lockwoodwallace just said everything i was going to say so I join his opinion, described below.

absolutely agree
Pichat1 - you do ... ( 8 months ago by lovethecello)
Pichat1 - you do seem jealous. There just is no other like Steven. He is the "complete" musician. He's not just playing concertos with different orchestras - he's researching, writing great books on the composers, playing chamber music, and just giving so much to the incredible thing that classical music IS. I'm 49 years old, and a teacher for many years. I don't play the cello, but I'm a better pianist and musician because of Steven. As a teacher, he is VERY appreciated.
Well I've obviously ... ( 8 months ago by pichat1)
Well I've obviously touched a sore point. Before I leave you guys do your worship in peace, 1stly I don't live in the UK and I assure you, jealousy does not come into this. 2nd it's entries like 'If Mr. Isserlis skewered me during a masterclass, I would probably just say, "thank you"' that make your stomach churn (no offence). Saying anyone's 'the best', is inmature and disrespectful towards scores of other wonderful teachers and performers of which different people have different experiences
With due respect ... ( 8 months ago by pichat1)
With due respect sir, stating that there's no one as great and 'complete musician' as Steven is bordering on the sacrilege given, for example, the legacy of the recently deceased maestro Rostropovich who didn't just research the composers, he KNEW most of the 20th century ones! He was a concert pianist (!), a conductor, an international ambassador for music etc- a cello lover cannot disregard all that! Yet I can't say he was The best! Everyone has had 'amazing' experiences of their own...
Another Steven ... ( 8 months ago by MMFmasterclass)
Another Steven Isserlis masterclass clip, this time on the Schumann Fantasy Pieces will be posted by the Masterclass Media Foundation very shortly. No more skewering!
Wow you definitely ... ( 8 months ago by mshakhz)
Wow you definitely set me straight. NOW you can sleep at night.
Ta mate, I really ... ( 8 months ago by pichat1)
Ta mate, I really was suffering from insomnia over this one! Well now I WILL sleep peacefully since I'm down to only one red point, and that's from you! So let's exchange them, just to be fair. Otherwise, I'd like to wish success to everyone here, really do. For a peep into this page just shows again why Britain has, alas, so few great cello soloists (Steven naturally being one of them- JLW another?..) Truth upsets and angers. So now I turn on the fan for what will be spewed my way. Cheers all

Mike i just noticed its you :)
Were you at the one at the Summit?
The truth is that ... ( 8 months ago by lovethecello)
The truth is that you came by here only to throw a handful of dirt. Feel better now? And by the way - dear maestro Rostropovich adored Steven.
No I don't feel ... ( 8 months ago by pichat1)
No I don't feel better, ended up here by pure coincidence without knowing it's a fans-only page with no other views allowed. Let's not assume without knowing about who Slava liked- he was a diplomat and was complementary about native artists wherever he went. I shan't be revisiting this page- to everyone's smirk, but would use great Zara Nelsova's words: think with your own heads, don't raise anything or anyone into a cult and always be curious for different angles. Happy Easter to everyone here

Hey Guy Johnston! I ... ( 7 months ago by pianoboyo)
Hey Guy Johnston! I love his playing. Think Steven pretty tough on him here - but fair points. Always makes me laugh when someone yelling at you to relax in a masterclass - all it does is make you more conscious you were tense and serves to make problem worse not better. Really it is something should be mentioned once and left (it needs work outside class - not before public). But a very interesting class all the same - Steven is a great cellist.
I am a professional ... ( 7 months ago by esCX4600)
I am a professional cellist, and while I love classical music, I sometimes get tired of the kind of detail these pro's take it to. I think it is all wonderful, but there comes a point when you ask yourself, am I being expressive or obsessive?
It's kinda why ... ( 7 months ago by Professortodd)
It's kinda why they're pros. They need to understand the music in and out in order to play the piece with the full emotion! The full effect! The fact that he knows all of this is what makes him so good at playing the piece, and what makes him one of the best in the world.
when he talks about ... ( 6 months ago by shafran100)
when he talks about vibrato, I think the vibrato of Guy is much more sensitive here than Isserlis...constant vibrato which is what the passage needs here to create the relaxed calm feeling - not fast vibrato occasionally on some notes...
I think this is a ... ( 6 months ago by pviola314)
I think this is a very valid point and to a certain extent it does make sense. However, music is a means to an end. I think striving for excellence in music is much like striving for excellence in improving oneself to what one should be. Maybe there's no way to get it all perfect, but if one doesn't begin striving for it, it will sound the same old dull way. If one is content with one's personal flaws and doesn't want to work on them, then they will remain flaws... my two cents, best wishes
I don't think he's ... ( 5 months ago by Matthme)
I don't think he's saying that there should be no vibrato on some notes, just that Guy's vibrato was all the same and that there needs to be a variety of different colours. Faster vibrato on some notes helps to give the phrase some shape. I suppose it's all about taste really...
i tottally ... ( 5 months ago by sheepbird)
i tottally understand where your coming from but when these people perfect songs to a point when their younger all their really is left is to solve those little things that make the piece that much better
how much does ... ( 5 months ago by jepdez)
how much does isserlis sound like simon cowell?

Didn't know this vid. Thankx 4 posting it. He makes some very interesting points
perhaps we should ... ( 5 months ago by eblankendaal)
perhaps we should all be a bit more obsessive to get the ultimate expression?
If anyone hasn't ... ( 2 months ago by coasterman16)
If anyone hasn't heard Isserlis's performance of the Barber cello concerto, now's the time to buy the cd. It's cheap, and it comes with the legendary John Browning/Leonard Slatkin Piano Concerto (also by Barber).
