Sergey Prokofiev: Cello Sonata / Sol Gabetta, Polina Leschenko

[@TommyNever]

Listened to this work many times on CD, but it's not until you actually see it being played that you realise how much physical energy it requires. A fine performance by these two musicians.

I played the first movement of this as part of my auditions for music college. It has been many years since then and I don't play anymore, but hearing this still fills me with all the emotions and passion that I felt when I played it.

I really need to point out how OUTSTANDING the pianist is ! As well as Sol Gabetta, of course :)

[@austinaudu9196]

Just the best Prokofiev Cello Sonata ever, Polina's Piano tones are rich, powerful and extremely Sensitive all at once and such a perfect match for Sol's powerful, rich and inventive Cello playing wow! I hope this performance gets released sometime very soon for HiRes download or as CD.. please

[@berndkru]

Fascinating composition, outstanding interpretation

[@thidsantos]

This place, this music...and Sol Gabetta wonderfull as always!

[@dansingmuch]

When you think of all that Prokofiev has lived through and must express, I can't think of any other cellist who can bring out these feelings as fully as Sol Gabetta. All compliments to Polina Leschenko to keep up with her. Wonderful performance by the two of them.

[@markchentx]

Sol Gabetta plays beautifully with tennis-player-like muscles.

[@pg8982]

As a tennis player, I must say I'm confused by your analogy, but nonetheless appreciate your attempt to compare the greatest sport on this planet with Prokofiev and Sol Gabetta's playing.

[@danielscheinhaus5210]

This was an enormously terrific performance by Sol Gabetta, whom I expected such a level of fantastic playing from and Polina Leschenko, a terrific pianist whom I am thrilled to meet. I knew I'd enjoy this because I love Prokofiev's immense creativity.

Sometimes, when my ears are assailed by a particularly ugly bit of cacophony over a public speaker, I despair for the future of music. But then I hear a radiant performance like this from such talented artists, and my hope is amply restored. Many thanks for this and all your wonderful posts.

I feel like the page-turner is the Western classical music equivalent of the tamboura player in North Indian classical music. Their main job is to be invisible in plain sight. Excellent job, page-turner! I hardly noticed you were there, and when I did, it was the camera's fault, not yours.

A very intense and lyrical rendition by Sol Gabetta, indeed a great cellist. As for the sonata itself, it is beautiful indeed, but the style is less sharp than in his Pariis works. Personally I regret it somehow.

[@mosaiques23]

I know that this two women are very good playing their respective instruments, but sorry, the only word it comes to me when I hear them playing this piece is "chaos". Ritmically very caprichious, too rustic (when the cello plays the pizzicati I hear only noise) and a very unpleasant cello sound, rigid and pressed (easy to see the muscles of Ms. Gabetta very tense). It seems also that they didn't rehearse enough together the piece. Sorry, not good for me.

[@donnewmeyer3133]

I disagree on every point. I’m a cellist, and I hear a magnificent sound. It’s a capricious work, and these players are stylistically sensitive.

[@trevorchan5203]

the connection between piano and cello is quite unprepared, but great individual work. i think intense is just her style tbh, and i have mixed opinions about that.

[@thomasneumaier4907]

She definitely looks very tense, not just intense. Her left hand looks strained and you can see how she how tension in her mouth
