Online Performance Videos

This is the beginning of a post that will attempt to be a chronicle of videos of all major cello works that have been recorded. IF you have a link for a video that is NOT here, please drop me a line. I am not just looking for a particular piece, but rather a compilation of different professional artists and their renditions of the various works. I have begun research in YouTube, and will continue to compile until that site is exhausted.

IF you have a video online somewhere (don't want to mess with hosting right now), please send link to Paul Fleury at cellopro@musician.org I will endeavor to include it if it is of professional quality. This is not a vanity post, it is meant as a compilation study guide for cellists to compare performances and styles. New compositions are welcomed, as is rock, jazz, new age, metal, world beat (see Miscellaneous section below). Do NOT send videos without consent of owners! They will be removed if found immediately. All videos contained herein have been found in public areas of the web. If you are an artist that does not wish their video to be included in this compilation, please tell me so I can get rid of the link.

This page is divided into two parts, the first for the classical repetoire, and the one right below it for MISCELLANEOUS GOODIES. This will consist of non-classical genre and oddball videos. Enjoy them both.

For all cellists out there, this will be an invaluable resource for study of the various pieces.

Here's the list alphabetically.
