The concert is amazing!!!

I love this! Its so different from the repertoire I learned growning up, but so refreshing.

incredible that there was hardly anyone in the audience!

Fantastic !

Muito bonito lírico! ❤🎉❤🎉❤

I've never heard this piece before so I can't compare how it's played by other musicians. I will say it has a slight darker feel to it.

In 1980, as a US student studying in Paris, I got to hear Mstislav Rostropovich play this piece. It is one of my concertgoing experiences I will never forget.

Même en aimant la démarche générale de Lutoslawski, je n'ai jamais été "fan" de ce concerto. Je dois avouer cette fois que cette prestation dévoile pour moi toute l'homogénéité de cette oeuvre. Je trouve le parcours global très convaincant grâce à la sensibilité et la fulgurance incroyables de Nicolas Altstaedt et la bonne connaissance de ce langage par le chef qui dirige une oeuvre de son patrimoine national. Bravo à tous pour cette magnifique prestation !

Solid gold music by Lutoslawski and magnificently played by Nicolas Altstaedt.

reminds me a lot of a musical mosquito

Not music, just jumbled noises. Sort like the chatter from a mental institution.

Que maravilha de concerto! Esse cabra no violoncelo é descomunal! E a orquestra impecável! Muita emoção!

похож на Шнитке

This is the ery well behaved Cologne audience. I wonder if they realised that they've just witnessed one of the most exiting interpretations of the Bloch's Schelomo? Bravo!

Astonishing.

Πολύ ωραίο έργο! Μπράβο και για την ερμηνεία !!

Two geniuses

Excellent. Good old Lutoslawski.

Lutoslawski once said about his Cello Concerto that its about an individual vs the masses, the cello vs the orchestra as it gets quite chaotic and frenzied starting at 17:02 with continued attacks by the orchestra onto the cello, as the cello kind of laughs it off by playing quite calmly at 18:27 as if those attacks were nothing, then after continued attacks this eventually builds to the ultimate climax at 21:57 as the entire orchestra and horn section BLAST OUT one very loud single note for 10 long seconds hoping it would finally defeat the cello once and for all but they fail.

Super! Equilibrio e stile impeccabile. Grande lettura bachiana

That guy looks like he's been mewing before he was even born

It blows my mind how Lutosłwaski makes this entire masterpiece out of just one repeated note at the start.

Amazing. Not heard this before

Genial musicien. Composition extraordinaire. Chef épatant. Orchestre engagé !!

Excelente! Musica llena de sonoridades juxtapuestas, superpuestas.....dee enorme riqueza. Fantástico cellista!

A brilliant musician I have loved for years - Pekka - and one I just discovered last night and thought, as I listened to you play “I would love to hear him play with Pekka. I wonder if they have ever played together.” 😮 This makes me so happy. So much talent and creativity. ❤

quite delicious...

The cello wins in the end. Great!

.come on, is this David?~ 0:28-0:28 and 6:41-6:41 ... you got to be kidding me... nice playing though..

BIS...❤‍🔥...Altstaedt--> Major! G

Amazing.

Would you like to spend an hour or two on a Sunday playing some Bach Double? I have a few lovely friends who would like to make a quartet/winter sort of group to play around with this piece, and if you would like, it would be wonderful to do this together! Much love to you- missing you! Benji says the same! C

Wonderful!

19:26 glass braking😂 seriously I really like this concerto ❤

mhmm great music aus witch

Why am I getting Stravinsky vibe 🙁😬

Thanks for uploading this. Great performance! I was all sweaty when the music ended.

Preparing for the performance tonight of Sol Gabetta with Bamberg Symphony...

1:00 is a good place to start. ^

First time I hears this piece, and I like it very much. Wonderful cello performance

Not really a fan of the piece, still a nice rendition

hideous

Two of the most gifted young musicians on the planet today, performing a great masterpiece.

This is an excellent performance. It makes very clear this music’s not-so-subtle relationship to the genre of folk-tale set musically by Stravinsky in L’Histoire du Soldat, together with a million jokes Ravel throws in for good measure, and Kuusisto even overrides Ravel’s letter sometimes to arrive at their spirit. Both players’ technical standards are exemplary and I hear the ghost of Horowitz nodding in approval, as he put it: “Concerts should be entertainments, not lectures.” It’s not easy to make literary messages clear without becoming cerebral-ultimately this performance shows deeper understanding than more orthodox interpretations. Bravi!

19:17 Holy hell. Just wow

Simply one of the best orchestral accompaniments to any solo work for any instrument. If this had been the only thing Bloch had written he still would it be considered one of the greats. This work is written perfectly for the cello as I have performed at myself, truly a genius.

Very beautiful interpretation! Bravissimo , Nicolas !❤👏

SUBLIME! ❤👏👏👏

Extremely talented soloist, and great performance by orchestra and conductor. The “music” though is utter nonsense I’m afraid. It’s unlistenable.

amazing! is there a complete version anywhere?
