  • Bravo! Pure Brilliance!

  • Wonderful! Thank you for uploading this. Do you have the Vivace and Adagio as well?...

  • Ah, those were the days - truly a vanished world! I'm SO glad it's passed! Ugh!

  • yea...those were the times...André Navarra, Pierre Fournier, Paul Tortelier...but I do not think that today´s cellists are worse...e.g. Heinrich Schiff...

  • ooohhhhh I love the double octave of the harpsichord... what type of harpsichord is this??

  • Personally, I prefer this sonata when it is played on the viola da gamba. It has a slightly "rougher" sound, but some kind of a unique poetic intensity.

    Still an amazing performance on the cello, though.

  • INCREDIBLE!

  • Just superb!

  • the greatest of all cellists

  • Great master! Beautiful left hand.

  • Thank you so much cellocan89! As a former student of the great André Navarra, I am so happy and moved when someone posts somthing performed by him. Where did you find this? Thanks again! And yes, his little finger was incredible. We practiced hours to get a similar one. Some of us did... ha ha ha... but there was way more to it. To this day, I am so grateful to this great musician and pedagogue. I would not be where I am without him.

  • He could break lumb of sugar with his little finger. This is GREAT video!

  • That story about walnut is true because he actually practiced to do that with his smallest finger because that finger was important part of tehnique that he invented, he was not boxer but he did practice boxing there is a difference in that

    My dad was his student for over 20 years so that is how i know all this

  • Oh my god - where do you get these? He was my teacher in Vienna in the late 70's. He was a great teacher! Keep them coming.

  • WOW! An André Navarra post. A real treat! He has an interesting edition of the Beethoven sonatas. His fingerings are very idealistic and musical. I really like his vivaldi recordings. Fast trills! I heard a story that Navarra was also a boxer and could break a walnut with one finger!

    Thanks for posting this clip!
