Karl Yulievich Davydov (15 March [O.S. 3 March] 1838 -- 26 February [O.S. 14 February] 1889) was a Russian cellist of great renown during his time, and described by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky as the "tsar of cellists". Arensky dedicated his first piano trio to Davydov's memory. He was also a composer, mainly for the cello.
Davydov was the son of a physician from Courland. His elder brother August Davydov was a noted mathematician and educator, and his nephew Alexei Davidov also became cellist and composer and also a businessman.
In his youth Davydov studied mathematics at St. Petersburg University, and then pursued a career as a composer, studying with Moritz Hauptmann at the Leipzig Conservatory. He became a full-time cellist in 1850 while continuing to compose in his spare time. He later became head of the St Petersburg Conservatory. He had many students, including Aleksandr Verzhbilovich.
In 1870 Count Wilhorsky, a patron of the arts, presented Davydov with a Stradivarius cello constructed in 1712. This cello, now known as the Davidov Stradivarius, was owned by Jacqueline du Pré until her death and is currently on loan to cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
He intended to write an opera on the subject of Mazeppa. Viktor Burenin wrote a libretto for this purpose in 1880, but when Davydov proved unable to find the time to compose, Burenin offered the libretto to Tchaikovsky.
Although closely associated with Tchaikovsky, Karl Davydov was not related to the Davydov clan into which Tchaikovsky's sister Alexandra married. Davydov died in Moscow on February 26, 1889.
So amazingly well played! I can't stop listening...
A family of Intelligent people, in both science and arts & business!
Great interpretation!
The Work lives with the gaze we give it. It is not limited either to what it is or to the person who produced it, it is also made by the one who hears it. Music and Painting are a space of questioning and meditation where the senses that we attribute to it can come and be made and undone🕊️
A masterpiece that holds one so powerfully that words are really not enough to express.
Oui c'est un chef d'oeuvre composé par un jeune homme Russe de 20 ans . 20 !!!!!!
Great concerto! Sounds quite romantic!
'cellists often complain about a lack of things to play, While Tuba players and Bassists could complain they don't as much as 'cellists. I wish 'cellists would look beyond their own blinkers !!!! . There are loads and loads of concertos like this one that are very worth while and rewarding.
Totally agree! There is such a wealth of underappreciated gems to be found (just look on IMSLP). The Haydn, Dvorak, etc is great, but there is so much more to learn.
I totally agree with you (I'm cellist by the way)
VERY TRUE, THOUGH I AM ONLY A LISTENER WHO HAS LOST BOTH LOWER LEGS, SO HAVE LOTS OF TIME TO SEARCH FOR CDS AND ON YOU TUBE FOR VERY RARELY PLAYED WORKS..
Such as?
Oui c'est vrai .Ils sont musicalement formatés par une conception occidentale de la musique qui est maintenant complètement has been .Le concerto en question est redoutable mais quels superbes thèmes, quelle invention !!!! C'est un Russe pour rappel, sans équivalent aux USA ou en Europe
The only Davidoff I knew of till now, I associated with the cigars I smoked. What a gain it is to learn about Karl Davydov! Thank you also for the valuable information you provided.
The concerto ... and performance ... are ... sublime!
+mmbmbmbmb Never heard of 'Cool Water' cologne by Davidoff...? :) But yes, it is sublime...
Brilliant!
É simplesmente um deleite para os ouvidos...
Incredible 👏🏾
love this peace I am learning to play it!
+shostiboy Thanks for indicating this is worth getting to know!
Si capisce perchè era il cellista ammirato da Tchaikowski.
Tecnica e maestria strumentale.
Magnificent.
Que hermoso concierto!
OmgggDavydov i love u
très brillant, concerto intéressant ; pourquoi le Stradivarius et-il parti en Chine ? pour moi yo yo pas si brillant que cela surtout depuis qu'il fait enlever ses pièces de CZcams
The moody blues?
Limber and lively ending a bit too soon perhaps.
