I heard this Saint Saens concerto for the first time in February 1967 in Carnegie Hall with Mstislav Rostropovich and the London Symphony Orchestra. Andre Previn was supposed to conduct, but couldn't for some reason. Gennady Rozhdestvensky was the replacement. Also on the program were a concertino by Lukas Foss and the Dvorak Concerto, also a first for me. I was still a teenager. I remember David Dubinsky, the labor leader, was in the audience. No live music, phooey on that virus.
A cellist and multi instrumentalist of many years here. Capucon is the best cellist currently alive (out of the ones who perform in public). And his best is really good too ... not just cause cellists these days suck.
Mael Perron_Guerra I personally think that the young cellists are really good too, for example Pablo Ferrandez, Zlatomir Fung, Narek Hakhnazarian,... I really like the more modern playing style and I think their technique is extremely good as well. But of course they are all playing on a really high level and this is just criticism on a very high niveau.
Moreover the fact he is amongst the very best world class cellists, Gautier is really respectuous of people in general. When listening to him while speaking, you can understand he is simply full of modesty, not proud of his talent. "Chapeau bas" mister Capuçon and thank you for the gift you are to music and melomanes.
Прекрасно изпълнен този концерт,толкова мелодичен с романтична приповдигнатост, но с мярка! Възторга на публиката е напълно заслуга на този прекрасен челист!!!
Saint-Saens is always unpredictable along all his compositions... that is quite fine because of the surprise one can find. Here, Gautier plays him exactly as it should be!! And with this wonderful HR FRANKFURT Sinfonie and the correct conduction the result is outstanding. Thank you!!!
Anyone else captivated by the fact that they are not just “playing “ this concerto. This is an academy award winning lullaby equipped with imagination, creativity, artistry, and poetic sensory overload. Pure joy - raw emotion. Wow, where is my golden buzzer. Saint-Saëns himself rolled over twice during this display…
My 17 yo grandson played this as his final performance with his private tutor"s group after only 4 practices. He said he listened to this several times. I was amazed at his performance. He leaves for college & hopefully will join their music department! I started him in 3rd grade and that instructor saw his talent too. His middle school and high school have outstanding music programs and it shows by his accomplishments!
The sound he makes pour out of that thing is amazing. It's a 1701 Goffriller, I believe. I LOVE his vibrato and those Basses at 16:53 made hairs stand up on my neck.
Boa tarde. A todos. Particularmente nunca vi alguém que interpretasse com tanta beleza e harmonia uma obra desse belo trabslho artistico do compositor por uma pessoa da mesma patria. Impecável. Parabens. Gautier. ❤ Quem me dera ter um professor de violoncelo assim como voce. Ou voce mesmo.
Gautier Capuçon,un merveilleux musicien que je ne me lasse pas d'écouter et de regarder.Son interprétation du concerto de Saint-Saëns me bouleverse au plus haut point.
Also give credit to Saint-Saens for his skilful and transparent orchestration that allows both soloist and orchestra to be clearly heard throughout the piece, throughout the cello's entire register. Tovey commented that this is much more difficult than it seems.
This has to be the cello concerto to end all cello concertos. Wonderfully done by this Gautier. I'll admit I don't know the names of all the great cellists out there, but I know a great one when I here one.
@@chrollium6111 Tovey commented how it not only displays every register but also that it is never swamped by the orchestral accompaniment. Plus being very ingeniously constructed.
By far the best interpretation on TH-cam for me. I love rubato. Capucon is one of best cellists alive today. Incredible conducting and orchestral accompaniment too!
@@ligetisspaghetti5763 OK, take away Dvorak and Elgar, and probably Shostakovich 1. What else would you suggest, particularly from the romantic era? I would also count the Tchaikovsky Rococo Variations even though they aren't a true concerto. Even Tovey, no friend of Saint-Saens, praised this concerto highly.
@@iankemp1131 I don’t really like the romantic era. However I do highly recommend the Schnitkke Cello Concerto. One of the best pieces of music ever written.
@@ligetisspaghetti5763 Everyone to their own taste. As for Shostakovich himself, he considered the best ever cello concerto to be ... Saint-Saens No.1.
On dirait que Saint-Saëns a eu la prémonition de créer ce concerto pour violoncelle afin que Monsieur Gauthier CAPUÇON l'interprète. Il faut dire que l'orchestre symphonique de Radio Francfort joue d'une manière équilibrée à l'image de la répartition des artistes hommes et femmes qui le composent. Et le tout devient une magnifique pièce musicale sous la direction aérienne et éclairée de Monsieur Alain ALTINOGLOU. Félicitations et grands mercis à tous pour ce beau moment d'harmonie.
In addition to the beauty of Saint-Saens' music, the HD quality of the video focuses one's attention also on visual details - which gave me the following thought. This was in Frankfurt, a city by now famous for its ethnic diversity. Good to see all those different ethnicities proportionately represented in the audience&orchestra, enjoying the city's cultural life. Oh wait, it's just the usual two (Europeans, East Asians). Oh well... I guess we do still have some affordable street food by way of a cultural contribution from some of those other well-represented ethnicities in Frankfurt, for whom there were better things to do that night than to come to the Alte Oper to listen to some shmancy classical music. We should all still thank them for *that* contribution.
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses romantischen und perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit mildem doch gut artikuliertem Ton des genialen Solocellos und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen anderer Instrumente. Der intelligente Maestro dirigiert das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt künstlerisch!
In this performance, all is far suprior splendor, especially, the wonderfulness and comfort of his cello sound are off the charts, and beyond description.
Sem dúvida alguma é a melhor interpretação desse concerto, me emociono cada vez que vejo. É uma inspiração pra mim, e saber que posso chegar no mesmo nível é algo surpreendente, só basta acreditar. É perfeito!
Perfect playing by everyone. I like this concerto when it feels like both orchestra and cello are moving ahead in the same direction with great energy and conversing as equals. Here maybe it is a little slow, with ample buttering, tempo moving and pathos by the cellist for a 20 min concerto. Yet it does all seems to work in the end.
Such heartfelt and melodious playing. The Saint-Saens piece is gorgeous, the conductor and orchestra are perfect. I wish I could have been there to hear it in person. For now we must comfort ourselves with You Tube, for which I am grateful.
@@ligetisspaghetti5763 because this an opinion, there is no incorrect. I’m guessing you - like most - believe that the Dvorak is the best. It is great, but I believe the Elgar and Prokofiev are the best
@@andrewanderson3016 lmao it was a joke bc I like to Slander Saint-Saens. My favorite cello concertos are actually Schnitkke and Shostakovich 1, 2. I also like Elgar and Dvorak ofc. Prokofiev is aight imo.
Great performance of this beautiful, thrilling concerto! I love the way that Capucon played the coda, with such rubato, such exhilaration! The power of great music! Reminds me of the great cellists of the past! thank you for posting. .
Though Jascha Heifetz said, "If I don't practice one day, I know it; two days, the critics know it; three days, the public knows it", I think he had an even better understanding of it: "Practice like it means everything in the world to you. Perform like you don't give a damn." In other words, it's not how long one practices, but whether one practices with attention and intention. Quantity doesn't always produce quality.
A really beautiful performance, don't know if it was just me but I felt the sound of the cello just so vivid and clear, like I was there, it was different from other performances I have seen before.
What a splendid performance of this beautiful and electrifying masterpiece! M. Capuçon's phrasing was irresistable and Maestro Altinoglu was right with him all the way. thank you!
Fantastic job with videography and editing - absolutely love the closeups, the various angles, seeing faces in the audience... made me feel I was there... not to mention the gorgeous performance!
OK. That has to be one of the most fantastic cello performances I've ever seen. In a word, wow! Many thanks for posting this. (PS - why are people not standing and applauding?!)
Robert Cohn, interesting question re "why are people not standing and applauding." I've lived/visited several cities in the U.S.A., and the one city in which an audience ruined a concert for me was Washington, D.C. The audiences there are so very stoic and no enthusiasm.
Unspeakably lovely. The cellist is phenomenal. If I could be reincarnated, I'd start early learning to play the violoncello. I read about Gautier Capuçon, some bio material. Fascinating. And I'm envious of his thick hair since I have lost most of mine. I love the way it falls down over his brow when he goes ballistic. So wonderful! And he is very gracious to his audience and the other members of the orchestra.
Theyre not particularly insane by any stretch imo, but they do require a decent amount of tuning simply due to the exposed nature of octaves in general. With good thumb position technique one shouldn’t have much of a problem
I just noticed that subtle detail at 14:16, on the low C, he uses sympathetic vibrations to his advantage and adds a hint of vibrato to the sound through the 4th finger on the G string. Not quite sure on the specifics of the physics, but it definitely seems to work in varying the intensity of the note, even if it doesn't change the pitch as much as traditional vibrato.
how to play the last theme of the saint saens cello concerto: 1. actually play it 2. smile at the concertmaster 3. bob your head at that one part (you know it)
I love that comment. Maybe we all should strive to shine a light into the moral dark universe. However we can. I just love this. I could spend pages writing about it. But I won't. That would be too narcissistic. I'll just listen in extacy.
Not only is his cello talent quite impressive, he also has great hair.
visually and audibly pleasing haha
Dracula Hair
Haha.....😂
his hair gives him his powers

I was supposed to see this exact performance at Carnegie Hall tonight but it's cancelled due to the virus...thank goodness I have this as backup

My fav cello concierto of all the time. Thank you Gautier for these emotions ...from Fort Worth, Texas
I’m no expert on cello technique but my ears tell me that the playing here is absolute perfection :-)

If I saw this live, I would be unapologetically on my feet in a heartbeat, cheering quite loudly. Breathtaking
17:35 A tear in the corner of his eye is so beautiful (idk it just says so much to me)

I think 3rd movement starts at 11:58
Everyone in this whole orchestra is absolutely fantastic. Wow.
The sound he makes pour out of that thing is amazing. It's a 1701 Goffriller, I believe. I LOVE his vibrato and those Basses at 16:53 made hairs stand up on my neck.
Yes, he named it L’Ambassadeur.
That part gave me chills

I've never enjoyed a Cello Concerto before Like I enjoyed this one by Saint-Saëns. Incredible Performance
Not a concerto ,but try listening to Beethoven's cello sonata number 2 , particular Rostropovich's interpretation of it
I like how he lowers his own volume to let the orchestra shine.
Yeah, he always knows the orchestra's part and does score study.
Also give credit to Saint-Saens for his skilful and transparent orchestration that allows both soloist and orchestra to be clearly heard throughout the piece, throughout the cello's entire register. Tovey commented that this is much more difficult than it seems.
@@iankemp1131 lo
@@awakenedbahamut2574 that should be the case with all soloists, but some lack the tasteful judgement of their own dynamics
This is straight up the best performance of this I've ever seen
Have you heard Janos starker play this piece ? Unbelievable, but one of the greatest rendition I’d by mstlav Rostropovich bar none
Another great rendition is the one Bruno Phillipe plays. So full of emotion and definitely one of the best renditions of this concerto.
This one's way better

Quelle belle soirée passée avec notre cher Gautier ! Je découvre ce concerto et je ne suis plus dans ce monde......Merci Gautier merci l’orchestre !

Ah yes, quite. I'm also quite immensely educated on the sciences and stuff like that 🤥
I’m a violinist and I was taught to vibrate like that on open strings but I never knew why lol
It works because the note he’s fingering on the G string is also a C! It causes sympathetic vibrations in the overtone series
@@GlowSt_ck yes you're right
Fun fact: if you play the C on the G string and look at the C string you'll see it vibrate
