I was in the Audiance when Mr. Schiff performed the Saint Saens Concerto. Shortly before the performance the Conductor got ill and was`nt able to perform, Mr. Schiff performed the Saint Saens Concerto conducting the orchestra himself and he conducted a Beethoven Symphony wthout any rehearsal, that was so great and I will never forget that!
His recording of the Shostakovich concerts, particulary the SECOND, is legendary. It was the first time I heard the works, and it changed my life. Rest In Peace.
I used to play the cello, and I entered several solo competitions playing this concerto because it was my favorite, although I never won with it -- I did win a couple with the Dvorak Concerto though. I used to listen to Heinrich Schiff every day and dreamed of playing this with an orchestra. I didn't even know he died in 2016 until today because I haven't thought about any or this stuff for many years.
I heard this piece more than 30 years ago still in an old casette)),one with maxim shostakovich, my fav recording so far of 2 concertos by Shostakovich
THank you so much for sharing this. Schiff was certainly one of the greatest cellists of his generation, and having him here on video taking on a concerto most don't associate with him is enlightening. Clearly, he is superb here.
oneday,a Horn Player and a Father both dead and go to the gate which decide who's going to heaven or hell. the Player get a permission to enter Heaven, but the Father is annouced to go to Hell. Father says that he spent all his life worked for God,why's that? God says,when you preach in the church,everybody is sleeping,no one is praying seriously.But,when the Horn Player plays solo in the orchestra,the whole orchestra pray nervously.
Dommage qu’il n’y ait aucun commentaire en français!!!! Comme d’habitude! Dommage aussi que ce magnifique concerto soit par 3 fois interrompu par de la pub! Néanmoins merci à TH-cam…. Sans qui je n’aurait pu écouter cette petite merveille! J’aime aussi beaucoup mais beaucoup la version de Gauthier Capuçon.
Aren't you a sweetheart. Why don't you post a performance of yourself so we all enjoy pointing out each one of your fuckups. It's a fucking LIVE performance. Shit happens.
I wish everyone except the cello (cause he's amazing) played a bit more aggressively cause that's how I imagine this piece played. Other than that perf!!
It's hardly a "FAIL" when a musician recovers from a flub so gracefully that 95% of listeners would not notice but for some armchair critic sitting at his or her computer and pointing it out. Do you sit and listen for every tiny little error, or do you actually hear how wonderful this performance was by all involved? That horn player had much to be proud of. Shame on YOU!
It would have been a different story for me if your comment were "Wow! Look how well this guy recovered from his slip at 4:27. What an amazing musician!" Or maybe I'm just too old to appreciate the connotations of "FAIL."
That he is a very good musician I did not have to say, everyone can hear it. He's playing with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Heinrich Schiff..it's obvious he has to be very good. If someone pointed out an imperfection in a video of mine, I would recognise it and maybe i'd tell him "yes, I know", without getting angry. Life is much simpler than you think..so, take it easy and laugh a bit more!
Since I know this piece very good because it's absolutely one of my favourite compositions, I could not avoid to hear it. So, I did not want to point it out only in order to laugh at this horn player (which is a very good one) but only to make some fun, since it is an official occasion. Being a musician, I perfectly know what it means. So, if you have no sense of humor and common sense at all, please avoid to write such things against people you don't know. Thanks!
I actually have a very good sense of humor, but not when a very fine (or even a not-so-fine) musician is dissed for some little flaw. It's this kind of stuff that has done irreparable harm to classical musicians especially. How would you like to have a mistake highlighted in a TH-cam video for all the world to see? If you are able to laugh off that kind of thing, then you are very blessed as you either have received some wonderful support as a developing musician or have a naturally thick skin.
No one is perfect. The greatest make mistakes. The physical exertion required to play as a soloist with a world class orchestra alone is enough to cause a misstep. And who wants perfection? When you push out Xerox’s for performances you’ll get perfection perhaps. Those striving to create within the bounds of a composed piece will at times stumble. Good for them. The classical musician is required to make repertoire seem improvised and alive within the confines of the composed notes. Not easy.
Yes, one of the most singulary copied and revered cellos in the world! Not sure who has it now after Maestro Schiff's untimely passing. You can tell it becaue of it's highly pointed and dramatic "points" of the c-bouts, and it's wider form.
Maybe its just his cello, but he sound could've been a lot more resonant and ring more. And also i think it was a bit under tempo should've been faster
It's the Montagnana Sleeping Beauty cello...she's still waking up after her 100+ year slumber. Such an amazing natural tone from one of the most famous cellos of all time, not to mention one of the greatest cellists to have ever played the instrument.
I really hope that the French Horn got fired after this concert. He nowhere near played his part correctly. That conductor and the rest of the symphony deserved somebody who could actually play.
I'd like to see you do better. I have seen this piece performed live a total of 5 times by top notch orchestras (The Baltimore Symphony and NSO come to mind) where the French Horn player completely screwed up that same exact entrance because it is so difficult.

He will be missed.
The great Austrian musician (cellist, conductor and professor) HEINRICH SCHIFF died today, 23 December 2016, aged 65. R.I.P., MAESTRO!
RIP Maestro. I really miss this wonderful cellist.
His recording of the Shostakovich concerts, particulary the SECOND, is legendary. It was the first time I heard the works, and it changed my life. Rest In Peace.
Love his playing of the Shostakovich, pity never got to see him play live. RIP Mr Schiff, many years too early.
RIP, super player.
This piece is such a duel between the orchestra and soloist.
RIP. He is a beautiful cellist!!!
Ruhe In Frieden. Maestro Heinlich Schiff!!
I always forget about him. And then a video will pop up and remind me. Such a powerful cellist. The sound was so huge. Like Slava.
I used to play the cello, and I entered several solo competitions playing this concerto because it was my favorite, although I never won with it -- I did win a couple with the Dvorak Concerto though.

His recording with Maxim Shostakovich conducting is amazing.
My favorite!

Wow...How exciting to be able to perform at such a beautiful venue.
Incredible performance! thank you so much for the upload.
oneday,a Horn Player and a Father both dead

but the Father is annouced to go to Hell.

Admirável !....Excelente 👏👏👏

Best interpretation ever❤
4:25 rip french horn
rude...
lol
@@gliderfs621 XD ur cute
Don't think he woke to from his nap in time. XD although that's usually the tubas
Aren't you a sweetheart. Why don't you post a performance of yourself so we all enjoy pointing out each one of your fuckups. It's a fucking LIVE performance. Shit happens.
Fantastico
RIP Maestro
.....great.....great....great......RIP
Brilliant.
the tempo he gave at 24:39 - 24:45 and how he Rocked out to it Tho !!!
A lot of thanks !
I wish everyone except the cello (cause he's amazing) played a bit more aggressively cause that's how I imagine this piece played. Other than that perf!!
carolina venegas Yep, I hear ya on that. In my opinion the Shostakovich Cello Concerto No. 1 is both a concerto for the soloist and orchestra as well.
FARTYPANTS30 right!!!!! I feel its equal parts if ones off it just doesn't sound right!
carolina venegas exactly. ;)
It's hardly a "FAIL" when a musician recovers from a flub so gracefully that 95% of listeners would not notice but for some armchair critic sitting at his or her computer and pointing it out.

RIP Mr.Schiff
WTF ARE THOSE SCALES!!! ALL ON THE A STRING IN THE FINAL MOVEMENT GODDAMN
Cool isn't it
Genial¡
4:54 perfect execution
Maestro Schiff, lamentablemente muerto en forma prematura.
Sublime
bravo
4:54 toggle head banging
Is it just me? or there is Publicities inside mouvements! That's rude! It's way too beautiful to cut short in any part of the piece!
RIP...
R.I.P
RIP

So many French horn player seem to fail a lot playing this composition, is it really THAT hard?
It is taxing and tricky.
And very, very exposed!
It would have been a different story for me if your comment were "Wow! Look how well this guy recovered from his slip at 4:27. What an amazing musician!" Or maybe I'm just too old to appreciate the connotations of "FAIL."
9:04 Mr. Lahey?!
+FARTYPANTS30 fukin shit hawks
lol!
From the 80ties I suppose

How is the French Horn messing up? I am not familiar with the piece
rip
Anderson Cooper on french horn
Allah rahmet eylesin sondaki gamları pustan almak yerine re ve la tellerinde git gel yapan adam gibi adam...
Seriously? They edited footage of the first 4 double stops on top of the last 4. Lol

is he using the sleeping beauty montagnana in this performance?
Yes, one of the most singulary copied and revered cellos in the world! Not sure who has it now after Maestro Schiff's untimely passing. You can tell it becaue of it's highly pointed and dramatic "points" of the c-bouts, and it's wider form.
6:22 " :( "
28:40
4:27
The horn player is excellent, as he distancies himself from the orchestra.
Yes because if all notes are in tune, it's too perfect. rofl what kind of argument is that
Define too perfect
:D
That was a fuckup LOL
Maybe its just his cello, but he sound could've been a lot more resonant and ring more. And also i think it was a bit under tempo should've been faster
cpbritt he just doesn't do any shitty bullshit thing that makes fake resonance which other "famous "cellists normally do
It's the Montagnana Sleeping Beauty cello...she's still waking up after her 100+ year slumber. Such an amazing natural tone from one of the most famous cellos of all time, not to mention one of the greatest cellists to have ever played the instrument.
HAHAHA
4:27 French Horn FAIL
ese director no esta en nada
Und ---cking YT unterbricht drei Mal mittendrin
The french horn just ruined every fucking thing
