The best of the best performances

[@OscarRodriguez-ks9xm]

10 for the conductor,10 for the orchestra, 100 for the virtuoso!!

[@oppasat]

heartbreaking, sensitive performance, full of sadness, passion and poetry, I absolutely love hearing you play!!

[@fantasticmusic20]

Breath taking performance! This music takes me to another place and makes me feel alive! Incredible beautiful.

[@beatrusa]

How deep and beautiful is your playing!: Magnificent and so TRUE!

[@itismusic4life]

Amazing! I read all comments and WOW, I agree ! except R Yiengst about a "screw up". I am glad to know that this young man is still human and could have a little "slip". Mate, this is a "live"performance!!! I am not a novice in the cello repertoire - I heard "live' a.o. Casals, Janigro, Fournier, Tortellier - but I am glad we will never meet! Watch out also for Leonard Elschenbroich! Another gift from Creation. Such music making makes me feel a little crumb, but there are always people around who want to feel important hence those pathetic critiques! Thanks for uploading and sharing! Beautiful music uplifts the spirit, transcending all boundaries .... creating a better world! (My humble motto)

[@jonathanchan8627]

Personally, I think Benedict plays this concerto the best out of everyone ive ever heard. Like better than Du Pre or anyone else... just my opinion. He doesnt rush the pluckings or certain parts like other performers. His playing style leaves this tension but is also very soothing. It's hard to explain in my head but yeah :P

[@alricklothian6452]

I agree, I also like Jian Wang's performance

[@juliab.75]

Yeah I agree!!! I feel like du pre is a little over dramatic and I just like benedicts interpretation in general.

[@osvaldoferreira4988]

Fantastic performance, Benedict!

[@themanof2000]

His facials are just perfect lol! Great job!

[@michaelhardin1633]

Anthony Windle I've never heard a song sound so beautiful! :)

[@itismusic4life]

Such a grand performance! Thank you for sharing. The Elgar needs great technique and a deep understanding of Elgar's musical idiom, and this young cellist got plenty of it and more. Plus the sound of the 1680 cello. Amazing! Where and when was this recorded, and the conductor please? Thank you from Australia!

[@TheVaccumtube]

excellent young man !!

[@Rx-mn5fv]

Moving music played with intensity and dedication. Whatever the "screw up" at 21:24, the overall performance is still "A" in caliber. I am grateful for the chance to experience such artistry.

[@chapplovegood8728]

+Richard Yiengst The screw up was the orchestra's fault - they weren't keeping in time, he stopped and restarted to ensure the whole performance didn't fall apart.

[@muzmacol]

We English do occasionally get something right.

[@pissarronno]

Amazing cellist!! What orchestra and what concert hall is this?

[@dustpan458]

love it but my heart belongs to jaqueline on this piece. That does not take away from the fact that u played amazingly

[@prudence110]

This guy played it so beautifuly I am about to cry....only Gabetta and Du Pre played it that good! (the 2 last are better)but this virtuosso is amazing!!!!

[@erwinmatic5062]

August Rush movie made me search for this piece.

[@jonathanentenza1595]

Wow I didn't know Tobey Maguire played cello!

[@LJBSasha]

Very fine performance indeed - apparently it was done somewhere in Germany (looks like a Lutheran church). Where (which town or city)? Who's the conductor, and with which orchestra??

[@l.henriquef4033]

Good played.

[@iheventos]

Quem se atrasou aos 21:13 o solista ou a orquestra? Mas ainda assim excelente interpretação. Adorei!!!

[@MrYb4ever]

why does he vibrate in the wonderful first theme only every second note? That disturbed me, particularly in the first ff.

[@세체탐흑기사]

2nd mov :(((

[@InfiniteWisdumb00]

I make similar faces when playing.

[@muzmacol]

[@eliaskang2761]

You still need Germans to play your music.
