Concert de Steven Isserlis i Connie Shih

La Fundació Pau Casals organitza cada any un concert al Palau de la Música Catalana per homenatjar al cèlebre músic català, de la mà de les interpretacions dels millors violoncel·listes del món. Aquest concert és una de les principals activitats de la Diada Pau Casals - Barcelona, una iniciativa que té per objectiu difondre el llegat musical i humanístic del mestre i donar a conèixer el seu vincle històric amb la ciutat de Barcelona.
Aquest any la interpretació anirà a càrrec del violoncel·lista londinenc Steven Isserlis i la pianista canadenca Connie Shih, ambdós dues figures de renom internacional. Isserlis és considerat per la crítica especialitzada com un dels violoncel·listes més excel·lents i virtuosos del món. Interpretaran una selecció de Sonates de Camille Saint-Saëns, Ludwig van Beethoven i Sergei Rakhmàninov, a més d’una balada de Julius Isserlis inspirada en Pau Casals.

Their Rachmaninoff is a ride through humanity. I have never seen a performance like this, unbelievable artists. Both of them.

Maravilloso concierto. Espectaculares intérpretes. Los mejores. Felicidades a la organización.

Today my life is quite kind to me for granting a tremendous pleasure of finding another treasure of Saint-Sean's cello sonata. Furthermore I got to meet fabulous couple of Isserlis and Shih who masterfully showed me the way to the musical ecstacy. What did I do yesterday to deserve this? Bravo! A deep, sincere gratitude to the uploader. Gracias!

Phänomenale Klangkaskaden, aufwühlende Emotionalität und Wucht , empfindliche Tiefen und unerhörte Abstimmungen im Zusammenspiel… Danke für dieses Erlebnis !

18:58 Saint-Saëns Cello Sonata No. 1 in C minor Op. 32, part 3 allegro moderato 23:56 The energy of this finale is insane, their hair is literally flying

Beautiful. Thank you!

We attended the Uruguay Symphony Orchestra in August 23' where Steven was the guest soloist. Breathtaking!

Fun, funny, never heard this before - cello is the right instrument!

[@bernardodemuro3692]

Qui Rachmaninov prende il volo per i cieli ultimi e disegna un universo di suoni che vanno dal mistero al sognante e pure al romantico eccelso. Rarità di armoniosi suoni del pianoforte e del violoncello, suoni che interrogano e dialogano: "musica degli eletti". Un'intesa profonda dei piani sonori e degli equilibri d'insieme. Strabilianti sonorità, un dipinto senza tempo da allocare al Louvre,

You played that encore with Bob Levin in Milan!

[@moniqueheidema1]

Anyone... What piece is the encore?

[@lukefer7579]

So much of the art of music is an attempt to feel the ecstasy of human emotions. But it is very much a second hand performance. Why not just fall in love?

[@vladiinsky]

"Ecstasy of human emotions" ? that's an interesting combination

20T Vs 100KG not fair

[@celloguy]

Haha he does exactly what he mocked a cello student for in a recorded masterclass earlier in his career, and in the exact same part of the Rachmaninov sonata! This is at 1:07:00 onwards - the little goat vibratos as he calls them on the two note motifs - vibrating only the second one.

[@jonatankaszkowiak]

Very good Steven, you are one of the best, you are not an npc cellist, close to you on the podium Roozeman and Shafran, golden trio, congratz. Rest " stars" are boring as fuck tbh.

[@bautistatitiro7994]

Roozeman, Shafran and Isserlis. All of them so similar in their uniqueness!
