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!
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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 admire your dedication. About A.M. Bach's manuscript, I have some hypotheses. - She had tend to write slurs short for fear of making mistakes. - However, the beginnings of the slurs are normallry correct. - After Her copied it, Bach checked the contents. Dots are written where there are mistakes.
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.
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! ❤👏🎶
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.
🌈🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶 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! 🎶🎶👏🏻👏🏻
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.
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
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.
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
I like her, she seems to be a very kind Cellist ‼️ Good luck for her 🍀🎻= à la Cello for her, Kind regards from a Classical Tenor Singer-Violist-Singer-Violist-Panpipeflutist-Collègue, from Europe 🇪🇺, Southern 🇩🇪, southern Blackforest, to NYC🌃🌉= à la Brocklynn Bridge, US 🇺🇸 Yours, Josha 🙋♂️
@@Inbalsegevcello Hello Mrs Segev, yes I honestly must say you play sooo wonderful ‼️🎻=à la Cello for you 😊❤️🧡 I really want to buy next day a CD of you! Just as a préfère: do you know the German Cellist:" Anja Thauer", I am an adorer of her, certainly nowadays "Isserlis, the Chique German Canadian Cellist Collègue Johannes Moser," are also phantastique! AND no question ar all, "The great Jacqueline du Pré", magnificent‼️‼️‼️🎊 Who sadly died way too early, the same as "Anja Thauer" did, by her was not health,illness, by her: she was deeply truely in love to an older Docteur Man in Wiesbaden, who was marrié and had children, and of the love, she suicicide herself! A few days later, her love the Docteur Man, also must say, the poor wife of the Docteur, got widdow and also especially their both children!!! Very tragic!!!🕯😥🙏 Was in the 1970's , she would be now so old like our Mother 80 years old. But there exists a few Recordings of her on TH-cam, if you might be interessted. I studied first Viola, I wanted to become a "Third Violonist 🙃🫠😋" , "BUT NO VIOLA JOKES PLEASE ‼️🤪🎊", but I also took Voix lessons, and everyone said, I should become an Opera Tenor, "SO PLEASE NO 2ND JOKES OF TENOR JOKES 🙃🫠🤪😅," I know I live Double in danger‼️‼️‼️ it is how it is for me 🤷😊, in the first years I had complexes, but now, over the years I personally do not care what the people think of me, or saying behind my back. I started Panpipeflute ,I am not quite sure if is correct said, it is the flûte of "Peter Pan":, or is it "Panflute"?😬, there I started ar Lockdown I, and I was from 2008 until Corona Hype Highlife Bull Shit started, March 2020 an Opera-Tenor on Stages in 🇪🇺🇩🇪, I quitte Viola from 2005 until Lockdown I ,I started again 2020, as well and started again, and was suprided, and astounded, that "Stamitz, Shostakovich Viola Sonata, and even some mini Parts of Alfred Schnittke Viola Concerto " worked out after soooo many years!!! So I do Classical Songs like "Italian Arie Antiche Arias,as well Schubert Brahms Schumann-Lieder, in a combination of originally Singing and Viola". But I also do own Compositions, like Modern with Voix Viola and Panflute, that is what I am doing. Dear Mrs Segev, I wish you all the best to you and maybe you might come to a Concert to 🇪🇺,or 🇩🇪, 🇨🇭, we live in Black Forest Region, so 🇲🇫 and 🇨🇭not far away! Maybein Freiburg im Breisgau? Would be wonderful, Again all the best to you 🍀🍀🍀🎻= à la Cello for you 🎶 Kind regards from the Classical Tenor Singer-Violist-Panpipeflutist-Collègue from 🇪🇺 🇩🇪 Black Forest, Yours, Josha 🙋♂️
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
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.
Je crois que ce n'est pas le défi du mont Everest mais plutôt celui du Jardin de Gethsemani. Mateo 26:38-39 Alors Jésus leur dit: Mon âme est très triste jusqu'à la mort; reste ici et regarde avec moi. S'avançant un peu, il tomba la face contre terre, priant et disant: Mon Père, s'il est possible, que cette coupe s'éloigne de moi; mais pas comme je veux, mais comme tu veux. Je suppose qu'il pleurait comme maintenant je pleure en écrivant ces lignes aussi de la même manière que Paco de Lucia a pleuré lorsqu'il a raconté à son intervieweur, sans les larmes aux yeux: Je ne veux jouer d'aucune guitare, la guitare est très difficile, c'est beaucoup d'effort, hein, quand j'ai fini de jouer, ça fait mal même au palais, tout me fait mal, la guitare est très compliquée, hein, j'adore ça, hein , moi, c'est ma passion, mais en même temps c'est ce qui me tue, beaucoup de responsabilités, il faut toujours être brillant, et bon, c'est très difficile à supporter. Paco parle d'effort physique, vous parlez de pression psychologique. Inbal tu es très fort, es la force, la prunelle des yeux de Dieu, mon inspiration pour continuer à écrire mes textes, j'aime aussi Bach depuis la première fois, à l'âge de vingt et un ans, quand j'ai entendu sa Chaconne sortir des haut-parleurs de mon lecteur CD dont lequel lisais l'album que j'avais demandé dans un cybercafé pour qu'ils me brûlent et en écoutant sa musique, j'étais ravi de voir mes organes vibrer. Comme le disait Ségovie à propos de l'interprétation, c'est comme lorsque Jésus, devant le tombeau, appela Lazare et lui dit avec puissance et amour: Lève-toi et marche. Vous donnez ainsi une vie merveilleuse aux belles suites de Bach.
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!

About A.M. Bach's manuscript, I have some hypotheses.
- She had tend to write slurs short for fear of making mistakes.
- However, the beginnings of the slurs are normallry correct.
- After Her copied it, Bach checked the contents. Dots are written where there are mistakes.

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 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much for this. The ups and downs, honesty and love put into this recording show. Sounds beautiful.
Absolutely love this! This is so honest and I very much appreciate a look into what it's like to be a professional musician.

This is it!
wow beautiful sound...
btw was that recorded with midside only with no room mic?
😍
My Cello is a 5 String Acoustic-Electric
liked the luthier visit. cello sounds better without the fake reverb imo.
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
She is left handed!!!

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".

Marie Inaebnit kinda same it’s way way overplayed and it’s a shame
pretentious
