Tchaikovsky Pezzo Capriccioso - Thomas Prechal (16), cello and Natasja Douma, piano

After a very long time, we had the opportunity to play in a big hall for a real audience again! I can't tell you how much I have missed that... :) This performance took place during the finals of the Archipel Music Competition 2021 in the Muziekgebouw Eindhoven (Netherlands). One of the pieces we played was this (among cellists very well known) piece written by Tchaikovsky. I have to be honest here; it's a tricky one! Nevertheless, I enjoyed extremely much to play a real concert again and I was very happy to receive the first prize! I hope you enjoy this recording!
