Bobby McFerrin: Vivaldi - Concerto for two cellos in g minor, RV 531 (Gewandhausorchester Leipzig)

[@sparkybonehead]

I could be wrong, but....... ...i think Bobby McFerrin is probably the coolest person on this planet. 😎

[@awtistiaeth4699]

Well certainly keeping one's baton in one's dreadlocks is the coolest thing for a conductor/musician to do.

[@elisaa9981]

You're not wrong.

[@lucyfoster4082]

The cellist plays so expressively but her face is even more expressive; beautiful.

[@WreckOfLamb]

I watched Bobby conduct the NC Symphony years ago. The encore was the William Tell overture. He lifted his baton and then said, “put down your instruments.” Which the orchestra did and than they sang their parts Bobby McFerrin style. It was great.

[@thehomeschoolwell]

WHAT?!! Why did I JUST find out about this?! Thank you, Lord for this man!!

[@thehomeschoolwell]

AGREED! Look at his baton behind his ear.....so hip!!

[@bombeu]

this guy could have chosen any line of music and dedicate to it but instead, he went 100% genius ... his movement in music may be the most legendary of all.

[@harveyperkoff6325]

Wow what a performance.. The cellist has such admiration for Bobby F ...He is such terrific exponent of any genre he touches.. I love watching him perform,, I think jazz was his first love...but his musical talent overflows everywhere he is... Harvey Perkoff

[@professorroundbottom438]

That's what happens with an explosion of talent: it goes everywhere.

[@houseofbeeswax]

In my car in my home driveway in a rural farm community in Tehama County, CA and picked up Jefferson Public Radio program signa from Oregonl. It was clear as a bell, and this musical genius Bobby McFerrin, was performing the Vavaldi Concerto for two cellos. You cannot imagine how grateful I was. To have access to a station that plays classical music was a giant hug! Public radio out of Sacramento only gives an hour a day to classical music. Thank you!

[@jeanrenelouet]

This soloist cellist is absolutely fantastic! What an incredible sound accuracy! I dream to such 1rst cellists in my Bordeaux Philharmonic. And her unthinkable musicality is really to cry.

[@helenhill9482]

Yes but sadly she gets no credit in this video. I’m an amateur cellist and can only dream of being able to play so well.

[@singingbeaker]

@@helenhill9482 It's Veronika Wilhelm, in the video description :)

[@sophies6067]

What kind of MAD MAD MAD talent is this? Never imagined a human transforming into an instrument... MIND BLOWN.

[@danielperroni3884]

A alegria de um músico de jazz em uma orquestra tão solene... é como uma chuva num dia de calor a 40° C...! Abençoado Bob McFerrin...

[@andrewklopper8590]

Vivaldi's slow movements are always so beautiful. I played a couple of Vivaldi Cello concerti while in the school orchestra years ago. Bobby has such immense voice control.

[@jackyliebsch]

I was there, a magical night.

[@Euroarts]

Wow! That's great!

[@grahampalmer9337]

Vivaldi AND(!) Bobby McFerrin. Bellissimo.

[@dylanchristensen7716]

I really really really really really like what very special talent this man has!

[@rawi707]

It was the intention, the invention, and creativity of Vivaldi to replace vocalists with instruments, violins, cellos, etc (in contrast to opera). That's why we have this concerto is for two cellos, and many other pieces like Vivaldi's concerto of two violins, two violins and cello. Now, this marvels piece has (partly) been done the other way around.

[@aminotmerciful2814]

What a gifted and spiritual human being! Incredible cellist and orchestra! Brilliant performance! Amazing!

[@pdogcentra8648]

Top notch performance. This guy has mad talent

[@theskinman1948]

Bobby McFerrin carries the distinction of being the world's only human cello.

Eu amo a sensibilidade e a competência desse maestro.

from 4.50 how come these musical people like this woman get to play with their souls... so much emotion that hits you right in the heart..

[@павелзаболотников-н3ш]

Мне кажется,это лучшее из всего,что есть в репертуаре у Бобби Макферрина.Каждый раз пробивает до самых глубин,когда слушаю эту вещь,особенно последнюю часть--аллегро.Виолончелистка--тоже мастер.БРАВО!

[@UNOCASTILLO]

Bobby McFerrin is so so so great

[@alitalati]

Wow just in tears after the 2nd movement ...

[@oliviafox6745]

It's so much fun to see musicians enjoying themselves.

[@therightmusic7639]

That was an interesting experiment. Vivaldi himself would've probably lay back and said: Why not? I should try doing that myself once in a while... Actually, it's what every instrumentalist should try to do with the pieces they study, if possible...

[@shoshannafachima1306]

Extraordinsry,bravo bravo bravissimo

[@anniestrong3096]

Wow! It isnt a second cello part and he performs it perfectly !..........

[@2ears1mouth786]

Would love to hear this with two voices!

[@elstercesarmiguel8023]

it is going to be hard to find the other voice.

[@MesaperProductions]

That's gonna be hard, cause there is no second Bobby McFerrin

[@annehartford]

Thrilling! Brilliant! Shares new possibilities of making music. A marriage of traditional and contemporary in such a beautiful sound.

Es un músico en toda la extensión de la palabra, aparte de su prodigiosa voz y privilegiado oído. En jazz es magnífico igual que en la clasica

Vivaldi definitely meant to write this for Bobby McFerrin and cello. The only problem was he wasn't born yet.

Bobby McFerrin

[@MrJonahWhaler]

I admire Bobby a lot... and he does fine here. But in this case I would rather hear another cello) Also it is quite audible that the cellist and orchestra try to follow Bobby as if he leads but in this case he does not really. Or it would be nice and fun to have it arranged all for voices

[@euomu]

Shut up. The purpose of this rendition obviously wasn’t to be better than the original or to become the new standard. It’s just a very nice and experimental project, executed beautifully
