Dvorak Cello Concerto : Rostropovich Part 6

[Philboy50]

there will never be a better recording of this concerto. perfect solo cello and really great orchestra. alot of times a bad orchestra ruins concertos with a great solo cellist like rostropovich, but that was just outstanding.

[GA4N]

the inspiration of mr. R. is purely aesthetic , very clean like a warm shower in a comfortable hotel . . . modern standard for modern people . Just only main stream . But please listen Jacqueline Du Pré , and you will no more be able to finish your dinner . Your night will also be full of nightmares and sorrow . Good luck !

[ce1lo]

5:31 Totally sounds like star wars!

Anyone agree?

[200StringGuitar]

@ce1lo you mean......star wars sounds like this.

[CelloCello90]

4:08 una especie lamento esas notas agudas se oyen preciosas como vienen bajando bello

[CelloCello90]

3:48 una especie lamento esas notas agudas se oyen preciosas

[Bbobe900000]

What in inspirational performance. We can learn so much from Rostropovich.

[ilpianista89]

what an exciting finale!! it shakes you!!

[kevhsiao]

The most intense, beautiful cello and violin duet out there.

[MsVerlinden]

bravo vous ete un grand monsieur , quand a ceux qui n'aime pas reecouté le avec votre âme svp

[xbasket12x]

I can't believe this video barely received any views....this video deserves WAY more views and the Hip-Hop videos. But I'm sure people who listen to this kind of music won't bothering listening to Hip-Hop, they both just don't go together.

偉大なるロストロポービッチのチェロ演奏ありがとうございました­。やはりいいですね。ドボルザークのこの曲は、ミシャマイスキー­のCDしか持ってなくて。また時々きますね。よろしく!!!

[neatplants]

I really liked the first violin player as well

[jwunschie14]

This is the most beautiful concerto period, not just cello

[Vicarious1aj]

@jwunschie14 The head of keyboard at my conservatorium says the same.

[hagonamatata]

I have never heard anything like this piece.

[iamcello7155]

In my most humble opinion, the only possible match for this recording is the Harrell/Ashkenzy 1983.  So overwhelmingly intense and gorgeous as a whole.

[jin12345678]

what an amazing job from maestro giulini

[waverly2468]

@jin12345678

I certainly agree. Giulini adds quite a bit of passion and momentum to the performance but the tempi and dynamics never get out of control. Being able to do that is probably a lot harder than it looks.

[llyranor]

4:06 onward gives me chills.

[MrVincent537]

@llyranor Fournier gives me in this place even more chills. It is like a wide field with peacefull horses before and during the sun is rising.

[henryjoel07]

what a masterpiece

[JLWide]

There is not a part of this piece that is not beautiful. I am almost moved to tears. Is there an audience here? This looks like it is performed in a studio.

[davidmaligno]

A partir del 3:30 no puedo evitar llorar por la belleza de este sublime concierto, que sensibilidad por favor !!

[carl0zraul]

@davidmaligno te apoyo.. =D quisiera tocar cello para poder tocar este concierto jeje, tambn el de shostakovich

[Eejhunator]

point taken

[Eejhunator]

well, i think you are a tad unfair, beethoven's triple concerto is not one of his greatest and well known works. It was also written in his early period, so it sounds very classical with only a tinge of his style. The cello concerto on the other hand was and still is one of dvorak's best and famous works

[irpwny]

eejhunator: "i think you are a tad unfair, beethoven's triple concerto is not one of this greatest and well known works."

Sorry to rain on this party, but the triple concerto may not be well known, but it is unbelievably magnificent.

It isn't loud or over the top, but no other word can be used to describe it except "sublime."

:)

[Miguel18pss]

0:28 - 1:05 my favorite part

[sbutler0727]

My only complaint is that the applause is cut off at the end. This video should include a little applause I think. Oh well. I hate to admit this, but the Dvorak Cello Concerto is much better than either the Beethoven "Triple" Concerto or the Brahms "Double" Concerto. Compared to the Brahms "Double" Concerto, the Dvorak Cello Concerto actually out-Brahms (if that is a word) even Brahms!!

[ankeviolin]

bravo!

[zuza1711]

This concerto will always be the pure soul of my country to me.

[davidmirth]

@zuza1711 krásně řečeno :-)

[phoolisness]

but somehow the end almost seems joyful?

to me at least...

[yimbecile]

the violin solo sounds completely uninspired...

[redhotchiliangel]

God has a name: Mstislav Rostropovich.

[dicksonflying]

4:09 horn wif cello solo !!

[lmitt]

Of course, what can surpass from 4:00 or so on? This, as I remember the story, was Dvorak's crying out to his wife, who had died shortly before. So sad, so beautifully sad....

[Ly1212]

i'm pretty sure that it was actually about his wife's sister (who he rly had loved) who died & he was crying out about. Also, i thought that the 2nd mvt was the requiem 2 her. then again, i cud be wrong.

[frixyvlog]

@Ly1212 actually, it was his niece who passed away unexpectedly during his writing of the third movement, which is where he got the slow solemn section.

[neilwsmith]

@frixyvlog Not his niece, but Josefina Kounicova (nee Cermakova) with whom he had been deeply but unsuccessfully in love as a young man, and whose sister he did marry. It has been suggested that the slow violin solo at about 3:29 is a quote of a line from Eugene Onegin, the words to which go something like "Happiness for us could have been so close." The ending was deeply personal to Dvorak and he got very short with any soloist who wanted to alter it to include a flashy cadenza.

[uxnosidda]

best part of the concerto: 4:09 onwards

[beethomozart]

extraordinary finding this concerto although it's been said by some that it has reminiscenses of new world music what it really contains is highly spirited bohemian character, which ins pired the genius of Dvorak to write it, really one of the best concertos for this handsome instrument

[phoolisness]

one of the best?

I can only think of Elgar in this range

[plueful]

Barber concerto and Lutoslawski are also easily in this range... perhaps even the Britten Cello Symphony or Prokfiev Sinfonia-Concertante.

[phoolisness]

i shall have to check those out

[redhotchiliangel]

Prokofiev Sonfonia Concertante.

[gratiaDei777]

IMHO the best cellist ever playing the best mvnt of the best cello concerto.

[ipmoic]

You want to like, even love Giulini--but he's really a wet fish. He seems to suffer so-- even in the apotheosis of the last few bars of this inspired work.

Where's the joy, the exuberance that needs to come roaring out after the cello's last soulful arrival? Frustrating!

[DHcello]

in 1:28, that obeo player in Back look like du pre!

[6211945]

Anisometropie, You are so quite right.

Best regards.

[rcdnphy]

stupendous, magnificant performance by the great master Mstislav Rostropovich

[anisometropie]

[kwesicello]

[anisometropie]

I've always dreamt to play to this cello concerto, you're so lucky ! did you play with an orchestra ?

[kwesicello]

Yeah I did and it was really good fun! Doing it twice in November...aaaaaaaa!!!

[workingmansblues]

Musique sublime. Musiciens exceptionnels!

[Diernestov]

Wow!!! Simplemente...maravilloso...a estudiar!!!

[anisometropie]

from 5:20 , it cause me incredible tingles

[anisometropie]

I think this is the most beautiful cello concerto

[fiddlinmatt]

the duet is just amazing at like 30 seconds...

[tahileki]

Yes!!  0:38 - 0:45 is so beautiful I can't find words.
