Shostakovich - Cello Concerto no. 1 in E-flat major, op. 107 (Capuçon / Gergiev / Münchner Phil)

[@andrefaustino5514]

This cello low notes sound like a powerful double bass. This is impressive. Also the horn player did a really good job, its not that usual to hear it played so well.

[@samuelwu9773]

About the horn player, you should listen to horn player in the Maisky version. brilliant

[@specialperson335]

This is exactly how I want this concerto to be played. Wide, solid sound with tons of friction.

[@JustinaBandol]

I was lucky to be in the audience. this was a gripping performance.

[@Mona-dk1yh]

Quel virtuosité, c'est magnifique, un immense merci à Gautier Capuçon. Que du Bonheur.

[@cellomalaysia]

Capuçon is an exceptional cellist and I love his attention to articulation and precision. It's just always so clear in his phrasing where many just ram through those passages. Also, being quite of a short and light stature compared to some other top cellists, he needs that cut-through sound, his cello is formidable and set up for soloist action, I'm sure it can mellowed out for different purposes and sound a lot sweeter if needed.

[@murtazahameed3833]

This and Elgar's have to be the most beautiful, powerful pieces ever written for cello

[@andrewgillett5411]

Elgar’s is my favorite to play by far, the beginning of it and the whole third movement are so enjoyable. difficult not to play the whole thing espressivo or appassionato

[@petelancaster6715]

so the secret to getting the octave Ds in tune at the infamously hard polyphony in the cadenza is to the have the octave frame of the hand well established before in the even higher positions, approaching 22:12, clever and logical

[@Danje1-MX5]

He saved it like a champ!

[@mosaiques23]

It was not a memory slip, he went a little bit off with the tempo, so he had to adjust. It was a live concert after all. My concern is about the sound quality, it's his way and I'm sure he likes it, but sometimes he press a lot and some notes are so short and with so little bow that it's hard to recognize any sound at all. My teacher would say: "it seems that he is playing inside a telephone cabin". But of course, one has to be in the room to appreciate the whole thing. Imposible to know from a video. Open question: Who can understand what Gergiev is conducting with that shaky hand? 🤔

I'm sure this is a very naive comment but his cello looks like it's on it's last legs. The wood looks so old

To be fair, it's almost 500 years old at this point haha. It's been around a while, but it was made by a Luthier by the name of Matteo Gofriller, who is pretty famous for the quality of his cellos, which would explain why it sounds good still while being that old haha.

How is this a major piece? Shouldn't it be C minor? I know I'm wrong but I'm struggling to understand how something as melancholy, isn't written in minor? Is avoiding the flat third that important ? - the internal dialog of a non-classically trained guitarist trying to catchup and understand.

[@Spark-pv9js]

hi, thats actually a pretty valid question considering that we are often taught that major keys have to sound cheerful Since Shostakovich is a neoclassical composer of 20th century this concept wont really apply to him. Subjectively in his music, if a piece starts and ends on a note or chord (E-flat major), it can be considered Concerto in E-flat, even though everything in between is almost atonal. Take a listen to the start (0:49) and finish (6:59) of the first movement, and you will see that there is in fact a clean E-flat major chord. In short it has more to do with music theory than just feeling like a major key. Also, you can take a listen to Prokofiev's sonata no. 6 in A-major which is supposed to describe world war 2, similar story there
