- Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt - cello | Keiko Tamura - piano
He appears tirelessly as soloist for renowned orchestras as well as holding a professorship for cello at the University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar. Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt is both artist and educator: His students regularly win large music competitions, earning high ranking orchestra positions. As a student of both David Geringas und Aldo Parisot, Schmidt has already led the way. A solo carrier has taken him to the Berlin Philharmonic, Carnegie Hall and Tokyo’s Suntory Hall. As a chamber musician he has performed with artists such as Lang Lang and Emanuel Ax. Together with Jens Peter Maintz he forms the duo Cello Duello.

Beautiful! What a good pianist, too!
They both are obviously amazing and at the top of the game. Congratulations!!! Two masters on stage. Thank you for taking your time to record and share it on YT Mr. Schmidt, Mrs. Tamura and HFM Weimar ♡
Mr. Schmidt, this is the way to show the World what is the sound of cello in 2016 - something we can all look up to.
Congratulations as well to the sound engineers and whoever mastered the recording, wonderful quality of the sound.
This is all around such a great piece. The slow movement is beautiful, and the fast movement is light, and so much fun to play and listen to. I'll never grow tired of it. Played amazingly by Schmidt!
A superb performance. So much warmth and colour in the cello tone, such attention to phrasing and to nuances of intensity.And such élan! Great collaboration between the two artists. Bravi to both!
I have to say, the pianist has a fantastic sense of dynamics and phrasing and these two are clearly listening to each other! The cellist also has a beautiful, raw vibrato and sense of delicacy. Brava!
you look like a pro
fantastic comments
I agree
Thanks! I guess I am a pro :P
I cannot agree more. I can feel strong presence of pianist in this piece ! and it's so well balanced and beautiful that it reminds me this piece actaully composed for both 'piano' and 'cello' 😀
Sounds Amazing! BRAVO!!
Thrilling!
Beautiful!!!
The best interpretation of this piece, my layman’s opInion. Thank you so much for the pleasure!
wow. breathtaking
Прекрасный дуэт! Какое понимание друг друга И ШУМАНА!!!! Чудесно!!!
This is simply the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listen to Lynn Harrell’s adagio mix it with Schmidt’s Allegro it becomes the best
Fantastic！
Bellísimo!!!
Mega!!!
I am interested to learn that Wolfgang Emanuel Schmidt studied under Aldo Parisot. Although I had previously studied with Maurice Gendron at the Conservatoire in Paris, it was only once I had become a pupil of Aldo's, at the Yale University School of Music, that I really learned most of what I still find useful about cello technique, many decades after the period of my apprenticeship. Although Aldo may not have been the greatest cellist of his generation, he was a phenomenally good teacher.
3:14 it so beautiful and soft

I've only ever heard this performed on a French horn; did Schumann specify the piece's instrumentation? (Pianist is marvellous too, not just the cellist.)
It's not easy for cellists either. One, because it's Schumann, and two, because not only is the human lung limited, but also the bow. But it's probably more difficult for Horn.
@luciomaestroI've started playing it on horn and I really like it tbh
I bet the pianists fight to play this concert with him
Beste Cellist in der Welt

0:38 Please can anyone tell me this asthmatic inhaling sound is coming from? I know it comes from the Cello but in what condition does this ‘asthmatic inhaling’ sound come from? Is it because of the way he is bowing? I have listened to various versions of this piece and most of the inhaling sounds are pretty clear.
I really want to listen to this beautiful music without doubt of what it is... Cause listening to this without knowing where that sound comes from makes me feel like I’m not breathing properly...
it's the cellist's actual breathing not the cello
How could a cello make this sound 🤣
Come on man 😂😂
Cellists are well known for their enormous breathing.

Schöner kann man das nicht spielen
Ich bestätige !🙂🎶
Allegro has no sweep. Bitsy, in sections, not carried through, not characterised, is cautious.
Lmao blasphemy
??
Several issues with this performance. The microphone selection is all wrong for this duo. There is very little bass register in the piano. Sounds thin and compressed. The cello sounds like a viola. Also the phrasing is rigid and metronomic. This is a romantic work. So where is the ebb and flow? This doesn't move me.
“Once in a golden hour
I cast to earth a seed.
Up there came a flower,
The people said, a weed.”
Tr1Pz try to play it better ;)
From your incompetence it's safe to conclute that you are a musical critique ...
You don't know what you're saying. Keep listening, eventually you'll understand.
I am in agreement with Tr1Pz. The performance of the cellist does not match his self confidence.
Too much tenuto
