Dvorák: Cello Concerto in B Minor / Yo-Yo Ma, cello / Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra

[@GenevieveGrahamAuthor]

The look of appreciation he gives the principal flute around 19:24. So classy. So personal. I've always loved YoYo!

[@akacopernicus5320]

Sautille, ricochet and octaves on the cello?? I'm a violinist and it blew me away when he did all these difficult techniques. Also the audience clapped between the movements; sacreligieous!

[@seanfielding8209]

Perfectly reasonable to applaud after a blockbuster first movement of any concerto when the virtuoso has been particularly competent, let alone when one has just heard, in a small city in Canada, an inspired performance by the torch-bearer from Casals through Rostropovich.

[@TheRealCoryKent]

Nothing like these comments to make people feel like they're not wanted in the world of classical music. SMH

[@theresachen168]

@@TheRealCoryKent Quite the opposite, everyone is welcome and wanted here.

[@TheRealCoryKent]

@@theresachen168 I'm referring to the comment saying clapping between movements being sacrilegious. People who are not versed on etiquette for performances shouldn't be criticized or made to feel bad for something that is really not harmful at all. Clapping expresses joy and appreciation. Nothing pleases God more than Gratitude for His work. Comments telling someone or some people they are doing something heinous and awful would turn away many people. Thus, I stated, "making people feel like they're not wanted."

[@suzannebrokaw7885]

I play in an community orchestra, happen to be performing this lovely concerto this weekend - but I wish the audience WOULD be 'allowed' to applaud between movements! It gives the players a chance to take a breath, and every movement is worthy of appreciation!!! Yes, it's 'sacreligious' but those of us who are performers appreciate the .... appreciation!! :D

[@robertdaniels42]

For everyone who thinks the cello is quiet, are you listening to it on your phone? If so, I don’t think a tiny phone speaker can truly capture the range and expression of a cello. Try casting it to your television or listening to it on headphones. I feel like his instrument is pretty well balanced with everything else that’s going on. If that doesn’t help, listen more carefully or find another recording. Thank you and have a good day.

Guardavo un film intitolato "La diga del disonore" sul canale televisivo La7 e percepii subito il secondo tempo del concerto per violoncello ma non riuscivo a ricordare chi fosse l'autore. Per esclusione pensai che potesse essere Dvorak. E infatti la memoria non mi aveva ingannato.

Yo Yo Ma combines mastery of this fine instrument with feeling,passion,depth, beauty. I only wish that the cello was more prominent in this recording. Balance between orchestra and cello is way off.

[@Fernwald84]

I'm listening with headphones and the balance is fine. Besides, the orchestra's playing is of high caliber--strong front desk playing and conductor has equaled the 2015 Ma version with the Prague Philharmonic under Bělohlávek.

[@sheilalyons8148]

Needs a small extra amp under his chair. Does his cello need a tuning? Still world's best. No clapping between movements.

[@Apeskinny]

yea let's put a lavel mic on the cello cos that's how it sounds in an orchestra hall.. Way off is you having no understanding about sound and recording but still thinking you're entitled to comment... Here's some advice, go and listen to some actual real orchestras in real life and understand why the cello isn't be more "prominent".... And also, just appreciate the playing you heathen........

[@carolynwheeler8475]

@@Apeskinny I not only have listened to many live orchestra performances but my Father was a cellist in a major orchestra. I am very sensitive to sound and would say that y tube is perhaps not the best way to capture sound.

[@a-aron6133]

I watched all of the first movement, and then tried to skip ahead to the third for a few minutes (to see one of my favorite moments where the theme from the first movement comes back before the triumphant ending): I took my best guess as to where this might be in the recording, and I was very surprised when suddenly... Yo Yo had a hat!!! 🤠 My first thought was...”why did he put a cowboy hat on for the third movement?😂

[@CalgaryPhilharmonic]

Are you familiar with Calgary's White hatting ceremony? It's a long-standing tradition in Calgary, a symbol of the Western hospitality and good cheer we like to share with visiting guests. The white Smithbilt hat has been bestowed on numerous celebrities and dignitaries on their visits to our city since the 1950s.

[@tulayamalavenapi4028]

This is the first time I've ever seen the conductor without a baton. I had a father who was a conductor. How long has it been that a conductor doesn't use the baton? I dropped out of the symphony world many years ago myself. I still listen now and then, but because behind the scenes was a world of brutality in disguise for me, it's a rare occasion that I visit here. The best orchestral music floats on the top like cream, and it may never perish, like the works of the great artists, painters and sculptors. It's just that not everyone lives in the Vatican or Louvre day and night. I guess some of the great stuff was commissioned by royalty, and stayed in the confines there. I prefer great things made to deliver the mass of people from suffering, because if "royalty" is not compassionate or a well-wisher to the people, they will not be happy. Now things are changing immensely with Internet and social media. God is showing good people how to live a good life in spiritual consciousness. This could gradually bring huge change for everyone, and immediate change for some really fortunate good people. We just need to keep the faith strong and steady in our hearts, because everything starts with faith. Praise God.

[@racistlobsterofficial]

wdym the conductor is using a baton brainless fuck go and put your copypasta somewhere where it fits now fuck off

[@tita50575]

Se es de eg

[@suzannebrokaw7885]

he's using one in the first movement... Our conductor stopped using one for a while, I think he'd developed some sort of tension injury in his baton hand. It's not the baton, for me, that I watch, but his movements and I listen to our drum section for the beat - they're bang on all the time!! :D

[@atoms-to-atoms]

Not quite Jacqueline, but best rendition since!

[@emmanuelvacakis4463]

I know it’s a cliche that almost everyone takes the second theme so slow in the first movement but I just think it’s wrong. It’s not a slow movement and Dvorak has already written it slower by using long note values. I also understand that if you took it at the proper tempo, you wouldn’t get very far as a cellist. The same is true for the a-flat minor section which is the first theme. Again Dvorak has written longer note values, so it’s not necessary to take it even slower.
