I swear this man is making me fall in love with music all over again. His overwhelming passion for music is contagious, and to boot he has such a wonderful personality! People like him really give me the inspiration to continue to pursue my path in conducting and music education.

Really a wonderful watch! The detail of the "unnecessary" double string repetition is very valuable indeed, as it brings the correct surrealistic spirit of the music alive!

Truly a great music teacher --- Benjamin zander！

These are kids learning to improve their playing. It's not a technical lesson but a lesson in interpretation and sometimes even a lesson in being. If you have a quarter of the vital energy and positive attitude of this man then you must be a local hero. Zander is loved by musicians all over the world for who he is and what he generously gives others. If you're not interested don't leave disparaging comments, simply move on.

Astonishing performance. Nitzan Gal plays the cello flawlessly and Moriah Trenk is very inspiring on the piano. Thank you very much for this great performance.

Ben is so soo sooo inspiring to his student in this Debussy Sonata for Cello. Amazingly showed his passion in his artful teaching!!!!

Bravo booth of you, what a journey you bring us with.

Ben is unforgettable. He is perfectly abusurd and incredibly alive. Bless him.

what an interestingly strange piece. Thank you teacher and performers for the fantastic journey.

I must have listened to 10 different interpretations of this since I watched this video and was introduced to this lovely piece. To my ear, the Zander-influenced version of this is my favorite, especially the emotional parts towards the end of the first section. If anyone else knows of a favorite interpretation that conveys this emotion please share it.

You are not leading properly if your face is not getting red as a beet frequently. Mr Zander’s face is red all the time from his passion and exuberance. What a wonderful man and an absolute class act. I’ve known about him for a while now but never really looked closely at him. I am doing that now.

I am a little late, but thank you, Gal, Trenk, and thank you, Zander. There is something about this piece that drives me crazy, literally. I couldn't have found it without you. Also, I may have found some similarities with Cassadó's "Requiebros" in the second movement I believe, the Pierrot one. Cheers from Spain.

Thank you, Moriah & Nitzan, and Ben of course ! You took all the dust of this 100 year old piece and made it fresh again, exuberant & mysterious at the same time. What a joy !

Truly Amazing Teacher. And amazing students.

a Steinway piano sounds so beautiful even when its out of tune

Phantastisch !! Great playing and great teaching !! Danke : - ))

What a Articulate interpretation of Debussy piece! Wonderful and enjoyable…

Thank you

Zander makes finger liking music!

Does anybody know if the interview with Tortelier mentioned can be found anywhere on the internet? I'd like to see it.
