Haydn c major cello concerto III

[MrDanvahe]

suuuuuuuupppppppppppppeeeeeeee­eeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[vicho081973]

Wow mi pieza favorita de Franz Joseph Haydn. ; )

[jgbusquets]

I think that at 2:59 there is a bad note (at least, not a very good one), at the very beginning of the central theme. I'd like an expert to confirm this, I'm not a musician.

[jgbusquets]

@jgbusquets More exactly, at 2:56

[IliekPVP]

@jgbusquets Dear sir there isn't any wrong notes... its all good.. its just d minor with c sharp.. its all in urtext

[jgbusquets]

@IliekPVP Ok thanks :-)

[Mizzles240]

sorry but truls mork blows him away

[SkepticalHumanist]

I'm working on this piece right now. Fucking Christ I wish I could play it that well.

[plasticeric]

I would expect somewhat clearer and brighter intonation for C major concerto.

[asylumzero]

HOLY SHIT

[cellostar13]

To me, it seems a little sloppy here and there, but it's good otherwise :)

[cokkkies]

que chimba!!!! jajaja espectacular.

[rolfeder]

Yo Yo Ma sounds like an amateur compared to this guy.

[Kwert]

@callofduty497 The way he's doing it is not so much rushing, as it is feeling the scale within the larger beat as opposed to a rigid 4.

[fourplusseven]

@Kwert Agree he treats it like a line of grace notes.

[gooseiskewl]

needless to say, insta-favourite.

[tightbeaver43]

Even though I am watching this on a microscopic lap top I still get the urge to stand and applause at the end, fantastic!!!!

[mischamc]

yap he definitely ROCKS!

[MozartIsFancylalala]

This is wierd... it has a baroque orchestra(partly) and a modern soloist... make up your mind!

[Svatopluk]

@MozartIsFancylalala They are modern players, only the strings have classical bows. A gimmick I think, since their playing style is almost entirely modern. I do love it though!

[peres010492]

@MozartIsFancylalala Only the bows are baroque. The soloist's bow is not baroque, is transitional, though, from the classical period.

[pietalpha2]

compare this version with Chang Hanna's

[Jangof3tt]

This is my favorite recording of this movement, better than Ma's and Slava's imo

[yotubby123]

@Jangof3tt My two personal favorites would be Wispelwey's and DuPre's, because they're so different and playful. 

[Philboy50]

@Jangof3tt better than Ma's easily, but not than rostropovichs. he played thoose haydn concertos simply to perfection, alot stronger and straighter, just technical perfection. probably also a question of taste which one you like better, but objectivly i think most people would agree that slavas is better.

[dundunti]

gente uma hr vai cair a mão do cellista de tanto fazer virtuose!! nooooossa

[fchu]

aww, look at the orchestra's baroque bows! haha, that's cute

[pressyboy]

I thought the scale was perfect, myself...

[pressyboy]

In contrast to the orchestra, I thought his cello sounded a little too soft...

[cth12345]

pressyboy :

it's not easy to play loud but quick

[pbaron23]

Thanks for uploading, I hope you will like my verision, I worked alot on it.

[mariaimmaculata]

Very good, some little inaccuracies but nevertheless

[wysey100]

I see that was a baroque interpretation, hmm... I didn't realize there was so much folk to Hyden till I heard this. This is exemplary for many reasons.

[gl7226]

its good

but not my style

[CelloConure]

Are they using baroque style bows?

[iWyke2]

yea

[Schell77]

These look like modern instruments as best I can tell with this resolution. At the time this concerto was written, weren't the Classical period "hybrid" bows in use anyway? A traditional Baroque bow would be troublesome with this fast music requiring quick attacks and dynamic changes, no?

The wind instruments are obviously modern, not period.

[pikachoi2007]

I agree... 5 stars here

[EndeavourMorse]

Wispelwey absolutely owns this piece right now. Nobody can touch him.

[dissidencello]

An incredible cellist and musician, playing with a superb orchestra !

[luisca2007]

The best version of haydn in C on youtube!! Wispelwey is amazing!!!! :)

[DuoContinuo]

So think I. The baroque interpretation of Wispelwey and the orchestra is fascinating and more interesting than "classical" versions.

[Viscamo]

Great VIOLINS. and Orchestra

[ALcHeMiStX92]

either my eyes are decieving me, or do the violinists have baroque style (wierdly bent) bows?

[celloprof]

HA, knowing how the pros are, those are probably Baroque bow's from the Baroque period, hahahahaha!! LOL!!!

[letsruletheworld63]

they do look wierd

[xadlgx1]

es unas de las mejores interpretaciones de Haynd en C amyor que he escuchado

[NathanJayDog]

His bowing technique is something else D:!

[nickakdag]

Best Haydn in C on youtube....for sure.

[doctorgino2]

perchè il suo violoncello sembra suonare da solo?!?

[xxmaliciousintentxx]

wow the cello player's like awesomely pro. haha. <3 his expressions

[mhs6247]

Question: What kind of cello is that? It's smaller than others I have seen.

[BOMBISHNESS]

dang, haven't heard it that fast before. O_O

awesome performance :D

[chriseok]

I think Rostropovich and his students' performances are even faster than that.

[gunswiohdn]

this is sooo perfect

[mischamc]

really good performance.

[asylumzero]

Amazing interpretation!!!

[gumiproductions]

Outstanding.

[firebreathone]

I find it incredible that he know the whole thing by heart! :0

[iplaywithnoshoes]

This man, is a ridiculous cello players. He is close to perfect, almost comical, really cool actually. I've never seen a bow stroke like his.

[MikeDrewYT]

Holy god, his right arm is insane. The separate-bow rising line is literally one gesture. So period. Awesome.

[iWyke2]

This a period orchestra!

haha

I LOVE BAROQUE ORCHESTRAS

i think this is perfect for the interpretation of this piece

[chriseok]

Urm....Haydn was Classical....

[befryxell]

ya but very early classical...baroque instruments were still partially the style then

[anisometropie]

nice to hear a version with a smaller chamber orchestra, it sounds more baroque. nice performance !

[classica18]

haydn was a genius

[redshoes1000]

Okay, so does anyone else think it's wierd that the oboe player is shown so much during the intro???

[vessobesso]

Nah, the cameraman is in love with her ; )

[MacPhantom]

Pieter Wispelwey plays awesome, really.

But listen to Jacqueline Du Pré she may was the best cellist ever!

[halokev14]

first violin needs to loosen her bow

[Orchadorkcello]

They're baroque bows, they're shaped that way, so she doesn't need to do anything to it.

[balolin12]

its called a baroque bow for you information. hehehe

[PTCello]

This is so joyful. The camera work was done by someone who is neither a musician nor a thinker. A closeup of a bow moving back and forth is useless. But I digress. This is marvelous.

Everyone should have Rostropovich, who's the first, Bylsma, who is the best, and Wispelway, who is the happiest. I listen to this all the time, and have never grown tired of it, but the camera work is really annoying.

[blazingvirtuosity]

Anner Bylsma recorded this? I must listen to it!

[PTCello]

yes he did, and yes you must. It's amazing. He also recored the D major and the Anton Kraft concerto on the same disc. listening to the Kraft, it is impossible to think that he could have written the C Major.

[violatione]

Didn't Anton Kraft write the D major? I listen to a lot of Haydn and I don't think that the D major concerto is Haydn.

[PTCello]

Haydn wrote an early D major concerto that shows a pretty limited knowledge of the cello. Once he started working at Eesterhazy, he had a superb young cellist in house named Joseph Weigl. I think it is definite that Weigl helped with the writing of both concertos, because each is very cellistic and worlds more advanced than Haydn's early D Major. I don't think Anton Kraft could ever have written the d Major. He just didn't have the creative spark that permeates that great work.

[fortyfiveTjqsd]

lynn harrell's edition(with Neville Marriner and English Chamber Orchestra) is nice too. :)

[PTCello]

no it's not

[fortyfiveTjqsd]

no, it is.

[fortyfiveTjqsd]

lynn harrell's edition is nice. :-)

[fortyfiveTjqsd]

Pieter wispelwey is the best in haydn cello concerto. much more better than rostropovich who plays just fast and empty.

[a20008137]

actually in my opinion, Pieter Wispelwey is the best cellist on the world

[unkown00234]

at least for me wispelwey is the greatest cellist ever, :D, most alive music ever

[krazycello]

he makes it look so easy...

[UlfenDaddy]

I love Pieter Wispelwey!!! I'm going to hear him play in Colorado, cannot wait.

[emilysayshi1234]

nice bowing!

[UlfenDaddy]

Fantastic performance! Lightening quick, yet light and crisp. Notice the bows of the first violins: They are bowed outward, not inward. Obviously these players are highly trained in particular Baroque techniques, and this style bow is typical of Baroque playing moreso than "classical." It also has an effect on that light, quick playing characteristic of CPE Bach, Vivaldi, Telemann etc. Obviously it suits Haydn's style for this work as well.

[HARMONICO101]

In fact, the "baroque bow" was still used right up until the end of the eighteenth century even when the new "modern bow" was introduced. You'll also notice that there is a harpsichordist tinkling away at the back there.

[HARMONICO101]

Most people are unaware at how different performance practice in the classical era was compared to modern performance. like the baroque, vibrato was a little more occasional. Pegs for cellos were just starting to come around. Flutes were actually made of wood... Trumpets didn't have valves... etc.

[UlfenDaddy]

INDEED. The "recurve" bow wasn't really standardized until about 1800 as you note. Harpsichord for continuo in Baroque and later (as here, Haydn) works was never really replaced. The Forte-Piano could substitute, but a modern piano with cast-iron frame is just too powerful an instrument.

"Authentic" performances with period instruments such as natural (nonvalved) horns 'n winds are fun but I think a bit unnecessarily 'purist.'

[HARMONICO101]

Heh. Perhaps. :)

However, wooden woodwinds sound very different from their metal, modern versions. The dynamic and balance of the orchestra is almost completely different when you go back to gut strings, wooden woodwinds, etc. It's fascinating!

My channel actually has a growing number of pieces from the classsical period being performed on period instruments. Fascinating sound!

[UlfenDaddy]

Oh I agree; however the technical advancements (Boehm mechanism, valving, metal wound strings, etc) in instruments have been adopted and accepted by both composers and players for the simple reason that SOUND is the whole point of making music! While I certainly grant that a kind of shift, sacrifice even, is made in tonal characteristics (I deliberately don't use the word "quality") it is more than offest by the volume, tone and Accuracy modernized instruments have.

[UlfenDaddy]

The further point on that is also related to the environment in which performances are given. Smaller venues and chamber groups I agree benefit from "period" instrumentation and technique. But I do think the matter is kind of comparing apples to oranges: it's conjecture what Haydn might've thought about a Wagnerian brass section, but I still wonder greatly what Beethoven might've done with a Steinway Model D.

[HARMONICO101]

True. The developments in musical instruments were as much about changes in taste as well as making them cleaner sounding, or easier to play.

[HARMONICO101]

There seems to be a view that modern performance is better than period performance, when as you said, it's really like comparing apples and oranges.

I don't think there is anything wrong with playing 18th century music on modern instruments, but I think that we can and have learned alot from historically informed performance. Being really into history, historically informed performance is the closest thing we can come to time travel.

[HARMONICO101]

Period performance is all about going back to the source of the music. It's all about playing the music as it would have been played back in the day. It's getting back to the instruments and playing techniques that the composers themselves were familiar with. It's also about resurrecting the music of composers who have been lost to the ages, and resurrecting the instruments that fell out of use, like the harpsichord and viola da gamba.

[Natalejo]

I love Wispelwey!!!

[chobiv7]

his emotions so adorable.!

[UlfenDaddy]

Yes he is adorable! But this is the first time I've seen a concert cellist sit on a Steinway bench to perform...

[PhiliptheFace]

Amazing! This is my favorite version of this concerto. I also noticed something, and correct me if I'm wrong, but is everyone in the orchestra behind him (except the conductor) a woman?

[nofightsnecessary]

No, actually the French horns, bass player, and pianist are men. But yeah, a lot of women. Julian Lloyd Weber's is pretty good too.

[sowingseeds1]

I admire Julian Lloyd Webber so much, I had the chance to play with him about a year ago and mad to miss it through illness, very frustrating.

[Rinhos]

it's incredibile!! much better than Rostropovich.

[fedegr33]

It is really good but I wouldnt dare say much better than Rostropovich!!!! I think that rostropovich haydn is one of the best versions of this concerto.

[kpxmofu15]

i agree with fedegr33

[Michicello]

finally a cellist who does not use his technique to play the fastest possible ...

I like this way of playing haydn!

[cartmaninlove]

This is one of the things what makes Haydn respectable.

[WhyOweYou2b]

if you feel uneasy listening to this, it's because the lead celloist sucks. this is supposed to feel thrilling - exciting, not discomforting.

[WhyOweYou2b]

the lead celloist sucks ass. he's ahead of the team - chewing up time and distroying the instrument.

[beer1idiot]

Wow, I need to practice.

[aznmusicmaster]

OMG this is the cleanest Haydn I've heard

[renatocellobr]

@aznmusicmaster I totally agree!

[soccerfan802]

sic nasty..

[wmd10]

Such great emotion.

[bookishmuch]

what a great soloist! he is obviously having a lot of fun, and he's fun to watch!

[violalord1]

cellists, the advantage of the thumb.

[jonathantosio]

muahaha

[violalord1]

Yeah, rub it in. We violists will find a way.

[jonathantosio]

Viola and violin, imo is a harder instrument, just from the fact that it isn't as 'natural' to play (there are many more organic angles in cello playing), for example, you have your arms above your heart, the angle of your right arm fingers, etc.

I have much admiration =)

[violalord1]

that's why it's easier for us to move up instruments instead of a cellist or bassist moving down. All I gotta learn to play is the bass.

[bookishmuch]

exactly--isn't as natural to play, so you get more physical problems than we do! muahahaha!

[rarecellos]

It's fast, but that's nothing surprising- all soloists play it pretty fast.

[Pansy1980]

I play the cello. Music like this gives me goosebumps. It grabs at the soul and puts meaning into life. A pure heart can do nothing but truly enjoy this. Nothing compares to cello music.

[blackbook668]

I used to play the cello when I was eight, but gave up because it was too heavy to carry around. I might try to learn cello again...

good comment on music being good for the soul. Music is very good when your depressed and can make you more optimistic.

[lvzohar]

i dont beleave the speed is real

[Muaguana]

"i dont [sic] beleave [sic] the speed is real"

Believe it and shut up.

[violalord1]

Well as you can see, the speed comes from his risk instead of more his arm. But it is quite beautiful though. Great baroque instrument.

[125NYC]

wow just wow haydn is fast becoming my favorite

[sonata1992]

Haydn's great. Wonderful composer when you need a smile ;)

[captainethanwebb]

I love the way he picks up his cello at the end

LOL

[heaventreeofstars]

bravissimo!

[greenfields47]

Love haydn music.German music and germany at its best.

[jonathantosio]

Best interpretation to date.

[aaabbbccc5]

I can´t play that too!

[a20008137]

qué bien toca este señor! así se toca esa música, sin amaneramientos carajo!

[1234bassy]

Nice one, but not rhythmic enough

[TheOriginalEntz]

Haydn is not rhythmic enough for you.. wtf?

[TheTradge]

No, I don't think he meant the piece itself, but just the way the soloist interprets it. It does feel VERY rushed in places, particularly at the soloist's first passage, and the faster thumb position passages feel very rushed.

[csSpetzNaz]

he is doing that on purpose. thats the way the piece is interpreted to him and by him.and u have to consider the speed at which he is playing. thats pretty fast and yet i still think its his interpretation

[Debziewally]

oh my gosh!... this is awesome

seriously tho... this piece wasn't sped up... HOW CAN ONE FINGER SO FAST!

[stilliving]

what's the cellist's name?

[gpahdnon]

"About This Video

Peter Wispelwey and Violons du Roy (more)"

Peter Wispelwey is the name of the cellist

[celloser]

Exelente , Felicidades.

[Natalejo]

Can you put the other movements?, Wispelwey is great, I saw him in recital in Bogota Colombia and he plays wonderfull!!!

[thecelloking]

very good. I like wispelwey. He's very precise and controlled in his interpretations.

[ciavattarmy]

Haydn è magnifico....

[BobKy12]

Bravo!!

[celloboy81]

I know this is Haydn but I find his interpretation too simplistic, and the tempo a little too fast. I also don't like how he rushes the scales, although I know he is doing it purposely. His technique is fabulous though.

[brandoukov]

I'd like to see the 1st and 2nd movement first. I like the game-like play-around sound, but he looks far to serious when he plays :) it doesn't fit this music.

[CelloHaxxor]

He makes it look so damn easy! Crazy awesome!

[cellomusti]

Wonderfull.Best ragards

[kenkim5]

who says men cant have multiple orgasms?

[celloKebab]

Wow, his fingers, his hands... At places they move with such an incredible ease!

[handelbaroque]

Because their main repertoire is baroque - early classical.

[HaMoOhAhA]

Why are they using baroque bows? Wasn't haydn alive in the Classical era?

[CelloHaxxor]

I'm pretty sure this is a Barouque Orchestra.

[handelbaroque]

Indeed, it is mainly a baroque orchestra. But over time, they played more classical works... Their particularity is to have baroque bows but modern instruments.

[cellomusti]

harikasssıın yaaa

[mark9661]

Yeah how bout the rest if it???

[SejongDewang]

3rd movement very cool. Wispelwey plays it really "baroque" ^^

[mark9661]

how bout 1st movt

[elite1977]

increible!!!

[pbaron23]

This is the 3th movement!

[jacquelinescellist]

lovley i love his cello and the strings he uses amazing performance i almost like it better than rostropovich i like this guys spunk great work what an inspiaration.

[cacabeans]

cellos rock!
