This performance is a double-edge sword. It can be an inspiration for future musicians to admire and more importantly learn from, or it can be completely frustrating and make you want to pull your hair in amazement of how two individuals could be so gifted. The playing is of such high order, that it just towers over any other performance. No duo comes in even close in this particular sonata, which also happens to be my favorite of the five. Look at the conviction of their playing around 12:30 onward. That is deep stuff right there.
I wouldn't agree that the performance itself is superior to every other - it has some negletions in respect of written dynamics, but them two are such powerhouses that you easily let that slide! I like Heinrich Schiff's Interpretation of the sonatas very much.
A Legendary Concert: The duo Rostropovich-Richter playing Beethoven, recorded first by Philips Label, and after by BBC. On August 30th 1964 at the Edinburgh Festival, Mstislav Rostropovich and Sviatoslav Richter took to the stage of the Usher Hall. Beethoven's complete Sonatas for Cello and Piano had seldom been played in their entirety in the world. The British "premiere" was a century and a half late.
I don't think Rostropovich played the sonata entirely on his own... But coughs, grunts and all, it remains so beautiful - I am forever grateful for the memory of having heard Rostropovich and Richter (for it is he) play all five sonatas, two summer evening at midnight in the Usher Hall Edinburgh at the end of the '60s... Thanks for re-energising that memory. They are fantastic.
I can think of no finer interpretation of this illusive work. What a privilege this must have been for the Edinburgh audience, two colossi of the concert platform in perfect accord. If only we had YT access to the complete cycle, we once did!.
Wunderschöne und spannende live Aufführung dieser perfekt komponierten Sonate im lebhaften Tempo mit gut phrasiertem Ton des Cellos und perfekt artikuliertem Klang des Klaviers. Die intime und perfekt vereinigte Mitwirkung zwischen den beiden Virtuosen ist immer noch unvergleichlich. Einfach atemberaubend!
Oh mein Gott! Dein Deutsch ist so gut! Ich musste das buchstäblich automatisch übersetzen, denn obwohl ich Deutscher bin, kann ich es überhaupt nicht gut sprechen! LOL! 🤣
@@notaire2 I am not sure if you understand English, but I am really sorry for asking! I have no idea why I even asked that. Just please ignore my comment.
Although everything else was great, please also give credit to the pianist in the title not just in the description. The pianist part is just as hard and he played just as well.
I'm late to this recording. Is that Richter at piano? I'm looking at profile and hands, and the sound. Ah, another poster confirmed. What a combination. This raises is my estimation of Richter: not only is he only genius when solo but also when accompanying a fellow genius
To take such a task on? Whew. I heard a story that Beethoven called upon a cellist friend to visit and bring a bow. He wanted to see if what he'd written could be played. Don't know the specific composition. Apparently they worked something out. This piece sounds at times like a piano sonata. Not surprising. Ludwig was a piano player.
If we ever have to inform living creatures on other planets in the galaxy as to what our civilization has achieved, this will be the musical piece to play.

I don't if the Beethoven violin sonatas have been played all at once, but certainly not the piano sonatas!

A Modernismlover Scotland, Rostropovich, Richter, and Beethoven. What I'd give to take that all in over two nights. jealous.
Lucky you.
That vibrato!
Sensational....BRAVI ad ENTRAMBI.....from Mexico City!
Amazing duo... Now i want the sonatas Op.5 no.1 (F Major) & my favourite: Op.69 (A Major).
Interpretazione monstre, imparagonabile. Incredibili.
11 minute, a sudden short visit of the shadow of main theme from finale's of Prometheus and Eroica, really great
My best beethoven's Sonata for Pianoforte and cello.
What a pleasure to see these 2 perform together!
What a masterpiece...

I'm glad you said that. Many consider Richter the 20th century's greatest pianist.
Una maravilla!!!, geniooo

Me! But what scene was it when this song played? I do not recall hearing this in greta.

I miss music. I just hear more notes than musical lines...
What are you talking about?
@@johnvanalstine9645 melody lines aren't clear and I miss different sound colours. Sometimes too much pressure

Ok Karen
Such a lame phrasing.
