This is my favourite performance of this piece. I love this much more than the playing of many famous "cellist stars". This is so full of joy and love for music. Unforgettable performance.
Absolutely lovely. He plays Haydn with full of joy..... wonderfully curated, creative articulation.. and the communication with orchestra. I love everything about this performance.
Just magnificent 🎉 My personal favourite version of Haydn C, full of energy, and the clarity of each note is just unbelievable, as well as the intonation, and the phrasing, I've been listening to it for almost everyday. Congratulations, big time 💐
@@christinetran6805 Which Slava performance is your favorite? I just watched this one ruclips.net/video/A2jE917QiPM/видео.htmlsi=HmaycsYJsS0Cgb0k They have very different styles. While I respect Rostropovich as a technician, I often find his style a bit too...mechanical? I did enjoy watching the video that I linked above. He has an incredible bow hand; seems to have equal capability on both up and down strokes. In this way, he resembles Heifetz. I may not be correct in saying this, but I often find musicality and technical prowess to be on opposites sides of a spectrum. What I love about Yibai's performance is that he breaks this "dilemma", takes both qualities, and pushes them to near maximum. Btw, the recording of Daniell Muller Schott that I was referring to in the original comment is this one: ruclips.net/video/FE84dKDxeKM/видео.htmlsi=cy2M5VXVJcQ1BphT I saw you also replied to my comment on Hayoung Choi's video. My issue with her playing is that it's nowhere near as beautiful as her facial expressions and body movements want you to believe. I understand part of what makes a soloist successful is visual communication, but I prefer to evaluate a performer's skill through my ears only. Choi's bow strokes are harsh. Her phrasing also doesn't suite my taste. It feels like she's playing to check some boxes: "it's good to have dynamic range. see? I'm playing very soft here. And now I'm playing very loud here! Very soft and smooth here. Robust and fast here! See? Did you notice the difference?"
What a complete musician. What beautiful sensitivity. What a personality. What a ball of energy and fun. Beautiful to see the musicians enjoying making this wonderful performance together. Superb!
wow, I am so glad I found him here. His play of this composition is unmatched by all others I have heard so far. He is definitely the cellist to watch. I am going to find out more about him after this.
I watch this over and over again everyday! Can't find any flaw with every factor. Soloist's perfect technique, whole ensemble perform flawlessly. Something about Queen Elizabeth Competition! Extremely talented young musician who will have a full life ahead with their career and bright future. l adore these young musicians. Their energy and passion is absolutely inspirational!
Is there information available on the instruments they are playing on? Whether they are on loan, what type of instrument, etc. I'm not a cello or violin maker, but I'm still interested.
The differentiation between the strong and soft is bigger in his performance compared to Choi. He is quite softer when he is soft it appears more dramatic yes. But that's a difference in their interpretations. It is not an attempt at covering technical short comings with flamboyance. Also he is very in tune with and clearly well aware of the orchestras style and their pace. Im especially impressed by that. Besides Slava i have not seen a cellist capable of doing so. Maybe an ego thing i dont know.
Absolutely the best Haydn of all the competants!
You mean competitors

He makes me smile…
He is just amazing
The concerto and every note brilliantly radiate throughout Chen's body -- a marvelous and thrilling performance. Haydn would have been proud.
Prior to this, my favorite recording of the Haydn Cello Concertos was by Daniel Muller Schott. Now I have two favorites!
Serious? Have you not heard Slava's?

It's a sin that he didn't win 1st prize
👏👏👏🎉
Great style!
Whose Cadenza is he using?
Is there information available on the instruments they are playing on? Whether they are on loan, what type of instrument, etc. I'm not a cello or violin maker, but I'm still interested.
not even the judges play like that!
His climax was strong but that's all. Adagio was boring and too exaggerating
Too studied and exaggerated. Hayoung Choi is the more musical, her take is beautiful and heartfelt.
Hayoung Choi's play definitely faster and added some color to the composition. I felt more emotion and connected with Yibai Chen's play.
I don’t think he’s necessarily exaggerating, I think this is just how he feels the music
I don't think you understand the definition of "too studied."
The differentiation between the strong and soft is bigger in his performance compared to Choi. He is quite softer when he is soft it appears more dramatic yes. But that's a difference in their interpretations. It is not an attempt at covering technical short comings with flamboyance.
