Wow! I am blown away by this one. I used to think the Debussy violin sonata was hard to put across, but not after this performance. Pogostkina digs deep into her Strad, and Ducros is no less searching on the piano; the two are ideal partners, and their sound and videography are gorgeous.

[@hochrheinmusikfestival]

Thank you for your kind comment!

[@Dodecatone]

Little did the people at this recital know that they were about to hear perhaps the best performance of this work ever recorded.

[@opernballfin2886]

Debussy spent many hours in the Javanese kampong during 1889 in Paris Universal Exposition listening to the complexities of gamelan music. I can so clearly imagine that situation when I listen this masterpiece.

[@Huan-KyuKang]

O.h , what a breathe-taking ,marvelous performance !

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Jérôme Ducros on piano is worthy a whole bunch of compliments for his playing!

[@christianbrodiez5287]

Interprétation pleine d'élégance et d'ironie chez la violoniste , et pleine de sollicitude naturelle chez le pianiste .

[@jasondaniel254]

This is the best pianist I've heard for this piece so far.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

So true, Jérome Ducros!

[@savelieffarnaud3170]

this channel is solid gold. Sound recording is astounishing.

[@clarabobeara]

savelieff arnaud I tried finding similar sonatas but had to come back to this because of the sound quality

[@hjk8811]

Cant agree more superb recording

[@letitiajap]

0:02 1st movement 5:00 2nd movement 9:11 3rd movement

[@PeterLunowPL]

very impressive performance and truly great partnership , what a delight! and if thats not enough: a perfect recording,great balance of violin and piano

[@davismiller4369]

This is, unquestionably, the best performance I've seen and heard of Debussy's violin sonata. I own roughly ten recordings of Debussy's last major piece and not one of them touches this. Pogostkina and Ducros thoroughly and intensely reveal the genius of the composition. Astounding!

[@debussy1953]

absolutamente de acuerdo

[@Fr_OE]

Personally I prefer David Oistrakh's interpretation, but there isn't any high quality audio recordings of it

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Davis, I can nothing but agree.

[@frankie6954]

I'd be very interested in your opinion of the live performance of this sonata performed by Jascha Heifetz, in South Africa in 1951. It's part of a recital.

[@baibaandersson9454]

You must listen someone master maybe..

[@stewartmcdowall2285]

Beautiful performance in an equally beautiful setting!

[@tropicjam7343]

What a beauty she is

[@Seiluke]

Stunning and feels like heaven

[@burmesecolourneedles4680]

Masterful, exquisite, such wonderful poise and expression!

[@mehmetiksel257]

Fabulous! Debussy's sonata is here, modern, without the cobwebs. Bravo for both musicians but Alina's performance is outstanding. She capts sounds which take us back to Debussy's primeval nature.

[@haimlevy654]

both are playing for all those who built the place, its art too ,they deserve recognition.

[@alastairboles4437]

Very beautiful, very fine playing by both musicians

[@staffanolofsson8201]

Beautiful playing by a beautiful lady. Alina Pogostkina is so good in interpreting Debussy in this.

[@GerSHAK]

Beautiful piece and performance. Thanks so much for the upload

[@brunolelissantos1116]

AMAZING! For a long long time I haven't found a performace such awesome like that. Bravi.

[@killianholubowicz327]

this is a masterpiece thanks for sharing

[@gonzalovaldivia3835]

ducros and pogostkina are amazing. alina is wonderful to listen to and to watch too.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

苦しみと悲しみと絶望と全ての負の塊を吹き飛ばす絶妙な技巧による名曲です。

[@victorireland8913]

Collaborative sheer genius. Both share an awareness of celebratory delight as their respective talents come to fruition in this special performance.

[@paoloantunes1283]

Even though the setting is not the ideal one to match up with the music the performance is so GOOD it stands out - that even the saints get into the Debussy groove

[@tomjohn8733]

Very nice duo...

[@javiervega1399]

Hermosa Sonata de Debussy, interpretada con toda su belleza y emoción!!!

[@nicolasheroify]

Une interpretation sublime de cette pièce très difficile, et un grand bravo aussi au tonmeister.

[@boedisusetyo303]

[@Zara_Insp]

Здесь прекрасно все! И музыка, и исполнение, и визуал!!!

[@dansingmuch]

Alina Pogostkina sounds so wonderful!

[@alfredoarruda2988]

Thanks from Brasil

[@Solonusse]

Debussy merveilleusement servi !

[@staffanolofsson8201]

I hold this as Debussys best composition, not regarding the orchestral works. And in this wonderful sonata I find Alina Pogostkina and Jerome Ducros the best suited to make this sonata come into full bloom.

[@lovelylisfamily6466]

People who disliked it do not know music! This is perfection

[@roberthuber5589]

Bravissimo 😀

[@larryoconnor7627]

[@mushroomhunter3392]

10:37-11:20 makes me lose my balance from the joy!

[@nickyork8901]

Wonderful performance, up there with Ginette Neveu - and that is saying something.

[@JamesLee-yn4wj]

This video has the most amount of ads I’ve ever experienced on a video

[@z.a.m.7347]

Divina combinatie :violin si piano.Nici la asta nu m am gandit

[@ViolinfanaticOriginal]

Wow, this is very close to Midori's interpretation. Love it!

[@NareshNaresh-lr9nq]

Possibly they are violinists n being jealous, that's why they put their thumbs down n may be they don't fit themselves to perform like such

[@dprksongmoranbongbandskito1193]

Wonderful music. But Debussy in a church ?

[@Rickriquinho]

They have a microphone problem. We don't want to hear her breathing...
