Brannon Cho, cello Susanna Mälkki, conductor Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra Paulo Cello Competition final Helsinki Music Centre October 26, 2018 Encore: Bach Suite no. 6 Allemande
For those who wonder, the 6th Suite was written for a 5-string 'cello. I've played the prelude to the 6th. Definitely not a walk in the park, but it's a freaking glorious thing.
This is such a gorgeous harmonically and rhythmically fascinating piece. I most 'umbly submit that there was no greater writer of melody in the 20th Century. A truly unique voice. Bravo!
Every time I watch this video, it gives me 100% motivation to practice. That 2nd mvt. cadenza is 🔥! I’ve probably watched this video more than 20 times by now.
This has gotta be the best interpretation of the Symphony-Concerto imo. His technique is impeccable and he pulls such incredible musical lines out of the score. Slava’s interpretation may be the OG but I think Cho bests him on expressive grounds
holy shit this is phenomenal.. i was engaged throughout the whole piece. everyone knows Prokofiev Symphony Concerto is damn long.. not an easy feat, but you did it. damn
This is the 1st recording of this concerto I have heard since the powerful recording by Dmitry Rostropovich. Cho & the orchestra emphathise all the light-hearted moments while the recording by the esteemed cellist Rostropovich fails since it presents only agony without a moment of delight.
it´s so well played, no vibrato terror, i like the piece so much. Brannen cho is wonderful and Mälkki a really great conductor (trust me, I don't say that about everyone). Lynn Harrell made 2 wonderful recordings of the Sinf. Concertante.
Really great, like his Cello tone. Mrs. Mälkki has a great stick technique, which is not often for the new generation of female conductors, great! I like her Messian (Symphony) and Szymanowski with Tetzlaff also.
I've always had some problems to get this work. I think the 1st movement is the least satisfying overall. I feel it too serious, without much grace or spark. Otherwise, the other movements prove to be meatier in expressivity, also with more memorable thematic material. The cellist plays this fiendishly difficult piece with an impressive technique. Definitely this performance opened my ears to this piece.
I think, the orchestra is doing its best in keeping up with the artist. I think, the result is just a very lively interpretation, at times wobbely, but it is live.
Insanely good... 🔥
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve watched this…
Same…it’s gotta be over 100 by now
Someone is obsessed
Go watch the one by Rostropovich it is way better
@@UMBFGuy are you sure about that?
Not only did he play the hardest cello concerto brilliantly, he also played the hardest Bach suite as his encore.
For those who wonder, the 6th Suite was written for a 5-string 'cello. I've played the prelude to the 6th. Definitely not a walk in the park, but it's a freaking glorious thing.
he really hit that high E at the very end. incredible
00:00 Andante
11:18 Allegro giusto
30:50 Andante con moto - Allegro
Second movement so good that the audience couldn't help but applaud.
… and this in Finnland. Quite reserved people. It was just necessary to applaud.
@@christophbader3713no, it’s actually very disrespectful to clap in between movement of a piece
One of the best performance I have ever heard! Bravo
30:22 Woo!
Pretty sure thats Hans messing with Brannon for fun!!
Brawner Nope it was a random audience member! Hans was in Chicago during this time! 😂
The intonation is on point 🙌🏽
The only mistake in the video are the ads interrupting the performance
This is such a gorgeous harmonically and rhythmically fascinating piece. I most 'umbly submit that there was no greater writer of melody in the 20th Century. A truly unique voice. Bravo!
You can see how the other musicians from the orchestra are enjoying the music, that is so good
Just his technique alone has me baffled, every single note without fail is as efficient as possible, amazing performance
Virtuosité prodibgieuse chez ce jeune violoncelliste dans PROKOFIEV , et une belle musicalité dans l'ALLEMANDE de BACH ; Bravo !
Dude he nailed the end, just epic
Charming, Musical, in style and so brillllliant!!! thank you.
This is so beautiful while being technically being insanely good! Glad to see Kian Soltani noticing it, too!
12:22 just sounds so cool

A crisp salute to the Slava = OG metaphor
@@adamcathcart -- "Original Gangstah" ?? Cheers from Acapulco!
Your playing has touched me the most amongst all these talented young artists. Bravo!
holy shit this is phenomenal..
i was engaged throughout the whole piece. everyone knows Prokofiev Symphony Concerto is damn long.. not an easy feat, but you did it. damn

Wow! I'm so glad I found this
Sensational Mastery....Breathtaking.....BRAVO from Acapulco!
Wow wow wow wow... I can't believe how good this is. Truly incredible.
Je la connaissais par 'Rostro' , écoutée cent fois, Brannon nous en donne une merveilleuse diction, quel intense bonheur...
Beautiful!

My favourite is the second movement, so charming and thrashing at the same time
Second movement was on point 👌 🔥
Très belle interprétation d'une pièce redoutablement difficile, mais aussi musicalement sensible et profonde.
25:13 So powerful and intense!
Bravo!!!
Congratulations to soloist,Bravo,Thank you
Bravo . I cried . Wow
Bravo!!
Epic
Oh-my-god! 🔥
Amazing🥰
My favourite recording of one of my favourite concertos from my favourite composer. It's sublime. Thank you!
Brannon, you have my whole respect, there was not one note you didn't hit perfectly!
Amazing...
That cello is huge!
Whoa!
it´s so well played, no vibrato terror, i like the piece so much. Brannen cho is wonderful and Mälkki a really great conductor (trust me, I don't say that about everyone). Lynn Harrell made 2 wonderful recordings of the Sinf. Concertante.
18:49 Cadenza
c'est très beau
Whoooo bravo
0:52 ive lost track of how many times ive heard that part. its just too pretty
38:15 is absolutely gorgeous.
Really great, like his Cello tone. Mrs. Mälkki has a great stick technique, which is not often for the new generation of female conductors, great! I like her Messian (Symphony) and Szymanowski with Tetzlaff also.

I love how he quotes his owns works.
Algo digno de escuchar una y mil veces más, maravillosa ejecución
Очень сложна вещь и какое восхитительное исполнение.
38:10
One of the best moments in this piece
도입부가 좋아요.
I can't find any mistakes 😢❤
I think the 2nd movement has one of the hardest cello cadenzas for a concert?
very good

Brannon? I’d say Cannon Cho!
37:20 - 39:40 (a light snow begins late in the evening)
21:51 - 23:00 (A causal and almost humorous exchange)

엄마가 부럽당!
Amazing performance of such a great piece, but as a cellist it hurts me to see that sweat on the cello around 21:30, it really hurts the varnish

Also sprach Zarathustra You are insane.

Τρέλα καλό καλιτερο
Great performance, orchestra could make some improvements tho, still a very VERY hard piece of music to complete
I think, the orchestra is doing its best in keeping up with the artist. I think, the result is just a very lively interpretation, at times wobbely, but it is live.
Haven't really exposed myself to Prokofiev too much, i hear that was a mistake.
소리에 표정이 짖다!
당신은 변현제 입니까?
Choo plays very god,but orchestra plays just terrible.every difficult place just not together.
the conductor is doing the bare minimum too
不吉すぎる笑
