I was in the Audiance when Mr. Schiff performed the Saint Saens Concerto. Shortly before the performance the Conductor got ill and was`nt able to perform, Mr. Schiff performed the Saint Saens Concerto conducting the orchestra himself and he conducted a Beethoven Symphony wthout any rehearsal, that was so great and I will never forget that!

The great Austrian musician (cellist, conductor and professor) HEINRICH SCHIFF died today, 23 December 2016, aged 65. R.I.P., MAESTRO!

RIP Maestro. I really miss this wonderful cellist.

His recording of the Shostakovich concerts, particulary the SECOND, is legendary. It was the first time I heard the works, and it changed my life. Rest In Peace.

RIP, super player.

Love his playing of the Shostakovich, pity never got to see him play live. RIP Mr Schiff, many years too early.

Ruhe In Frieden. Maestro Heinlich Schiff!!

RIP. He is a beautiful cellist!!!

This piece is such a duel between the orchestra and soloist.

oneday,a Horn Player and a Father both dead and go to the gate which decide who's going to heaven or hell. the Player get a permission to enter Heaven, but the Father is annouced to go to Hell. Father says that he spent all his life worked for God,why's that? God says,when you preach in the church,everybody is sleeping,no one is praying seriously.But,when the Horn Player plays solo in the orchestra,the whole orchestra pray nervously.

I used to play the cello, and I entered several solo competitions playing this concerto because it was my favorite, although I never won with it -- I did win a couple with the Dvorak Concerto though. I used to listen to Heinrich Schiff every day and dreamed of playing this with an orchestra. I didn't even know he died in 2016 until today because I haven't thought about any or this stuff for many years.

I always forget about him. And then a video will pop up and remind me. Such a powerful cellist. The sound was so huge. Like Slava.

His recording with Maxim Shostakovich conducting is amazing.

Love this Great Musician!

I heard this piece more than 30 years ago still in an old casette)),one with maxim shostakovich, my fav recording so far of 2 concertos by Shostakovich

THank you so much for sharing this. Schiff was certainly one of the greatest cellists of his generation, and having him here on video taking on a concerto most don't associate with him is enlightening. Clearly, he is superb here.

Wow...How exciting to be able to perform at such a beautiful venue.

Incredible performance! thank you so much for the upload.

Bravo!

Dommage qu’il n’y ait aucun commentaire en français!!!! Comme d’habitude! Dommage aussi que ce magnifique concerto soit par 3 fois interrompu par de la pub! Néanmoins merci à KZfaq…. Sans qui je n’aurait pu écouter cette petite merveille! J’aime aussi beaucoup mais beaucoup la version de Gauthier Capuçon.

4:25 rip french horn

Admirável !....Excelente 👏👏👏

Fantastico

Best interpretation ever❤

RIP Maestro

I wish everyone except the cello (cause he's amazing) played a bit more aggressively cause that's how I imagine this piece played. Other than that perf!!

Brilliant.

.....great.....great....great......RIP

It's hardly a "FAIL" when a musician recovers from a flub so gracefully that 95% of listeners would not notice but for some armchair critic sitting at his or her computer and pointing it out. Do you sit and listen for every tiny little error, or do you actually hear how wonderful this performance was by all involved? That horn player had much to be proud of. Shame on YOU!

WTF ARE THOSE SCALES!!! ALL ON THE A STRING IN THE FINAL MOVEMENT GODDAMN

the tempo he gave at 24:39 - 24:45 and how he Rocked out to it Tho !!!

bravo

RIP Mr.Schiff

A lot of thanks !

Genial¡

4:54 perfect execution

Maestro Schiff, lamentablemente muerto en forma prematura.

Sublime

RIP...

R.I.P

Is it just me? or there is Publicities inside mouvements! That's rude! It's way too beautiful to cut short in any part of the piece!

RIP

It would have been a different story for me if your comment were "Wow! Look how well this guy recovered from his slip at 4:27. What an amazing musician!" Or maybe I'm just too old to appreciate the connotations of "FAIL."

That he is a very good musician I did not have to say, everyone can hear it. He's playing with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra and Heinrich Schiff..it's obvious he has to be very good. If someone pointed out an imperfection in a video of mine, I would recognise it and maybe i'd tell him "yes, I know", without getting angry. Life is much simpler than you think..so, take it easy and laugh a bit more!

4:54 toggle head banging

From the 80ties I suppose

So many French horn player seem to fail a lot playing this composition, is it really THAT hard?

How is the French Horn messing up? I am not familiar with the piece

19:02

Anderson Cooper on french horn

rip

9:04 Mr. Lahey?!

Since I know this piece very good because it's absolutely one of my favourite compositions, I could not avoid to hear it. So, I did not want to point it out only in order to laugh at this horn player (which is a very good one) but only to make some fun, since it is an official occasion. Being a musician, I perfectly know what it means. So, if you have no sense of humor and common sense at all, please avoid to write such things against people you don't know. Thanks!

The horn player is excellent, as he distancies himself from the orchestra.

Allah rahmet eylesin sondaki gamları pustan almak yerine re ve la tellerinde git gel yapan adam gibi adam...

is he using the sleeping beauty montagnana in this performance?

6:22 " :( "

Seriously? They edited footage of the first 4 double stops on top of the last 4. Lol

4:27

I actually have a very good sense of humor, but not when a very fine (or even a not-so-fine) musician is dissed for some little flaw. It's this kind of stuff that has done irreparable harm to classical musicians especially. How would you like to have a mistake highlighted in a KZfaq video for all the world to see? If you are able to laugh off that kind of thing, then you are very blessed as you either have received some wonderful support as a developing musician or have a naturally thick skin.

Yes because if all notes are in tune, it's too perfect. rofl what kind of argument is that Define too perfect

:D

HAHAHA

That was a fuckup LOL

4:27 French Horn FAIL

Maybe its just his cello, but he sound could've been a lot more resonant and ring more. And also i think it was a bit under tempo should've been faster

Und ---cking YT unterbricht drei Mal mittendrin

ese director no esta en nada

The french horn just ruined every fucking thing

I really hope that the French Horn got fired after this concert. He nowhere near played his part correctly. That conductor and the rest of the symphony deserved somebody who could actually play.

:D
