Dieser frühe Schubert ist in seiner Frische und Unbeschwertheit ein sehr angenehmes Stück zum Hören und Spielen.

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!

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!

Third movement:

 

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: Hugo Wolf: Italian Serenade

During rehearsals we played this piece also at very slow speeds. That’s when I realized that the amount of harmony changes is staggering – Wolf must have been more than just your ordinary workaholic composer.

In this video you can see me as I run through the last movement of the beautiful Dvorak Cello Concerto. I am getting ready for my concert with the Orchestre de la Ville et de l’Université de Fribourg under the baton of Alexandru Ianos on May 5 at 17h in the Aula Magna, Avenue de l’Europe 20, 1700 Fribourg, Switzerland. Still some minor things to fix but I think I will be fine on the great day.
Hope to see all of you there!
