My name is made by you that can as nelly and i have deja vu chords meet you cant believe we have only four seasons stories yet music tournaments that go on for weeks with this huge challenge about things you should better check it out yourself. Theres. Been. Challenged the song about it was born in argentina she now lives in a small village near Basel Switzerland but she only spends a few days a year there often just quick stopovers. Most of the time shes traveling from one concert hall to the next and with her the instrument that has become a part of or one of the rare cellos made by giovani but he has to quote any in seven hundred fifty nine. Or doesnt speak rest assured his type of miss is the greatest difficulty getting it off the page while the score understanding the score in this is about the two how to bring it to life to the audience its important to go by them. So to go back to embalm back with conductor kristoffer bon ski and the bomb bag Symphony Orchestra for rehearsals and a performance of elegance cello concerto. To vic beasts with concepts preparing for a concert is the most exciting part but i could rehearse and write her not because i want to rehearse but because i always have the feeling now i could still see Something Else a different angle from this note from this piece from this intention and of course once you start looking theres no end is you going in not to go create. The the way. Maybe more so a decent person is in this on my business its very interesting you are animated by the music but the music is not our music the music is primarily by someone else but you must also have respect for the new music i mustnt forget im just a musician not a composer. On the seven and thats often the difficulty with interpreting losing you must make yourself the composition. But the music is still animated by who we are and our souls and above all our emotions. You hope it works on a. Roof. You. The synagogue and said this and limiting stick to the egg icon chatto is one of my favorite pieces you probably mirrors aspects of my own character because its very dark intimate honest and very direct. Lines and yes its a direct work but still very funny. So if you think the Second Movement of the elgar concho it might sound totally crazy but i once thought about it like a house with a large staircase. In animal house like your house. And a cat and dog running after each other and here i am feeling i dont know thats how i see it sometimes there are such absurd moments and the harmonies are also so unexpected. That. Some solace to the music theres opportunity to fold or abilities like they can do despite all they can play fast very well so they play everything fast or something you know and. They are not very forceful about doing music itself like they just kind of trying to show how good they are whatever an insult case. Even if she can play something solves the faster slower i thing that she always think about it the music the truth which is which is that and this is something i really admire because this is this means that shes really serious concision. Sort of better was born in the province of cordoba in argentina the daughter of a french pianist of russian origin and an argentinian economist with italian wrote i got better as have a long journey behind them the musical education of saw under brother andreas a violinist took the family from argentina to europe. The parents and all four children now live close to each other in the boston area today saw his oldest brother christian and his family are here on a visit im using for me things always happen naturally in life the motivation came from me but my parents were there and i think thats the big difference when its the other way around you could not get the motivation from your parents parents must of course support a child and this support was simply there for me. I am. Rather play the violin and soul sang all the songs and the rest played thats all i wanted to play violin as well since she was only two and a half i said she was still too small but i want to play the violin she said immersed i bought her a small wooden guitar but she wanted a real instrument so i gave in and said ok lets try the violin. I mean i remember how my father and my older brother were packing a windsurfing sail and they were holding i dont know exactly how to call the sails these boats shaped things. So it took the two rods and began to play like. He said was that she said i want to be like my brother. I want to play just like my brother. After that my mother scientific violin lessons and thats how it started. She probably wanted an instrument larger than the violin with them so she started with the cello. Chris is a bigger instrument i said ha well since my brother was already playing violin it wasnt a bad idea to have a bigger instrument id seen concerts with cellist and notice that the cello it was warm it was a bit like the lion of the string instrument family and i like that deep voice. Good findings of the fifteen is good to know when the cello arrived so was just four and a half years. For. The government to see each other as often as they can but often only briefly. Sol and her brother andreas had their first Music Lessons in argentina the family traveled back and forth between cordoba and buenos aires where seoul was taught by the cellist christine by their sky. Passouts will be a medical soul took part in her first music competition when she was seven years old their goal Christine Velasco was a jury member at this childrens competition she came to us afterwards and said im not a teacher im a soloist but id like to teach song she never took any money. Every two weeks we went to when a side is with the caravan we packed the cello and the violin and set off for a bueno side as eight hundred kilometers away you know how when a fight is good and. You know that there are those who want to see ike you said you had to practically drive all night to get there in the next day and then you got a short rescue and did some work and then went back overnight but i found allan not sure this that we do this for years not only for the children in the music but also in connection with my work because you know. When sol was ten she was awarded a scholarship from the newly founded to squareness appear to go to music art in a soviet Music Academy near madrid so souls mother and the two youngest children moved to spain while her father stayed in argentina with the do older ones two years later sold moved to the basel Music Academy to continue studying with her teacher even money get d. So the whole family moved to the basel region and was reunited again. I mean i could never have imagined that id hear so much Classical Music and that id live in europe if anybody who. Always open to new ideas saw became interested in baroque music and she and her brother andres founded on osama got better the community of the group is still very important to them both the ensemble explores both well known and less familiar baroque pieces in long rehearsals work that saul greatly enjoys even somehow these breaks are so important. Im getting longer. But. I think that. We have many similar ideas but also many different ones and the advantage of playing with so is a simplex we can say things more directly than we can to someone whos not part of the family has i mean sometimes i say well do it like this and she says no well do it like that. No yes no yes with that and then we talk it through you know what i have to say you know as dorky as i was i see you know the seat you know were going to. Highlight in the capella go about his repertoire is winter from vivaldis four seasons. The piece was originally composed for violin but saw the plays in arrangement for cello she was encouraged by her encounter with the Italian Chamber orchestra sauna Tony Dana Gioia awesome aka which introduced her to another world. For the cellist it was a completely new experience playing on gut instead of steel strings with a baroque bow. As well and i plough it was a nightmare it was very difficult on the cello i had never thought it could be played at all but disown authorities gave me the courage to do it this when asked about why i suddenly thought now i can form my own ensemble with my brother because he already has played a lot of broke music. Music. And. Yeah yeah. It. Gets. Yeah. Im sorry for him when i hope he had because i used to do a lot of things together and went swimming we have a bike we have played the pale. Primal beat or then the music started so we also had a family trio it was saw a mama a myself with a her whole thats how working with saul began and it stayed that way to this day are you. The complete im sort of. Seen before. Schumanns general contractor was on the program at the concerned about how in amsterdam. While preparing this complex work saul has a listen to any other recordings she wants to find her own interpretation authenticity is her greatest concern. For content is a very problematic piece for every cello player even when it was written that im all. For this piece so when no one wants to play because they find it too difficult not the they can get it to difficult musicality. Or not not clear and so since was creating the middle of Nineteenth Century in this country at the was really might have still four or four of the cherokee and i think its really the moment for her to play and to record it is peace. They are. After a busy season so it takes a holiday in the mountains while theyre parked on Christophe Mina organizes the menu and festival in gestalt the cellist tries to relax reflect and recharge your batteries. So she played about one hundred ten one hundred twenty concerts last season with another one hundred or one twenty days traveling. Sometimes even though i had of course there were rehearsals too so she was on the road for two hundred fifty three hundred days last year. We try to create a world outside of these concerts and of course thats not always easy we both have to get away from our work for so you know to go to michels myself almost you can even i love going to the cinema i love watching movies superman so shall we always connect this with a visit to the same bar. Or they are going to see a play you know and somehow that takes me far away from my own theatrical life you know hunt for mine and get out the strictly room. By thickening. Yes and yeah. Yeah. In two thousand and six so to get better set up our own Chamber Music festival together with christoph mina as manager her Hearts Desire was to have a home for her music in a place where she is also went on. To be whats coming up and. So this was a big festival does the idea of staging the salzburg festival is basically born at the kitchen table. You know winter of two thousand and six we were in old burg as a small farming biologist of basel and we noticed this wonderful monastery. How. About a coastal cities the clothes that im not saul everything has to go as quickly as possible by you and i was stuck took everything has to be fixed and its finished and so on and we spontaneously just decided that we put on three concerts there and she was her close musician friends in june two thousand and six. So well no i didnt. A special feature of this festival is its intimate setting. As International Soloists saul and the other musicians such as violinist by because greta who has arrived with her family are used to filling large halls and they appreciate the proximity to the audience. The concerts take place on weekends during a month in summer before the concerts they sometimes rehearse for ten hours a day doing what soul likes most intensively studying the notes in order not to miss any detail and even to discover something new in them lose. Lose. And. This is the one of them on the soloists enjoying the intense but happy time together during the festival. Ok. Sold travels to heidelberg for a performance of bounced blocks work shown almost. Physically much for i always try to arrive at the place where the concert is being held before one oclock and then i eat and sleep i need two hours of sleep before a concert my sometimes its more important for me to sleep than to rehearse in the hall i can get to know the hall in fifteen minutes but without sleep i dont feel like me i dont feel concentrated or calm my whole inner pulse is very active and i just dont feel well so sleeping and eating well are two important elements of a concert day visteon in one and concept. Here it has. Soul speaks through her instrument and as such just as when we speak we use a different volume different emphasis on the words different ways to say the same word thats what saul does with her cello that shes trying to perhaps a ok im playing it like the composer was playing it im feeling their suffering and feeling their joy and feeling their happiness whatever it happens to be shes going well beyond what the notes have to say and is searching for what they mean. Literally soul is not just reading the notes shes reading between the. Yes you play and sing the book by paper like a corral. Is a very spiritual person a very loving person whenever he makes a phone call he tells me stay healthy take care of yourself dont do too much this is probably actually why he calls i dont know sometimes he calls me and i wonder why he actually calls. On the sets its nice when people really just care about people and you can see that in his music and his music is his radiance this kind of a motion and thats why i wanted to him to write a cello concerto for me right yeah yeah. Give. It to. Me if you could. Get. It was a long way its like i asked him i dont know five years ago when i did and he told me i cannot just put it into my head now i have to write a cello concerto for you i can do it if i have to but i dont want to compose it like that in a school so when it happens ill compose a cello concerto. And i found that very strong. Now thank goodness his piece will somehow get into the hall this im very curious. To. Sort of eastern religion is you know anything. I hope i can still turn the pages sometimes i dont play a measure at the beginning i need to glue it down somehow but itll work so that. I know its. Because. I feel. Like. My greatest pleasure is just to be able to work with him and i also want to ask him why did he write it this way and thats not even the biggest problem if he has an idea about how it should actually sound difficult thing is to perform it. But if you. So at the beginning. The right. Ok ill do it. Very high you have to pay close attention to your fingers otherwise you lose it. But its not. The final evenings lots of practice it. Was my first time in a rehearsal and of course the first time ive written a piece especially for. The composers. Happy enthusiastic. And im very curious about the premiere tomorrow. Workin. Place with one hundred twenty Percent Energy in the rehearsal what will happen in the concert. Nobody has such energy and such passion like solid. I think that is something its interesting that many composers work start off very dramatically but pitted as his compositions are almost always the opposite and start quietly and then really explode and then return again to where they began almost as monochrome as my compositions usually start very quietly. Very quietly and then comes my message is that reason why im composing for a term of i just want to tell you something why does it have to be so fast and so chaotic too much real life slowed down to. Stop all. These few loose alongside this is so beautiful it was based on that is Something Special in our world but theres so much noise. When people are brought to this reflection in a concert theyre touched because theyve suddenly come into contact with themselves through this music and i believe that is precisely the magic of his compositions. But imo to interpret what he wants to communicate if hes happy then ive understood his message otherwise it makes no sense for me to play this piece. And if somehow. I did not want to have distance between the audience and my new second i want to bring them into the world of my imagination. I want my way of interpreting to have something of my search in it. I definitely dont want it to be a copy and imitation. Crab since pleasing maybe its irritating but what is actually happening is me. This is my ability this is who i am thats why im here and thats why the audience gets a piece of me a piece of my soul and she for mine.
