Mr. Greenhouse at age 95 communicates more expression in each phrase than most could ever dream of at any age. Truly a great artist.
95 years old and still making beautiful music.

Rest in Peact Maestro Greenhouse. Thank you for the mark you left on this earth.
RIP Bernie! Forever thankful to have been in your company, listen to you play in your living room and eat at your table. What an amazing cook! Best pancakes ever :)
I'm proud to be in a line of cellists taught by this man. One of my cello teacher's 3 professional cello teachers was taught personally by Mr. Greenhouse and his techniques of "doing more with less energy" in terms of moving around the fingerboard will stay with me for as long as I play.
Thanks for posting this (years ago, I know)! Very eloquent playing, as was always the case with him. I am among the many who are blessed to have been his student.
Eric Edberg Music notes melted into his body and you are so lucky to have had been his student!
The woman who played the piano, Jou-An, is also a cellist. She's originally from Taiwan. Not sure where she resides now. I knew her when she was in UT Austin for her doctorate degree. She's a pretty good cellist herself. It's good that she had the chance to learn from the great Bernard Greenhouse.
If I am alive at 95 and could play my cello.... Wow. This is awesome to see
Erschreckend zu hören, wenn man bedenkt, wie wunderbar Greenhouse früher im Trio gespielt. Ein Pianist kann so hochbetagt noch (mit gewissen altersbedingten Einschränkungen) auf professionellem Niveau spielen, nehmen wie als glanzvolles Beispiel Mieczysław Horszowski, der mit fast 100 Jahren vielleicht sogar noch schöner Klavier gespielt hat als in seinen jüngeren Tagen, aber die Streicherhand und die Intonation funktionieren nicht mehr gut genug ab ungefähr 60 oder auch etwas später. Es ist leider wie beim klassischen Sänger.
A powerful inspiration his entire life to us all! His recording of the Haydn D Concerto is incredibly virtuosic!
I wish I could play cello as well at any age in my life!
Bernard Greenhouse (January 3, 1916 - May 13, 2011) Rest in Peace
This-------is my favorite youtube video. So beautiful.
Wow , Thank you for sharing the clip . I wish I could see maestro , don't know where he lives . He reminds me so much of maestro Abram Stern on the Violin . May They live well and Long ..
This is my great grandpa.. a truly great man
Random question: is this the actual Strad Cello or is this the copy he had made?
Countess of Stainlein, he played it often
@robertdakelman Actually, Bernie told me that he was born on January 1st, but until his birthday was registered because of the holidays it was already Januarz 3rd. So it was written this way
This man inspires me. I'm playing this in my cello lessons at the moment because I can't move on to Grade 6 yet with out Grade 5 theory. No matter how hard I try I can't quite play it like him! But 95?! Wow. Just shows that it's never too late to play an instrument. Rest in peace to such a talented man.
Rip Maestro ti ascolto col cuore aperto
Do a little research on Bernard Greenhouse.
Rest in Peace dear Bernie...
wonderful! how full of life in his heart!
Thank you so much for posting this.
Bravo, Maestro! Rest in peace.
Wonderful man, much missed.
I am her student!!!!!
Rest in Peace.
enchanting
the cello is slightly out of tune, he misses a few notes, but hell, he's 95, fantastic.
Cute pianist
