  • Cellist Jean-Guihen Queyras plays the solo section in the performance of Robert Schumann's Cello Concerto in A minor, Op. 129 with the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra (FBO) conducted by Pablo Heras-Casado. The concert took place in 2014 in the Philharmonie Berlin.
    The Concerto for Cello in A minor was the first work that Robert Schumann composed in Düsseldorf. In 1850, Schumann was appointed the city’s Municipal Music Director, and he and his family received an enthusiastic welcome to the city on the Rhine. It was the first time Schumann had written a work for an instrument with which he himself was not familiar. In order to improve the cello passages, he sought advice from Robert Emil Bockmühl, a cello virtuoso who was famous at the time, but did not implement his suggestions into the final composition. The Cello Concerto did not conform to traditional ideas of a solo concerto and as such, no cellist was found to play it during Schumann's lifetime. The piece only premiered four years after Schumann's death in 1860.
    The melodious opening theme of the cello concerto fully exhausts the instrument's range and creates a serene mood that becomes decisive for the work. In each of the three movements, the opening theme reappears - in highly varied forms and in different moods. Because of its form, Schumann's Cello Concerto is considered unique within the genre. It places very high demands on the soloist and it is one of the great romantic works for the instrument.
    The Freiburger Barockorchester (“Freiburg Baroque orchestra”) began with a spontaneous idea that has developed into a unique musical success story. On a New Year's Eve more than 30 years ago, music students in Freiburg decided to start an orchestra dedicated exclusively to historically informed performance practice, played on period instruments. The FBO first performed concerts in the Freiburg area in 1987. Today, the orchestra is world-famous. In addition to its own concert series in Freiburg, Stuttgart and Berlin, the FBO performs in the most important international concert halls and is considered one of the most distinguished early music ensembles worldwide.

    Wunderbar klare, elegante und doch kraftvolle Aufführung, Orchester und Solist bilden eine großartige Einheit.
    Endlich einmal klingt Schumann nicht nach Dvorak.

    a true artist. I love Jean's interpretation. He makes me vibrate everytime I listen to him!

    Este concierto para celllo es para mi una obra muy bella en la que se destaca en diferentes momentos la fuerza y vigor propia de Robert. MB

    Queyras is great of course, but the orchestra is especially good here...I haven't heard an orchestra sound so tight on this piece

    Schuman era melancolico esto no tiene tristeza no es cuestion de perfeccion sino de sentimiento , el toca muy bien pero parece que ha tenido una vida perfecta , el no sufre ,hay que sufrir en el corazon profundamente para tocar schuman es lo mas bello brahms podia ser un genio pero schuman era el corazon en carne viva latiendo intentando lidiar con el sufrimiento diario de una vida , apasionado traicionado dolido , con un sufrimiento interno constantemente quejoso de la desgracia que vivia pero con el corazon abierto creo que schuman debio ser un ser humano increible bueno noble y humilde su musica es de alguien que tiene el corazon limpio y sufre por los detalles de la vida por el amor incomprendido y tambien por el amor al projimo .

      Well I don't think so. If one doesn't make as much rubato or doesn't vibrate like you would want, you think it's not a deep interpretation... he takes another approach, one can see it after first few bars. For me, and I've heard many interpretations, this one is very refreshing and offers some different view on the music.

    Interesting performance of baroque style on Schumann Concerto. Overall nice and clean. The rhythm break of the ascending septuplets, the accent on the A, swelling of long notes, and lack of vibrato are all unfortunate musical choices.

    • @pierrelandy9755
      @pierrelandy9755 Před rokem +10

      Schumann actually wrote an accent on the A :) I found the whole interpretation great, and I think it matches the particular sound of this baroque orchestra very beautifully.

      This is NOT Baroque style. They're all playing on 19th-century instruments. Read EVERY 19th century source on the use of vibrato (which they called "tremolo" INCLUDING Schumann, Brahms, Jockisch, Joachim, and Leopold Auer) I will grant you that the soloist is very wayward about those septuplets, and the tempi of the first two movements are way too slow.

    • @internationaloleandersocie2333
      @internationaloleandersocie2333 Před 6 měsíci +1

      Actually, that accent mark on the A in the second bar of the solo was suggested by Bockmuehl, the first soloist. It doesn't appear in any of the manuscript materials which were used to prepare the first edition.@@pierrelandy9755

      I recently discovered this absolute master. (Sorry for my ignorance.
      His playing is a lot less dramatic than most other great cellists but i find his playing more sublime and maybe closer to composer's intend.
      Though i think his playing is quite "baroque" mainly articulations without much sustain.
      But his bach suite is one of the best if not the best!

    It really sounds so French. A lot of non vibrato. Different kind of expressiveness. Not my cup of tea.
