Joseph Haydn: Cello Concerto No. 1 in C Major, 3. Allegro molto

[@Violedegambe]

His bow technique is just amazing...

[@Sarkomedy]

Matteo I know right, it is so effortless.

[@s.l5787]

His intonation is terrible and has sloppy articulations on his 16th notes in every music he plays

[@moravian7]

I cannot count how many times I have listened to this. Such joy. I always feel good after hearing this performance.

[@originunknown3209]

Absolutely phenomenal piece by Haydn!!!! And the finest rendition of it! Just spellbinding!!!!! 😌😌😌😌😌😌

[@denise2169]

Isserlis plays with such joy and love! His music makes my day! I would love to hear him in person.

[@andreakroll4940]

Die beste Version ever. Ich liebe den Spirit dieses Orchesters. Der Solist ist sensationell ❤. Diese Spielfreude ohne Selbstverliebtheit😊

[@zilkemalan1720]

Steven Isserlis is beyond brilliant! His bowing so effortless! I'm hooked!

[@CantataOnslaughta]

can't stop watching this. Isserlis makes the term "performing artist" actually make sense to me

[@cellosong]

The orchestra met his vision - fantastic playing on everyone's part! I love it!

[@laste668]

Some may think it's sloppy, but it is not. There is so much behind his playing.

[@vikramlothe1709]

TheRuinManiac He may sound like he is out of tune because Norway tunes at A=442, whereas we tune at A=440. He is actually playing with very good intonation, but some people may not hear it that way because of the tuning pitch.

[@nickdavis965]

@@vikramlothe1709 i figured it was. I have perfect pitch, it was usually every time he played a top note it would sound like it was a little sharp. I fogure

[@thenoobcrafter6781]

Some of his notes are out of tune but his amazing sound quality makes up for it!!!

[@aidanmays7825]

A better musician than cellist. Cleaner is more to my taste but he understands what really matters to the audience

[@lawrence18uk]

I think this is quite a good comment, and perhaps sums up many of the other (contentious!) comments and discussions...

[@BUD1970]

If I could have the ability to do anything or to become anyone of my choice before I die, I would certainly choose to be Steven Isserlis and play this great piece. My hat off to him.

[@hbourgeois1]

The cellist steals the show hands down. Bravo.

[@samdean5383]

So happy the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra concert today was rained out at intermission , even tho I just got there because I am now listening to all of the music I missed and have a resurfacing love of classical music😊

[@maryvonnelecaplain2665]

Incroyable il est tellement talentueux ! On a l’impression que c’est si facile ! Quel virtuose !!!!

[@krapoutchik1]

Vu ce week end Steven Isserlis et Alasdair Beatson sur une sonate de kabalevsky. Nous étions à deux mètres des musiciens, dans une grange, il faisait beau, une ode à Rostropovitch fougeuse, magique, une folle beauté!

[@brendabixter3055]

My favourite cello concerto by miles, performed by my favourite cellist. It is wonderful to watch Steven Isserlis playing. It never fails to move to tears of joy. I would have loved to know Josef Haydn too; his humanity, warmth and humour are so perfectly expressed in his music.

[@jdd3993]

Absolutely STUNNING. I am speechless. The finger work, the intensity, my goodness! I leapt out of my chair at the end!

[@ZiyaGL15]

What an elegance, humour, and such a creativity! LOVE U, Steven Isserlis!

[@pedinurse1]

Omg you can just see the wheels turning in his head, and he smiles, its wonderful

[@NicholasWingComposer]

A fiery and awe-inspiring performance with extraordinary precision technique to further augment the passion and excitement of Haydn's composition! Most inspiring, and I could listen to this performance endlessly.

[@BUD1970]

Very true. For me not a day goes by without listening to this piece over ten times.

[@NicholasWingComposer]

Still listening endlessly to this brilliant performance which never fails to brighten even the most downtrodden of days. Thank you.

[@lotusyummy]

I always love listening to all the instruments 'having conversation and talking to each other' and this orchestra has done it spotelessly.

[@warpworldwidellc516]

Amazing! can feel his finger dancing on the strings of heart.

[@taviyo]

Beautiful. What beautiful work. Haydn is so undervalued. Some call him square. I think the opposite. Thank you NCO for this work.

[@celestevillegas6679]

My 4 year old son loves this version. He’s listened to a few others but really prefers this one!

[@MrWoodCy]

Wow...That was outstanding. I was unaware of this mans talents. Lit the room ablaze!

[@denise2169]

I can’t stop listening to this!

[@andrewmildinhall8210]

Wonderful playing by a wonderful cellist of a wonderful work by one of the truly great composers.

[@anniestrong3096]

He always makes cello playing look so easy !......fabulous technique and wonderful musicianship, of course !..and he has plenty to share......

[@John-mg9df]

I don’t know anything about classes music, but if is pleasing to the, then 👍. This is utterly, utterly beautiful.

[@mihalisboufidis8998]

Speechless!!!! Stunning! No words! Who is the great MASTER? F. J. Haydn ausser dieser Welt!!! Incredible, unglaublich!!! Und Mozart? und Beethoven?.... Was Kann ich sagen?...

[@ShirleyKirsten]

Magnificent playing!!!!

[@adcockerell]

This has to be the happiest classical piece I've heard. (The lead cellist reminds me of Alan Davies.)

[@liamnevilleviolist1809]

The bow floating gently on the string at 2:03 for that sustained high D .... but it's so powerful.

[@Insperato62]

Third Lockdown due to Covid19. The streetlights are still lit despite it being mid-morning - where is the sun - it seems so dark. The streets are virtually empty and very quiet. But, now I can almost (I'm waiting for a knee replacement) skip round my empty flat where I live alone. A big smile to start the day :) KBO.

[@Insperato62]

9 months later still no knee replacement. No hospital beds due to anti vaxxers etc. but the crystal hanging from my curtain pole is making hundreds of tiny rainbows upon my walls. The idiot which is Boris, having his strings pulled by wife no:?? is making my old flat unsellable with his insulation policies, but ****** the appalling man on with the MUSIC......

[@TheMadamCello]

This is truly an epic performance. I've never heard anything like it.

Steven holds an unchallenged position as an interpreter of Haydn And he is a great Alchemist of the cello embodying the musical aesthetics of Haydn. Of course This orchestra's splendor of words can not attach it

[@iggyreilly2463]

As fine as the playing is, I don't like that the wind parts are being played by extra string players. The color is missing. And the associate principal cellist (one of the "wind players") is turning pages about every 20 measures. Odd.

[@StygianStyle]

The cello definitely needs help to shine amidst the brightness of the violins. Even with his own mike, his sound is subdued.

[@howardstark]

@@alicejeon45 You're still young, so your misinterpretation of the comment is understandable. Let me clarify: it would be "kinda mean" if the comment you had responded to criticized his playing; which is not the case at all. They were making the justifiable observation that the soloist's cello is merely being overtaken by the rest of the orchestra; nowhere did they "blame" or "criticize" the soloist himself. If that was the case, I'm sure they would've said it directly. Here's an example of a truly "mean" comment: "No wonder they chose to play this arrangement without the traditional woodwind section, or the French Horns included - - The man struggles to make any impression that he is, in fact, the soloist. Guess he needed all the help he could get, because if the camera wasn't focused primarily on him, I'd be struggling; as his fingers are doing a lot of work for barely any sound." You see the difference? Naturally, my example of a truly mean comment is not how I feel at all; I am just providing some contrast. 🙂 Take care, and keep practicing! 👍🏻

[@jonathanstallickhomeopathy]

Unlike many players who put projection as their main object Steven allows the audience to come to him a little. It’s a wonderful charming warm tone

[@AlbertoLopez-kq3ih]

Prefiero mischa maisky

[@cyberforte]

I think there's a wrong note at around 1:51

[@waynesmith3767]

OMG! A wrong note in a live performance! Somebody phone Haydn! BTW- not out of tune; they tune sharp and eat lutefisk in Norway- to each his own.

[@ethern3l]

Not a very constructive comment but it is so anoying to me when musicians make a point not to look at what they're doing. It's not that hard and can you imagine a pianist looking at the crowd or at the ceiling for a whole piece? I'm ok with gimmicks and flashy things if it's in the music but this annoys me.

[@gabrielhennebury3100]

From what I've heard him say in some of his masterclasses, he finds it's far easier to make an effective performance if you aren't locked into your cello the entire time. Not to mention that his hair would get stuck under his fingers if he looked down :)
