For me this is the most beautiful cello concerto, sensitive, emotional, melodious. And it's very delicately difficult too. This is a beautiful performance by Misha, the tempo is a bit lively, but nice, and OK. Now, as regards this concerto, me, a former cello student, must mention this: I had, thru a relative living in the USA, gotten the scores of this concerto in a version by Leonard Rose. And that version is the very best, in my view, and nobody plays it ever. Rose modified a bit the original score,, and mad it better than the original. Same with the cadenza he wrote. The Rose version of this concerto is the best one in my very serious view. And none of today's performers plays it. Get that score and see it yourselves. Unfortunately I lost that score, which was in my possession in the 1960s.

If when you say “delicately difficult” you mean hard as hell, than yes.

the rose version is available on amazon. i bought it a few years ago and it turns out that an entire section from the first movement was removed. in my opinion, it wasn't that great.

Wayne Howells

Mischa is so passionate. I love how he moves while performing! Just superb.

Brian Grimm's Cello Zone!

I know some folks are saying it's too fast... but for years I have never gotten into these Haydn concertos mainly because the orchestras and soloists always sound to heavy and sluggish slogging through slightly slower tempos. This is light and flies; keeps the ball up in the air.

Ruwen Engelmann

Brian Grimm's Cello Zone You're totally right, I'm currently learning the first Cello Concerto by Haydn and if it isn't played slightly faster than moderato it will sound too heavy and will lack that lightness that is so typical for Haydn

Timothy Thorne

Ruwen Engelmann this is performed at the right tempo. I'm sure somewhere out there the composer approves, and the first and third movements in particular are played at the standard pace of most Classical period allegros.

Amittai Aviram

Yes! In fact, that is what is wrong with Du Pré's otherwise flawless performance—it is _plodding_. I sctually could not listen through to the end. Maisky's tempo is in the spirit of the period and the composer.

I need to listen to other recordings, I’m just soooo obsessed with this one. it’s just too perfect, from the acoustics, to the camera work, to the cello playing and the authenticity of having the cellist conduct.

David

Couldn't aggree more Haydn is at his best with a little pace
