She's coming in Brussels this year in Elgar concerto, divine, a great talent

The caliber of Anastasia's technique is utterly otherworldly and of the highest definition. Bravo.

Anastasia, you are my favorite cellist !!!

A wonderful performance that highlights the entire range of this instrument. One of my favorite orchestras. I love to listen while preparing my evening meal. It is inspiring.

The Variations on a Rococo Theme were originally composed for cello and piano. The cellist of German origin Wilhelm Fitzenhagen, professor at the Imperial Conservatory of Moscow, was the dedicatee. Tschaikowsky thanked him for having participated in the creation of his String Quartets. But Fitzenhagen considered this composition clumsy enough to correct it, the composer accepted structural modifications of the piece with this eminent cellist. The order of the variations as well as their registers were upset. The new version now consisted of an introduction, a theme and eight variations. The score testifies to the composer's attachment to the baroque and classical worlds. Italian sinfonia, French gallant style, and Viennese entertainment are skillfully brought together. The work appears to be representative of Russian academic post-romanticism. The orchestration corresponds to a formation with wind music stands in pairs and no percussion. A musical discourse borrow from Mozart, moreover, the romantic expression then seems more Germanic than Slavic. For the soloist, the partition is very technically demanding. She represents a catalog of the virtuosity of the cello in the mid-19th century, particularly for the high register of the instrument. Doing things right is better than just saying them *Lucien*

Que sorpresa verte hay, te extrañamos, buena suerte, saludos desde Colombia.

Wunderbar! Das Konzert für unsere Schule in Bruchköbel war auch ganz fantastisch. 🙏🏼

Sensacional. Que belíssima interpretação desta icônica obra. Não há nada mais gratificante que ouvir uma boa música executada de modo perfeito. É por isso que amo esta orquestra.👏👏👏👏👏👏

Sensationelle Interpretation dieses neoklassischen Meisterwerks durch die virtuose Solocellistin und das erfahrene hr-Sinfonieorchester. Die begabte Dirigentin leitet das Ensemble im veränderlichen doch gut gewählten Tempo und mit gut phrasiertem Tempo. Wahrlich wunderbar!

This lady is absolutely "the stuff" What a dazzling performance

Какая молодец...! :)

Nice to see first flute Clara Estrada 😊

The first rendition of this piece without any noticeable technical errors in the last variation since Yo-Yo Ma in the earl early 90's. Hitting perfectly these octaves is hard as hell, since almost everyb ody has had troubles in trying it. Rostropovich himself never hit it in recording

O my god very good ❤🎉

I commented about the sound balance of the Schumann 4th symphony played at this same concert, and much the same problem is audible here: there is a woodwind spot mic that is too loud and causes the flutes to sound shrill. The cello solo spot mics are also a bit loud and bright, probably to overcome the over -loud woodwinds. This is not a performance issue--these fine players know how to play with proper acoustic balance. It is a recording balance issue--there are lots of spot mics in use, and the way they are interacting is unpleasant to the ear. This is not usual for Frankfort radio videos--usually the balance and perspective is pretty good. But in this concert, it almost sounds like there are no main pickup mics but everything is being done with spot mics. I say "almost", as I am sure are overhead mics for overall orchestra pickup, but the balance engineer has allowed the spot mics to overwhelm their signal. The result is strident and 2-dimensional sounding. I am sure this can be fixed (maybe the balance engineer had a cold? That can affect the hearing badly....) The performance is certainly very good, as we expect from this orchestra.

Wunderschöne und spannende Aufführung dieser romantischen und fein komponierten Variationen mit mildem doch gut phrasiertem Ton des genialen und technisch perfekten Solovioloncellos sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Die intelligente und ebenso geniale Dirigentin leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im lebhaften Tempo und mit möglichst effektiver Dynamik. Wunderbar und atemberaubend zugleich!

Every time inhear that piece of lovely music all the souvenirs ofmy childhood emerge from a deep ocean that i used to forget volontarily

❤

deep ocean.

Hello, can we ear this capture on a physical media ? (CD, 33rpm)

Strepitosa Nastya!

The performance was okay and not particularly in her best form. She sounded nervous and tight. Good job nevertheless.

You should not allow a situation in which representatives of a criminal nation waging a cruel war have the right to travel around Europe and give concerts.

Does she support Putin?
