I have to say, the pianist has a fantastic sense of dynamics and phrasing and these two are clearly listening to each other! The cellist also has a beautiful, raw vibrato and sense of delicacy. Brava!
I cannot agree more. I can feel strong presence of pianist in this piece ! and it's so well balanced and beautiful that it reminds me this piece actaully composed for both 'piano' and 'cello' 😀
This is all around such a great piece. The slow movement is beautiful, and the fast movement is light, and so much fun to play and listen to. I'll never grow tired of it. Played amazingly by Schmidt!
They both are obviously amazing and at the top of the game. Congratulations!!! Two masters on stage. Thank you for taking your time to record and share it on YT Mr. Schmidt, Mrs. Tamura and HFM Weimar ♡ Mr. Schmidt, this is the way to show the World what is the sound of cello in 2016 - something we can all look up to. Congratulations as well to the sound engineers and whoever mastered the recording, wonderful quality of the sound.
A superb performance. So much warmth and colour in the cello tone, such attention to phrasing and to nuances of intensity.And such élan! Great collaboration between the two artists. Bravi to both!
I am interested to learn that Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt studied under Aldo Parisot. Although I had previously studied with Maurice Gendron at the Conservatoire in Paris, it was only once I had become a pupil of Aldo's, at the Yale University School of Music, that I really learned most of what I still find useful about cello technique, many decades after the period of my apprenticeship. Although Aldo may not have been the greatest cellist of his generation, he was a phenomenally good teacher.
I've only ever heard this performed on a French horn; did Schumann specify the piece's instrumentation? (Pianist is marvellous too, not just the cellist.)
It's not easy for cellists either. One, because it's Schumann, and two, because not only is the human lung limited, but also the bow. But it's probably more difficult for Horn.
0:38 Please can anyone tell me this asthmatic inhaling sound is coming from? I know it comes from the Cello but in what condition does this ‘asthmatic inhaling’ sound come from? Is it because of the way he is bowing? I have listened to various versions of this piece and most of the inhaling sounds are pretty clear. I really want to listen to this beautiful music without doubt of what it is... Cause listening to this without knowing where that sound comes from makes me feel like I’m not breathing properly...
Several issues with this performance. The microphone selection is all wrong for this duo. There is very little bass register in the piano. Sounds thin and compressed. The cello sounds like a viola. Also the phrasing is rigid and metronomic. This is a romantic work. So where is the ebb and flow? This doesn't move me.

an encyclopedia of how to play cello
Sounds Amazing! BRAVO!!
The best interpretation of this piece, my layman’s opInion. Thank you so much for the pleasure!
Beautiful!!!
This is simply the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listen to Lynn Harrell’s adagio mix it with Schmidt’s Allegro it becomes the best
Thrilling!
It's very good rendition! BRAVO❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic！

it's the cellist's actual breathing not the cello
How could a cello make this sound 🤣
Come on man 😂😂
Cellists are well known for their enormous breathing.
Schöner kann man das nicht spielen
Ich bestätige !🙂🎶

Allegro has no sweep. Bitsy, in sections, not carried through, not characterised, is cautious.
Lmao blasphemy

I cast to earth a seed.
Up there came a flower,
The people said, a weed.”
Tr1Pz try to play it better ;)
From your incompetence it's safe to conclute that you are a musical critique ...
You don't know what you're saying. Keep listening, eventually you'll understand.
I am in agreement with Tr1Pz. The performance of the cellist does not match his self confidence.
Too much tenuto
