There actually is one cough and it has bothered the heck out of me because it clearly is one of those "I'm just gonna cough here so I'm forever in this recording" and not a sincere cough type of coughs. 😭
@@theshillingvillain i thought i was the only one that got bothered by coughing in recordings, glad im not alone... an example of an asshole coughing just for the sake of it is in starker's legendary cello recital in japan, funny enough the cough is also in this piece, it completely ruined the 3rd movment for me, which is sad, because starker's rendition of this piece is the closest thing to perfection we'll ever get with this piece due to its difficulty, and it was ruined because one asshole thought "aight, imma just cough my lungs out in the most lyrical part of the 3rd movement", this bothered me to the point that i edited the 3rd movment out of starker's rendition and glued in sebastian baversteim version of the 3rd
Here I am again...five months on! I simply don't believe what I am hearing! If I'd stuck with my Cello lessons instead of racing motorcycles...I would have given up on hearing this man play! This piece with this artist is the centre of my world of music. Celibedache has the next 5-6 places covered!
Koranyi, after listening to Starker's interpretation I thought I understood the piece but listening to your interpretation revealed some wonderful new nuances. Bravo! You're immediately in my top list of cello players.
If one factors in the genius of the composer, the superhuman technical, musical and interpretive skill of the performer and the manifest craftsmanship of the luthier responsible for his part in the mix, this video, imho, represents the very pinnacle of human achievement. Culture, artistry, skill and craftmanship doesn't really get any better than this.
I keep coming back to this vid...can't get enough of it! I have always been a Starker Man, but Jacob is an absolute master of his craft. If I had continued with my Cello lessons as a kid, this stuff is what I would have aspired to! THIS IS BRILLIANT PLAYING!
I am overwhelmed... he scrutinizes every detail & nuance to the nth degree. What a steady right hand in his bow preparations! I had the privilege, back in the 70s, to see my good friend, Mannfried Funk, prepare this musical treasure for his Master's recital w/ coaching from Barton Frank @ Western Washington University. I'll see Mannfried 4/8 when Trio Seattle plays in my area. I'm looking forward to seeing my old friend again & talk shop & old times. I have a lot of questions for him about the Kodaly. Knowing Mannfried, I'm sure he will warm to the subject. Lyle Zahn
NICE POST LYLE!....everyone commenting here is showing fine good judgement > I am so delighted to have triggered the so much interest in this work! I salute all of you, who have responded so positively!
Wonderful what the human body can do in terms of composing and playing music, building instruments and interpreting sound, dynamics, volume. Beautifully and wonderous played by Jakob Koranyi. Thank you!
GRRRR! I couldn't help myself! ! wandered off to have a listen to him playing Ligeti and 'Variations on a Rococo Theme' - I am no judge, but, I can't believe that I will ever hear anyone better! What an absolute Smart Ass player this guy is!!
WOW! Until now I believed that Janos Starker had a 'mortgage' on this piece...this is beautiful playing and possibly what Kodaly really had in mind when he composed it!
Thomas Merácz Couldn't agree more Thomas! HUGE difference...sounds sacrilegious, but I'll take Jakob's version! It is beautiful and undoubtedly what Kodaly had in mind when he composed it! PURE MAGIC!
Thomas Merácz Couldn't agree with you more Thomas! No comparison! I am sure we'll NEVER hear better! I know this stuff is all subjective...but I'll stick my neck out on this one! INCOMPARABLE!
I would argue Koranyi performs with better technique as well. You will never hear anyone play this sonata with this level of precision and tone. Julian Steckel comes somewhat close but Jakob is just in a different league.
Me Too, I din't know why people rave over Starker's playing without exhibiting passion. Just look at Fournier's recirding of this piece. His face and body are so immobile that, at first, I thought he was looking to his left to read the score. After all, music is what you hear! C A B
I enjoyed this performance very much. Why is it necessary to compare this performance to Starker's? Should we judge every performance we hear? I don't enjoy listening to music that way.
It’s important to note our differences, but not to compare by saying one is better than another. Both this and Starker’s recording are exceptional recordings.
@@arturoromero951 I'm sorry but this is much better than Starker's if our criteria of evaluation is rhythmic consistency, intonation, attention to dynamics, tone, etc. It's time to acknowledge the newer generation such as Mr. Koranyi who is a master.
S.L I agree that Koranyi’s recording is a really amazing recording in terms of everything, but I also agree that it is important to seek out other recordings of this work, since it can help give musicians an idea of how they feel like they want to interpret it. In my opinion, both this and Starker’s are great recordings in two different ways; Starker is more scruff and semi-old school with his tone, intonations, and rhythms/articulations, whereas Koranyi is more cleaner and more fluid in terms of those characteristics. However, both are awesome recordings. We should give a lot of credit to Koranyi, but we should keep in mind that other musicians have their exceptional qualities. Just saying, since I am a cellist giving constructive feedback lol 😂 not trying to offend anyone
Hats off to you Mr Koranyi! Your performance is absolutely fantastic! Your playing is so expressive, so alive, so determined. And thanks a lot for this upload! I listen to it again and again without weariness.
Wow! What a playing... David Lindberg!! The sound engineer... one of the best cello sound takes I'd ever heard. Congratulations!! Also the video (not so much the illumination) a so great piece of work, and so respectful with the music. Not common. It's a shame I couldn't find your contact in google to congratulate you.
Great to here! David Lindberg is now David Tarrodi. This is one of the first music performance films he made. Now he runs the company Yellow Tone - based in Stockholm Sweden, mainly focusing on shooting classical music. www.yellowtone.se
This is truly 'otherworldly' stuff. This must be my 20th odd playing of this video. I can't believe what I am hearing...All my life, since I started taking Cello lessons at 18 (too late and besides, I was also racing motorcycles!) I have stuck with Fournier, Starker and Rostropovich. I don't know why I even bothered listening to a cellist I had never heard of...but, glad I did! This guy is plain unnatural - what else there to say? Heavenly....
+Mick Dunn At least you took cello lessons. I've been trying to take violin lessons myself. I could have listened to this Kodály piece on CD, MP3 or vinyl, but watching a professional performer play it (with eyes closed most of the time) is a true delight of the senses.
@@Feniso Interesting! Maybe, I should have garaged the motorcycle and carried on with the Cello!! (you should see my full body scan! White smudges everywhere, where bones got broken!!)
@@mikedunn7553 Ouch. Well, you might not play Kodaly Sonata, but I bet you can afford some Bach in a few years. I am going to start piano and I'm 40. I will be ok if I can play Mozart or Satie. Anyway: Rostropovich did learn with his father before the conservatory. He was the best. :P
Well, there's something taciturn in the way Koranyi plays, or it's about his cello itself, or even both. It remembers me the darkest composers from Eastern Europe. It doesn't decrease his talent - far from it -; however he differs a lot from Ferrández, Sulic, Bratelid - as we can include him in the new generation of cellists - which makes him unique.
Excellent, just excellent! As a young student while in Prague I stumbled upon notes of Kodaly's Hungarian dances for violin. Technically it was obvious what one should do. But... I am so gratefull my late professor Gyula Teseny who opened this door for me.
fantastic playing! love the concentration and the quality of your contact to the cello. it seems that the best ones like you always will have to struggle with comparisons to old masters, which is fair since we build what we do on their wisdom and achievements however every person is different, nationalities and languages are. how could i possibly as half german/norwegian with my personal life play as i.e. starker or any other of the great masters did. at least to me its always an enrichment to listen to new interpretations that mange to find their individual way between the composition/the composer and themselves.
For me...this is by far the best recording of the work! I think Koranyi really nailed it! SUPERB! >>> Can someone who has the skills to do so make a heading for this page? Is it possible? I am a Professional Graphics man but I don't think that I can do the video true justice!
Great performance! Really inspirational stuff :) I was wondering though was it really in front of an audience or was that added in at the end? You couldn't see the crowd and with all the camera angles it seemed like you were really making a studio recording.
Brilliant performance! For me personally three of the best performances of this work are from Janos Starker, Jakob Koranyi and Istvan Vardai. Let me know if there is another one I’ve forgot!
Yes, there's a mostly-forgotten-about recording by Gisela Depkat from 1978! My fav interpretation and performance I've heard. Check it out. You're welcome. :) th-cam.com/video/A6TT2pLYM6I/w-d-xo.html
