I. Andante grave 0:03 II. Moderato 11:08 III. Allegro, ma non troppo 15:31

I played the first movement of this as part of my auditions for music college. It has been many years since then and I don't play anymore, but hearing this still fills me with all the emotions and passion that I felt when I played it.

Listened to this work many times on CD, but it's not until you actually see it being played that you realise how much physical energy it requires. A fine performance by these two musicians.

That epic gamer moment when you write something for cello and actually let them use the c string

I really need to point out how OUTSTANDING the pianist is ! As well as Sol Gabetta, of course :)

Clear intention, fantastic execution, beautifull, bravo to both musicians

My first time hearing this piece--it's outstanding!

Just the best Prokofiev Cello Sonata ever, Polina's Piano tones are rich, powerful and extremely Sensitive all at once and such a perfect match for Sol's powerful, rich and inventive Cello playing wow! I hope this performance gets released sometime very soon for HiRes download or as CD.. please

When you think of all that Prokofiev has lived through and must express, I can't think of any other cellist who can bring out these feelings as fully as Sol Gabetta. All compliments to Polina Leschenko to keep up with her. Wonderful performance by the two of them.

Absolutely brilliant playing! Thank you so much for sharing this with us. It is a gift to listen to and to watch.

Fascinating composition, outstanding interpretation

The power and the strenght of two young players, the beauty and sense of rytthm of Prokofiev.

This place, this music...and Sol Gabetta wonderfull as always!

What a magnificent performance from both ladies, I forgot to breath !

Sol Gabetta plays beautifully with tennis-player-like muscles.

Hey there, I may have commented before. Now that 1 of my cellists are working on this greater appreciation of a top flight performance and congrats, ladies! Stunning show! WOW!

This was an enormously terrific performance by Sol Gabetta, whom I expected such a level of fantastic playing from and Polina Leschenko, a terrific pianist whom I am thrilled to meet. I knew I'd enjoy this because I love Prokofiev's immense creativity.

A most powerful rendition of this great masterpiece. Never heard this better. Bravo.....!!!

Very nice connection btw Sol and the Pianist Wow

Hermosa sonata. Primera vez que la escucho: gracias por publicarla. Saludos desde Ciudad de Córdoba (Argentina).

Magnifique interprétation !

Je découvre, et je trouve cela extraordinaire.

Maravilhosas, tudo o mais é supérfluo !!!❤🌹😘🎶🎹🎻🎶

Sometimes, when my ears are assailed by a particularly ugly bit of cacophony over a public speaker, I despair for the future of music. But then I hear a radiant performance like this from such talented artists, and my hope is amply restored. Many thanks for this and all your wonderful posts.

A sonata I didn't know. So joyful and lyric - in line with the ballets and other theater pieces. (I can't figure out why the piano sonatas are so strident. I never listen to them.) Great cellist and equally great pianist.

So beautiful performance! Thank you!

Always Sol Gabetta forever~!!!

Hermosa sonata interpretada en forma brillante. No me canso de escucharla una y otra vez!!!

AMAZING MIRACLE

Brilliant !

Beautiful playing from both amazing musicians. But I have to say: this is the most beautiful page turner I've ever seen! 😊😍

두분,너무. 잘. 하시네요 ,,❤❤😢😮

Pino is beautifully. 가 눈에. 들어 오네요. ? 서로 맞추기가. 힘들. 텐데요? 하지만 잘하시네요.? Beautifully ❤❤

A goddess of cello.

Bravo... Bravo...

INSANE! Such beauty

Bravissimo 😀

Especially good for me.thanks. 전법이. 특이. 하네요.?

I feel like the page-turner is the Western classical music equivalent of the tamboura player in North Indian classical music. Their main job is to be invisible in plain sight. Excellent job, page-turner! I hardly noticed you were there, and when I did, it was the camera's fault, not yours.

The physicality!!!

너무 잘하네요.? 첼로. 잘하는. 분이. 웃겨요? 놀랬어요?❤❤

Wow!

very very nice guardanini

Sol Gabetta, Cello / Polina Leschenko, very awesome!! what is the name of the page turner?

프로코피예프 첼로는 안들어봐서 들어왔더니 역시나 보통 음악이 아니네.. ???!!!!!??!?!? 이런 느낌이라고 해야하나..

Truly fine performance. Who is this pianist? She should be as famous as Gabetta. They are both playing extremely convincingly.

She made cello special inst with this piece....

nice

I love you. Wonderful 😢😂❤

11:09 moderato

Harder 🙏🏻

UAU...!!!

Where is that nice place located..GREAT chelist...

THE NON PLUS ULTRA SOLEIL SPLENDID: furious & beauty & stark.

A very intense and lyrical rendition by Sol Gabetta, indeed a great cellist. As for the sonata itself, it is beautiful indeed, but the style is less sharp than in his Pariis works. Personally I regret it somehow.

15:31 19:51

the 5 people who dislike this, please tell us why. Please. Les quedaré muy agradecido

I feel this was a little rushed in places but was still amazing

이거. ?무슨. 음악. 입니까. ? 난. 도저히. 모르겠네요. ,

Superbe violoncelliste, superbe musicienne! Par contre je ne reconnais pas la sonate (!!) Quelle est cette nouvelle édition avec des tempi complètement exacerbés, et des phrasés.... pour le moins étonnant? C'est bien d'interpréter, mais attention à la caricature!

I always wonder WTF when Prokofiev interrupts a beautiful flow of melody with harsh, meaningless cacophony such as at 1:17.

Must we all be insane ....?

Есть мастерство, но к сожалению, нет Прокофьева с его ясностью и юмором.Присутствует большая доля агрессивности.

I wonder if she goes home and plays that thing to some ELO??? 😂

Je n'aime pas beaucoup PROKOFIEF ce qui n'enlève rien à ces 2 musiciennes.

Me ha parecido excesivamente gesticulante la "chelista"... Nada que ver con Vincent Ségal... Saludos...

Bonjour, déjà (j'arrive par vraiment détester cette façon de s"exprimer") ! Eh oui !, on peut aimer le classique, et ne pas adhérer, automatiquement, à la musique de PROKOFIEF ; CHOSTAKOVITCH, aimez - vous ?.

Is the cello player have pchologic problem? I dont know who produce it but acting hard when playing enstrument is not nice really

I know that this two women are very good playing their respective instruments, but sorry, the only word it comes to me when I hear them playing this piece is "chaos". Ritmically very caprichious, too rustic (when the cello plays the pizzicati I hear only noise) and a very unpleasant cello sound, rigid and pressed (easy to see the muscles of Ms. Gabetta very tense). It seems also that they didn't rehearse enough together the piece. Sorry, not good for me.
