just love your interpretation of it. What a pity there's less than 2 min of it uploaded. Pls upload the entire movt! Love to hear it!!!

This is very nice. I just wish he wouldn't have that stand in front of him.

you are fabulous! your tone is soo rock solid and your dynamic changes are beautiful. the pianist, however, was so loud! it was very difficult to hear you at times. bravo, though! :D

Don't forget that this is a piano and cello sonata - the pianist is not accompanying in this piece. The instruments share an equal load and sometimes the cello should be in the supporting role.

I do love the cello, and am not running it down - but it is hard as a pianist to always be assumed to be accompaniment. A real collaboration requires give and take on both, and a diva attitude from neither.

My favorite piece. And yet my favorite performer.
