daib0 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 On the fiddle No, not some kind of social-economic topic, or my dubious handling of any inter-forum game I organize, but daib0 here playing live on the cello …. It's a small ask coming up – and I know it’s nothing to do at all with footie, but just hoping for a bit of extra comradeship, shouldn’t cost you hardly 3 mins!! Won’t pester again this year, promise. You'll know I’m a cellist …. well, I’m happy to pass you the link of one of the most difficult pieces ever played on cello, just done. And I really enjoyed the challenge …! YOU TUBE David Johnstone plays Sarasate Aires Bohemios on Cello If you were able to share this link amongst a few friends & colleagues I would be very grateful indeed (‘cos it’s always the same, people think more visits = better, and to be honest that’s pretty hard to get on a ‘classical’ instrument like the cello.) … especially as I’m not registered for Facebook, LinkedIn etc. though I do make it on twitter. The thing is, people were asking for a close-up video to see for real, not the loads of audios which are already up on internet!! daib0 / David Sibdane and Lowensda 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daib0 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 well done. do you play in a symphony or orchestra? or just do solo work? Yep, orchestral life basically - here: https://twitter.com/orquestanavarra?lang=es now to be dead honest with you all, I took life a bit too comfortably between 35 and 50, where I had this routine-ish job to pay the house and bills in this regional orchestra in Spain that I'm afraid looks never destined to go on world tours - came to a point when I thought my time might be passing too quickly so the last two or three years I've taken the cello far more seriously, really thought I could push myself much farther and demand things from myself that most other cellists wouldn't attempt, though it might be just only be for personal satisfaction - and now? Just hope I haven't peaked yet, hahaha!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Flawless. I spent most of my uni time at the Royal Northern College of Music with my friends, I've sent it on to them. MikeO and daib0 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnh Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 David, very impressive. As one who comes from a musical family (but who didn't get the 'gift') I can still recognise quality and quality was there in spades. Well done. daib0 and MikeO 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Very impressive, David, especially the double-stopping. Like Matt, I have a strong classical music background and will be very pleased to share with musicians I know. daib0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daib0 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 thanks so much guys, amazed by your responses.

So what instruments do you play, Matt? Do you conduct or compose at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 So what instruments do you play, Matt? Do you conduct or compose at all? Matt plays the triangle, virtuoso level; it's a thing to behold! So he says. Sibdane 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue 250 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Noticed that piece of music was composed in 1878.........that was two good things that came from that year then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 So what instruments do you play, Matt? Do you conduct or compose at all? you expect too much of me! I wasn't a student at RNCM, but I hung out all the time with my friends who were. But, I do play guitar and bass, and I've written about 13-15 tracks, just never recorded them markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
