D. Shostakovich - Cello Concerto No. 1 in E-flat major, Opus 107 (Live) 

5:16 one of the best cello solos for sure

i love that you can even hear her fingers tap on the cello

0:15 Allegretto 6:55 Moderato 18:52 Cadenza -- Attacca 24:02 Allegro con moto

10:43 This might be the best chord progression I've heard in my entire life

27:36 Look at that Bassoonist smile, you can tell he’s been waiting the whole concerto for that moment. 😅

she's excellent for sure...but let's talk about Shostakovich...this is out of the world's music. amazing!!

composers like Shostakovich created art that no movie or novel or painting can contend; something about music transcends beyond restriction.

Honestly those of you going crazy here about her technique can be quiet. I know her fingers arent curved and such, but that is a tip to help you keep in tune, and shes perfectly in tune the whole time. she has great intonation, and if she is at the point where she can play this at tempo and in tune with great musicality, she doesnt have to worry about those technique things for one sonata.

That cadenza is some of the most amazing cello playing I've ever heard or seen.

Love how she just dances at 24:15! She's absolutely fantastic.

5:17 that 5/4 sounds lovely

there is no problem with her technique, her bow control is fantastic

Absolutely a superb performance by a cellist with indisputably solid technique and musicianship. Utterly captivating.

This performance is LIFE! I don't care what anyone thinks, it brings me joy. Thanks Sol.

Everyone commenting about her bad technique needs to close their eyes and listen. She is amazing. Musicality always beats technique. I believe that her take on the first movement is refreshing and individual.

I love how fierce the cello sounds as she plays the low and high notes through out this piece. The piece definitely focuses on the cello and grabs your attention throughout the piece with the different pitch being presented.

This horn actually played the notes right. Very difficult to do apparently, he should be recognized too lol.

Her thumb position playing is amazing. There are some wonderful recordings of her on RU-vid, particularly in chamber music. It is great to have her on the scene.

If you listen to is recording with really good quality headphones, in the softer sections you can year a radio broadcast in spanish in the background about soccer or something xD

As someone who's really interested on composition, I must say that this piece is beautifully crafted. The orchestration is phenomenal, and the melodic/harmonic/rhythmic themes are so beautiful and interesting. And the way Shostakovich pieces them together is just so creative. I must say I do like his second cello concerto more but still I absolutely love this one and both of his cello concertos are my favorite ever.

anybody else hearing radio commentary during the cadenza? other than that, LOVE this and LOVE sol gabetta

I,ve been so fortunate to play premier of his 15th symphony in 1971 or 1972 under the baton of his son Maxim{ what a terrible conductor},so Composer was there! It was in Moscow...amazing symphony!

C'est probablement un des plus beaux morceaux de la musique du XXème siècle et cette interprétation est magistrale. Merci Sol Gabetta.

Sol absolutely and literally nailed it!

Thrilling performance by an outstanding soloist and brilliant orchestra. The horn soloist plays with such precision and rich tone. Not enough superlatives.

Depuis *mars 2013, chaque fois* que je reviens sur cette vidéo, mon admiration pour Mme Gabetta n'a d'égale que celle envers ces concertos : cette richesse d'inspiration dans l'écriture de D. Chostakovitch - que ce soit dans (tous) ses concertos, ses merveilleux quatuors ou ses symphonies) laisse stupéfait. Quel régal d'être sensible à l'esthétique particulière de cette musique : elle *nourrit l'âme* comme le disait Gandhi... ☺

25:37 love her smirk after pulling off that demonic run

I agrre with the last comment. Her technique is not "standard" in the sense of usual cello teaching. But it works and results are excellent. Tempo is a little bit slow.

Wow. That's some lovely playing. That talking in the background was freaking me out. Glad I am not just hearing voices.

Es una pieza no fácil de escuchar en las salas de concierto. Agradezco a quien puso esta excelente interpretación de Shostakovich. Ojalá pudiéramos verlo más seguido en la Sala Nezahualcóyotl de México.

thank you argentina for sol gabetta, martha argerich, facundo cabral and other musicians i have yet to listen to

Je reste toujours aussi impressionné par cette virtuosité ; classe !

This piece is mesmerizing.

esecuzione al violoncello forte, decisa, perfetta per un compositore del novecento. Brava!

Just outstanding cello playing! Thee entire orchestra completes this piece. But I must say this girl plays her heart out, Bravo!! I play cello and only wish I played at this magnitude!

She is maturing into a considerable talent. The cadenza at the end of movement two was excellent

Sol Gabetta you are brilliant!

Janos Starker is my favorite Cellist. HOWEVER this woman’s Artistic Skill and Spirit is Most Splendid-Compelling-DEVASTATING

Excelente ejecución con una brillante Magestuosidad y arrolladora Maestría ; unido a un sonido de Excelencia . Bravo

Sol Gabetta, simplesmente genial. Um dos melhores Shostakovich que ouvi.

Best Concerto ever :-)

15:31 My GOOOOOD that part is awesome.

La primera interpretación de este concierto que vi fue de éste vídeo y hasta los momentos me parece una de las mejores Interpretaciónes

This is the best performance of the Cadenza *_*

This is one of my favorite pieces

Bravo Horn!

I just picked up the sheet music for this.... I've been playing cello for almost 19 years having covered some of the more difficult repertoire put out by the likes of even Apocalyptica and 2Cellos.... And having read/played through the first movement for the first time just now, I feel that even 40 hours a day and playing it slowly so I can play it quickly may not even be enough.... and may even have to practice 80 hours a day just to get it slowly period Wish me luck people while I journey on this most perilous and dangerous adventure for any cellist to take on!

Me encanta!

4:10 is my favorite part.

My favourite cello concerto and one of my favourite soloists.

5:16 Gets me every time.

she's absolutely brilliant x

I love hearing different renditions of this work.

This is most likely my favorite recording because of how the cellist can get the lower notes in the chords and double stops to speak so well, also the horn player is just amazing.

Brava Sol!!

Maravilloso!!! Que bendecida Sol.❤

I listen metal music and I think this is kind of metal

Best performed Shostakovich-Chello Concerto No.1 i ever heard.

MERAVIGLIOSO CONCERTO! GRAZIE!

awesome piece of MUSIC.. all kinds of music scores

This piece feels like a modern movie

This is a wonderful performance and the horn player is excellent!

wow, this is so beautiful!

There's something completely different about this music. Yes I know it's called classical but it's something unto itself. It's the antidote to boredom. It's impossible to ever hear it without discovering something new. Bravo Shostakovich!Bravo Gabettta!

Fantastic! Thank you for making this available here.

Almost the whole third movement of the eighth string quartet can be found in the first movement of this cello concerto

Linda obra, linda intérprete 👍

I remember when I listened to this music the first time in my childhoold. Its interesring how ugly music can be transfiormed in beautiful music by our mind.

Great performance!! 👏👏 Thank you for sharing!🤗

Great work! Great performance!

Quelle énergie !! fabuleux !

Remarkable Just Beautiful...

Wonderful performance and sound she has. Indeed she is hard working on the left hand.

I've listened also with Alisa Wallerstein at the Proms in RAH. Quite different but I love both performances: each on her own technic and style.

wow this is amazing!!!

This is amazing.

That was unbelievably good

Wanderful concert good rendition orchestra

Fantastic!

The composition is very good!

Bravissima!

Maravillosa obra !

She has amazing intonation

Just fabulous

I was surprised at the slow tempo and heaviness of the first movement.

Espontaneidade e leveza. Fantástico Shostakovich.

Perfection.

ショスタコービチのリズムと美しさがつまったような、見事な演奏です✨泣けてきちゃった。

Precioso😍😍😍😍

El de la trompa se ha puesto literalmente y al final ha acabado respirando donde no debía. Que shostakovich más romántico le ha salido!

que grosa sol gabeta!!!

Esta muchacha tiene mucho brio, transmite energia y furie asi es !!!! Y AL MISMO A LA VEZ TIENE LA SENCIBILIDAD PARA LOS FRAGMENTOS LENTOS Y DE DE UN FRASEO MAS PROFUNDO!!!

Love you Sol Gabetta 💖

Es el heavy metal de la música clásica

Es increible !!

Wonderful rendition.. Great camera work, too.

Amazing!

10:42 breaks me everytime
