0% Perenyi and 100% Beethoven! I really like his rather calm way of presenting those pieces but not loosing any drama

the Hungarian flavouring is superb - it captures the spirit of the pieces perfectly. I feel like I am back in Vienna, when it was very much the cosmopolitan, Austro-Hungarian city of Europe. Superb performance, absolutely superb.

[@cellohood]

Greatest cellist of all time!

[@aronpetrusbolonicellist]

Alex Kramer and musician

[@misssarahashplant31]

Pablo Casals and Misha Maisky are fantastic as well.

[@barbavassilis]

one of them....

[@martinosimionato1536]

Hahahah no

[@ariadne4720]

@@misssarahashplant31 the Casals recordings have always been my "go to" for the cello sonatas, but I have to say, this performance hits my heart maybe even more. They are both superb, just different.

Zongorista és csellista, mindketten mély zenei átéléssel, érzékenységgel, fantasztikus techinikai tudással rendelkező művészek. Köszönettel és hálával az előadóknak és annak, aki lehetővé tette számunkra is ezen a csodálatos koncerten való részvételt.

[@한영자-b2x]

Cello performance that melts the heart, even the accompanists who makes the perfect sound, I think the two are fantastic combination.

[@JBPVIOLIN]

그러게요.

[@ariadne4720]

The pianist is not accompanist, this is truly a duet, cello and piano collaborate

[@한영자-b2x]

@@ariadne4720 okay, I understand what you.

[@henningviljoen5077]

What a privilege to experience this great concert during lockdown in my house in South Africa. Thankful!!

[@andrewsnow1933]

Perenyi makes such imaginative use of his thumb. Reminds me of how clever Daniel shafran was

[@johnpattan3763]

Oszinten gratulalok Amerikabol. Nagy buszkeseggel telt el engem, hogy ilyen kivalo magyar muveszek gazdagitjak a vilag zene vilagat. Sok koszonettel, eljen a magyar! Translation: I sincerely congratulate you from America. It makes me proud that such outstanding Hungarian artists enrich the world of music. With gratitude -- long live the Magyar.

you meant this comment to appear on some other video, I'm sure

[@m.robertwick5871]

I assume you could do better?

[@vladiinsky]

that's why even Berlin Phil calls him as a soloist :)

[@andrewsnow1933]

Fantastic instrument. What make of cello is it?

[@Jesuswinsbirdofmichigan]

Well, 3 hours spent and I just can't figure Beethoven and especially these two videos. He just doesn't make sense to me. The performers are great. The entire time this music just never meant a thing. Notes upon notes for hours with nothing more. I am sorry but this is just me speaking.
