Saint-Saëns: 1. Cellokonzert ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Bruno Philippe ∙ Christoph Eschenbach 

I am a simple woman, I see an attractive man playing the cello, I click...

Whoever decided on that thumbnail did an excellent marketing job :)

Bruh, even his tuning is beautiful.

90% of the time he has closed eyes. He just forgets he is performing for an audience. He does it to himself. He is the definition of true passion.

Seeing cellists like Bruno, Yoyo Ma, and Japanese Cellist Hiroki Kashiwagi is one of the reasons I start to learn cello this year at 35 years old. I don’t care if I am too old, I want to die knowing I do anything I can to make myself happier and be the person I want to be which is a musician 😊

He probably practices 40 hours a day

Came for Saint-Saëns, stayed for Saint-Saëns.... And the thirsty comments.

Still in his 20's, Bruno is considered a fast-rising star in Europe. It is easy to see why here. And, he carries his cello And bow in one hand.

That thumbnail looked like a greek/roman sculpture ..

I came for the thumbnail, stayed for the music.

2020 sucks but this doesn't. Thank you

Love that every musician genuinely looks like they are enjoying this piece and not just getting paid!

This cello concerto by Camille Saint-Saens is stupendous, and it's played perfectly by all here, not only the cellist Bruno Philipe is fantastic, but also the orchestra is superb.

65 people are jealous of his jawline

“Is no one a good enough friend to Monsieur Saint-Saëns to tell him that he has composed quite enough!” Claude Debussy

Every. single. time. I hear the cello, I curse my 11 year old self for picking up violin instead

He looks like he is enjoying and feeling the music, amazing

1st Movement 0:52 2nd Movement 6:52 3rd Movement 12:28

the youtube algorithm really outdid themselves

What a fantastic cellist! Love his playing, not overly filled with vibrato, really elegant. Superb performance.

sorry to break the news but this man is fully married and has a daughter i-

Came here for his jaw Stayed for his talent

Wow!! the BRAVO of the conductor shows how proud he was... 21:24

have i been stuck listening to this at least once each day for the last 4 months? *yes, yes i have.*

The sound is not coming from the cello, it's coming out from his soul and heart❤️

came here for Sain-Saëns but now i´m in love for the cellist.

clarinet and flute are doing such a wonderful job! having goosebumps every time they slide in

I genuinely don't know why this kept appearing in my recommendations, iit's not like I looked for similar concerts, but for some reason the algorithm thought that if it kep poping up, I would somehow surrender and watch it. And I did. Oh boy, I don't regret it.

That celllist is hot. Damn.

A total artist of his own kind. There's plenty of incredible writers and players but he just... Bless his mama.

oh god he's beautiful

솔직히 썸네일 보고 들어왔다 홀린듯이... 한국인 나와라..... 아...약지에 반지꼈네 잠깐이지만 사랑했었다

Nothing like listening to great music and reading thirsty comments along with it.

That man’s jawline could cut glass

*Oh no, he's hot (and talented)*

The music possesses him in s way I have seen very few times in my life... Amazing

If nature could sing, this would probably be the most beautiful song of her.

Un suono bellissimo

I'm glad I clicked, well mainly because of Saint-saëns but also for the thumbnail, stayed because his tuning got me on chokehold.

Semplicemente bravissimo, l'orchestra lo seguiva..ho pianto bravissimo

It's in many ways a beautiful young man. Very authentic too. He reach the heart of many people. It's a real gift he give to people!

Saint Saëns, Dvorak and Shostakovich number 1 are among my favorite cello concertos. I have heard dozens of versions of the Saint Saëns concerto by the greatest cellists of the last century and this century and I can assure you that this is the most elegant version ever made. This cellist is absolutely amazing! His sound is so warm and clear that it hits your soul. When I listen to performances like this, I can have faith that all is not lost. Bravo master!

The way he plays is very intensely, it's almost INSANE to think that that deep feeling and drama is coming form a cello (and the band). They create such a wonderful story with their instruments and collaboration.

썸네일이 너무 강렬해서 안들어올 수가 없었어요....

Even with a reduced orchestra setting, the sound production is incredible.

ok wait but hear me out That one lady has a GOLD FLUTE HOW COOL IS THAT

I became a huge fan of Bruno! What a precious musician!

If anybody have chance to go to one concert like this- pleace - go! This is food for the soul. All my life I'm listening electronic music,but classic music makes me really calm,happy and gives me all spectrum of positive emotions. And listen and see something like this in live performance - this is incredible)

Fewer people yet equally beautiful. Hands down my favorite recording of this piece so far.

i love this comment section. everyone (including me) is simping for this man

나 첼로 좋아했었네

I don't know what this piece was originally about, but for some reason it invokes the feeling of longing to be reunited with a loved one that passed away. Maybe Bruno just gave a very emotional delivery that lead me to this feeling.

아휴..좋다.....

This makes me miss playing music

This guy's cello playing truly hits different

I always click on his recordings when I need to learn a piece, he has such a beautiful sound and I love his style. I’m learning the Haydn concerto for competition right now and let’s just say I’ve listened to his video about ten times a day for the past few months.

Holy crap. I can't look away from this incredibly musical performance

The thumbnail makes it look like Tyler from Wednesday addams

I am going to play that concerto tomorrow in the City Town Hall of Vienna .. Brunos perfomance is a huge inspiration to me :-) So looking forward to performing tomorrow :-)

the best video youtube's suggested to me in this waking life

This cello concerto is a challenge for every solist but Bruno Philippe overcome all its difficulties. Excelent perfornance.

Why isn't this piece played more often? I had never heard it before and I cannot think why because it is wonderful! Cohesive, with that lovely middle movement and the recurring themes which bind it together. The orchestra never overwhelms the soloist and the cello part is beautifully written and stunningly played here. His intonation is miraculous and his lyricism but also his clarity in the difficult sections. I'm wondering if I've ever heard a cello play . . was it a high G? I shall be listening to more performances of this piece. It's always interesting to compare. Is that snippet of "The swan" that occurs several times deliberate do you think?

It’s so beautiful how he looks so into the music. It’s actually likes be singing or speaking out the music.

I was studying and I want to listen some music for focus but because of this man (Bruno) I coudn't help myself watching this video...

i put this video in the background when I am studying. I am amazed every single time.

But, why is the sound recording so good!!??

fantastico, musicista eccezionale, grande appoggio dell'orchestra che ha suonato divinamente, ma Bruno Philippe è veramente un grande! spero venga presto in Italia

Imagine people's heartbreak @ 1:18 💍

literally this man looks like him-who-must-not-be-named everytime he looks upwards. anyways he covers his nose the right way at the beginning.

collecting cello concerts....my favourite string instrument.

Saint saens a passez des sejours dans le petit village près du mien, quand je passe devant l maison qu il habitait j eprouve toujours l envie de la visiter et j aimerai que dans ce village il y est des celebrations pour lui.. J eprouve beaucoup de respect et d amour pour saint saens

Stop Simping and let us admire the music of the instruments flooding our ears with soothes

It´s practically a kid! and so FULL OF TALENT! This is amazing!!!

???: 잘생긴 사람이 있는곳에는 늘 한국인이 있다

I really like some of these young cellists and their attention to musicality. Even some of the greats just plow through this piece.

I’m not gonna lie… well I saw this gorgeous dude and well… I’m totally here for the music :0

Bruno's passion telegraphs off the screen. He is so gifted. Musician extraordinaire!!

It seems I´m the only one who clicked for the cello and not the cellist. xD

How I could not have heard this masterpiece before? Saint-Saëns is simply amazing!

The sound engineers did a wonderful job, or it's my secndy whiskey ; wow. It's a gift to be simple too.

Очень красиво... И оркестр, и солист - мои аплодисменты, спасибо за исполнение.

each note like a precious jewel that shines with its own light in each score, with each phrase in the story that is told, with passion, with love, with tenderness.

Bravo!

I really love people who play any instrument with their entire being and feel the music as he does .

Wow, his movements are fast and accurate .

I'm in love with his sound

the conductor mouthing bravo to him after the last note warmed might heart to pieces.

I love these new shrunk orchestras - the music gains in clarity and precision and this forms obviously a perfect background for that wonderful interpretation by Bruno Philippe, Christoph Eschenbach and the hr Sinfonieorchester. Thank you all! Danke!!

Wunderschöne und spannende Aufführung dieses spätromantischen und perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit mildem doch gut artikuliertem Ton des unvergleichlichen Solocellos sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt lyrisch. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Wunderbar und atemberaubend zugleich!

His tone.. my goodness. so pure and full.

geez not even a second in and i cried ! I hope the newer generation and generations to come continue to play these beautiful instruments.

Every single record by Bruno, you know it'll be the best record of that composition..

A long-time favorite with a fresh sound.

It's wonderful how the music becomes greater and full of emotions when the artist feels it instead of just playing it!!❤️

Wow the sound is so smooth soft and intense at the same time.. I can’t believe it came out from a single cello

Beautiful performance! I love how he still put the mask on at the end to bow before the audience. Very respectful ^.^

My first thoughts : "wow the cellist is amazing... 👏 " My wife's thoughts: "why the strings and conductor not wearing masks?!" 🤣🤣

ok, so now im gay

Un suono di rara bellezza, un'esecuzione espressiva, piena di passione e sentimento....Bravissimo.

I'm going to perform this one day. Look me up 20 years from now Mark my words
