I can't believe that this was recorded in 1964. It's so clear and it's like they are playing this NOW. I applause to the beautiful piece and brilliant performance
If anything, the best recordings from the 50's and 60's have MORE immediacy and depth than modern digital recordings. Digital recordings have a certain surgical clarity and cleanness, to be sure, but the recordings of this earlier era sound infinitely more lifelike and alive and varied, as though you are in a space with the performers, soaking up their sound in real time.
It's so sad these doesn't have more views or commentaries. I'm a lurker most of the time, so I just view without liking or commenting but to see such a beautifully crafted video showcasing such a beautiful piece is so rare and good, and having it go unnoticed is so sad. I hope you keep these coming, I love them.
+Diffomega Yes I will! Remember that I only quite recently re-uploaded all my videos (if you followed my channel), so it will take some time to grow back to it's former status! Thank you for your comment, anyway.
No....this took a few decades to 'grow' on me....I'm finally starting to 'get it.' NYTimes' Tomassini was correct in placing Debussy in his pantheon of giants......
Dear Diffomega, i think that music lovers just abbandoun the video because of the publicity. I had to call all my love for this incredible composer-piece for being able to listen to it till the end.
sunrise sunset If you consider modern ‘progressive’ “academic” music, so to speak (aka non-pop music) what you tend to see is a lot of elongated musical ideas without shape, form or melody, perhaps based entirely on musical textures, but not much melody or structure. I truly believe that this may be ahead of our time, as PrometheusClown said, because I think that to continue working in some form of academic musical direction nowadays we need to return back to about 1930 and erase all modernistic, excessively primitive music-like noise that dominates the so-called ‘academic musical scene’ nowadays. This is my conviction (perhaps not as ‘soft’ an idea as an opinion), but don’t take this to heart if it offends you. These thoughts aren’t meant to offend anybody.
Serenade and finale is so ingenious. Its like watching a Picasso painting. So much odd shapes and colors yet it still makes a cohesive whole... its years ahead of its time.
+Ron Barlo Haha well, I'm glad that I could help you out in that case :) Btw, check out my video of Leo Ornstein - Cello sonata no. 2, also a short cello sonata that could use some more performances, it's very good!
I think the piano playing by Françaix is just wonderful, and it is great to have a composer's view of this piece. I wish there was more fantasy on the 2nd movement. An excellent version nevertheless! Vive Claude de France!
The work's untrammelled beauty deepens as I listen to it more. The two moments in Finale when the chromatic theme somehow surfaces always evoke memories of the Étude No.10, pour les sonorités opposées. These cannot be sounds of this world...
Whenever I find a nice piece on your channel, I always go around to listen for different interpretations, but you always seem to choose the one I enjoy the most. Pretty cool.
Wow this piece sounds amazing, I love the jazz nuances throughout the piece, maybe Debussy was inspired by the emerging genre of Jazz in this piece?. This is what i love about Debussy his music never goes stale, he always find new and interesting ways to write the music he does.
Yes, and honestly blues and jazz in generally. There is an interesting connection between the Parisian composition schools of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and the rise of American music (a la Barber, etc.). Technically, it did go both ways I guess, but the real innovation came from composers like Debussy and Moussorgsky that used Asian-inspired sounds within an ever-evolving neo-classical, neo-Romantic, and impressionistic paradigm. That chromaticism and evolution gives way, quite naturally, to jazz idioms.
It is amazing when you think of the complex processes and influences that go into the formation of a genere or musical style, it is never as straight-forward as we think. Thanks for the info.

a master class in composting for the cello, the orchestrations of the two instruments is genius. But, unlike his piano etudes and many other compositions of his that I can not live without, this one reminds me of 'mock' oriental sentimentalisation.
Fetishization of the music of other cultures was fashionable at the time. It’s not necessarily bad, but it can come off as shallow, poorly understood, and gimmicky.
The sacatto note at the end of the Prologue is almost funny and a bit bothering. It's like a little critter peeking out of it's hole and quickly hiding, never to be seen again.
Don't understand why the pianist does not follow the dynamic markings in the opening theme, which is written with crescendos and explicit dynamic changes. I'm okay with a little poetic license, especially if the musician seems to draw out something interesting in the music, but in this case he fails to express the simplest intention of the composer and adds nothing of interest.
That's disrespectful. He's the one playing the piece man, if anything he gets the final say, not Debussy, and he should decide how the music sounds, ya feel?
I can't believe that this was recorded in 1964. It's so clear and it's like they are playing this NOW. I applause to the beautiful piece and brilliant performance
Yeah I was surprised too. I underestimated the recording capabilities of back then.
If anything, the best recordings from the 50's and 60's have MORE immediacy and depth than modern digital recordings.

One of the best cello sonatas ever written, in my opinion
Totally agree with you
Me too!
Really love it
Chopin op 65 and cello sonates Beethoven
The most lyrical is Rachmaninoff, in my opinion

Dear Diffomega, i think that music lovers just abbandoun the video because of the publicity. I had to call all my love for this incredible composer-piece for being able to listen to it till the end.
That first movement is profound
*every movement
Yes, but the harmonic fantasy of the second movement is another aspect of Debussy's genius and is very great too.
I feel like this is way ahead of its own time and our time.
ahead of for ever, if you look how things changes
well, definitely not ahead of our time.

Love you Mr. Debussy..
Been listening to some Impressionistic sonatas. Life's never been better.
still and for always my favourite
Serenade and finale is so ingenious. Its like watching a Picasso painting. So much odd shapes and colors yet it still makes a cohesive whole... its years ahead of its time.
the 2nd mov is soo weirdly beautifull
This is a great gift to cello lovers
This work is deep and graceful.
The cello entrance in the 1st mov.👏Love the 3rd movement!!!! 🎻🎹🎶❤❤
What a gorgeous performance - two superb artists.
The genius of melody
Now that is what i call a serenade
This splendor of words can not attach it
The diversity of Debussy is immeasurable
I get a kick out of Debussy’s various works
Loooove it. One of the best cello sonatas.
Saw this performed live once! The experience was transcendent.
I agree: thanks for taking the time to do this. It's very helpful to me as
I'm teaching this to a student and I never learned the piece myself!

imagine this song in the twilight of your years.... so moving and nostalgic
Wow the pianist is Jean Françaix! A very interesting French composer!
Superbe Debussy. Quelle piece magnifique!
I think the piano playing by Françaix is just wonderful, and it is great to have a composer's view of this piece. I wish there was more fantasy on the 2nd movement. An excellent version nevertheless! Vive Claude de France!
Though a bit too forward in the mix sometimes, obscuring the cello.
Bravo! This is beautiful, full of wonder. I didn't know he had written any cello sonatas.
This is gorgeous
Masterpiece. Masterfully played.
Proud to be the 1000th like
This sonata is just so striking. I don't know what else to say except that.
why is this so beautiful ? this is too much beauty for one piece ! what the hell , debussy ?!
A wonderful piece, Debussy creates a whole new sound for the 'cello
The work's untrammelled beauty deepens as I listen to it more.
The two moments in Finale when the chromatic theme somehow surfaces always evoke memories of the Étude No.10, pour les sonorités opposées. These cannot be sounds of this world...
so good! I want to play this within a couple years
Played it yet?
For 1964 this recording is fantastic!
I sometimes think sadly about those sonatas he didn't write
Be joyous God gave Debussy to us, at all.

Sublime.
Should be forbidden to have commercials in between this beautiful piece imo. Thank you for sharing though.
Thanks for this great performance and for the music sheet !!!!
Thanks for the score, this is the one of my favorites.
What a recording
this is weird but interesting. My congratulations. Cello part is fabulous.
Thank you so much for doing this videos.

If a Monet painting was turned from painting into music, this would be it.

I'm just a humble 21st- century progressive. I hear pentatonic scale, therefore "'mock' oriental sentimentalisation". Such an intellectual am I.

Это очень смелая музыка!
I cannot find the sheet with both cello and piano part anymore. Could you please help me or upload it?? Thanks

i am here for the second movement
Isn't Françaix the one who orchestrated the Chopin preludes?
Yes, you`re absolutely right, he orchestrated and performed in 1969.
Jean Françaix, the composer?
🎉
Is the pianist the composer Jean Françaix?
Yes!
The advertisement break at 9:00 is really offensive.
I grief the sonatas he never wrote

Great piece! I don’t understand why the pianist plays often staccato legato and vice versa. Make no sense to me.
I don’t know about this piece… what a shame.
Don't understand why the pianist does not follow the dynamic markings in the opening theme, which is written with crescendos and explicit dynamic changes. I'm okay with a little poetic license, especially if the musician seems to draw out something interesting in the music, but in this case he fails to express the simplest intention of the composer and adds nothing of interest.
The pianist, Jean Françaix, died in 1997 so you can't ask him anymore unfortunately...
That's disrespectful. He's the one playing the piece man, if anything he gets the final say, not Debussy, and he should decide how the music sounds, ya feel?
