Feuermann 1:27 - lower register 1:41 - higher register Aylesford 3:19 - lower register 3:53 - higher register Paganini 5:25 - lower register 5:49 - higher register

We are so spoiled to have such a chance to hear these instruments side by side. Wonderful!

Yep...the Paganini sounds the best to my ear in this recording.

Ah, Strads. They sure make you work for the tone, but the reward is unlike any other.

The high register of the Feuermann cello has so much character, sounds like his recordings, love it!

Sorry for the audio, it was quite a last minute opportunity, if you want to check a comparison between two strads with High Fidelity audio check my Comparison between 1696 and 1694 strads

all 3 cellos are a work of art, each one has its personality. thanks for sharing!

I got chills running down my back when you started the Paganini Stradivari. Simply amazing!!

They all really sound like they'd be great for different pieces. I love it! I would like the lower register of the Aylesford and the higher register of the Paganini if I could combine them. Not that I can play well enough to even produce this consistent and beautiful a sound... yet. :)

The A string on the Lord Aylesford is just beautiful.....then the Paganini sounds next best... In my humble opinion!

Gracias por el video, Pablo!!! Un saludo 🌷🌷

I don't know if it's the instrument or that he's been playing it for 6 years, but the Lord Aylesford just floats my boat. I love these types of videos.

Fantástico video-gracias por compartir!!

So beautiful. Thank you so much for video!

Thank you very much! What a privilege and a treat to hear such unique and ancient instruments being played side by side. It's like a direct line back to another time in history! All 3 cellos looked to be in an amazing state of preservation and quality, how can instruments around 300 years look so good? Incredible and beautiful!

...the reverb from Lord Aylesford 😍😍😍💙💙💙, especially around the lower strings!

Fascinating. Thank you for posting. Of course they all sound wonderful when you play them , but I also preferred the Aylesford.

Gorgeous instruments, gorgeous musician!

Extraordinary video! Thank you so much

Qué hermoso sonido, cada uno mejor que el otro.

They are all beautiful what sounds thank you

FEUERMANN!!!!! Que gran viaje! Saludos Pablo!

Parabéns Pablo por compartilhar essa experiencia increível conosco, muitos violoncelistas infelizmente não fazem esse trabalho maravilhoso que você faz de nos amostra esse som incrível desses Stradivarius, gostaria muito que você testasse o Stradivari Marquis de Corberon 1726 dos mestre Steven isserlis que um violoncelista incrível,amo suas gravações. Além, 1711 ‘Duport’ (Rostropovich), 1714 ‘Batta’ (Piatigorsky) and the 1720 ‘Piatti’ (Piatti, Prieto).

Gracias por compartir!

Hands down...the Paganini.

Paganini sounds brutal beautiful 😍

Pirastro perpetual strings on one, larsen on another and combination larsen/ spirocore on the other are hugely different sets.... great chance to listen to strads:)

Thank you for this so interesting video .From France .

Bien Pablo!! Tocas super

Wooow! You rock guy! play very very well!

Best video ever!!!! 🎻🎶

The sound of the instruments would be unrecognizable to Stradivarius - his instruments have all been 'modernised': longer neck at increased angle, larger bass bar, metal strings, modern bridge, and played with a modern Tourte bow - the sound therefore is completely different compared to the original set-up, lower pitch, and gut strings etc.

I’ve played both a Haide Goffriller and their Ruggeri model in a hall, directly against an Antoniazzi and a 1693 Brescian Tononi. No comparison, but the Chinese have clearcut and are running low on wood. Necks, etc., are now made of Chinese materials to conserve supply. I’ve also played the Castelbarco Strad, the Sleeping Beauty Montagnana, etc., and can attest to the echelon of instrument the Haide people are producing; with professional sound setups the results are very often superb-not invariably, of course, but more than occasionally.

Loved the video.You make every cello sound amazing! I love your playing I think I liked the Paganini the best My own cello is an old English cello dated 1777

2nd & 3rd to me - but like you said, the Lord Aylesford seems to have a wider range..(more sound range..? -I'm not a musician but what I've heard was the lows & highs have a wider resonance in comparison to the others..? ) Gracias Pablo y felicitaciones por tu carrera meteorica - que es el fiel reflejo de tu inmesurable talento

Beautiful

I love the Paganini one

Great comparative!

Wish one of my cellos sounded like this!

All three are fine but my heart goes to the Aylesford. Rich and powerful...has personality!

They are very dark in tone. Beautiful!

I swear u play the cello like a young God

If I could grow tall enough to get a full-size cello and have the chance to play on a Stradivarius, I would choose the Paganini. I love the clarity of that wonder of an instrument!

Thanks so much for this video! I'd say, both older cellos seem to be not finished for fine gradations of cello top thickness, while the youngest one has it almost close to practical limit considering strength. Why such powerful sound effortlessly so to say

Loved the Elgar!

The Paganini is the darkest, it's the most robust, but can also sound a little "tubby" in the high end to my ear. The Aylesford is nice, very crystalline and cavernous sounding. The Feurmann is my favorite, it has a voice all it's own, almost whispery in the beginning on the high notes. It sounds the saddest, it has the most soul.

Thanks for sharing and showing the stunning cellos. Who much you think would be the price of paganini cello ?

when I played the Lord Aylesford and the Feuermann in comparison quite some years ago , I was impressed with two things : 1st , the Aylesford ( the longest -- so in a way largest Stradivari Cello existing today ) was somehow always quite a bit "noisy" on the ear. What I mean is , it was quite direct , not so very smooth, and when had not always the best feedback of the subtle details of tone and sound, but for sure it was extremely rich of overtones and very powerful. The Feuermann , the much smaller model, had an extremely direct and powerful sound, still very malleable and rather a bit on the darker side maybe, but still very nice and even. Of course it was then already equipped with steel strings, and a different bridge from what it had when Isserlis played it so long ! And of course I am sure you also changed the setup and strings of the Aylesford and so that also sound a bit different then back then many years ago. Anyway -- for me -- both cellos are great, but not the ones I would personally choose if I had the best Stradivaris to choose from. That would rather be the "Davidoff" ( which I played shortly after a Yo-Yo Ma concert long ago ) or the Mara, which I think is one of the most astounding Cellos of all, at least it has the best projection and overtones in the hall which I tried out the others at ( Aylesford and Feuermann) , in comparison. This hall is difficult for Cello and so great instruments like the Goffriller of G.Capucon or the Montagnana of T.Mork are really struggling there ! However-- there are sometimes cellos which have a better projection than those just mentioned -- namely some great J.B. Vuillaume , which are of course have quite the Stradivari shapes anyway !!

That’s a dream!

super bardzo mi się podobało

Enlasdemostraciones solicito opiniones de comparación para seleccionar y distinguir sonidos de cada uno

Nice video! Would love to hear the Feuermann with a brighter setup. I'm a bit shocked how high polished they all are. Shellac overkill.

Hi, what kind of strings are on the Paganini Cello? Does anybody know that? Looks like the Tonica violin strings colour.

They are with different strings, one with bel canto and larsen, another just with larsen, and the last I didn't identify wich strings are in, but all superb cellos!!!!

Wow impresionante...!! Me encanta el Elgar muy bien tocadoo!!!!!👌👌👑

I'm not only a huge fan of your playing, but I also love your likable personality

I love Feuermann Cello ❤❤❤

Som agudo deixa para o violino o bonito no cello são os graves.

THE YOUNGEST! 1736! IM ROLLING IN MY CHAIR RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF HOW FUNNY THIS IS TO ME.

Anyone knows what type or brand strings are the second cello at 3:20? As well as the red C & G string on the first cello at 1:27? Thanks

Excelente vídeo. He heredado un violonchelo. ¿Cómo puedo conocer su antigüedad?

Epouvantable vibrato, sauvons-nous

Awesome! Which one is easier to play?

Which song and bar is this? I want to try and learn this part , it really shows the cellos power

Do you know where we could get more specific set up information ie string sets used, types of bridges, and tail pieces etc.

What a flex to have 3

What do you play on the cello first time in beggining ? Plese ! Thank you ! 🤗

Hard to compare because of different string types (steel and gut?).

Anyone know the first song used to demonstrate the lower register? Know the song but not the name

No one will ever be worthy to be in the same room as three Stradivari instruments.

I like the Paganini one as well, because of its D string quality. What make of strings are on it- I don't recognise them? My own is an Old English cello 1780.

In the Headphones of my Computer, the Aylsford Sound is not focused enough at all strings - so do the Feuermann and for me the best one is the Paganini. Maybe the Setup brings other results. Try "Acusticus" Tailpieces on all the Strads, the Sound become more free for more prospection !

Strings are different. And the instruments, for sure, were modernized, their neck angle rectified, so they sound more modern than when they were built. But to properly comparison, there should have been used the same brand and model of the strings.

Lord Aylesford always!

Which songs did he play? Could we get time stamps too?

what is the name of the piece at 5:49 thanks

Los tres suenan increíbles, pero me quedo con Lord Aylesford!!! 💕 es que esos bajos suenan de maravilla

I think the audio is clipping.

Are these for sale ? I suppose they are all expensive, about how much do they cost ?

All of them sound great to me, but I'm not a musician. I just love music.

What type of strings? What are the tail pieces made of?

I love the grace and charm of Feuermann, yet with Paganini, one cannot miss it has an extraordinary soul, which is almost scary and certainly overwhelming.

Ilove the cello yamaha 2020 also

Isnt that the Strad that Mr. Isserlis is using? ( the Feuermann)

Beautiful cellos, handsome player 😉

What kind of bow are you using in the video?

What's the name of that first piece you played in the beginning of the video?

I hear more of a roar in the Paganini, cant notice any diffrences from the other cellos though unfortuntley

What is the song he played in the beginning?

The sound is amazing! Hauser would be jealous?

Están vueltos a barnizar estos violoncelos???

I wish you could re record this using the best microphones available for recording cello, seems such a shame to not show these instruments off in their best light possible.

Could you maybe open a discord server or do live streams?

Feuermann one sounds the nicest to me

Both the Aylesford and Paganini cellos need the centre line of the backs perfectly restored - the Paganini in particular.

Lord Aylesford has the most depth, Feuerman sounds small, Paganini sounds like it projects well.

What song did he play when the video started?

What's the name of the piece played at the first moment of the video?

I know you're talking about sound, but the Lord Aylesford is looking like a snacc.

what song is this? (at the very start)
