoustic-Electric
liked the luthier visit. cello sounds better without the fake reverb imo.
She is left handed!!!
SHE is really amazing, one of the best Israeli Jewish cellist, adore YOU Inbal !
Arguably the finest cellist living today, although I'm not sure what her being born in Israel has to do with that, since she has lived in New York since she was sixteen, and is an American citizen.
You should hook up with Joe Bonamassa, not as dif as you first may think, makes crazy sense to me, I look forward
Being a cellist is amazing, for sure, however, the Prelude of the 1st Bach's Suites always make me want to kill somebody. I hate listening to it, and playing it, oh boy!
Marie Inaebnit kinda same it’s way way overplayed and it’s a shame
Should not have talked about the cello's prize, could inspire wrong people's notice....
Love this but do not approve of ""have to conquer the Bach Cello Suites" . THis music is to be played ,not "conquered".
pretentious
Only an imbecile would make such a statement. Surprised that you could even spell it.
