Jian Wang is under rated artist. He is the one of the best cello players in his generation in my opinion. He plays is with soul, color and emotion and absolutely beautiful.
underrated YES, but still represented by Askonas Holt like Yoyo Ma... so can't be too unknown? Agreed he has soul and emotion!! BUT I can't believe the poor quality of the camera angles and lack of direction, and this is a French production!
Some fine chamber music going on here and clearly all the players are enjoying themselves......flutes are allowed to flutter about like butterflies.....great performance
I admire this guy. He is an artist free of typical cliche playing. He is his own voice, very earnest, true to himself, somebody with the artistic integrity of a Rostropovich. It sounds like a musician who grew up in the rustic countryside.
Jian Wang was a child prodigy discovered by Issac Stern during his tour of China in 1979. From that trip Stern made the documentary From Mao to Mozart. Wang toured the U.S. with the Shanghai Conservatory at age 12. Now he performs world-wide. Videos of him playing are available here on TH-cam.
I believe that he is playing on a Stradiivirus on loan from a wealthy Chinese. Incredible sound produced by a great cellist. He also does an excellent rendidtion of the Elgar Cello Concerto. Discovered by Issac Stern in China and studied cello at the Juilliard School and Yale University.
@@aristideduplessis8151 I know that he has a cello made in the twentieth century and it produces great sound. Thanks for telling me as I am not a musician and you are a cellist. Best wishes to you.
LittleHarryBrother1 I think I typed the wrong Chinese name should be 二泉映月 (The Reflection of the moon, this is what google can translated and it probably OK to use). The name can be roughly translated into "The moonlight reflected in spring fountain". Here.is the details, the first 2 characters in Chinese means a natural spring named "The second best spring in the world", it is a bit tricky name as it was NOT named as "The first" or "The best". The third word means "reflect". The last character is moon. So you can see the translation gives a quite different meaning. But the main theme is probably OK if you just use The reflection of the moon. There is a long and sad story about this piece (from how it was recorded and named etc, as it was played by a poor street musician and he died after recording was done shortly in 1950s). I am not sure why there is no wiki page in English for this work, although there is a Chinese and Japanese page. Try French fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erquan_Yingyue It explains something anyway.
Wow +JIMMYLIU5, thank's for your answer!! :D My French is not so good but I'll try google translate :P I found a english page for Abing when I started looking as well en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abing So there is a recording with the street musician, how cool! Do you know if it is available somewhere? Best wishes Harry
@@blueredsam Three years later you responded, and three years later I want to thank you for your answer! I never received a notification from TH-cam about this. Funny coincidence that I decided to listen to this video for the first time since I posted my comment. Now I can finally look up that piece! All the best ^_^

A lovely rhythmic clapping greeting for a lovely gentleman and cellist !
I dare to state that he is the greatest live cellist today!

王健是大提琴家行列里的超级大师，他能捕捉到音乐中鲜为人知的核心表达内容，属于纯音乐精英派。与YoYo-Ma的风格完全相反，没有刻意的雕琢、修饰与夸张。把德沃夏克的民族乡愁表达的淋漓尽致，而不是大多数人唯美的表达。那天，我在Marriot酒店前台遇到了一个来自原捷克的前台美女，聊天之中，从她的眼神才突然理解到斯拉夫民族，沃尔塔瓦河畔文化的独特。大师！！！

I just heard him live playing the Dvorak concerto with a fantastic range of colours and nuances. Breathtaking and never sentimental.

It’s wonderful to hear you play, Jian !
Actually Jian Wang has also got an Amati cello produced in 1622!!!
Dvorak is probably my favorite slow movements composer.
Wow! A great performance! I just found him by accident and I am very fond of his tone and skill. A new star in cello. I will follow him now on.
What a wonderful find on YT. I've never heard of him but he is impressive, a true artist. Such warm tones. Truly beautiful playing.
Simply Marvelous
A stunnjng performance.
A truly great cellist!!! The sound coming from his cello is not only beautiful but also unique!!!!
Bravo!
王健老师的演奏深刻震撼！

amati cello actually
In fact this is his modern cello on this perticular recording.

He is not the only well known cellists who use Stradivarius cello. Yo-Yo Ma has one too.
健健 ^^ gotta love the slow parts!!!!!
i love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bravo😍😍😍😍😍

Hey! Listen to the whole piece, man! 😉😉
@@aristideduplessis8151 Haha thanks for leaving this lovely comment! This was used during my presentation so unfortunately..😂
If you just truely understand the classic music, you will know that this guy is absolutely superb, being as good as yo yo Ma if not better!
Yo Yo Ma IMO is overrated, whereas Wang is horrendously underrated, and deserves a bigger platform.
第一次听到二泉映月的大提琴版。😹
💐送给王健！
very good!
amazing performance. May I also add that more soloists should ditch the traditional suit jacket. It restricts your right arm a bit.
toll
First time hear 二泉印月 played with cello from 45:30. Very nice try!
You don't happen to know what this tune is called in english? :)

JIMMYLIU5 How about Reflection of the moon on two ponds?
Sorry, there is no "two" ponds at all:-). The place is called "The second best spring" in Chinese.
The slow moment starts at 13:07 is incredible.
It’s actually not a movement but yes, it’s incredible.
This guy is as good as Yo-Yo Ma. He is very much underrated.
1:00
Does anybody know the title of the encore?
Refection of Moon on the second spring (2nd most famous spring in China)
