I heard this Saint Saens concerto for the first time in February 1967 in Carnegie Hall with Mstislav Rostropovich and the London Symphony Orchestra. Andre Previn was supposed to conduct, but couldn't for some reason. Gennady Rozhdestvensky was the replacement. Also on the program were a concertino by Lukas Foss and the Dvorak Concerto, also a first for me. I was still a teenager. I remember David Dubinsky, the labor leader, was in the audience. No live music, phooey on that virus.

He leaves for college & hopefully will join their music department! I started him in 3rd grade and that instructor saw his talent too.

Quelle belle soirée passée avec notre cher Gautier ! Je découvre ce concerto et je ne suis plus dans ce monde......Merci Gautier merci l’orchestre !

nicht auf dieser welt weind so schön wie ein cello not in this world does it weep as beautifully as a cello

How much passion in Gautier’s playing...

Perfect playing by everyone. I like this concerto when it feels like both orchestra and cello are moving ahead in the same direction with great energy and conversing as equals. Here maybe it is a little slow, with ample buttering, tempo moving and pathos by the cellist for a 20 min concerto. Yet it does all seems to work in the end.

In addition to the beauty of Saint-Saens' music, the HD quality of the video focuses one's attention also on visual details - which gave me the following thought. This was in Frankfurt, a city by now famous for its ethnic diversity. Good to see all those different ethnicities proportionately represented in the audience&orchestra, enjoying the city's cultural life. Oh wait, it's just the usual two (Europeans, East Asians). Oh well... I guess we do still have some affordable street food by way of a cultural contribution from some of those other well-represented ethnicities in Frankfurt, for whom there were better things to do that night than to come to the Alte Oper to listen to some shmancy classical music. We should all still thank them for *that* contribution.

Good to hear such a fine performance of this sometimes under-appreciated piece, one of the world's very finest cello concertos.

Unspeakably lovely. The cellist is phenomenal. If I could be reincarnated, I'd start early learning to play the violoncello. I read about Gautier Capuçon, some bio material. Fascinating. And I'm envious of his thick hair since I have lost most of mine. I love the way it falls down over his brow when he goes ballistic. So wonderful! And he is very gracious to his audience and the other members of the orchestra.

On dirait que Saint-Saëns a eu la prémonition de créer ce concerto pour violoncelle afin que Monsieur Gauthier CAPUÇON l'interprète. Il faut dire que l'orchestre symphonique de Radio Francfort joue d'une manière équilibrée à l'image de la répartition des artistes hommes et femmes qui le composent. Et le tout devient une magnifique pièce musicale sous la direction aérienne et éclairée de Monsieur Alain ALTINOGLOU. Félicitations et grands mercis à tous pour ce beau moment d'harmonie.

Alanin and Bruno have the best interpretation of this Concerto I have ever seen

I just noticed that subtle detail at 14:16, on the low C, he uses sympathetic vibrations to his advantage and adds a hint of vibrato to the sound through the 4th finger on the G string. Not quite sure on the specifics of the physics, but it definitely seems to work in varying the intensity of the note, even if it doesn't change the pitch as much as traditional vibrato.

Perform like you don't give a damn." In other words, it's not how long one practices, but whether one practices with attention and intention. Quantity doesn't always produce quality.
