Brings a tear to the eye of us mere mortals. Bravo, Viacheslav! Brava, Natalia! Bravissimo, Maestro Mendelssohn!

First, I loved the music, of course, it is first-rate, but also, the photography is PERFECT! Face and hands of both performers and then camera LEFT THERE the whole piece. The angle is wonderful and the sound recording is great. Also, let me say that page turners are as appreciated by us viewers as they are by the pianists who need them! Hurray!

as a retired page turner, I appreciate your recognition

YES! great singing delicate and yet solid waw

Nagyon energikus csellista! Kiváló technikája van. A zongorista alkalmazkodóan kísér , kiváló művész!!!

One of the best interpretations available on youtube - why there are so many to run through as in a speed competition, already out of breath whereas others find the right relation of speed and expression? Love this interpretation!

True it is slower than many, but I’m not sure the music benefits necessarily, as it loses youthful, joyous, Mendelssohnian energy, and some other more agitated moments then feel sort of unconvincing, either too weak or out of place. The first movement does not feel “very lively”, as indicated in the score, but rather quite languorous. Even the slow movement is somewhat lacking in passion. Here is a contrasting performance that I like, though the sound balance could be better: kzread.info/dash/bejne/i3WLyduypsuapLg.html

@@matthewv789 And now a much better-recorded version from an album: kzread.info/head/PLx4GgC3hs6e2rVIk9P0jFiBbnTrZ3ubf1 (and across streaming platforms)

Mmm, Allegretto scherzando... Uwielbiam ten kawałek :D

Гениально! Спасибо!!

просто супер

In my opinion the best is performance of Viviana Sofronitsky and Sergei Istomin. Available on Spotify, if Spotify is available in your country :)

Here is another (newer) very good one: kzread.info/head/PLx4GgC3hs6e2rVIk9P0jFiBbnTrZ3ubf1 (also across streaming platforms)

I love the performance and the musicality, and other than some here say, to me the speed is spot on. The one thing that I dislike is that Natalia Gutman plays by heart - this is simply not done in chamber music, especially with the pianist‘s part even more difficult than the cellist‘s, going way beyond „accompaniment“. It‘s a bit disrespectful.

Pauvre Mendelssohn ! On dirait un 747 qui ne parvient à décoller ! La version avec Daniel Mueller et Jonathan Gilad est bien plus belle : ça chante, c'est équilibré et sans à-coups ; bref : un vrai bonheur !
