3.8.2024 Il grandissimo Maestro Antonio Meneses si é spento a Basilea. Aveva 66 anni. Lieve ti sia la terra, Maestro!

cette sonate me plonge dans l'absolu de la félicité... interprète remarquables ....maria joa pirès est magnifique comme toujours et le violoncelliste que j'ai honte d'avoir méconnu jusqu'à présent est superbe également ... merci....

Beethoven's raw power at such an early opus.

The first movement is epic

Pires fantástica, qué Beethoven más equilibrado. Bravo.

I really enjoyed hearing your interpretation! Very finely played! Thank you!

One of Best performance.

Pura gioia, grazie.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Maravilhosa interpretação!

A sonoridade do nosso Meneses/ violoncelo é de reconhecimento universal! Tinha de ser a M.J.Pires no acompanhamento...

Wonderful phrasing

Magnifique! mon père me parlait souvent d'elle... et oui, leur jeu est équilibré, c'est vraiment concertant. Oh mais, le deuxième mouvement, ce thème au piano me fait penser à une chanson d'enfant ! Une idée quelqu'un ?

8:52 best part

16:41 Rondo

Very good performance. Unfortunately I don't agree with the tempo of the first movement, it is too slow. They are thinking of it in eighth notes when it's actually written in 4/4, this causes the pauses that occur at the end (from 5:14 to the beginning of the second movement) or they are very long (if you count the time entirely) or they have to be shortened.

I absolutely love the drama of those pauses--and I love this tempo--so I have to disagree, although I'm open to other possibilities. 🙂

Rondo 16:40

Piano is too loud! Half stick would have been better. Recording engineer should have added a bit of compression. The piano sound is badly distorted in the high range. Especially when loud. Too bad. Nice playing!

I wonder if the audience had this impression too. My guess is that the piano was covering the cello a good portion of the sonata... But as you said, undeniably great playing!

Not true. Mix is perfect... Moreover, I never heard this pianopart played with more delicacy and lyricism than here. From the heart ! 😊👍👍😊

In the performance of this sonata by Richter and Rostropovich that's on You Tube, Richter plays with the piano closed. THAT is in artistic service to the music. The resulting balance is perfect.

What's so horrible about the technique? And who's technique, Pires or Meneses?

If this is "horrible technique", then I can't wait to see good technique. Can you please give the link to your recording? ;-)
