As part of my ongoing series on the Saint-Saens Cello Concerto, I should like to present the following footage from YouTube of a talented young man playing the concerto’s last movement rather stoically, but expressively, along with a canned electronic, “Music Minus One” version of the piano part.
It seems that nineteenth-century French romanticism, in its cellistic form, is alive and growing in an unknown city in South Korea.
I have to say I admire this boy’s fearless nature.
我们大提琴家怎么都不怕！ 真实 – 艺术方面活动都需要那样态度； 无战不胜的。 但是琴是否敌人？ 又墙建的，必须有人跳了。 野心，手静，眼高，精神飞了。 小兵不会退出。
Wenn mann etwas echt machen wurden, denn muss mann selbst mit etwas verpflichten…. ein Stuck Musik, zum beispiel.
