i thought music was enjoytable... that's why i took on the viola in 6th grade, and being in 8th grade and watching the hard face of that woman... SMILE! Even though my teacher says not to while playing i still do! this piece was remarkable!
If you are talking about passion in facial expressions, or extraneous movement, than I disagree. She has a beautiful clean, and crisp technique with a very powerful sound. This sonata doesn't give much liberty to be passionate.
Anne Gastinel is simply a wonderful example of perfection and deep feelings playing...I wonder why she's not famous and appreciated as the great Jaqueline Dupre was...
you're right for saying that there's a lack of passion in this interpretation...i totally agree with you, this is the think musician usually have to reproach to Anne Gastinel... she teaches in CNSM Lyon
That was intense! I don't have nearly enough Shostakovich in my collection. I do have the Cello concerto No. 1, op. 107 with Rostropovich. I find it a joyous bewildering whirlwind of complexity. This piece is in a similar vein,
Did Anne Gastinel study under Rostropovich? Their performances are very similar - the beautiful legato, the harmonic glissandi and even the headbanging! =D I am glad to hear such a performance in our day. Brava!
I am studying right now the same sonata. It is technically very demanding, but it is much more mentally demanding. One has to learn some history to be able to play it right. This lady here obviously has guts, but not enough.
[ITA] Quanti anni bisogna studiare il violoncello per poter suonare bene questo pezzo? [ENG] How many years have you studying to play with the cello this piece?
Not only Yo Yo Ma, but also Rostropovich, Pau Casals, of course the gorgeous Jacqueline du Pre and so on. The thing about cello is that you supposedly learn it by sensations, because it does not have frets like a guitar, also because you are sitting there almost behind it, holding the instrument, like if you were literally embracing the melody. I don't think she is playing like a robot, she just expresses her emotions in a different way :)
she's amazing but what really makes me want to burst out laughing (in both delight and amazement) is her very good (but very robotical) form when playing. Don't get me wrong, she's brilliant, but it would be nice maybe to see more movement? lol it's like the only emotion she is capable of showing is her face at 1:23 :P haha she's definitely more of a success than me though. Well done with the harmonics!!!!!! All the best!!! KEEP IT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
...è la stessa cosa che mi stavo chiedendo anch'io amico mio :-(...questa sonata E' di Rostropovich,e siamo tutti d'accordo,...ma questa spacca il culo veramente per quant'è brava!!
@redhotchiliangel i do not agree on the robot part you mentioned....i think it s a matter of character, others seem to be more passionate on their face and others don't but doesn't mean that they don't feel the piece......as it comes to the first two words of your comment(clean,beauty) i totally agree! :)
@LifeOfLiterature2 Si! Es un sobrenombre que le inventaron por ahí, me pareció muy cómico, como que le da un toque más bien tierno... Y Shostakovich es todo menos tierno, a mi parecer.
Beautiful. The cello player was fantastic, so much concentration. However, more dynamics should be used and a slight less distortion from the cello in a few places.
The cello sounds amazing, I love the melody. The performance is a little bit too impersonal. But I guess that's just the way the cellist enjoys the music, because, obviously, judging from the powerful yet melodic sound of the cello, she IS enjoying her performance. Quit calling her a robot!!
Like much of Shostakovich's music, this would make a great soundtrack for "Invasion of the Killer Zombies." Picture hundreds of soulless zombies marching into town, their limbs moving spastically with the music, as citizens flee.
Anyone who thinks this is "robotic", clearly isn't actually listening to what's going on. Try putting on the video and just listening to the music without watching how she performs.
Yeah this might the best performance since Rostropovich, and seriously people, you cant beat Rostropovich, especially since he add Shosty play piano with him! Composers intentions heh :)
I like the performance a lot. But and keep in mind this is just my opinion, that it's played too severely. I've heard recordings of the piece that make it very playful and spontaneous, which I like. But this was beautiful and I would definitely listen to this recording again.
To say that she doesn't have passion is a very foolish thing-- considering the amount of time it takes to get this extreme skill and discipline that she displays here. I don't think work that hard for something they don't feel for. I think the word you were looking for instead of passion isis something more along the lines of "Make'more'faces'so'I'can'pretend'you're'Yo-YoMa"
@idkwhourandidc so just because she doesn't show many emotions in her facial expressions means that she doesn't enjoy playing?? Do you think you could play this piece and focus on doing anything to portray emotion while still playing well? Besides looking at her and seeing her emotions isn't what this is about. that's why I can't watch Yo-Yo Ma, yeah its great that he gets so in the music but sometimes he's just too passionate and it distracts me when I just want to listen to the music.
what does Tool have to do with anythng? it is a COMPLETELY different style of music. why dont we just sit back and enjoy the classics along with the greatest classical couple...
esta interpretacion.esa concentracion.esa impetud. esa frialdad en una ejecucion tan magistralmente realizada me hizo querer comprarme el cello
You are absolutely right, the pianist is awesome indeed
I love this sonata, full of rhythm and wonderfully interpreted by this gifted cellist. Gastinel is a personal favourite and so is Shostakovich.
Wow... what's with these professional Cellists?! They always have this unique presence!! I think it's beautiful :)
This is absolutely heavy metal 🤘
Love it!
i thought music was enjoytable... that's why i took on the viola in 6th grade, and being in 8th grade and watching the hard face of that woman... SMILE! Even though my teacher says not to while playing i still do! this piece was remarkable!
Just wonderful! Awesome musicians, a great inspiration for those who enjoy and work with good music. Shostakovich!
If you are talking about passion in facial expressions, or extraneous movement, than I disagree. She has a beautiful clean, and crisp technique with a very powerful sound. This sonata doesn't give much liberty to be passionate.
Breathtaking !!!
Anne Gastinel is simply a wonderful example of perfection and deep feelings playing...I wonder why she's not famous and appreciated as the great Jaqueline Dupre was...
its a miracle that cello could survive that treat...
Che meraviglia!!! Splendidi =)
Splendida Interpretazione!
I love all Shostakovich :) :)
great the music and great the video....
such a powerful performance! The best performance I ever heart, even better than by beloved Rostropovich.
wow, she's killing that bow lol. NIce piece. I'd love to play this.........
you're right for saying that there's a lack of passion in this interpretation...i totally agree with you, this is the think musician usually have to reproach to Anne Gastinel... she teaches in CNSM Lyon
That was intense! I don't have nearly enough Shostakovich in my collection. I do have the Cello concerto No. 1, op. 107 with Rostropovich. I find it a joyous bewildering whirlwind of complexity. This piece is in a similar vein,
Have to watch... again and again... too awesome :D
it's headbanging metal, shostakovich rules.
Love this one!
nN other performance I've found on the net has the verve and technical assiduity of this one. Satisfaction guaranteed!
is very beautifull.......is the truth music
Fantastic! Perfect concentration! Superb expressiveness!
A wonderful interpretation.
me encanta Shosty, su música es tan rara...
Soberbia interpretación, merci
Very good Shostakovich pianist!
Wow, a stunning performance!! I'm very happy now, thank you
chef d'œuvre ...!
Did Anne Gastinel study under Rostropovich? Their performances are very similar - the beautiful legato, the harmonic glissandi and even the headbanging! =D
I am glad to hear such a performance in our day. Brava!
Géantissime !!!!!
Hermoso.
Marvelous .
wonderful
Extraordinary beautiful "French" performance of this sonata!!!!!!!
1:10~ amazing
whole piece is amazing
WOW all those arpeggios using harmonics
1:20~....
very technical piece~
Anne,Bravo!!!
Listen to the first movement of Tchaikovsky's souvenir de florence, then come back
This is kick-ass!!!
Bless you!
WOW!
Very accurate! I love it!
:O awesome...!!!!
She's wonderful. Pure fire.whoever says the opposite it's evident they don't know beyond justin Bieber, or Biever, the effect is the same.
that was a good play
I am studying right now the same sonata. It is technically very demanding, but it is much more mentally demanding. One has to learn some history to be able to play it right. This lady here obviously has guts, but not enough.

[ENG] How many years have you studying to play with the cello this piece?
por ejemplo son 5 años para tocar el preludio de bach como se debe, eso ya es un chelista nivel medio...este es medio avanzado ..5-7 años
@Cellolife97 There's this little action, it's called CLOSING YOUR EYES if you only want to hear the music.
Amazing!!!!
Shosty lo mejor!!!! rusos al poder
This is not like a robot, this is like Shostakovich..
@redhotchiliangel Speaking of robots, a good subtitle for this piece might very well be "Dance for robots." It's the music itself!
@thinker93 Yeah that is the French way of writing Shostakovich, Mezzo is a French music channel.
@idkwhourandidc She plays with emotion
Not only Yo Yo Ma, but also Rostropovich, Pau Casals, of course the gorgeous Jacqueline du Pre and so on. The thing about cello is that you supposedly learn it by sensations, because it does not have frets like a guitar, also because you are sitting there almost behind it, holding the instrument, like if you were literally embracing the melody.

There is one with Taijana vassiljeva and Shani §Diluka the entire cello op 40 sonata , it would be interesting to have a look at this !
...è la stessa cosa che mi stavo chiedendo anch'io amico mio :-(...questa sonata E' di Rostropovich,e siamo tutti d'accordo,...ma questa spacca il culo veramente per quant'è brava!!

@LifeOfLiterature2 Si! Es un sobrenombre que le inventaron por ahí, me pareció muy cómico, como que le da un toque más bien tierno... Y Shostakovich es todo menos tierno, a mi parecer.
Turning pages for the pianist!
Turning the pages of the pianist.
aaah of course i love prokofiev too because i play the piano :D the 2nd concert... :O
excellently played. I wish the microphone picked up the cello a bit more as the piano seemed to drown it out.
in the beginning... it reminded me of Pirates of the Carribean-like music... you think Hans Zimmer "quoted" any of this?
qué animalá

interested remark !! :D i wanna look it up ....
@redhotchiliangel I respect your opinion. I was just honest about what I think about your opinion. It's not personal.
"Shosta", as you call him, would certainly be delighted with the pianist performance. The cellist does, indeed, rape the musical idea here.
Anyone who thinks this is "robotic", clearly isn't actually listening to what's going on. Try putting on the video and just listening to the music without watching how she performs.
Yeah this might the best performance since Rostropovich, and seriously people, you cant beat Rostropovich, especially since he add Shosty play piano with him! Composers intentions heh :)
@Vlessgorian y a la vez perfecta
I like the performance a lot. But and keep in mind this is just my opinion, that it's played too severely. I've heard recordings of the piece that make it very playful and spontaneous, which I like. But this was beautiful and I would definitely listen to this recording again.

I think the word you were looking for instead of passion isis something more along the lines of "Make'more'faces'so'I'can'pretend'you're'Yo-YoMa"
You never know, this is Shostakovich style
@idkwhourandidc I think we can't understand what she's feeling.
I can't wait until i can hit the octaves like that :P
@baconpatrol1 AMEN!!
@idkwhourandidc so just because she doesn't show many emotions in her facial expressions means that she doesn't enjoy playing?? Do you think you could play this piece and focus on doing anything to portray emotion while still playing well? Besides looking at her and seeing her emotions isn't what this is about. that's why I can't watch Yo-Yo Ma, yeah its great that he gets so in the music but sometimes he's just too passionate and it distracts me when I just want to listen to the music.
01:53 !
Gran Interprete la mujer del chelo
Uh oh, I have to play this for my grade 8 :( got given the music this week and my exam's in November! Anyone have any tips for playing?
Good, exciting performance. However, I would attack this movement on an up bow, rather than a down bow.
Amazing...but these performers remind me of the two from The Fair Haired Child in the Masters of Horror collection.
insane... in the good way
what does Tool have to do with anythng? it is a COMPLETELY different style of music. why dont we just sit back and enjoy the classics along with the greatest classical couple...
Anybody who has the scores for this piece? :) Really hard to find!
I can send it to u if u still want it!
+Rahee Shin could you send them to me too, please? that would be amazing! :)
What's with the look the pianist shoots the cellist right at the end?
oh hush. its pretty and you know it =p
Crazy camera-work... Probably avoided to show the venue or something?
Oh God she's good!!
Odd... watching her reminds me of how some of the creatures in Tool vids move. Like Sober.
But Tool is nothing compared to this!!!
@PureCore Jajajaja Ya se para ponerlo en mis repertorios de Orgasmos xD #MultipliesOrgasmosCósmicos
beautiful music, btw, this looks difficult to play in both instruments!
