Yuja Wang & Lynn Harrell: Brahms Sonata for Cello & Piano No 2 in F major

[@salvatoremartella5397]

Impossibile “tirare fuori” di più da un Violoncello!…. Brahms qui è SUPERLATIVO, SUPERBO!

[@75Chopin]

Wow, Harrell was over 70 by then? Still perfect intonation and amazing texhnique and flare!

[@johnminnich4107]

Those descending double stops in the first movement just floor me! Harrell makes the most of them. All the pizzicato sections are similarly gorgeous. This was my first glimpse of Yuja Wang; I'm suitably impressed.

She doesn't have too many clothes to mask your glimpse...

[@duwir5959]

They played also the Rachmaninov sonata together, really great.

[@AlamoCityCello]

Harrell is TOP FLIGHT!

[@peace-now]

Wow! The comments here! Would that I could play half as well as these two! I think the performance is exciting and moving.

[@alvarobitran]

Maravilloso!

I'm just wondering who TF in this world would dislike this

Thanks for sharing

Wang shows off Harrell is fullfilling his contract. This piece is a piano sonata with cello accompanyment.

critics criticize because they cannot do or have the guts to try....step up and give it a shot yourself and do better or else shut up

Alan Hodge that’s so stupid.

[@satoshionoe2539]

I think they don’t have hand, but have ears.

[@baronmeduse]

@@bossHogOG It's absolutely correct. Critics are roadside blabbermouths who complain about talent and effort because they don't have it.

I am a great admirer of Yuja Wang and I like Lynn Harrell as well, but for me this performance is not to my taste, especially because Mr Harrells playing is slightly short - breathed and he has a notorious behavior to end all longer notes with an unwanted accent especially in the first movement, which causes the music to fall apart into short, poorly connected phrases. And so Ms Wang, doing the best possible, cannot reach her usually outstanding level. Just my taste. Please note: I do not disrespect, I just disagree, maybe because the historical performance of Jacqeline du Pre and Daniel Barenboim is burnt in fiery letters into my mind.

[@L.M1792]

Chris Banyan yes it is very disjointed. almost like 2 seperate pieces. I have seen some wonderful street performers though.

[@salvatoremartella5397]

Si, ma il pianoforte è parimenti importante e di una “densità” pari….

[@L.M1792]

that's a terrible sound desk, terrible mix. you can hardly hear the piano.

[@wademanix8801]

Maybe it's your computer. I chrome cast it to my TV and the sound is great.

[@L.M1792]

@@wademanix8801 Perhaps terrible was an exaggeration, it’s simply the balance is off, the piano is lost behind the string. It could be the mic positioning is wrong for the shape of room they are playing in. It may be the flooring. Still great workmanship. Well rehearsed and wonderfully syncopated.

the piano is the loudest thing dude

[@L.M1792]

@@lucatuka The volume of your shirt must be interfering with your ears man, that piano is way too distant.
