I am now more than ever convinced that Narek is the best cellist of his generation. His genuine connection with the music is something extremely rare nowadays. He doesn't "feel" the music, he lives it. There is great future ahead of him.
The cello as warm and confidently played as I have ever heard it, beautifully supported by this young and very professional orchestra. Thank you and Bravo!!
amazing! Incredible. I love how the soloist looks back at the violinists for their response at 3:42 :). It makes the conversation feel so genuine and intimate.
But if you watch the other available videos, he does that with pretty much every orchestra he performs with (watch the Toulouse for example). So ... is it spontaneous intimacy or stage-acting?
This is sublime music with a divine interpretation. How many would guess this delicate music was by the composer of the 1812 overture? Beautiful. Thank you for allowing us to share in the sheer joy of this piece.
+ComposerInUK Tchaikovski wrote a lot of peaceful, melodic pieces of music. Why would you think you could only write something like the 1912 Overture, or only something like this?
John David I was speaking to music lovers in general about the popular misconception that Tchaikovsky only wrote sentimental or bombastic works. Clearly. you are a specialist and don't need reminding! All good wishes.
@no issues I've known the violin concerto for more than 50 years. I write a blog (and soon a book) about the life and music of Tchaikovsky. Other than that, it's uncanny how right you are! :)
очень люблю эти Вариации, много раз их играла и в классе, и на сцене, т.к. много лет дружила с нашими консерваторскими виолончелистами и работала концертмейстером в классе виолончели. И мальчик мне тоже очень понравился.
Now I understand why there are no transcriptions of this piece available for viola: It would be entirely impossible on viola, the range just isn't there. The cellist in this video is phenomenal. I have never heard him before but I will be listening to everything I can find of him. Incredibly soulful cello playing.
Dearest P. Tchaikovsky, you are no more with us, your live was a never ending strategy but still left us with most beautiful and rich music full of passion that goes into deepest depts of our hearts. We are all thank full for ever for the great music master pieces you left us, today millions dance or cry with your wonderful music. M. Weihrauch
Unbelievable interpretation of a piece that has sometimes been run into the ground by uninspired performances. I didn't know who this performance was by until the end of the piece when I read the notes below. Of course, Russians! What great and musical people! This cellist is young and phenomenal. Thanks.
Why is the soloist's name not in the video title? Do you consider that just an incidental detail? I wonder whether Mr. Narek Hakhnazaryan would agree. I certainly would not.
Bravo! The piec is , I think, not a successful case of Tchaikovsky because he cherishes his theme too much , especially the wood wind part, ,that he cannot make a variation in Beethoven or Brahms's sense. thouth this performance does catch my heart.
😧😧 advertisements in the middle of the piece, so sad... put them at the beginning, it ruins the experience mid way through. Your choice of course but geez..
+Julio David Auster This is Fitzenhagen's version. Tchaikovsky's original version is apparently rarely performed or even recorded. The exact differences between the two versions are shown on Wikipedia if you're interested. The most striking difference however, is that the lively variation 7 (17:20) served as the fourth variation in the Tchaikovsky version. There was also an eighth variation before the coda, which was cut in the Fitzenhagen version.
composer Rolf Ruggaard. It is not Tjajkovskijs original score. It is the cellist, Fitzenhagens "version" with his miserable emendations. Never should a musician (Fitzenhagen) be allowed to mistreat a composer's notes that way.
It's like an Einstein on a Cello, Outer Space and Time there is no music! Again somebody trained in playing a Cello for the next generation without having a chilhood. In my opion the next generation of Cellist should play like Jacqueline du Pre!!!!!

Много виртуозно, прочувствено и красиво изпълнение!! Браво!!!!
Please please please never take this down! This soloist especially really moves me...
Great sense of counterpoint, even though his parts mostly '1' line
@@Bulbophile do you understand how the cello works?

💪👍
+Frodo Baggins I think Tim Lowe is better: his connection with the music is so much stronger
Why only of *his* generation? I would say he is the best of *every* generation -- past, present, and future -- until the end of the universe.
This piece can be so elegant and I'm glad that the soloist gets it. Wonderful.

1812 is fantastic too!

Not surprised that Tchaikovsky composed this, but if you had said Shostakovich ....
really want to practice after watched this video.. awesome!!
你的琴技非凡，奇特的精彩。表情潇洒飛奔生动，音色优美华丽动听。能欣賞到你的出色演奏，是人生最高的享受，深深的难忘。一切都那样完美的你，令人仰慕。
After listening to this I can't stop hearing it I side my mind over and over again.
I appreciate the clarity of the orchestral writing as much as the bewitching sostenuto 'cello.
The finest interpretation and performance of the Rococo Variations I have ever heard. Totally inspirational! Thank you Narek.
I agree as well
fantastic ....
P. Tchaikovsky. The Variations on a Rococo Theme. Soloist - Narek Hakhnazaryan. Conductor - Michail Jurowski.
Narek is fantastic!
The best version I have seen since YoYo Ma’s performance in Leningrad in 2015. Amazing.

Excellent!!!
Thank you for sharing this musical treat.

The soloist is probably armenian or at least of armenian descent, though.
he is! he studied in Russia though
fantastic performance, great interpretation!
Ah music for the soul. Thank you.
Excellent music, excellent solo performance, excellent orchestra and conductor.

Удивительный солист и замечательный оркестр.
Просто сказочное исполнение!

Muy graciosos los ademanes del cellista, felicitaciones.
Genial.
Beautiful
wow!! good
Sehr schöne Interpretation !
I'ts so amazing!!!
Why is the soloist's name not in the video title?
Do you consider that just an incidental detail?
I wonder whether Mr. Narek Hakhnazaryan would agree.
I certainly would not.
Why on earth is the soloist not named in the video description?
9:17 ascent a bit ... But the descent , superb, and nailed elsewhere
He uses the weirdest fingerings... and makes it still sound beautiful
Awe----some !
Gustavo Domínguez gracias por la recomendación, me ha encantado :}
Whoever put the ad in the middle is this video needs to be sued
From 14:00 😍😍
WOW really good. 🎻💕
Beautissimo!
18:40 Bond fans will recognize that part ;)
Yeah lol
¡ que violoncelista mas talentoso; felicitaciones. Buen representante de los armenios.
I just found his vibrato very exaggerated in some parts. Very good!
Lucas Henrique are there marking in the score for vibrato ?
Bravissimo !!!
Bravo! The piec is , I think, not a successful case of Tchaikovsky because he cherishes his theme too much ,
especially the wood wind part, ,that he cannot make a variation in Beethoven or Brahms's sense.
thouth this performance does catch my heart.
Tchaikovsky hubiera hecho un concierto para violonchelo basándose en esta obra
14:45 rh
Can someone lend me the partitures of tchaikovsky rococo variations ONLY for the cello ?
You probably found out/aren't interested anymore/won't see this, but imslp.org has you covered
Certifié intergalactique!
Say what bruh look at this dude
best version
14:00
😧😧 advertisements in the middle of the piece, so sad... put them at the beginning, it ruins the experience mid way through. Your choice of course but geez..
youtubes choise actually
5:00 is just as good as it gets...
14.53min- 17min sublime!
1:15 the bass guy looks like Neo from Matrix jejeje
Sorry to ask,but what is the rococo theme?After all ,you cannot make variations without the original theme...
It's in the very beginning.
0:30
Which version is this? Tchaikovsky's or Fitzenhagen?
