[Mizzles240]

if only the cadenza was notated, i wouldn't have to learn it by ear!

[volk410]

@Mizzles240 But it's great practice!

[papagena1991]

beautiful potrait!!

[joncaju]

The period instruments and performance bring a certain purity to this music. Thank you, I really enjoy it.

[FRAGIORGIO1]

Thanks for this lovely performance!

[cellostar13]

Are you sure this is C Major?? It has a different tone to it...

[k73f]

@cellostar13 it's tune to a baroque A, which is a half step under our A today. Its HZ 415 I believe

[olbrimiolihen]

@cellostar13 it's different tune

[moonyyummy]

@cellostar13 it's a=430

@tmack1337 Kyletrue is correct however that the performance of this piece is indeed very Baroque. My educated speculation is this may be very close to an idealistic performance of the work during the time it was written. You can hear the Baroque style in both this performance, as well as the piece itself. Keep in mind though that the fundamentals of the piece are the basis of what would evolve into Romantic music. But still many conventions of it are Baroque and Queyras captures that perfectly.

[CicadaKillerMan]

@tmack1337, I would actually argue that when looked at from it's most true essence, this piece is NOT exactly baroque. Many of the ideas that make real "Baroque" music what it was had already been long dead by the end of JS Bach's life, and definitely when this piece was written. This is a transitional piece, into the Romantic period, rather, where ideas like personal projection crossed with public accessibility were stressed.

[ESZTERGOM99]

Is the sollo cello in the baroque fittings with gut srings ? Or is it modern cello with baroque orchestra only. Please describe........

[Kyletrue]

Very interesting interpretation. It sounds very Baroque though.

[meshuggahismylife]

Anyone know where I can find the Sheet music for the cello part?

[Iguitar212]

@meshuggahismylife

you can get the cello part and all other parts at imslp (dot) org.

[meshuggahismylife]

@Iguitar212 Thanks. I can't seem to find the solo part though... Do you know if they have it?

[meshuggahismylife]

@Iguitar212 Thanks. Found it, great web-site, definitely going to tab it :)

[Skez01]

Brilliant!

[BWV2000]

BAROQUE CELLO !!!!!!

[meshuggahismylife]

Love the sound of cello stacato.. :D

[DTfan43]

The GDYO is playing this for our first concert. I play bass for the Philharmonic section of GDYO. Thats the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra for those who didn't know.

[jessiestg]

go bassssses

[perronid]

I want the score...Is somebody who have to send me?

[MrsSluty]

wonderful bellisimo ...

[chiangee13]

Incredible... Jean-Guihen Queyras makes this sound like cake. Arguably better then yo-yo man, Rastropovich or even Jacqueline Du Pre. I prefer his interpretation over all of theirs. Hopefully someday after learning this concerto will I sound as great.

[aabaker22]

@chiangee13 I think I prefer his interpretation too, but I don't like the word "better". Too different to compare

[Hopfensperger]

Man, this orchestra sounds like nails on a chalkboard. Queyras is the whole show, really.

[HARMONICO101]

Not everyone likes period instruments in classical era music. :) But I certainly do.

[polymath7]

@HARMONICO101 I love period instruments.

[cirohp]

si no me equivoco es Queyras al chelo, con una camerata alemana...

[jonathantosio]

Harmonico, do you have him playing the D major? =)

[HARMONICO101]

I sure do! However, some movements are ten minutes, so some splicing might need to be done.

[jonathantosio]

That's ok! I really should buy his CD anyway. It would be well worth the investment ;)

[carolapitillo]

suena barroquisimo

[debartzen]

El equilibrio y la contención pueden conmover.
