Zwar spiele ich oft als Solist und Kammermusiker. Seit vier Jahren habe ich aber auch eine 100%-Stelle als Stellvertretender Solo-Cellist im Luzerner Sinfonieorchester. In diesem aufwändig produzierten Video kannst du meinen Orchesterkollegen und mir bei der täglichen Arbeit im KKL zuschauen. Die Leitung hat Chefdirigent James Gaffigan. Viel Vergnügen!

Video: Johan De Meij “Casanova” (2000) für Cello und Blasorchester
Live-Aufnahme vom 16.11.2013, Kerns, Dossenhalle
Sebastian Diezig, Cello
Beat Blättler, Dirigent
Harmoniemusik Kerns
“Casanova” für Solocello und Blasorchester von Johan De Mein ist unter Cellisten so etwas wie ein Geheimtipp. Oft steht das Stück im Schatten des bekannteren Werkes für die gleiche Besetzung – dem Gulda-Cellokonzert. Johan De Meijs Cellokonzert ist meiner Meinung nach aber vielseitiger und tiefgründiger. Hoffentlich wird es in Zukunft öfters gespielt. Ich danke dem Dirigenten Beat Blättler und seinem Orchester, der Harmoniemusik Kerns für das schöne Konzert!
Video: Bach 6 Prelude (Practise Video)

I am practising for my upcoming concert in Tafers (Kanton Fribourg) which takes place on october 3/2013 at 20h00 in Gasthof St. Martin. On the programme: Bach 6, Veress Solo Sonata and Diezig Top Gun Variations.
I recorded it quickly and easily with my computer. Audio and video quality is so/so but let’s not care about it too much. The music remains great no matter how you record it. I may post a live recording of the whole suite from the concert if I am satisfied with the outcome. Best regards, Sebastian
Cello Solo from Tchaikovsky “Sleeping Beauty” (Dornröschen)

Sebastian Diezig, Cello
I practised it for the upcoming Ballet production with the Lucerne Symphony in the Luzerner Theater. Unfortunately the ballet got shortened and before the first rehearsal I was told that this solo and many other parts got cut out in order to shorten the piece. Therefore I dexided to share it on Youtube. It’s a very nice cello solo. Audio quality is okay but not great because I recorded it very easily through my computer (Photo Booth).
Video: Antonin Dvorak: Cello Concerto Live in Concert – OVUF/Ianos/Diezig
Recorded on 5/5/2013 in Fribourg, Aula de l’Université.
The Dvorak Cello Concerto is one of the most beautiful Cello Concertos if not the most beautiful of them all and for sure the most famous one. Recently I had the opportunity to play it in Fribourg with the Orchestre de la Ville et de l’Université de Fribourg under the baton of Maestro Alexandru Ianos. A great experience! Here comes the video for my own “Digital Concert Hall”. Enjoy it!

Video: Johann-Sebastian Bach: Sarabande and Gigue from 6th Suite for Cello solo
The Suite No. 6 for Cello solo by Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the trickiest pieces to play because it was written for a cello with 5 strings. Today most people play it on the instrument they have which means only 4 strings like seen in this video. Hence the difficulty.

Kodaly’s beautiful hungarian style duet is undoubtedly one of the most important contributions to the repertoire for the duo violin/cello. Here you can hear and watch it as my wife Paula Novoa (violin) and myself (cello) play it in Fribourg.

Video: Mauro Giuliani: Serenata A-Major for Guitar, Violin and Cello
Giuliani wrote a very beautiful chamber work here. It’s operatic belcanto with just a violin (Christina Gallati), a guitar (Maria Efstathiou) and a cello (Sebastian Diezig).
