Santiago has the best doublestops I've ever heard. His chords are so determined and accurate. That's strength and practice!

[georginaginastera]

Muy hermosa obra!, no la conocía! Y su interpretación es maravillosa!

[schnicko]

I never thought I'd hear a better Kodaly than that of Janos Starker, but I now stand corrected. Well done Santiago - this is phenomenal!

[vishnuhalikere]

I just love the harmonies Kodaly uses at 20:48 idk why

I listened to this piece back in the 1970s on an album that had this on one side and Pablo Casals playing Bach's cello suites on the other side. I loved both of them and listened to that record more times than I can count. The LP is now buried somewhere in a trunk, probably with a few scratches. I am now hearing this piece again after 35 years. So nice to find it online! Great piece of music.

Have not heard this absolutely astonishing piece in decades... played here with impeccable perfection - and with the necessary abandon. THANK YOU!

[axelsohn]

This is a monumental performance and interpretation.

[bartolomeugusmao]

One of the most powerful things i've heard in my life. Kind of blows a hole in my chest from where my soul can just drop and fall into the ground with a smile on its face. The cup of beauty overflowing.

Obrigado, Antena 2.

This puts the heaviest of modern prog metal to absolute shame. Very well done.

[pascalpoussin]

I had no intentions of listening to the three movements, but got engrossed and the 3 movements past. Bravo!!! Beautiful rich sound, impeccable intonation and very clear musical direction - the performance of a master.

[TechBar]

Literally the best version I've ever heard. Bravo!

[mariavictoriaalfonsoavila]

Tus conciertos siempre son maravillosos. Gracias.

[marysilva]

Es increíble como una pieza tan compleja la hace ver tan sencilla, definitivamente Santiago es un verdadero prodigio.

[admiradordebrahms]

Qué maravilla. Felicitaciones Santiago Cañón. Yo no conocía esta obra, hasta hoy la descubro; y eso gracias a que le he venido siguiendo la pista a Ud. desde el reciente premio Tchaikovsky.

[mannfriedfunk]

Absolutely world class excellence, amazing performance. Love your concept, great playing in every respect.

[s.l]

Love how you played the opening. It's very different from your previous recordings, more intense with closer space between the notes.

[celloniggunproject]

I know this sonata, it one of most difficult technically for performing...
However You have a great relationship with technic for years yet.
But! It's nice to hear that you have more and more beutiful sound!
Bravo! Keep up!

[juangaviria]

Very impressive technique and sound. Not sure why it took me so long to find you.

[ComposerSongwriter-Poet]

Fantastic
I love cello and your passion!
Best wishes,
