909 was exactly where my heart skipped a beat. That articulation is almost like he travelled forward in time by a few milliseconds and played it back into the present. Truly amazing players

Радуюсь, что был Тимофей Докшицер теперь есть Сергей Накаряков. БЛЕСК !!! СПАСИБО!!!!!

Kirill Soldatov, obviouosly a killer player in his own right, and a famous Russian soloist, who certainly should be named in the title! Shame on Stalker200867 - but thanks for the music!

nah he's SHIT!

🤣😅😄

Antoine Courtoise with 195mm bells

The larger bell must make playing more challenging?

those are 4 valve flugels. As you may or may not know, the 4th valve drops the range by a perfect 4th tone. That helps to play the piece in the tenor range that it was intended for cellos. The larger bells and larger bores also helps to facilitate those low tones.

@@jamesfraser4173 I play a 154 (170mm bell) only three valves here they play the 156, these are not more difficult to play, Antoine Courtois flugals are not the easiest anyway they take a lot of air but intonation is very good and sound for me the best; all beautiful instruments. These guys here however make everyone I know sound very amateur. They also make a 155 for a more Jazz / mixed band sound.

@@indiodeelsalvador5846 So the 4th valve would be the equivalent of playing the 1st and 3rd valves together?

Courtois 4 Valves with the big 195mm Bells, not easy instruments. 4th valve keeps tune on lower notes when 1 & 3 are sharp.

Also allows you to fill in the gap between the low F# and the pedal C on a normal 3 valve one, which Nakariakov uses to great effect when playing transcriptions of cello concertos etc.

Jerks?

@@joshuathompson4242 sarcasm...

@@tomloya7366 well it was very bad sarcasm if I may say so

@@tomloya7366 I thought it was funny, I got the joke.

Sorry but they sound nowhere near. I love their sound as a french horn player (especially their wide bore models are great) myself but that's something compleatly different.

Vivaldi - Concerto for Two Cellos in G minor RV531

The other soloist is Kirill Soldatov.

O Corneteiro thank you

Courtois 4 Valve Flugelhorn

nope, those are flugelhorns.

Be intereting to hear on Mellophones for sure. But these guys using Courtoise flugels and mouthpieces like buckets make it look easy

(Especially Sergei's)

Nakariakov had a bad spinal injury as a child, hence his stoop. Anyway it obviously doesn't make much difference to his amazing playing.

When I'm playing, I have to have my music-stand above the bell - but then I can't see the conductor.

We were never allowed to leanfrware like tha, On the other hand some well known popular artists are really much worse.

Posture, mouthpiece position, pinky in the ring, fingertips... all the things you get hung up on as a young musician, usually because of teachers that only know what they were taught.. and none of which really matters. Sometimes we lose track of the end goal; beautiful music.
