Feuermann plays Saint-Saens Cello Concerto - Part 1

[nathan87]

7:10 wtf?!!

[TheLiakhovetskiBros]

Brilliant performance by one of the greatest cellists alive, Emanuel Feuermann!!  At about 2:44 the orchestra got lost and wasn't together, but it wasn't Feuermann's fault. Anyway, E. Feuermann still played it very well.

Sincerely,

genius as always. but i wish it was Schumann concerto.

[MrMoonme]

In europe some countries use a higher concert pitch such as 443 hz where as US is 440. I know Hungary does and Feuermann is Hungarian.

@MrMoonme Oy. I love his playing so much, bummer that he didn't tune to a440 :(

One person who has never played the cello before...

The best who ever lived without a doubt

5:13: Checks to make sure strings are in tune! HAHA In case there was any doubt about it being one take....

[dbpsoccer121]

so sharp! why?

[asdfghjkl3666]

@dbpsoccer121 Because it's an old version? I believe all older recordings are slightly off key and with a different quality.

I think that it is one of the best interpretations of this concert to that I have listened.

This is the De Munck, Strad, now loaned to Steven Isserlis. 1740c

[Elipito5]

@TheCourtwick and it is quite an instrument. I read in his biography by Annette Morreau that he paid 1000 pounds and his Montagnana for the Strad. Fair deal if you ask me lol.
