15 years ago, I asked an older gentleman at church if he was a musician (takes one to know one) Found out he played cello, had a double major at Juilliard, and spent his career playing in the NY Symphony Ballet Orchestra (I verified it...wow) Then learned he was basically homeless, bi-polar, & 1000 miles from home We became friends and we did what we could for him To show his gratitude, he borrowed a cello from a local music store and walked miles with it to my house He said he wanted to play for us while we had dinner... THIS is the song he played I still can't listen to it or tell the story without at least a few tears Bless your beautiful soul Daven Jenkins, wherever you are my friend
The Cello you see here is over 300 years old. It was built in 1720 by famed Violoncello builder Domenico Montagnana in Venice, Italy. The anonymous previous owner was a fellow Cellist and admirer of Misha. On his deathbed at 94 years of age, he offered it to Mischa for a low symbolic price after being moved to tears by his music. This was in 1973, when Misha was only 25. Since then, he has mainly played this Cello, for 50 years now. Its value is estimated at around 5 million Dollars.
For me, this is STILL the best version. Nuance, style, pace -all just right. That first movement is utterly sublime. Some ‘accomplished’ performers just seem to be in a rush to get to the end.
@@FrankBittom1 Honestly, I’m not that keen. Technically fabulous, of course, but nothing like the expression of this artist (in my opinion; we all have different tastes, which is what makes world go round!)
Getting through the third year after my daughter’s death using music. Laura played cello; she choose it in elementary school because it “spoke to her”. You don’t have to be a musician to understand that. We danced and sang together before she was even born and are doing so even after her death. This is my song of the day for May 28, 2021. Much love. 💕🐝
I am sure all the hearts touched deeply by this beautiful music send love to you....and hope God will continue to heal your broken/hurting heart.... RIP Laura - -your mama still loves you fiercely---and dearly.
My God I am from North Philadelphia ... a very hard neighborhood, when I was a kid I would go to work with my mom who cleaned for a wealthy white Family...I remember the day a friend of their family was playing this... immediately I stop what I was doin to follow this sound ... ever since. I have grew up in the arts threw Theater, Dance and classical piano..... the inspiration of music... even in the wind this song gracefully peeks in the ghetto...
Prettyrickeyfontaine _ im sorry life was so hard for u i can kinda relate having a tough life im almost 21 ive been through alot in life this song could always calm me down and make me very relaxed ^_^

Absolutely without doubt one of the best cellists in the entire world. I've seen so many people, highly esteemed cellist's, play Bachs Suite No 1 and absolutely nobody has come even close to Mischa. This man and his Cello are one!
I come here almost daily. Mischa's interpretation of Bach is full of emotion and I just cant find another version I like after hearing his. Thanks for devoting your life to becoming a true Master of this instrument good sir.
I am in full agreement. I've searched. The timing to this performance is perfect. No one else is even close. It gives me such a depth of emotion that I can't put to words. I suppose that's what the music is for.
This is an earlier recording of 1985, he made another in 1999, very different! Heard him playing in one day all suites, day and evening concert in Toronto. Unforgettable! Go back to his later recording again and again! My favorite recordings by Daniel Shafran and Rostropovich
@@strashuninstitue390 Ive found Mischa to sound almost identical to Pablo Casals' original recording. Thanks for the 1999 tip, I had not heard that one. Did you know Mischa was a student of Rostropovich?

Have watched this video for years and I went to watch this guy last night. It was brilliant! His hair turned completely white now and he played with his daughter piano accompanying. Soooo nice!
What I find absolutely mind boggling aside from the beauty of this piece is that it's the most well known cello piece in modern times yet it had originally been lost for 75 years and may have never been discovered at all...
DK wow, very interesting. I did not know this. So was it not popular in his time? or was it after his death that it got "forgotten" about? or, did time travelers have something to do with this...
SULTANARE mind blowing thought. music is so limitless and I sometimes am saddened to think of all of the songs that exist, and will exist that I will never know....music is like the language of the universe, and it's a universal language...one note goes further, faster than any other art form. there is more information in a series of notes than any sentence that could ever be spoken. they say a picture is worth a thousand words, so how many words is pure vibrational frequency worth...its transcendent, it's beyond words.
@@gman8230 J.S. Bach died in 1750. Most of his music was re-discovered by accident, when they were cleaning out the attic of his son (Johann Christian Bach) after *HIS* death in 1782...
Yes - some of the only truly perfect music ever composed. The unaccompanied cello suites and the violin chaconnes are extraordinary and, as you say, pure gold. Where they arose from within Bach is beyond comprehension.
@@swiftsword6489 Is it not the timing of the rain and music that made this man’s heart move? Or do you take the accordance of time for granted? I don't understand what it is you question.
Made me cry... so beautiful... brings back memories... I played this on my final exam .... I wasn't able to touch my cello ever since my mother died 8 years ago... I can only hope I will be able to play this masterpiece once again in my life.
Your comment made me cry. I too lost my mom and can/do feel how you feel. Remember, life goes on but they are and will always be with us...with how they raised us, how they loved us and how amazing they were. Your mom would have never wanted you to stop playing your cello. Keep your head up high and live life to the fullest. All the best to you stranger.
I am a 12 year old cello player and these are the kind of things that make me want to play and get good so maybe one day I could maybe be this good and actually be good at something. This video is perfect and thanks to everyone who help make it
I was in your shoes once, and I speak only from my experience, but I regret not following through on opportunities and chances when I had the drive and talent. Practice, audition, ask questions, and nevermind seeming ignorant. Go to that school that specialises in the arts, find a mentor, don't give up, find new things to love and learn in the cello, and, in the worst case that occurred to me, if you find yourself with no opportunity or no peers and professors who wish for your advancement, SEEK THEM OUT. Good luck, I wish you the best and hope you see it through!
Although the prelude to this piece is know as "that cello song", this entire performance by Mischa remains one of my favourite string pieces of music. The artist beautifully blends such grace, elegance and power in the same motions and one must respect the years of practice and devotion that have gone into this level of mastery.
I've been playing the Cello for 2 weeks so far and I've decided this is the piece I am aiming for (no matter how long it takes me). I can just about play the first bar, but wow, is it a stunning piece of music.
It is truly beautiful. I've only been playing this amazing instrument since mid-September. I'm in the eighth grade and I feel so inspired by Bach, it's unbelievable! 🎶❤️ I'm struggling to learn vibrato, but I'll get there. I hope. 😂
I'm a violinist of 6 years and I played this after about 2 or so. It's a great piece especially on cello it sounds gorgeous. Good luck. There are difficult techniques to learn but stick with it you'll get there
I've been playing cello a year (I played violin for 5 years then switched) I am using this as my audition piece for the summer orchestra enrichment I do. I absolutely love this piece. You'll be able to play this eventually just work on your technique and then this will come easily. Scales help too. You can get free cello music and stuff at 8notes.org
I've played cello for more than 20 years, and this is a simple piece, compared to other suites. It shouldn't take long before you are able to play it. Keep up the good work ! Cello is one of the most beautiful instruments of the world.
Jean Baptiste Leclercq Yes, I have actually learnt a good piece of this. I started learning it after 2 weeks of using the cello and didn't know the bowing actions and finger positions correctly, but now after around another week I'm really starting to get the hang of it :) Will be going for my grade 1 exam in June
In my opinion, for what it's worth, Maisky remains the one cellist with the most profound understanding - not merely technical but intuitive - of Bach's musical genius since Pablo Casals.
I have to say that Xaver Varnus is quite an outstanding artist who does a great performance of Bach's Toccata on the organ. Check it out if you see this comment. The way he utilizes the acoustics within the cathedral and his timing throughout his performance is rather impeccable.
Mischa Maisky was only 6th prize winner in weak Tchaikovsky competition! No-one liked poor awful Maisky jury and audience! Maisky is only famous but not that good! Crazy world we are living when weak Tchaikovsky competition weak 6th prize winner gets 60 million hits! Mozart wrote do not make my kids average players! Maisky=awful average player!!
fun fact: Mishca is actually a 700 year old vampire and he was trained as a classical musician by Bach himself. after more than 250 years of practice he finally made this video.
This music is so incredible to me because I can put it on and it feels like a complete paradigm shift in my perception of reality. I mean the world looks and feels different to me when I hear it. What I mean is, there came a point when my wife and kids had left, and my house was relatively bare minus beautiful wooden floor boards and a northward sun- facing kitchen. Then you go put this on at a descent volume, either at a point when the sun is glowing off everything mid morning or late at night and its dead quiet, and honestly it feels like a triumphant rebuttal. Its as if to say "my life feels so totally complete when I hear it reveberate across the whole house that if I honestly died in my sleep tonight I don't think that I've missed out, on anything." So you can play this in an empty home where a family used to live, where children ran and fought in the hall and there was a wife you could put your arms around, but now, ten o'clock at night in an empty house; life feels complete. Like you lack, or want nothing. I felt compelled to say this because somewhere, out there in the world there are people who have a profoundly simple appreciation for life and sometimes it hurts to know you'll never meet hardly any of them. So who, or where ever you are, its sad we'll never meet, but at least theirs something we can agree upon. This music is awesome. Its so good to read comments and know so many people feel the same way.
@@saraparker184 Is this guy for real? or any of those comments here> Dont even get me started what I feel and think when music is like this. That guy Bach really rocked. And Mischa is Cello pure.
@@broughttoideas I could answer this 50 different ways, but I more or less gave up trying to make someone happy anymore who made no attempt to do anything to make herself happy or keep herself entertained. As the father of two daughters, I feel as though where I've mostly succeeded as a Dad is producing two young women who are academically and artistically talented, have hobbies are physically active, and are self-aware and emotionally intelligent. If you marry someone who lacks most of these things, but instead relies upon alcohol as a crutch to get through life you'll not only get divorced but end up with kids who dream of the day that they can leave home and move far, far away. If you marry the wrong person, sitting in solitude listening to great music and communicating with people who feel the same way about that music, late at night, will feel like more friendship than the person you were married to for the best part of two decades. I hope you or anybody will pick wisely when it comes to a partner and live a happier life than I ever did. All the best to you, whoever or wherever you are.
¡Sublime! No me canso de escuchar a Mischa. Llevo años poniendo este video al estudiar, leer o simplemente para disfrutar la maravillosa música de Bach a través de las buenas manos de este gran musico.
I have heard so many people play this piece and they all break tempo when they switch to the lower string and this guy does not. He plays this piece amazingly beautifully.
I think because he doesn't move his bow back and forth like the others do, he takes one long sweep of the bow and then tilts it or uses his fingers to generate the notes. It's way smoother and more fluid, his bow is continuously just taking nice, long sweeps.
He's my favourite aswell. The only one who studied cello with Pjatigorskij and Rostropovič. A hell of a legacy, if I may. And it can be clearly heard by how he performs. The best of the best.
@@musicgaines7170 Its meant to be played that way based on the tempo markings, they are everywhere in a more sophisticated piece like this. Its very emotional and captivating when done right, along with annunciation, vibrato, and dynamics. This piece is very captivating.
My 4 year old daughter LOVES to listen to the prelude before going to bed. Its amazing watching her so enamored with with such a sophisticated piece of classical music thats so, so much older than her.
That's not special at all for a professional clasically trained musician (talking of playing this by heart). Watch Andras Schiff playing 90 minutes of Bach by heart. On the piano (a lot more notes to memorize). That's a lot more difficult.
To me, this was and still is the best performance of the first cello suite that has ever been recorded. I don’t think anyone can or will top it. What an astounding rendition!
A true artist makes it look so easy and effortless. As an amateur musician, I know it's not. Never heard of him before, just love the sound of the cello, but what a master! Looks like he's not even trying. Some players could be all technique and no emotion, but he's got both. The mathematics and the beauty.
First time I heard this was in Strasbourg, France. I was by the church. It was a beautiful fall day and the buildings were so close together that the wind blows around the church. It was warm wind too. The saying there is the Devil is trying to get into the church but he can’t because of how holy the church is. It’s a memory I’ll never forget
You know what's great? Often times these sort of numbers in the millions of views are seen in ridiculous pop music song. But to see such a strong committed community to something real, and something so gorgeous. Like, I feel less alone for being the only one I know personally who listens to Classical regularly.
My father played the cello in symphony orchestra and in later years till his death taught children music 🎶 I grew up with classical music ... it is soul music 🎵 and I thank u for this master piece .... surroundings for the cello piece also so beautiful 😍 , classic
I am listen and listen and listen again during my PhD writing The entire performance of Maisky is marvellous a masterpiece Can't put in words what make me feel SO GRATEFUL
Waaw. Toda una vida. La longevidad de las piezas musicales de antes le dan un cierto aire de vida a la música. Hay una identidad que se viene gestando desde el principio que se vá desarrollando, va cambiando sin dejar de ser siempre una. Es como presenciar la existencia de una especie de ente vivo. Su nacimiento y su muerte. Increible.
Love, joy, happiness, pain, sadness, despair, and overcoming… I can find all of these things in this single-voice piece. It’s like about our lives. Endless gratitude and respect to bach and maisky.
There was a park that I frequented called ‘Places des Vosges’ around Bastille, Paris. A man, in between empty passageways, was playing cello playing Bach, and the sound was just so full and engrossing. Due to acoustics off the dome-type form of the passageway or maybe to his pure talent, I do not know. A man, his cello, this place, late afternoon, scattered Parisian sky, all made one coherent sound. Now that the streets are empty, I imagine that a man, now older, comes back with his cello, just like the old time, and plays just the same, only this time, to himself and God. - nyc, 3/16/2020
Lynn Duvall Definitely a fair point, although I am prepared to believe it was possibly his countenance aside from his hue that may have inspired that comment, however that maybe easier for me due to my colour.
you really can find this by searching “that one cello song” I N T E R E S T I N G Edit: Holy Ling Ling! Thanks for all the likes! Yes, I know it’s a “piece” and not a song sorry bout that lol TWOSET GANG WASSUP!
I've listened to this while studying in HS. Now I'm finishing up my last semester of college and I still come back to listen every now and then, while studying or to just enjoy listening. 🙇♀
Such a tremendous performance. His eyebrows, that move as if he's having a passionate conversation with a lover. His hands, that grip with such control. His neck, that moves in tune with the atmosphere of the music, almost as if he's surprising himself with his own performance... Masterful!
I could only hold on to my tears until 2:30 that movement is so intense, it breaks me in the most wonderful way. This masterpiece is the definition of timeless. Eternal gratitude to JS Bach for sharing his gift with us all. May we never forget.
@@laurawilson8793 Likewise, my heart and mind explode with feeling is the only way I can describe it, and the result is crying like a baby because it's just so.... There isn't a word :-)
Crazy how the Universe works....I'm reading your comment thinking the same exact thing...only to realize we have the same name. Gracias Rodrigo for your thoughts.
How can 873 people dislike this Bach concerto. Alongside Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, was one of the most naturally gifted composers of all time. His compositions are works of a complete Genius, a master of all instruments, its almost divine intervention.
Peter Lewis I think the dislikes are about the style of the performer, not the piece itself. Also, a concerto consists of a soloist and orchestra accompaniment. This is a suite: a collection of pieces that tie together. I do agree that Bach is an amazing composer and I really love listening to it. I'm glad you do too! :)
+Glenn Bolding Maybe, because this people have dis-harmony inside. +Peter Lewis Don't surprise me the 1,000 dislike!!! The bad taste in music it's viral!!! The human it's a beast that forget talk with the gods playing a instrument, or just listen with attention what have to say to us!!!!
+Peter Lewis btw a suite is different from a concerto Also it is spelled Mozart. I also think that Bach was a very hardworking man, actually he said so himself.
well, I doubt many people from the 18th century ever got the chance to hear this song when it was first erected, so consider it a blessing to those that did.
I have troubles sleeping, on the really bad days I put this on with headphones, I'm out before minute 3, not because it's bad, but because it puts me at ease and my brain calms down. Thank you for this
Josh, did you know that Bach wrote the Goldberg Variations to be played for someone who had insomnia? Not to put him to sleep but to enjoy listening to while he was awake.
Every time when I feel stressed and down, I will listen to this one. At the end of this piece, all the problems will be solved. This piece is filled with courage, eternity love, sweet sadness, and hope. I like his interpretation of Bach and way of feeling expression. A wonderful spiritual inspiring performance. Bravo!
I can say that, despite not being a classical music specialist, this is my favorite rendition of the suite. It appealed to me more more than Casals' and Rostropovich's renditions. I don't want to be thought of being disrespectful of those great artists. It's as if it's saying, "My life seems so fully complete when I hear it reverberate throughout the entire home that I don't think I'd miss out on anything if I died in my sleep tonight." So you can play this in an empty house where a family used to live, where children used to run and fight in the hallway and there was a woman you could wrap your arms around, but now it's ten o'clock at night in an empty house, and life seems complete. As though you don't have anything or don't want anything. I felt obligated to express this because there are individuals somewhere in the globe who are suffering.
En mi primera clase de violonchelo mi profesor me tocó la prelude. Desde ese preciso instante supe que estos veinte minutos son mi meta a seguir como violonchelista. Gracias, Mischa Maiski por poner tan alto el listón.
This touches my soul every time. And this is the best version. His touch. His sense Of space. Appreciation for the silence as well as the sound. Grateful for your work sir. 🧚♀️❤️
I understand that. I use this song to help me get through life after my daughter died. She used to play cello. Much love to you and yours, from Laura’s mom 💕🐝💕🇺🇸
His timing is superb. Great interpretation. I wonder if that’s it in fact what Bach had in mind for this piece. This music never ages. It’s forever one of the highest moments of mankind and sound.
There’s an explainer for Oswald Spengler’s “Decline of the West” that’s on here. I forget which one, about 20 to 30 minutes. Either way Spengler talks about how different civilizations are driven by different spirits that affect everything. EVERYTHING. about them. He compared and contrasted Roman and Faustian (post-Roman Western Europe) civilizations and their art. The Romans were an inward looking people. Their art reflected instantaneous snapshots in time in incredible detail. Those statues were their artistic expression, the one they mastered. Since the Romans that art has been imitated and admired but never done in the true earnestness the Romans did. For us, the Faustian West, we chose music. He calls us Faustian because Faust made a pact with the devil for unlimited knowledge. He just HAD to know. Had to expand, to see, to learn. Music fills the silence of the space you’re in, so we were drawn to it. So he says. Either way, nobody else has mastered music like we did. It’s not even close, really.
This is a beautiful piece. Mischa’s level of skill displayed here is amazing. And he has a look about him that seems to say “he’s a serious artist”, I like that look.
Well a spectacular natural reverb for sure, but I bet its because of the frescos and the tile floor, its essentially a super large bathroom as far as acoustics go.
I could listen to this for the rest of my life and not get tired of it. You are a cello master my friend. God bless you for sharing such gorgeous music for us. May you be rewarded for your steadfastness to classical music.
15 years ago, I asked an older gentleman at church if he was a musician (takes one to know one)
Found out he played cello, had a double major at Juilliard, and spent his career playing in the NY Symphony Ballet Orchestra (I verified it...wow)
Then learned he was basically homeless, bi-polar, & 1000 miles from home
We became friends and we did what we could for him
To show his gratitude, he borrowed a cello from a local music store and walked miles with it to my house
He said he wanted to play for us while we had dinner... THIS is the song he played
I still can't listen to it or tell the story without at least a few tears

Yes - some of the only truly perfect music ever composed. The unaccompanied cello suites and the violin chaconnes are extraordinary and, as you say, pure gold. Where they arose from within Bach is beyond comprehension.
You were my beloved composer of chilhood and teenage years, but with time Bach has been the best composer among time.
love it when youtube channels pretend to be famous people lol- or do they?🤔
How u still alive,!?!?!
Thank God for giving me ears to experience such beauty.
That is a profound and beautiful thought. May I quote it with attribution?
Of course
This is a beautiful note
Serious cringe from all of you
Don't thank god, thank Misha
Today I saw a man near the train station playing this piece on a cello. I was standing in the rain and listening to his music. He played so wonderful
lets hope it wasnt one of those fake gypsies lol
I had the same experience in Genova, Italy. I wept.
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now talk about perfect timing
@@Adbee123 ?
@@swiftsword6489 Is it not the timing of the rain and music that made this man’s heart move? Or do you take the accordance of time for granted? I don't understand what it is you question.
Someone finally frees this music from the burden of time. Thank you.
Made me cry... so beautiful... brings back memories... I played this on my final exam .... I wasn't able to touch my cello ever since my mother died 8 years ago... I can only hope I will be able to play this masterpiece once again in my life.
You can! Do it for you, do it in honor of her. It's okay if it makes you feel ♥️
@@annahill7521 Thank you for your kind words! 🙂❤️

Your comment made me cry. I too lost my mom and can/do feel how you feel. Remember, life goes on but they are and will always be with us...with how they raised us, how they loved us and how amazing they were. Your mom would have never wanted you to stop playing your cello. Keep your head up high and live life to the fullest. All the best to you stranger.
You can do it. :) I think you're mom would want you to continue doing what you love

Oh wow that’s too much
wow i did not know that...

damn okay bach
I am a 12 year old cello player and these are the kind of things that make me want to play and get good so maybe one day I could maybe be this good and actually be good at something.
This video is perfect and thanks to everyone who help make it
John Nov224 hey same
Practice,Practice, Practice, Practice: perfection
just practice and practice and then practice a little bit more
and you can be as good as you want
you will be as good as he is, i believe in you!
I was in your shoes once, and I speak only from my experience, but I regret not following through on opportunities and chances when I had the drive and talent.
Practice, audition, ask questions, and nevermind seeming ignorant. Go to that school that specialises in the arts, find a mentor, don't give up, find new things to love and learn in the cello, and, in the worst case that occurred to me, if you find yourself with no opportunity or no peers and professors who wish for your advancement, SEEK THEM OUT. Good luck, I wish you the best and hope you see it through!
Although the prelude to this piece is know as "that cello song", this entire performance by Mischa remains one of my favourite string pieces of music. The artist beautifully blends such grace, elegance and power in the same motions and one must respect the years of practice and devotion that have gone into this level of mastery.

I've been playing the Cello for 2 weeks so far and I've decided this is the piece I am aiming for (no matter how long it takes me). I can just about play the first bar, but wow, is it a stunning piece of music.
It is truly beautiful. I've only been playing this amazing instrument since mid-September. I'm in the eighth grade and I feel so inspired by Bach, it's unbelievable! 🎶❤️ I'm struggling to learn vibrato, but I'll get there. I hope. 😂
I'm a violinist of 6 years and I played this after about 2 or so. It's a great piece especially on cello it sounds gorgeous. Good luck. There are difficult techniques to learn but stick with it you'll get there
I've been playing cello a year (I played violin for 5 years then switched) I am using this as my audition piece for the summer orchestra enrichment I do. I absolutely love this piece. You'll be able to play this eventually just work on your technique and then this will come easily. Scales help too. You can get free cello music and stuff at 8notes.org
I've played cello for more than 20 years, and this is a simple piece, compared to other suites. It shouldn't take long before you are able to play it. Keep up the good work ! Cello is one of the most beautiful instruments of the world.
Jean Baptiste Leclercq Yes, I have actually learnt a good piece of this. I started learning it after 2 weeks of using the cello and didn't know the bowing actions and finger positions correctly, but now after around another week I'm really starting to get the hang of it :) Will be going for my grade 1 exam in June
In my opinion, for what it's worth, Maisky remains the one cellist with the most profound understanding - not merely technical but intuitive - of Bach's musical genius since Pablo Casals.
Well Stated Sir!
@@lucide9577 Thank you!
Luv your comment bout maestro mischa maisky. I agree 😊
I have to say that Xaver Varnus is quite an outstanding artist who does a great performance of Bach's Toccata on the organ. Check it out if you see this comment. The way he utilizes the acoustics within the cathedral and his timing throughout his performance is rather impeccable.
Wonderfull!!!
Almost 60 million views in 12 years. That means 5 millions per year. There's still hope for this world.
Mischa Maisky was only 6th prize winner in weak Tchaikovsky competition! No-one liked poor awful Maisky jury and audience! Maisky is only famous but not that good! Crazy world we are living when weak Tchaikovsky competition weak 6th prize winner gets 60 million hits! Mozart wrote do not make my kids average players! Maisky=awful average player!!
no, because atleast 5 of those are mine over the years :)
Imagine playing cello for 20 minutes straight without making any mistakes
Without looking at the sheet
My arm gonna die just after 5 min of playing cello ;-;

@@blondgingerbeard3952 bitch u really think they edited this
@@irlbocchi It doesn't seem like there's a live audience, so probably.

Wtf hahahahaha
What’s the secret to looking that young? Looks like he’s only in 40s though…
You get the award for "Most Creative Comment" and I love it!!!!!!
Nah, he's older - dated him 347 BC
Love this comment
This music is so incredible to me because I can put it on and it feels like a complete paradigm shift in my perception of reality.
I mean the world looks and feels different to me when I hear it.
What I mean is, there came a point when my wife and kids had left, and my house was relatively bare minus beautiful wooden floor boards and a northward sun- facing kitchen.
Then you go put this on at a descent volume, either at a point when the sun is glowing off everything mid morning or late at night and its dead quiet, and honestly it feels like a triumphant rebuttal.
Its as if to say "my life feels so totally complete when I hear it reveberate across the whole house that if I honestly died in my sleep tonight I don't think that I've missed out, on anything."
So you can play this in an empty home where a family used to live, where children ran and fought in the hall and there was a wife you could put your arms around, but now, ten o'clock at night in an empty house; life feels complete. Like you lack, or want nothing.
I felt compelled to say this because somewhere, out there in the world there are people who have a profoundly simple appreciation for life and sometimes it hurts to know you'll never meet hardly any of them.
So who, or where ever you are, its sad we'll never meet, but at least theirs something we can agree upon.
This music is awesome.
Its so good to read comments and know so many people feel the same way.
❤️
❤️
@@saraparker184 Is this guy for real? or any of those comments here> Dont even get me started what I feel and think when music is like this. That guy Bach really rocked. And Mischa is Cello pure.
What happened to your wife
@@broughttoideas I could answer this 50 different ways, but I more or less gave up trying to make someone happy anymore who made no attempt to do anything to make herself happy or keep herself entertained. As the father of two daughters, I feel as though where I've mostly succeeded as a Dad is producing two young women who are academically and artistically talented, have hobbies are physically active, and are self-aware and emotionally intelligent. If you marry someone who lacks most of these things, but instead relies upon alcohol as a crutch to get through life you'll not only get divorced but end up with kids who dream of the day that they can leave home and move far, far away.
If you marry the wrong person, sitting in solitude listening to great music and communicating with people who feel the same way about that music, late at night, will feel like more friendship than the person you were married to for the best part of two decades.
I hope you or anybody will pick wisely when it comes to a partner and live a happier life than I ever did.
All the best to you, whoever or wherever you are.
¡Sublime! No me canso de escuchar a Mischa. Llevo años poniendo este video al estudiar, leer o simplemente para disfrutar la maravillosa música de Bach a través de las buenas manos de este gran musico.
I have heard so many people play this piece and they all break tempo when they switch to the lower string and this guy does not. He plays this piece amazingly beautifully.
I think because he doesn't move his bow back and forth like the others do, he takes one long sweep of the bow and then tilts it or uses his fingers to generate the notes. It's way smoother and more fluid, his bow is continuously just taking nice, long sweeps.
He's my favourite aswell. The only one who studied cello with Pjatigorskij and Rostropovič. A hell of a legacy, if I may. And it can be clearly heard by how he performs. The best of the best.
Wrong. He frickin changes temp just as much as everyone else. Put a metronome to it
@@musicgaines7170 Its meant to be played that way based on the tempo markings, they are everywhere in a more sophisticated piece like this. Its very emotional and captivating when done right, along with annunciation, vibrato, and dynamics. This piece is very captivating.

and devils
but this man may have been touched by an angel at birth
My 4 year old daughter LOVES to listen to the prelude before going to bed. Its amazing watching her so enamored with with such a sophisticated piece of classical music thats so, so much older than her.
d'you know where this was performed?
@@mobucks555 it was recorded at Zentralsaal, Bamberg, Bavaria, Germany in 1984.
@@chitray thankyou!
Your daughter and me are alike then, this is therapy for me especially before bed. I'm more than 10 times her age though.😂
Timeless music knows no age. Power to the both of you. Now... off to practice. Hope you get her a cello stat!
Just witnessed the best cellist in the world, who can not only play this but also play this complete 20min by heart
That's not special at all for a professional clasically trained musician (talking of playing this by heart). Watch Andras Schiff playing 90 minutes of Bach by heart. On the piano (a lot more notes to memorize). That's a lot more difficult.
Know any cellist that can do what you said Andras Schiff can do only on a cello? Hm?
To me, this was and still is the best performance of the first cello suite that has ever been recorded. I don’t think anyone can or will top it. What an astounding rendition!
A true artist makes it look so easy and effortless. As an amateur musician, I know it's not. Never heard of him before, just love the sound of the cello, but what a master! Looks like he's not even trying. Some players could be all technique and no emotion, but he's got both. The mathematics and the beauty.
Bill Sykes can you see my videos
ACUERDO TOTALMENTE! BILL
I so agree
Asaf avidan. One day
It's astounding how he produces so many notes with seemingly minimal bow or finger movement.
I don't think it's possible to look any more like a person who plays classical music than this guy
Nick: yes. You nailed it.
He looks like skinnier Sylvester Stallone.
Give him a dashing grey streak through his hair and a few more gold rings.
It's the Roman
Jason Mantzoukas might not play cello.
This is the definition of Musical Art.
The Spirit of Orchestral Music Your definition*
This is art. And it defines the term very well.
The Spirit of Orchestral Music They were trying to say that cello is not the only form of art.
The arguement that cover the beautiful feeling of music. Why are the freedom to express are banned in the name of equality ?
The Spirit of Orchestral Music indeed it is
Thanks God for a Genius like Bach and a wonderfull Cello master like Mischa
First time I heard this was in Strasbourg, France. I was by the church. It was a beautiful fall day and the buildings were so close together that the wind blows around the church. It was warm wind too. The saying there is the Devil is trying to get into the church but he can’t because of how holy the church is. It’s a memory I’ll never forget
I don’t know how but this heals the cracks in my soul.
What a profound way of putting it.
xpan195: Bach will always do that to you.

You know what's great? Often times these sort of numbers in the millions of views are seen in ridiculous pop music song. But to see such a strong committed community to something real, and something so gorgeous. Like, I feel less alone for being the only one I know personally who listens to Classical regularly.
shut up
Nope, you're not alone!!!
I understand what you mean, I listen to jazz and classical music and everyone thinks it's shit, and listen to rap or pop
I absolutely adore this. I play it often and it never ceases to amaze me.
The cello sounds like more than one instrument playing. Such a beautiful instrument

Waaw. Toda una vida. La longevidad de las piezas musicales de antes le dan un cierto aire de vida a la música.

Su nacimiento y su muerte. Increible.

Love, joy, happiness, pain, sadness, despair, and overcoming… I can find all of these things in this single-voice piece. It’s like about our lives. Endless gratitude and respect to bach and maisky.
I love this piece of music. I love this musician's rendition. Thank you.
There was a park that I frequented called ‘Places des Vosges’ around Bastille, Paris. A man, in between empty passageways, was playing cello playing Bach, and the sound was just so full and engrossing. Due to acoustics off the dome-type form of the passageway or maybe to his pure talent, I do not know. A man, his cello, this place, late afternoon, scattered Parisian sky, all made one coherent sound.
Now that the streets are empty, I imagine that a man, now older, comes back with his cello, just like the old time, and plays just the same, only this time, to himself and God. - nyc, 3/16/2020

He is a magnificent and I can’t help wondering how tall he might be, does that cello not appear to be tiny in his hands?

I've listened to this while studying in HS. Now I'm finishing up my last semester of college and I still come back to listen every now and then, while studying or to just enjoy listening. 🙇♀
Such a tremendous performance. His eyebrows, that move as if he's having a passionate conversation with a lover. His hands, that grip with such control. His neck, that moves in tune with the atmosphere of the music, almost as if he's surprising himself with his own performance...
Masterful!

How can 873 people dislike this Bach concerto.
Alongside Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, was one of the most naturally gifted composers of all time.
His compositions are works of a complete Genius, a master of all instruments, its almost divine intervention.
Peter Lewis I think the dislikes are about the style of the performer, not the piece itself.
Also, a concerto consists of a soloist and orchestra accompaniment. This is a suite: a collection of pieces that tie together. I do agree that Bach is an amazing composer and I really love listening to it. I'm glad you do too! :)
Peter Lewis how can even one person dislike this beautiful harmony?
+Glenn Bolding Maybe, because this people have dis-harmony inside. +Peter Lewis Don't surprise me the 1,000 dislike!!! The bad taste in music it's viral!!! The human it's a beast that forget talk with the gods playing a instrument, or just listen with attention what have to say to us!!!!
+Peter Lewis btw a suite is different from a concerto
Also it is spelled Mozart.
I also think that Bach was a very hardworking man, actually he said so himself.
+xellossaxon They prefer Yo Yo Ma better?
It's so fascinating to think that this music brings me chills in the same way it did for people in the 18th century....
I break down completely, I feel joy and sadness and all manner of emotions. My soul just cannot handle its beauty.
+K4inan Same, it's incredible.
well, I doubt many people from the 18th century ever got the chance to hear this song when it was first erected, so consider it a blessing to those that did.
Allen Smith hehe, erected.
+Allen Smith It was also considered an etude back then, it was considered an etude until Rostropovich recorded it and sold the records.
Absolutely breathtaking masterpiece in submission of master Mischa Maisky .. nothing else to say
Mischa is true genius. This is the best performance of this peace, somewhere halfway between Casal's expresion and Rostopovich's precision.
19:28 long and he doesn't look at the neck once. Quite literally being able to play it with his eyes closed. Amazing!
Yeah it's a great "peace" lmao
The great performance? I think no man.

Very nice playing. Thanks.
This makes me feel things i cant put in to words. An absolute masterpiece!
I have the same, I get teary-eyed with the beauty, the simple complexity. So moving x
I have troubles sleeping, on the really bad days I put this on with headphones, I'm out before minute 3, not because it's bad, but because it puts me at ease and my brain calms down. Thank you for this
I'll try that.
Josh, did you know that Bach wrote the Goldberg Variations to be played for someone who had insomnia? Not to put him to sleep but to enjoy listening to while he was awake.
I totally understand that.
I do this also . It reminds me there is beauty in the world , and then all burdens seem lighter .
Every time when I feel stressed and down, I will listen to this one. At the end of this piece, all the problems will be solved. This piece is filled with courage, eternity love, sweet sadness, and hope. I like his interpretation of Bach and way of feeling expression. A wonderful spiritual inspiring performance. Bravo!
I can say that, despite not being a classical music specialist, this is my favorite rendition of the suite. It appealed to me more more than Casals' and Rostropovich's renditions. I don't want to be thought of being disrespectful of those great artists.
It's as if it's saying, "My life seems so fully complete when I hear it reverberate throughout the entire home that I don't think I'd miss out on anything if I died in my sleep tonight."
So you can play this in an empty house where a family used to live, where children used to run and fight in the hallway and there was a woman you could wrap your arms around, but now it's ten o'clock at night in an empty house, and life seems complete. As though you don't have anything or don't want anything.
I felt obligated to express this because there are individuals somewhere in the globe who are suffering.
Hell ya suffering rocks
Eu amo suite N° 1 de Bach em cello. E não encontrei ninguém melhor do que esse músico tocando. Eu sempre navego e me emociono ao ouví-lo tocar. 😢❤

The sacrifices made, the time, and the effort towards practicing is something to behold.
His timing is superb. Great interpretation. I wonder if that’s it in fact what Bach had in mind for this piece. This music never ages. It’s forever one of the highest moments of mankind and sound.
I agree! Light and Love to You Sir.
he adds a well executed personal touch
Not too slow, not too fast. Brilliant. I admire in tons this capacity of making music like this.
There’s an explainer for Oswald Spengler’s “Decline of the West” that’s on here. I forget which one, about 20 to 30 minutes. Either way Spengler talks about how different civilizations are driven by different spirits that affect everything. EVERYTHING. about them. He compared and contrasted Roman and Faustian (post-Roman Western Europe) civilizations and their art. The Romans were an inward looking people. Their art reflected instantaneous snapshots in time in incredible detail. Those statues were their artistic expression, the one they mastered. Since the Romans that art has been imitated and admired but never done in the true earnestness the Romans did.
For us, the Faustian West, we chose music. He calls us Faustian because Faust made a pact with the devil for unlimited knowledge. He just HAD to know. Had to expand, to see, to learn. Music fills the silence of the space you’re in, so we were drawn to it. So he says. Either way, nobody else has mastered music like we did. It’s not even close, really.
Possessed for 20 min by Bach himself
Comforting to know that this recording will travel across the depths of our universe, forever!
That would take a seriously long time while maintaining unprecedented signal integrity!
"I hope these are the kinds of things that last" might be the sentiment here but that was still funny because it's true!
Was that one of the recordings that were sent off into space in a capsule?
This is a beautiful piece. Mischa’s level of skill displayed here is amazing. And he has a look about him that seems to say “he’s a serious artist”, I like that look.
I revisit this video every year and every year I love it more. Thank you so much for sharing your gift to the world
Someone please loop, 2:22-2:40. That part is heavenly.

The acoustics and sound in general in this room... I am baffled. I wish I could have been in the room when this was recorded. Marvellous.
It is a palladian villa. not sure which one though.
Villa Caldogno, Nordera, one of the side rooms.
Well a spectacular natural reverb for sure, but I bet its because of the frescos and the tile floor, its essentially a super large bathroom as far as acoustics go.

Maravillosos Bach, impresionante Maisky. Qué afortunados somos pudiendo disfrutar esta música.
Opino lo mismo :)
Bach's famous prelude has been enticing modern kids to classical music ever since.
Evangelion: Death & Rebirth/Ep. 8 of Netflix's Daredevil, anyone??
The book 'The Cello Suites' by Eric Siblin taught me about Casals. Absolutely great.
Justin Parola that may be true but i dont even like that mutch of the prelude, i prefer Courant and i AM a kid and i play the cello
Rodrigo Vaccari
Valter Pires u
A melhor representação dessa obra de arte que já ouvi ate hj é desse músico... Passou todo sentimento da música. Obrigada!
This is the most beautiful piece i have heard on a cello 😍
He HITS every single note perfectly.
Indeed he does
@@andrewanderson3016 They must strive for perfection or quit and just admire those who are better than them. This is as simple as it is.
I can't say if he does, but he plays wonderfully, giving us an understanding of the music.
@@nortons7040So they "must strive" for something that doesn't exists and has never been reached by anyone...
Bullshit.
It's a pleasure listening this Bach Suite, in this prodigious hands of Mischa Master.
When you say "pardon" instead of excuse me
Wow
😂
Je vous en prie
Top né? Kkkk traduz ai
Why ?
I could listen to this for the rest of my life and not get tired of it. You are a cello master my friend. God bless you for sharing such gorgeous music for us. May you be rewarded for your steadfastness to classical music.
