Listened to this work many times on CD, but it's not until you actually see it being played that you realise how much physical energy it requires. A fine performance by these two musicians.

I. Andante grave 0:03 II. Moderato 11:08 III. Allegro, ma non troppo 15:31

That epic gamer moment when you write something for cello and actually let them use the c string

I played the first movement of this as part of my auditions for music college. It has been many years since then and I don't play anymore, but hearing this still fills me with all the emotions and passion that I felt when I played it.

I really need to point out how OUTSTANDING the pianist is ! As well as Sol Gabetta, of course :)

Just the best Prokofiev Cello Sonata ever, Polina's Piano tones are rich, powerful and extremely Sensitive all at once and such a perfect match for Sol's powerful, rich and inventive Cello playing wow! I hope this performance gets released sometime very soon for HiRes download or as CD.. please

What a magnificent performance from both ladies, I forgot to breath !

Fascinating composition, outstanding interpretation

This place, this music...and Sol Gabetta wonderfull as always!

Absolutely brilliant playing! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It is a gift to listen to and to watch.

The power and the strenght of two young players, the beauty and sense of rytthm of Prokofiev.

When you think of all that Prokofiev has lived through and must express, I can't think of any other cellist who can bring out these feelings as fully as Sol Gabetta. All compliments to Polina Leschenko to keep up with her. Wonderful performance by the two of them.

Very nice connection btw Sol and the Pianist Wow

Magnifique interprétation !

This was an enormously terrific performance by Sol Gabetta, whom I expected such a level of fantastic playing from and Polina Leschenko, a terrific pianist whom I am thrilled to meet. I knew I'd enjoy this because I love Prokofiev's immense creativity.

A most powerful rendition of this great masterpiece. Never heard this better. Bravo.....!!!

Holy shit! That was friggin' amazing!

All is told. ❤ ШЕДЕВР!

A sonata I didn't know. So joyful and lyric - in line with the ballets and other theater pieces. (I can't figure out why the piano sonatas are so strident. I never listen to them.) Great cellist and equally great pianist.

Such fine control of dynamics!

Sometimes, when my ears are assailed by a particularly ugly bit of cacophony over a public speaker, I despair for the future of music. But then I hear a radiant performance like this from such talented artists, and my hope is amply restored. Many thanks for this and all your wonderful posts.

THE NON PLUS ULTRA SOLEIL SPLENDID: furious & beauty & stark.

I feel like the page-turner is the Western classical music equivalent of the tamboura player in North Indian classical music. Their main job is to be invisible in plain sight. Excellent job, page-turner! I hardly noticed you were there, and when I did, it was the camera's fault, not yours.

I feel this was a little rushed in places but was still amazing

1st movement. Good. Normal. 2nd movement. Interesting for cellists no doubt but I'm not one and I always used to switch off a bit. Not this timr. though. Fast. Exuberant. Wonderful. 3rd movement I'm not bothered how this excellent movement is played. Here it's fast. That's fine. Very nice. The performance is the best I've ever heard of this work. Two wonderful musicians.

A very intense and lyrical rendition by Sol Gabetta, indeed a great cellist. As for the sonata itself, it is beautiful indeed, but the style is less sharp than in his Pariis works. Personally I regret it somehow.

Bonjour, déjà (j'arrive par vraiment détester cette façon de s"exprimer") ! Eh oui !, on peut aimer le classique, et ne pas adhérer, automatiquement, à la musique de PROKOFIEF ; CHOSTAKOVITCH, aimez - vous ?.

I know that this two women are very good playing their respective instruments, but sorry, the only word it comes to me when I hear them playing this piece is "chaos". Ritmically very caprichious, too rustic (when the cello plays the pizzicati I hear only noise) and a very unpleasant cello sound, rigid and pressed (easy to see the muscles of Ms. Gabetta very tense). It seems also that they didn't rehearse enough together the piece. Sorry, not good for me.
