2 Cellos - Welcome to the Jungle

[jdcnow]

Put on your listening ears and enjoy:

OMFG, thank you GSDX! The Legend Of Zelda nerd inside me is jumping up and down yelling, "Dungeon Music! Dungeon Music!!! DUNGEON MUSIC!!!!!"

 

[DonQuixote]

These are two different music links, my PC is being persnickety.

Vivaldi Double Cello Concerto.

Yo Yo Ma plays one cello. Bobby McFerrin sings the other:

Ma and McFerrin - Bach's Air on a G String:

 

[gsdx]

Yo Yo Ma without McFerrin - Massenet's 'Meditation' from Thais:

 

[DonQuixote]

Methinks you're into large pieces of wood as of late . . .

 

[Kyanimal]

WOW! Ma and McFerrin! What a Wonderful combination! Whoda Thunk?

There is NO Question of Yo Yo Ma's Talent, and Reputation, World Wide. However, Bobby McFerrin is generally thought of that Goofy Guy who makes funny noises.

Putting them together certainly emphasizes McFerrin's INCREDIBLE Vocal Talent, and raises the perception of him from silly comic to Amazing Artist!

Thank You! for posting them, Neil!

Keep Smilin'!!

They are quite popular on the classical radio station I listen to. They've been at it for quite some time. This video (Hush Little Baby) was posted to YouTube 6 years ago:

We now return to the originally featured guys - 2 Cellos "Technical Difficulties"

 

[DonQuixote]

 

[Kulindahr]

They're such nut cases on interviews. I'd like to see them on Jon Stewart, and do something silly like "Dueling Banjos".

I keep returning to their videos because honestly I find them incredibly erotic.

I have tried listening without the images and it doesn't work as it isn't really the sort of music I enjoy listening to. But as soon as it is music plus image I am completely subjugated.

I think you've nailed it right there. They have an incredible 'presence'.

Here's a "Ted's Talks" on a Virtual Choir.

Interesting, to say the least.

Interesting indeed. Here's a sample:

 

[DonQuixote]

I'm listening to his fourth rendition -

Published on Jul 11, 2013

Eric Whitacre's Virtual Choir 4: Fly to Paradise

8,409 Videos
5,905 Singers
101 Countries

The last four or five minutes of the video is an orchestral arrangement of the song as they run the credits of everyone included in the choral portion.

 

[DonQuixote]

And, after having the above piece to turn the tempo to the quieter, I'll bring us back to our boys with "Fields of Gold" . . .

 

[DonQuixote]

Another quieter piece - "Fragile"

 

[DonQuixote]

And back to something a bit more UP Tempo - "We Found Love"

 

[Kyanimal]

WOW!

I was waiting for them to "step it UP", butt they held True to the piece(s), and didn't go "Excited".

Still ... with the images of their playing, I could almost feel the vibrations from the cellos, resting on their shoulders, reverberating through their very (sexy) bones!

AWESOME!!

Keep Smilin'!!
