Karl Davydov - Cello Concerto No. 2, Op.14 (1863?)

[@zanexiao4488]

Wow this is some deep obscure repertoire you're exploring

[@lexshadow4118]

What an interesting Concerto! I have never heard it. Wery beautiful. Thank you!

[@evrarddenis4491]

Merci pour vos partages!! Beau Travail. Thanks for charing your passion!! Good work!

[@alejandrodmsosa]

what a big sound that cello

[@solowcello]

Mendelssohn did write a cello concerto, at least the first movement of one, for Alfredo Piatti. Sadly, it was lost in the mail! Karl Davidoff wrote 4 cello concertos.

[@chrisfox880]

Never heard of this piece but I like it!

[@ryanschick9882]

much more inventive and virtuosic than the first

[@notnek202]

Why don’t cellists add this to their repertoire? We hear the same pieces over and over again in the concert hall time to change it up a little.

[@dunterriker3301]

I know right? After looking further into Davydov’s works, I found that the majority of his pieces are composed for the cello. He was also considered the greatest cello virtuoso of his time and played a Stradivarius that was later named after him! More cellists need to play his stuff!

[@fobo0053]

I'm a cellist (well student) and this is in the repertoire it's a classic of technical concerti so almost every cellist already learned it

[@notnek202]

@@fobo0053 I wish a Orchestra here in the US would hire you to play it but most don’t want to risk loosing money on a piece that might scare the public away. If it’s not Beethoven, Brahms, Tchaikovsky the public get scared off. I wonder if this piece has even been performed live in the States?

[@fobo0053]

@@notnek202 yes i know... That's exactly like that and that's really too bad... It has been played but at davydov's times... Never at our's...

Davydov was a director of Saint Petersburg Conservatory for several years.

[@aaronjorgefridman5662]

Bello concierto de un compositor hoy casi desconocido. La calidez del sonido del cello es profunda y sugerente

[@sleort42]

Yes, if Mendelssohn had written a Cello Concerto. But Davydov is really not too bad.

[@ЮрийСургучев-з1н]

Жаль что Давыдов почти не исполняем в наши дни ...

[@robmax7145]

I wonder why I can't find any information on who plays the cello, what's the orchestra and its conductor. Could anyone help, please? I think all of them deserve mentioning

Marvelous! Now....if Mendelssohn had written a Cello Concerto.....

[@grandmothers8041]

No, it's Davidoff, Davidoff Karl)

[@steveegallo3384]

@@grandmothers8041 -- You don't mean to say that Mendelssohn had NO HAND in this at all, do you?

[@dunterriker3301]

Stevee GALLO It would be absolutely extraordinary if he did. Mendelssohn died in 1847, Davidoff was born in 1838. Davidoff was 9 when Mendelssohn died, and began playing the cello when he was 12. So, I don’t think Mendelssohn had a hand in composing this
