Shostakovich Concerto n. 1 in E flat major op. 107 | Yibai Chen - Queen Elisabeth Competition 2022 

Allegretto 0:00 Moderato 6:47 Cadenza 19:28 Allegro con moto 25:46

Magnificent! Congratulations 💐 Thank you for the amazing performance. Your Haydn C was unbelievable, 3rd movement was full of energy, goosebumps all over when I was listening.

This Yi Bai is just fabulous. His interpretation n tonal quality of both this piece and the Hayden cello concerto is second to none. Another Rostropovich or Yo Yo Ma? Terrence Jayatilaka

un génie Je n’ai jamais entendu aussi bien jouer ce concerto Et l’orchestre :une merveille !!!bravo aussi au corniste :exceptionnel

真棒！

the best cellist in the world

The only one, who understands Shostakovich. His brilliant technique gives him the potential to transport every spirit, moving and dancing spirits or extremely melancholia etc. His flageolets are going to heart. The final movement is so breathtaking, you can feel all the life-essence of the cello player flowing in the music and burning for Shostakovich’s fate!

真棒

He holds an unchallenged position as an interpreter of Shostakovich He is a great Alchemist of Shostakovich’s music

Lingling of cellists

personally, I would have wanted the first movement to be a bit slower

초반에 오케스트라 계속 늦네

I'm guessing he's suffering on all fronts

So close to awesome. Wish he had better intonation.

this is painful
