Kanneh-Mason sets the standard for this piece for me. I have listened to a lot of different recordings of this piece and Sheku plays it best! 🧡

You are the most talented celloist I've encountered! Tears...joyful tears!

[@deborahbarnes8377]

Beautiful ❤❤❤.
Ive also listened to Capucon/Gergiev, but this preformance is smoother,and seems to have more depth and passion .
Bravo!!

[@valeriejohnson5361]

Extremely gifted and passionate young artists! Thanks. I have shared these pieces so often! On my playlist! As an artist who has heard this before several times, never have I heard it played so passionately. Kudos!

ロストロポーヴィチ以来の素晴らしい演奏！

Holy moly . . . I think Shostakovich must have discovered a way to create a geometric manifold to lift those that were being used as lambs up, up and out of that dimension of enslavement. There must be layers of existence on a given mathematical level.

[@sky0infinite]

It says in the description: Hungarian National Philharmonic Orchestra.

[@tedwilks]

@@sky0infiniteThank you.

The conductor doesn't shake Mr. Kanneh-Mason's hand when it's offered to him before the Shostakovich begins. Very rude behavior IMO.

[@jonatankaszkowiak]

Well he is black

[@gilbertdejean426]

He does shake his hands at the end. At the beginning, it was just a gesture in the conductor's direction.

Now compare this Garbagekovich with Elgar...

[@tramways_1435]

One day you'll have learned to appreciate it. Music for the more experienced listener... This is world-class..

@tramways_1435 I am a critic and art theorist, dear amateur, that's why I am saying the obvious: this is not music.
