  • It;s a pity, this is a great concerto but rarely performed, overshadowed by the first concerto.

  • Shostakovich can be wonderfully depressing lol

  • Both cello concertos are my favourite for the instrument - and amongst the best for any instrument (I'm a pianist). But I'm more fascinated by the second and have returned to it regularly over the past 15 years or so since I first got to know it. Definitely needs to be played more regularly...

  • The best ever cello piece written and performed by the giant of cellists....zz

  • Indeed please load up more of this genius. he is the only muscian that makes me cry when he plays. Will there ever be another like Mila. Mila, is seems truly met the divine in his love of music

  • @lynnharrell Yes. Mr. Harrell. This is the premiere film in 1966, with Yevgeny Svetlanov at Moscow Conservatoire.

  • This surpasses the 1st concerto by a long way, it reeks of death and despair, I love it.

  • @wjsm5 of course it is, i have read the 2 concertos, and is really more complex, to the orchestra 2.

  • @0zerox0 yeah that's not true...

  • What a wonder to have this video! Is it the premiere?
