Triple Bach: Does it get any better?
Pablo Casals conducts a gloriously old-fashioned 1971 performance…
Vulgar. Banal. Awful. Any honest version of the “original” is to prefer.
200,000 views, eh, so what?
Total rubbish
Just watch the nattering nabobs of negativism swarm to criticize this video.
It’s cute. It’s a way to demonstrate some software.
Nothing more, nothing less.
For justification, a YouTube comment picked at random:
“You guys are the reason I have been in piano for 6 years and started cello a few weeks ago! I have loved your videos since I saw my first one!”
Lighten up, detractors. It wasn’t that bad. And it might bring some cheer to benighted piano teachers enduring for the millionth time an eight-year old picking out the notes.
If we could still star comments, I would give yours a thumbs-up.
Does not deserve serious opposition.
Absolutely Schrecklich!!
Maybe this isn’t to your liking, but that doesn’t mean it’s worthless. Flashy, unsubtle performances like this are what first attract some people to classical music; more refined taste and appreciation of nuance come later.
Who was it who said ” Roll over, Beethoven “? He will be spinning like a top after this
The humor saves it….and of its type, it’s not so bad! Lighten up, commenters!
Lewd wig van Boat haven has suffered worse….”Fury lease” will survive.
Garbage.

(Sorry, I may have repeated myself – comments not yet moderated do not show up any more.)
Those of you who didn’t like that, will really hate this!

A worthy use for one of Beethoven’s least playable (that is, playable well) pieces.
