Schnittke, Sonata for Cello and Piano (Part 1 of 3)

[aliakakis]

it's so hilarious when he has to page-turn... the g major chord comes one century later! but still, it's heinrich...

[adesiana]

How wonderful to find this performance. Like yesterday I remember hearing them perform this in Amsterdam, around 1990. Do you know where this recording was made and the date?

[fringelily]

I saw him perform this at the Sydney Opera House, and I'd say from th of the audience, it blew everyone's socks off. He was in a lather of sweat by the finish.

LOL 3:37

[GVeigh]

Beautiful, deep and expressive music, but the interpretation is too intellectual, therefore, too flat, too formal, one-dimensional. He doesn#t really know what he plays. The beginning is way too romantic. The pianist is very good, though. Listen to Natalia Gutman#s interpretation, if you find it - there is a whole universe

[motu828mk2]

At this point of level just say you like ot or not.

Dont give advise to these kind of cellists...

[CROMPZ65]

yes, let me back this thought with the heart of every true musician I know

[uhartchristian]

cannot find anything good in this music but it is well performed These two musicians are convincing.

[Kalagath90]

@uhartchristian: it's beautiful

you need to listen right

this musik makes you think....

[uhartchristian]

thinking is good but the heart and a real story is better.... well its my personal view, I have no universal right opinion.... yes it is beautiful because its well interpreted. and there are nice harmonies but.....

[Kalagath90]

it's definetly no music to make you happy.

but i stll think that it gives you many other feelings...

but sure it's a question of personal taste

[noirvalentin]

This is so beautiful. See you all at the Schnittke festival in London in November 2009!!!

[Amnesiabeach]

Piano page turner... unknown. LMFAO.

[schrodingasdawg]

Geez, that prolly makes the turner feel bad. Last time I went to a concert the page turner was mentioned in the program.

[whatthecello42]

Paul Gulda, any relation to Friedrich?

[lawrentii]

His son;)

[celloWiz10]

he makes everything looks so effortless

[Brutalcellist]

incredible execution! and probably gulda has a very good weed..

[RaRaLandEQ]

How?! How did he even conceive of making such scaring and daunting beauty??? :) I've must have watched this hundreds of times!!! ps. different style, but for those few who don't know about it, I''d also recommend Gubaidulina's viola concerto...

[mauricio1973]

Pretty funny moment when the pianist has to wait for him to turn the page at the end of the video. That piece has some tricky page-turns. Great performance.

[sciprio]

Maravillosa interpretación.

[olga2809]

I love this sonata, I already listened to it when I was very young. Young children seem to like 'modern' music better than lots of adults...

[dwinmary]

beautifull and very deep music. and very good performed. thanks. :)

[Michicello]

is this sonata nr. 1 or nr. 2

???

[John11inch]

This is the Sonata No. 1

[lovesGenet]

is this Gulda really son or granson? anyway nice to have Schnittke cello son here.

[onolennon8]

It's his son

[had9s8888]

thank you... incredible video

[lenochka222]

Very good rendition!! thank you.

[ulyssesjj]

Does anyone remember Gulda's father playing naked on Austrian TV?

[ppadrino]

very nice!, but metallica is better!
