I have known and loved this piece since I was a child, thanks to my father having a recording of it on a 78 rpm record.
This was played at the memorial service for my grandma and whenever I hear it I think of her. It's such a beautiful piece
Wow. How did I, as a huge fan of Beethoven and aspiring violist, never even hear of this piece until yesterday? Amazing!
Maybe because it is boring? Sorry-an impolitic answer!
And yet you listened to the whole piece!
She is principal viola of the New York philharmonic.

Exactly. Look at all the keyboard experts. This was at a chamber music festival. You get together and play a bunch of different stuff with different people. It's sort of like sophisticated sight reading. It's not supposed to be a recording.
Awesome! Viola Gang!
The finest performance of this I have ever heard.
Agreed; this is exquisite! And Beethoven's mastery of the combination of these two instruments is superb. If any piece of music is capable of soothing the heart of the savage beast, it is this one.
Wow! Incredible ensemble- they even bow together.
One of the most enjoyable performance of Beethoven's most charming piece which is not so much known.
We were blessed in San Diego CA to have Cynthia as our principle violist in SD symphony. She has performed many times at La Jolla Charmber Music Festival. Her career goes on w/ NY Phil. I've been blessed to perform this Duo in many
odd locations including the Claremont campus in Pasadena outdoors surrounded by famous art work. Thanks for posting!
Wow! Absolutely fantastic music and performance.
This performance ranks among the best of this piece on TH-cam. Very tasteful!
Fantastic - one of my favourite pieces. I first performed it in 1971 ? with Jean Gubbins at the Birmingham Art Gallery, UK, as part of the Midland Chamber Group concerts. This is a lovely performance!
They play so beautifully together!
A beautiful piece played beautifully, I wish I could sound like that. Thanks for uploading.
Precioso. Gracias
one of my favorite duo and my favorite cello player ! she is also great . congratulations
gracias por esta sorpresa :)
According to Amazon, Beethoven wrote this for two friends who wore eyeglasses. :)
6:08 is so wonderful.
A wonderful piece. Nay, it is a masterpiece. Thanks
This was great!
Great Recording!
Awesome!
Congrats
Nobody has noticed that they should be using eyeglasses? "Duet mit zwei obligaten Augengläsern" is better translated as "Duet with mandatory use of eyeglasses". A joke from Beethoven with the obligato term.
I HAVE SEEN THIS VIDEO SO MANY TIMES. I SAW A CONCERT LAST SUNDAY AND HE WAS PLAYING IN A TRIPLE CONCERTO AND HE WAS SO GOOD SO I GOOGLED HIS NAMe. TURNS OUT IVE ALREADY SEEN HIM. That's so cool :)
Here I am in Grapevine, TX, waiting for my dear granddaughter to finish with her dance class, reading the Thayer book on Beethoven. Just read where B dedicated this wonderful duo to his dear friend, Nicklaus Zmeskall. And am able to listen to this outstanding performance from my phone. And so enjoying the performance and the comments of y'all.🌺❤️
@@josephenerotman2921 No offense, but great music deserves a better reproduction system than a phone.😉
Immer wieder gerne gespielt...............

5:00 Looks like a trio including the statue at the back
I Love you
beautiful playing!
+MrCellissimo So what on how she is playing the viola, 1st class performance, I was at a live recital of this work yesterday and it sounded just as good, did not really notice how the viola player held the viola, btw way that player was principal viola player with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orcestra
+Alan Morr Sorry for spelling ORCHESTRA wrong, it was a typing error
very nice
Nice
Wo sind die OBLIGATEN Augengläsern ???? !!!!
do you have partitures for share?, is for pupils for study in camara class
Go to imslp.org, there you can find it (and many other scores)
I do not get it by 'EyeGlasses'. I thought it was in E flat
Eyeglasses?
They were supposed to use eyeglasses. It was a joke from Beethoven "Duet mit zwei obligaten Augengläsern" is better translated as "Duet with mandatory use of eyeglasses". Obligato means an instrumental part of a piece that is fundamental and should never be omitted or changed.
they must practice 40 hours a day
¿y los anteojos? respeto por favor. Si el genio dijo que es "obligatto" calladitos y a obedecer. Los rascatripas por mas buenos que sean no se deben saltar las reglas
4:43
OK not their best moment...
@@dsokind haha i was just using it as a timestamp to practice that part of the piece
7:53
6:08
7:01
Violist looks somewhat like a feminine version of Donald Trump.😋. 🍊🙉
I bet she spent all that time mastering the viola just so you could say that.
Hong Yang ya that's Cynthia Phelps, she's the principal violist in the New York Philharmonic
+Hong Yang You need some eyeglasses -- and some manners.
I’m willing to bet that she’s the antithesis of Donald Trump.
