Vladimir Ashkenazy: Chopin's Nocturnes
J.S. Bach - Adagio, Easter Oratorio BWV 249
J.S. Bach - Harpsichord Concerto in D minor BWV 1052 Adagio
Ludwig van Beethoven - Ninth Symphony
A string instrument derived from the viola da braccio, created around the year 1560 shortly after the appearance of the violin. Unfortunately, the cello did not have as much luck as the violin...
To avoid being too serious, I won't start by saying that Luca is unearthly handsome (as if it wasn't enough that he plays the cello like a poet and a hard rocker in one). The cello, which was somewhat unfairly overshadowed by a certain beautiful cellist, comes to life in the hands of this young god. It comes to life, screams, argues, and cries. In such a game, one can find a whole range of human experiences and emotions.
The quintet is made up of section leaders of the Warsaw Camerata orchestra: Adam Zarzycki - 1st violin, Monika Kos-Nowicka - 2nd violin, Michał Styczyński - viola, Jerzy Wołochowicz - cello and Małgorzata Kołcz - double bass.

This is an extraordinary performance combining two completely different instruments - the cello and the accordion, by Stjepan Hauser and Amadej Herzog, which is a true tribute to the great composer J.S. Bach. In this case, the Adagio from the Toccata in C Major, BWV 564 became the basis for an incredible interpretation by the two virtuosos. Johann Sebastian Bach is considered one of the greatest composers in the history of music, primarily creating during the Baroque era. His work is extremely diverse, but it is always characterized by deep emotion, precision, and perfection of musical construction. The Adagio from the Toccata in C Major is an excellent example of how Bach was able to handle counterpoint and melodies, creating impressive and moving pieces. Stjepan Hauser, a world-renowned cellist, is known for his extraordinary talent and unique playing style. His interpretations are full of passion, emotion, and a deep understanding of every note. What distinguishes his performance of the Adagio from the Toccata in C Major is not only technical perfection but also an artistic sensitivity that permeates every sound. Amadej Herzog, a talented accordionist, is perfectly attuned to the moods and subtleties of Bach's music, able to bring something new to this piece. His playing is full of expression, and the sound of the accordion creates an intimate atmosphere that perfectly complements the melody of the cello. Herzog proves that the accordion can be as captivating an instrument as the violin or piano. In conclusion, this exceptional interpretation of the Adagio from the Toccata in C Major, by Stjepan Hauser and Amadej Herzog, is a moment where two virtuosos come together to pay tribute to the genius of J.S. Bach. This combination of instruments, talents, and artistic visions creates an unforgettable collaboration that reaches the deeply hidden emotions of the listener and reminds us how powerful and universal the language of music is.
Wow, this performance is amazing! I am impressed by Stjepan Hauser's skills on the cello and Amadej Herzog's on the accordion. Their interpretation of the Adagio from J.S. Bach's Toccata in C major is full of emotion and depth. It's fantastic how these two young artists co-create something so beautiful. This video certainly proves that classical music is timeless and can also be incredibly inspiring for the youth. I am inspired and I'm about to add this to my playlist!
