Pau Casals. JS Bach Cello Solo Suite No.1

This amasing video was made when Pablo Casals was 77. One of the greatest cellists at all times, indeed. The depth of this performance is increadable. So much joy and power! Once he was asked about the reason why he was continuing to practice at his 90. The answer was: "Because I think I'm making progress". This is just coll, isn't it? Casals was not only a great musician, but also an activist and peace supporter. He made a lot for peace and human rights in the world. No matter how difficult it was, he always stood up for his ground and his principles.
He played even when the theater where the concert took place was bombed by Nazi airplanes. Casals simply stayed at the stage keeping on playing. And people didn’t leave the theater but heard further to his performance. It must have been surely one of the most impressive performances ever.
