This video has brought me to tears; not because of the music but because of the passion of Benjamin Zander for teaching! He is so very passionate, sometimes to the point of distraction. A very gifted teacher.
I'm un tears too ! Don't know if I'm sensitive today, but she he said "it's the first time to listen to someone in the audience, and the last time for other" I started crying....
@@robertolarios4199 his videos always make me cry honestly the passion just pierces the soul he's such a beautiful human. Because of him I'm learning the violin and piano
I feel like this ling ling 40hrs is such a generational inside joke XDDD, i see these sophisticated comments on different classical music videos and here and there i see a 16 or so y/o go "If you can play it fast you can play it slow" XDD
'So, if you are having fun inform your face about it' LOL What a nice man Zander is, he knows like no other how vulnerable you are as a musician. Especially when you make even a small mistake. He said such nice things to this boy to help him feel confident about his abilities..
I played this piece when i was 15. I'm 47 now and this masterclass instantly brought me back to those early days. Magic of music to transcend time and age!!!
The young man shall remember this master class for the rest of his life. Wish him the best and hopes that he remembers to let us voice show us his excitement and passion.
Oh my, my heart is bursting with joy hearing this! Matthew, your playing is exceptional, and your capacity to open yourself up and share it with others is wonderful to watch!! Benjamin, your inspiration and boundless energy is a guiding light for all of us. I felt it 100%. Thank you!!!
YOU Sir...are a MASTERPIECE... Just discovered you today from the TED talk of yours from 2008...Not knowing my olecronon from my ischial tuberosity about music except listening and being moved by it, l went through the whole hour of this. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it...because of your personality with all of its verve and vigour !! I wish I had a teacher like you when l was young. God Bless you
Great regards from Germany. Thank you so much for this video. I am also 16 years old and play the viola. The lessons inspired me so much for my music and I learned a lot. Because the motivation from Benjamin Zander I want to become a professional musician. Thank you for that!!!
It was such a surreal experience, getting to be a part of this. I’ll definitely remember this trip for the rest of my life. Thank you so much for having us!☺️💕
Spot......ON!!! BZ's encouragement is so very touching - and, I feel, right on the money. Yes this young cellist should absolutely conduct this piece. All the young musicians in the group are just waiting for it and obviously love him and want his leadership. Matthew, thank you. Go ahead, share the joy.
So, just a huge heap of co coincidences for me: I'm a cellist I'm 16 I want to be professional cellist I'm currently studying the Haydn C concerto... There's something appealing about this video
I enjoyed the interpretation class very much. Benjamin has a way of setting the musicians on fire with enthusiasm and helping them in a positive way that draws them too him and his constructive teachings.
This is one of the most extraordinary MasterClass I have ever seen. I cried so many times listing this. Utterly inspiring. Life changing for the young musicians he was mentoring. Wisdom beyond measure. Thank you, Benjamin. As you allude, one of the immeasurable miracles of the internet is that it lets us meet teachers, like you.
Benjamin Zander - wow, what a gifted 'maestro'. Very well done Matthew - these young musicians sound great and they're so lucky to go through this experience. Benjamin's ability to communicate and to motivate is mesmerizing. Weaving the past, present, and future while enabling these musicians to express themselves and bring that piece to life with the audience is absolutely extraordinary ; magical. And hey, Matthew's dad, from one to another , we see your efforts here - you get the standing O.
"When this goes out online ... people in Abu Dhabi, Ireland and Africa are going to watch you playing that." And here in France too. This is a truly inspiring video and the extraordinary bond between Matthew and Maestro Zander is a joy to see. It was also a great pleasure to watch and hear Matthew's performance on his TH-cam channel and to find a few more of his recordings. Thank you both.
Best gift a dad could offer for his talented son! Et Zander comme le bon vin! Je crois que cette session est vraiment la meilleure que j'aie vue!!! À voir, revoir, et méditer! Bravo Maestro, et magique Dina au piano, merci. Matthieu ira loin, grace à vous, et vous nous transcendez!
Watched this again and couldn't help noticing Matthew's face does tend to be a bit expressionless. As a young pianist, I never really understood why so many musicians made so many faces, but I eventually noticed myself doing it once I had stopped trying to play perfectly and started playing expressively. You loosen up and let your entire body express the music. I hope this boy gets there too and starts communicating more with his audience and his accompanists using that handsome face of his.
I love this masterclass, cellist my age, very close to my skill level, got a lot of structural notes that I can apply myself, well done to Matthew, and to Zander once again.
Congrats for the extraordinary class, Maestro Benjamin! And congrats Matthew, for your performance! I'm utterly thankful for you for bringing us this wonderful sharing of knowledge about music and life
Maravilloso!! Esto es ser maestro , da pasión, valore, bondad , guía firme y esperanza a sus estudiantes....❤ mil gracias 👏 por compartir! Además soy devota de Shakleton y su Endurance historia de coraje sin igual q he compartido con mis estudiantes muchas veces 🤗🤗🤗
It really is great to see the audience reactions too. The woman on the right side who is constantly bobbing to the music and playing air piano. I'm feeling it haha
This video is a genuine TREAT - a privileged insight into how delicious music is made but also an insight into the soul of a true "architect" (Benjamin Zander) who makes others' dreams come true. This is pure magic and so is the way Maestro Zander conducts himself and the musicians. This is about music AND life - something that music lovers and EVERYONE YOUNG AND OLD would really benefit from viewing. Did I mention that Mr.Zander is a magical human being too? WONDERFUL man and musician !
The kindest way to put the screws to a musician: "It has to be felt every time as if it was the first time, because you know for the audience it is...and for somebody in the audience its the last time". Pressure and hope in one statement.
I was ecstatic the whole entire trip. But in the video I look so bored because I didn’t sleep at all the night before. I was held in Toronto for many many hours and then got my flight changed to connect to LaGuardia in New York. The flight from NYC to Boston was scheduled at 7 am so I had to (try)sleep in the airport on the terminal floor with no baggage as well cause something weird happened to the original flight. We had no clothes, no cello cause my friend at the far right (cellist) drove it to Boston for me cause we couldn’t afford another seat for the cello. It was tough. I was so excited believe me but I was so tried. That’s all.
I am hopeful that with this inspiration I will be able to further inspire other would be musicians to take up the art form as a career amidst the high risk it carries. I am from the Kingdom of Eswatini and I love classical music.
Greetings from Australia... this was so brilliant to watch! What wonderful insights from Benjamin and such dynamic interpretation by cellist Matthew! This is my favourite cello concerto and you brought it to life! Bravo to you all!
46:15 wow, the "Rostropovich" thing was quite unbelievable. Thanks the lady that suggests the brilliant young cellist to check who Rostropovich was in "...youtube..." Great session!
This is a really american way to look at music. Not the way I would a approach a masterclass, but nonetheless, it makes the music fun, and music is supposed to be fun; glad that people doesn't completely forget about it.
É uma pena q ñ é dublado...mas admiro a forma de instrução...amo esses vídeos...só de assistir e ver as diferenças para o resultados já aprede-se muito mesmo 👋
Matthew is also filmed in a conducting masterclass of the Oakville Youth Orchestra, where Maestro Zander attacked the principal 1st violinist's hair😁😁. It was hilarious!
@@matthewbuczkowski2242 Dear me! It is he whose hair was attacked 😆😆. Thank you for pointing it out, Mr Buczkowski. Have always enjoyed your playing and that of your fellow musicians. Keep up the great work and continue to enlighten the world with your skills and talent.
Yes I understand it needs work, as all things do. We never really stop learning about something. There is always more room for improvement weather it is by you interpretation or another.
No, 5000 men responded to the Shackleton advertisment, not 28. Wich makes you think about the bravery of the men of the past. I love Zander, but he invent some of the things he say.
This is not a music masterclass, this Is a Life masterclass, with the added musical learning.......
This video is about living life, giving yourself to life. Nothing less.
This video has brought me to tears; not because of the music but because of the passion of Benjamin Zander for teaching! He is so very passionate, sometimes to the point of distraction. A very gifted teacher.

But if you can play it slow, you can play it fast.
if you can roast slowly, you can roast quickly

Yes, it’s very difficult as a beginner to be told that you are doing something wrong
Are you ready? Ok. And 1, and 2 and -
Let me tell you one other thing
lol love this guy
38:43 "Music is a language. It's speaking to people. And you know the beauty this language? Everybody understands it... there's no language barrier."
Being stuck in an ice cream factory on 12 hour shifts , these videos keep me sane. Very gratefull.
Think big my friend! I also worked in a factory many many years ago. Work hard and you can achieve your goals.
I played this piece when i was 15. I'm 47 now and this masterclass instantly brought me back to those early days. Magic of music to transcend time and age!!!
Did you play it well ?
@@estremp i played thru junior year of college while i was Biochem major. My last piece was Rococo variations. *sigh*
"Optimism is the true moral courage."
This man is one fantastic teacher. This young man is getting a priceless lesson.
im friends with matthew irl and his diligence is ridiculous. super cool to see his hard work pay off!
Eric Liang thanks so much Eric. That really means a lot

What a truly joyful experience! Thank you for inspiring these young Oakville musicians. It was something they will never forget! 🎶💕😊
It was such a surreal experience, getting to be a part of this. I’ll definitely remember this trip for the rest of my life. Thank you so much for having us!☺️💕
What an absolute delight to hear Mr Zander share stories and weave in life lessons along his musical masterclass! Thank you!

All the young musicians in the group are just waiting for it and obviously love him and want his leadership. Matthew, thank you. Go ahead, share the joy.
🙏 I ended up conducting the orchestra for the concert just like he said.
@@matthewbuczkowski2242, tell us more! How did it go? Is there a video of the performance?
Musicians are actors - meaning understad and express how the music moves you - gotcha Ben Zander!
So, just a huge heap of co coincidences for me:
I'm a cellist
I'm 16
I want to be professional cellist
I'm currently studying the Haydn C concerto...
There's something appealing about this video
Matthew Williams II cool!
Good luck in your career!
Im 16 too and doing this concerto.
Same
Bru I’m 13 and doing this....my teacher said I could do it but damn this is hard man
Under Maestro Zander's inspiration, music becomes the essential lifeblood of the human experience.
I enjoyed the interpretation class very much. Benjamin has a way of setting the musicians on fire with enthusiasm and helping them in a positive way that draws them too him and his constructive teachings.

These classes are music for the soul! Zander is a great inspiration! Touches me deeply! Thank you! Best regards from Brazil!
Amazing experience to be there. Beautiful video!
Michelle Healey so grateful to you and Andrew for making this connection and helping this experience happen!
I like so much the eye contact between Matthew and that Asian violinist when they are playing, that’s so touching ⭐️
He’s my best friend. I’ve known him since forever!
Oh my heart! His animation and his passion! How blessed to come across this gem!
I love this masterclass, cellist my age, very close to my skill level, got a lot of structural notes that I can apply myself, well done to Matthew, and to Zander once again.
From San Diego. I believe … in the music and in the moving young musicians and the deepening teacher. Thank you👏🎶💕
Love the energy Benjamin spreads around the room

Happy to see that you are well Benjamin Zander. I love your Master classes. Thank you Dina "Haydn "☺
Dina was amazing! Thank you, Dina, for supporting Matthew and the chamber ensemble with your wonderful accompaniment.
The kindest way to put the screws to a musician: "It has to be felt every time as if it was the first time, because you know for the audience it is...and for somebody in the audience its the last time". Pressure and hope in one statement.
Indeed
The tiny orchestra was a very very good idea. I wish more pieces could be done in this way.
*_50:30_**_ God bless for that. He had this poker face the entire time until this point. It's just so wholesome at that part xd_*

Yeah! Been waiting for another cello class! So glad these are continuing
yes I was waiting for them as well!
*WOW* Brought out *so much* from the *hidden treasures* to light and *to life.*
This is good!
Crying when you hear such a clear tone.
Good to have you back!

Thank you!
Cute cellist ☺️.
How can this student not know who Rostropovich is ?
Nothing is like cello. I wish I would have started on it. But I was prodigy on violin and viola. I do play cello. But I want to do double bass now.
great

*_DAMN title was misleading thought this was 2002. Was thinking "Damn quality is great" xd_*
Great playing but I think a bit more work needs to be done on his tone
Yes I understand it needs work, as all things do. We never really stop learning about something. There is always more room for improvement weather it is by you interpretation or another.
This is a great class, I wish the player had been more mature to grasp the ideas and concepts Sanders was coaching him on.
He will fully appreciate it later. At 17 one cannot fully understand and appreciate what is saying, its simply not possible at that age.
the pianist sounds far better than any others there. Anyone agree?
No, 5000 men responded to the Shackleton advertisment, not 28. Wich makes you think about the bravery of the men of the past. I love Zander, but he invent some of the things he say.
People know Shelton, but they don't know Mawson. Go read ALONE ON THE ICE!
OK but how did he not know Rostropovich....
I was tired. I couldn’t remember my own name.
These classes are a wonderful learning experience. Optimism is the true moral courage. How fascinating!
