Andre Navarra - My Cello Technique Part 2 (new English subtitles): Bow Technique & the Left Hand.

Part Two of Andre Navarra’s My Cello Technique now available with new professionally produced English subtitles commissioned by Cello Australia. This wonderful film provides an insight into the technical approach of one of the undisputed legends of cello performance of the 20th Century, the great French cellist Andre Navarra (1911 - 1988). We thank Maestro Navarra’s son, Michel Navarra for copyright permission to reproduce the film and his blessing to undertake this important project which makes these cello secrets accessible to English speakers for the first time. I would also like to acknowledge in particular my valued colleague Cecilia Tsan who is a former student of Navarra having studied with him for seven years in both Paris and Siena, who has worked tirelessly on the translation of this video and has provided many direct insights into Navarra’s thinking on aspects of cello technique. Also we appreciate the efforts of Anna Rex who undertook the initial French transcription of Navarra’s words and Odile Blandeau our professional subtitler. Project Director - Warrick Dobbie Best Wishes, Warrick Dobbie - Founder Cello Australia. ***The whole film consists of four parts and we are still in need of donations to help us complete English subtitles for the remaining two parts. If you enjoy Parts 1 & 2 please consider contributing to our GOFUNDME campaign which will make these treasures available to future generations of English speaking cellists - Visit: SUBSCRIBE to be informed when we upload the remaining two parts of this film.
