This cello low notes sound like a powerful double bass. This is impressive. Also the horn player did a really good job, its not that usual to hear it played so well.

This is exactly how I want this concerto to be played. Wide, solid sound with tons of friction.

The music of Shostakouich speaks to the soul, gently, solemnly, , and sorrowfully

Capuçon is an exceptional cellist and I love his attention to articulation and precision. It's just always so clear in his phrasing where many just ram through those passages. Also, being quite of a short and light stature compared to some other top cellists, he needs that cut-through sound, his cello is formidable and set up for soloist action, I'm sure it can mellowed out for different purposes and sound a lot sweeter if needed.

Quel virtuosité, c'est magnifique, un immense merci à Gautier Capuçon. Que du Bonheur.

This and Elgar's have to be the most beautiful, powerful pieces ever written for cello

I love Dmitri's sense of rhythm, quirky sounds and somber yet sweet moods, played beautifully by Gautier & company. BRAVO!

I had the privilege of seeing Rostropovich play this on two separate occasions.

By far my favorite recording of this piece! I've been looking for a performance that was executed with such friction and force, the way I have been wanting to hear this piece, and I feel Capuçon has emulated that and more. Absolument spectaculaire!

How is this a major piece? Shouldn't it be C minor? I know I'm wrong but I'm struggling to understand how something as melancholy, isn't written in minor? Is avoiding the flat third that important ? - the internal dialog of a non-classically trained guitarist trying to catchup and understand.

@Spark-pv9js

Жыл бұрын

hi, thats actually a pretty valid question considering that we are often taught that major keys have to sound cheerful Since Shostakovich is a neoclassical composer of 20th century this concept wont really apply to him. Subjectively in his music, if a piece starts and ends on a note or chord (E-flat major), it can be considered Concerto in E-flat, even though everything in between is almost atonal. Take a listen to the start (0:49) and finish (6:59) of the first movement, and you will see that there is in fact a clean E-flat major chord. In short it has more to do with music theory than just feeling like a major key. Also, you can take a listen to Prokofiev's sonata no. 6 in A-major which is supposed to describe world war 2, similar story there

Whenever I’m practicing and my mom asks me to play something slow and melodic I always enjoy playing the last page :)

I wonder what the cellist's dynamic marking is at 2:11 ...? forte? It sounds like a hive of bees down on that C string...

It was not a memory slip, he went a little bit off with the tempo, so he had to adjust. It was a live concert after all. My concern is about the sound quality, it's his way and I'm sure he likes it, but sometimes he press a lot and some notes are so short and with so little bow that it's hard to recognize any sound at all. My teacher would say: "it seems that he is playing inside a telephone cabin". But of course, one has to be in the room to appreciate the whole thing. Imposible to know from a video. Open question: Who can understand what Gergiev is conducting with that shaky hand? 🤔

I completely agree. There are other approaches to this piece (Gabetta, anyone?) that employ those techniques, but don’t push too far into discord that the cellist does a disservice to the mixture of pleasure and dissonance integral to the intended sound

Don’t like the sound of his Goffriller - too rough - and not his staccato very near to the frog - too sharp. Prefer the performance of Johannes Moser and the HR Symphony with a furious final!
