@aznmusicmaster I'm so glad there are others who think this, you're completely right - it's not a solo sonata it's a duo sonata and should be treated as such, either both with music or both without - it's like a string quartet performing with only the viola player not using music, it looks really odd!
on a more positive note though, cellist is extremely talented, and this is a very musically mature interpretation of the debussy sonata!
I played in an Orchestra for few years- as well as Noting countless Tv & live performances-- seems Fiddle players & Oboe players always dressed immaculate..but Cellists & Bass players didn't have a clue..One of lifes mysteries.?
Dear Nathan, I love your videos and I suppose you have seen my comments before. I am watching all of your videos and I think this is my 8th one! XD lol thanks for the vids! Love, Darlene
@aznmusicmaster fuck off dude. it;s nathan chan. he can do whatever the fuck he wants. maybe if you're that good then you can say something but let him be.
I must say that I normally don't like young cellists playing debussy because they normally lack the musicianship to play this even though they might be technically capable. You, however, are an exception :)
One thing to note: it's apparently bad etiquette to play chamber music without sheet music unless your collaborator(s) have the parts memorized as well and sonatas *are* duets :P.
@1Silvus1 Butttttt Yo Yo Ma's not even that good.

@r0ll0ut but also lots of more experienced cellists play it too, and there's videos of the whole sonata on here somewhere too.

@aznmusicmaster This piece is on the Grade 8 ABRSM syllabus in the UK, meaning a lot of young people play this...
