Shostakovich - Cello Concerto no. 1 in E-flat major, op. 107 (Capuçon / Gergiev / Münchner Phil) 

Elgar’s is my favorite to play by far, the beginning of it and the whole third movement are so enjoyable. difficult not to play the whole thing espressivo or appassionato

Don’t forget Dvorak

❤️Thanks for the endless love and support you have constantly shown me in such difficult moment. I’m forever grateful. I really appreciate your unconditional love to me and every effort exerted by you to cause a change…Where are you watching from?

Mine is Dvořák but this is second

Et celui d’Elgar!

@@gautiercapucon804, what a kind and heartfelt response. I thank you. I am in ND, USA. Where are you located?

Pour moi c’est la plus belle interprétation de ce concerto! MAGNIFIQUE…

I would agree with that statement. This along with some of his ballet suites are the only pieces I like by Shostakovich. (And his Festive Overture). Oh, and his 2nd Piano Concerto. His symphonies though....😵‍💫they're just so ugly

You have to really know his live. I think, then you can understand his music.

Hoomeyow?

I think he's just enjoying playing the high note a little too much

maybe yet try dvorak...

@@jerzystruczak782 lol, I already played it. It is not one of my favourite

Вы слышали это в исполнении Растроповиче ? ?

Enescu Orchestral Suite No. 2 in C major Op. 20 Shostakovich Cello Concerto No.1 in E flat major Op. 107 Brahms Symphony No. 1 in C minor Op. 68 that was the program

It's a cello made by Gofriller. Very distinct sound. I can tell any if any recording is using this make of cello.

@@jaydenlamcellari5526 i mean that is a very distinct sound. the first word i'd call it is c r i s p y

A cellist I met, Julian Schwarz, uses primarily a Gofriller. He described it as “a grumpy old man” and after letting me play it, I agreed😂it doesn’t sound great at first, you have to really put in some effort to make it shine unlike other more well known makers

@badhairdye, Even with my untrained ear (I am quite new to Western Classical Music), I can make out what you mentioned, to wit, that this cello has a distinctive sound. Thank You for making explicit what I only suspected!

It's actually fortissimo. See ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i6rU9AYzCws.html

there are continuous trilled half notes for quite a few measures it’s usually supposed to sound like that

Shostakovich wrote Fortissimo!

To be fair, it's almost 500 years old at this point haha. It's been around a while, but it was made by a Luthier by the name of Matteo Gofriller, who is pretty famous for the quality of his cellos, which would explain why it sounds good still while being that old haha. Sorry for the wall of text, just a slight nerd then it comes to this stuff.

It’s a fabulous cello

It’s a 320 years old cello by Mateo Goffriller « L’ Ambassadeur » Made in 1701 !!

La France n'est pas (plus) un pays musical. Aya Akamura a remplacé Nadia Boulanger, JoeyStarr a remplacé Debussy .. etc ... La culture musicale des Français est au 4e sous-sol. A force de tout vouloir niveler par le bas, de tout mettre au même niveau où tout se vaut.

Je suis toujours étonnée par l’inexistence des commentaires en français!!!! Je suis d’accord avec le premier interlocuteur: où sont passés les mélomanes français car il y en a!!!! En plus là on a un magnifique soliste français....

Je suis entièrement d'accord avec votre commentaire. J'ajouterais la tristesse de voir à l'oeuvre ce qu'il me semble juste d'appeler : la décadence..@@francois-xavieresperance5007

hi, thats actually a pretty valid question considering that we are often taught that major keys have to sound cheerful Since Shostakovich is a neoclassical composer of 20th century this concept wont really apply to him. Subjectively in his music, if a piece starts and ends on a note or chord (E-flat major), it can be considered Concerto in E-flat, even though everything in between is almost atonal. Take a listen to the start (0:49) and finish (6:59) of the first movement, and you will see that there is in fact a clean E-flat major chord. In short it has more to do with music theory than just feeling like a major key. Also, you can take a listen to Prokofiev's sonata no. 6 in A-major which is supposed to describe world war 2, similar story there

I felt my heart drop 😂

He saved it like a champ!

It was not a memory slip, he went a little bit off with the tempo, so he had to adjust. It was a live concert after all. My concern is about the sound quality, it's his way and I'm sure he likes it, but sometimes he press a lot and some notes are so short and with so little bow that it's hard to recognize any sound at all. My teacher would say: "it seems that he is playing inside a telephone cabin". But of course, one has to be in the room to appreciate the whole thing. Imposible to know from a video. Open question: Who can understand what Gergiev is conducting with that shaky hand? 🤔

😹😹😹😹😹😹😹

Right? They sound gorgeous. So deep and earthy.

Why would it be cheating?

Mais c'est parfait pour cette musique.

@@ChollieD Peut-être, sûrement même, mais tant pis, je n'ai pas envie d'entendre cela.

Me complace así, precisamente.

I completely agree. There are other approaches to this piece (Gabetta, anyone?) that employ those techniques, but don’t push too far into discord that the cellist does a disservice to the mixture of pleasure and dissonance integral to the intended sound

He had a rest, nothing wrong, keep watching.

nothing went wrong there lol

Ummm excuse me? Nothing happened there.

that's how it's supposed to sound

However, he skip by half a bar a few minutes later, at the section starting at 0:04:30, which he managed to remedy after a few bars.

isnt this how shostakovich is meant to be like?

Honestly I rather dislike Mosers performance. The notes are just off in some sequences, and it feels like he put speed over accuracy. Also the horn player is in parts slowing down and playing the wrong notes, it's pretty irritating.

I agree. It's not communicating anything to the orchestra that I can tell. It seems self-indulgent, like singing in the shower.

Am here for the music. Am not a performer.

how was his right hand trembling

Sa main droite est juste géniale :)

Nah just different tone

You have that wrong

are freaking joking? ahahah

I'm sorry if that was a wrong thing to say....I don't know a lot, so do feel free to correct me😊! Also as this is a piece I hv heard a lot , I just felt that the instrument didn't sound as good....

thats just ur opinion. i personally like its tone, it adds to the intensity of this piece specifically

@@noxgabriel5987 it's pretty obvious that what I said is a matter of personal opinion and taste i don't see the need to point out something so trivial and obvious my Friend.

Have you ever heard this concert at all?

@@marioroveda5481 Too many times and this was not good.

@@kentkorre4026 ok, we have different tastes then. i mean, I've actually heard capuçon live with another orchestra, and i found his sound to be too sharp, almost harsh. But i don't dislike this version in the video.

@@marioroveda5481 It is funny because Capucon's whole reputation is that he has a better sound than most players. But his sound is just ridiculously rough in many pieces. His teacher Heinrich Schiff and colleague Mork can achieve a large sound without ridiculous sharpness

@@kentkorre4026 I agree but I try to at least look on the plus in that the cellists timbres were pretty unique and refreshing. However the orchestra was not really matching his energy and some of his articulations were a smidge iffy
