Thanks! I love the cello. It's my favorite instrument.

If I were a jerk, I'd point out that if it doesn't have words, it's not a song--it's a piece.

For some reason, I can't link to it.

That. was. amazing.

The 1st minute was nice, a bit light hearted for the original Prelude, but Bach's writing has this potential to provide multiple possibilities of re-interpretation, from a Jazz trio to a string quartet, or this cello duo - oversampled.

But after the 1st minute there were some voices - lines that in my opinion are quite cheesy - bad romanticism - a pity because the reading was going in a different way before.

I love Bach.

I love Bach.

Everybody who loves any form of Western music should love Bach. He pretty much invented music as we know it today.

Thanks for sharing this! I'm an amateur cellist, and I really appreciate the quality of playing. I don't find it all cheesy when you understand what the artist is trying to accomplish. For years, we poor cellists were stuck playing one line of music, and in the last several years, composers have been arranging entire works for cello choirs, and this is done in that spirit.
