Barber Cello Sonata · Jonah Kim & Dominic Cheli [LIVE COMPLETE]

I. Allegro ma non troppo (00:00)
II. Adagio. Scherzo. Adagio (8:49)
III. Allegro appassionato (13:45)
Samuel Barber stands as one of America’s most popular composers. In his works, Barber combines many components that could seem contradictory: his “American” voice with the European tradition; his romantic predisposition with musical modernity; and his originality with his knowledge and use of classical forms. The Sonata for Violoncello and Piano, Op. 6 is a good example of how Barber beautifully balances these elements.
Barber is a splendid melodist, partly as a result, perhaps, of his abilities as a singer. (At age 14, Barber was one of the first students at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia, where he studied voice as well as piano and composition.)
The Cello Sonata was completed in 1932, while Barber was a student at Curtis, but it is in no way a “student piece.” It is the creation of a fully mature master composer. Barber worked on the Sonata with cellist Orlando Cole, who made many suggestions; Cole and Barber gave the first performances of the piece in 1933.

my goodness, how good you are.🥰
I'm a cellist, I'm also curious about your position on the chair, the cello with the very extended tip.
I'll try it too maybe it will help my sore right shoulder

This is an amazing performance!

Thank you so much!

この曲聴くとバイオリンよりもチェロだよなぁと思う。チェロは高音から低音まで幅広く特に低音の魅力が圧倒的です。

Yes, pretty big range!
