Possibly the best interpretation I have heard of the first movement: bringing beautiful resonance, intonation, general cleanliness, and of course musicacality to this complicated chunk of awesome.
I think her interpretation is second only to starker's, probably because she didnt try to copy him like most cellist do, she did her own thing, and i think it sounds amazing, she brought sadness and fear to the 1st movment, whilst starker's is full of hate, anger and a pinch of loneliness...
You definitely have something truly special here. You and your cello are like dance partners. It's just as beautiful to watch as it is to listen to. love the attention to dynamic, your breaths, pauses, and flow are flawless. very heart-gut-wrenching interpretation. love & Light, Nicholas,
A grand, majestic, incredibly commanding piece. Beautifully played! So happy to find hidden treasures like this on your channel, thank you so much for sharing this. ❤️🙏🏽
Although I can't read sheet music to save my life, play any instrument apart from a simple drum beat or tell you what piece of musice is being played, I appreciate the wonderful sound a skilled musician can produce. Out of all the stringed instruments, the Cello is by far my favorite and Ms. Segev you play it beautifully.
Absolutely beautiful, I must have played this video twenty times this week! Truly inspiring to discover such incredibly deep music still being performed today. Not only makes me want to learn the cello, but gives me faith in humanity in general as well. Bravo.
I absolutely LOVE this piece!...For years I would listen to no one except Janos Starker! Then I 'discovered' Jakob Koranji and was enthralled by his playing! The lyricism he brought to the piece was simply wonderful!...And now along comes Inbal Segev...what more can I say? NO MORE OPRENING OTHER RECORDINGS! I will be playing Jacob and Inbal videos over and over and over! - I am not qualified to judge who is best. I believe that I will enjoy them both forever!
I've listened to Janos Starker's performance of this piece so many times that a lot of the subtle differences were jumping out as I was listening to your interpretation. It was very refreshing to hear an old favorite sound so new. Very well done.
One of my favorite pieces of all time! The sonata with Piano is very nice, too, and his duo for violin/viola. I think he is overlooked as a great post-romantic voice. But the other comment is right. This is just the kind of music that makes you want to be able to pick up an instrument and play this kind of music. Thanks!
BRAVO INBAL!!! I Love your rendition on Bach's Suites! But I was waiting for more of your cello! This is Amazing! You are a Great Musician! Please Come to Guadalajara Mèxico.
This is gorgeous music, played ravishingly! I have listened to Janos Starker's recording (Kodály said that a performance of his was nearly perfect) and find it technically wonderful, but cold by comparison. Perhaps Inbal Segev plays this movement with the Romanticism of Brahms, but I would take that any day over Starker. If you really like this artist's playing, please do support her by buying her CD on Amazon of the Bach Unaccompanied Cello Suites. I really do wish she would record the whole of the Kodály.
Very beautiful. Besides the obvious quality of the performance, there is also some connection between the piece and the bodily figure of the cellist. Congratulations. I will learn more about you.
Thanks for posting this to RUclips Ms. Segev, I enjoyed it quite much. I hope you record this in the studio one day. I will be one of the first out to buy it.
Beautiful version kudos, a wonderful performance. Just not sure why all the video effects were needed, I guess this it the way to get onto the YT front page today. Me sitting in my bedroom playing the same piece would be at 50 views :)
Thank you, that made it alot more sense. I just start playing last August and this may not be the peice for me yet. But I will still work on it. Thank you! I hope to be as great as you one day.
Hi. I love Kodály but I never knew about this sonata. I'm Spanish, living in Madrid. Yesterday, I went to an exhibition of Esteban Lisa, a Spanish pioneer abstract painter, and they show a video there about his works, and, accompanied the images, we heard the adagio of that sonata played by Yo Yo Ma. Ma's performance is wonderful but yours is also fantastic. Best wishes.
Congratulations SO PERFECT EXECUTION, in 2:32 when you play near the bridge really sounds like the wind, and in the final at 7:31, that sound! my god! in the air, so armonic, i like your "style" im going to your web site right now!!
This piece is post grade 8 - This is something you would tackle whilst studying at conservatoire or university. As tempting as it is to jump ahead (and it can be valuable in certain circumstances) slow, step by step mastery of the instrument will do you FAR better in the long run, and allow you to learn new pieces to a CONSISTENT standard, not to mention quicker. You'll have much more fun, and less frustration learning this if you've mastered the basic techniques required first.
scordatura notation: is not written as it sounds. you tune according to the note before the piece, then essentially forget about it and play the piece as its written as if you were in standard tuning. and of course pay attention to what string its supposed to be played on which the composer has hopefully noted otherwise it gets very confusing!
TooLazy hi, it depends on which one you are more comfortable playing, know better and love most. If all is equal I would say go with the Kodaly, it’s more impressive, you don’t depend on a pianist you might not know and it’s easier to get a handle on your nerves since it starts loudly. Be sure you are also comfortable tuning to non scordatura, and back to standard tuning under pressure. Good luck!
you are probably right. i managed the first page and its satisfying to play, but after that this get quite tricky. line 17-20 must be the most beautiful thing i´ve heard for a while. I am finding it hard to get actual unaccompanied cello pieces I like though. its hard to tell difficulty level for me, because i learned pieces from ravel tombeau and debussy suite bergamasque on piano which i thought were impossible but effort got me there- that won't work all the time though.
This is inspiring me to learn to play the cello, (wish I were back in NYC as well). I play guitar fairly well, and can draw (I often use video from cellists playing to show my students the incredible ability you have to draw the bow across the strings so perfectly), is there any hope for me learning to play? sandro
It's not acting, it's acting upon the passion within the musician. Or that's how I feel when I play. It's obvious that you don't play an instrument and feel a sense of passion for it.
Inbal paints a world of drama and emotional complexity, this is beyond just music.
Possibly the best interpretation I have heard of the first movement: bringing beautiful resonance, intonation, general cleanliness, and of course musicacality to this complicated chunk of awesome.
absolutely! This is truly beautifully played! Look up her other recordings....she is one of the best ever!
I think her interpretation is second only to starker's, probably because she didnt try to copy him like most cellist do, she did her own thing, and i think it sounds amazing, she brought sadness and fear to the 1st movment, whilst starker's is full of hate, anger and a pinch of loneliness...
Best instrument ever. I truly love the cello.
Cello is one of very few instruments that pierces the soul.
You definitely have something truly special here. You and your cello are like dance partners. It's just as beautiful to watch as it is to listen to. love the attention to dynamic, your breaths, pauses, and flow are flawless. very heart-gut-wrenching interpretation. love & Light,

Breath taking! I have fallen in love with the sounds of the cello lately and this, this is stirring all kind of feelings.
Although I can't read sheet music to save my life, play any instrument apart from a simple drum beat or tell you what piece of musice is being played, I appreciate the wonderful sound a skilled musician can produce. Out of all the stringed instruments, the Cello is by far my favorite and Ms. Segev you play it beautifully.
And those very things make you a true music lover

Amazing sound, amazing playing!!!

Inbal Segev, THANK YOU FOR THIS POETIC PERFORMANCE.
@Inbalsegev talented cellist and beautiful girl, the sound and technique are wonderful...."bravissima" !
You are incredible! Graceful and fluid. Simply awe inspiring Miss. Segev.
I wish I could play this , you played it so beautifully.
She only has 7.3K subscribers! She should have a million! Actually about 💯 million
INBAL!! This is absolutely beautiful!...not an easy piece at all!...I am sure that this is exactly what Kodaly had in mind when he wrote it!
I love the way you're playing it, you're really telling a story, that's beautiful.
Beautiful, sublime.
Excellent...listen to it many times
Stunning!
I've listened to Janos Starker's performance of this piece so many times that a lot of the subtle differences were jumping out as I was listening to your interpretation. It was very refreshing to hear an old favorite sound so new. Very well done.
It rejoices my Soul.
This is a wonderful performence!! A very talented celliste!
This song is so beautiful. But you make it just heaven. The notes ring so much and I love that.
I listen to this most days since finding your performance, it is incredible....!!!! Come over to the UK & play some concerts...!!!
One of my favorite pieces of all time! The sonata with Piano is very nice, too, and his duo for violin/viola. I think he is overlooked as a great post-romantic voice. But the other comment is right.

Complimenti per il microfono e suono della registrazione oltre che per l' esecuzuone piena di trasporto
BRAVO INBAL!!! I Love your rendition on Bach's Suites! But I was waiting for more of your cello! This is Amazing! You are a Great Musician! Please Come to Guadalajara Mèxico.
Hello Inbal! Hope you can come! Even things in here are a little bit harsh. Thanks for your kindly answer. And BRAVO INBAL!
What a great cello and cellist 👏 Bravo
Speechless! Amazing! ❤️

Nothing like a woman's touch!

Every single time
This is beautiful Inbal! I hope that one day I can play this piece as well! You make it sound so crisp and beautiful!
Thank you, that made it alot more sense. I just start playing last August and this may not be the peice for me yet. But I will still work on it. Thank you! I hope to be as great as you one day.
She makes it look so easy
Truly Beautiful .
מדהים
Love it sonata Kodaly ❤️

Wonderful! This is my favorite "modern" cello piece.
This is great stuff.
Outstanding!
great!!!
Beautiful!

i love this song , i really want to play it on my cello
very incredible musician
Beautiful !!!!!
This song is my motivation to not give up on my cello

After seeing this video i will take lessons to learn this beautiful instrument. Love it!
Lindo demais!Emocionante!
Awesome!!😮
This is a great piece i half to say
indeed
really niiiiiiiiiiice!!
amazing!
Amazing

and of course pay attention to what string its supposed to be played on which the composer has hopefully noted otherwise it gets very confusing!
I need help. I am stuck between this piece, and the Debussy sonata for my Julliard audition. Which one do you believe is the better option?
TooLazy hi, it depends on which one you are more comfortable playing, know better and love most. If all is equal I would say go with the Kodaly, it’s more impressive, you don’t depend on a pianist you might not know and it’s easier to get a handle on your nerves since it starts loudly.

I can't find my jaw. I think it fell off somewhere around the first crescendo. Holy cow!
..I can see a link back to Dohnany and his Rural Hungary Sonata! Did Bartok have a go at writing a Cello piece too?
OK...more than once too!
That's hot
I love you. Its as simple as that.
I love you!! ♥
Congrats on 100,000 views!
do you have any cds out
I am in love, excellent performance, great instrument. how was it recorded?
This is really good. I wonder if i could use it for a PSA I'm doing. It would be an enormous help. And again, this is amazing.
i...s this on a cd anywhere?
There is nothing sexier than a woman and her cello !
This is inspiring me to learn to play the cello, (wish I were back in NYC as well). I play guitar fairly well, and can draw (I often use video from cellists playing to show my students the incredible ability you have to draw the bow across the strings so perfectly), is there any hope for me learning to play?
sandro
About how long does it take to master this piece?
Gareth Montanarello animal.
goddess
when I bought this piece a couple years ago, they told me it was almost impossible to play, but i didn't really find it that hard =/
👏👏
just like many instruments are playing at the same time.
Nice observation Hao!
It's not acting, it's acting upon the passion within the musician. Or that's how I feel when I play. It's obvious that you don't play an instrument and feel a sense of passion for it.
@Inbalsegev thanks i just did.
