Sheku Kanneh-Mason - Elgar Cello Concerto - BBC Proms 2019 with CBSO

[@barbarastewart8066]

Never heard of this beautiful talented man. I'm 68 years old, woman of color and rarely do I hear of such marvelous prodigies. Sooo soothing to my soul. Blessings 🎉❤❤

[@marilynhaverly570]

I first heard him when he played at Prince Harry and Megan’s wedding!

[@adriennehines5845]

This is the best video of all time pretty much

[@lindalawon9151]

It takes a very skilled cellist to play and not have the instrument growl. Sheku is as smooth as butter.

[@vanessa4u4evr]

I was privileged to see Sheku and his sister perform in Baltimore, Maryland (USA) about six years ago. What a moment in time that was. I'll never forget it.

[@theguildedscribe777]

I'm here Christmas Day 2024! So gorgeous, brilliant, and stunning! You represent a great deal, Sir! Thank you for such a grand demonstration of Musical, Cello Excellence! I send you and yours, including the symphony orchestra and Conductor, Hugs and Love from Pennsylvania, USA!

This video dropped on my KZbin feed today.❤ Thank you ! Wow ! This is a stunningly beautiful musical presentation. Fabulously done by all members in the orchestra, the conductor & the lead cellist, Mr. Sheku Kanneh-Mason. What fantastic controls & tones he delivered from his cello. Bravo ! 🎉❤

He and his siblings are all genius musicians, and educated in public schools.

[@nikitavares210]

Maravilhoso! Em uma orquestra de pessoas brancas, na sua grande maioria, ouvir esse talentoso negro Sr. Sheku, tocar seu cello de maneira sublime.

[@dolinaj1]

Edgar Elgar’s catalogue raisonne is full of gems. He was a composer unto himself, a Roman Catholic in Protestant England who found success late in middle age.

what happened to the original?

Was wondering the same thing, do you think all the views and comments got deleted for some reason?

[@Juztonn]

@@banirbn it's not possible; it was taken down most likely by the creator

​. YÊÊÊSSS of course 💎

[@towmlvb3423]

Why is this most promising young cellist's career so discreet? I don't think Elgar's lack of empathy with the cello helps here, but we have so little evidence of Sheku's progress it is getting rather enigmatic. An enigma? Elgar?

[@dolinaj1]

Elgar composed brilliantly for strings, and especially for the cello. This young musician and his siblings are performing and releasing recordings regularly. Perhaps I have missed your point?

[@towmlvb3423]

@@dolinaj1 Indeed you missed my point. Just what is yours? Elgar did indeed compose a great deal of work, but he was a hack and this work could only have been written by a hack. In particular it shows no understanding of the cello. If you cannot see that maybe you have the same difficulty as Elgar. Quantity is no guarantee of quality. In music and other great forms of Art quantity is often used to smother an evident lack of quality.

[@kizu5451]

@@towmlvb3423 i'm not quite understanding this, would it be correct in saying that Elgar's works cannot bring out this young mans full potential?

[@VaJ-n1v]

Honestly u should not talking like he is basically from the best music school ever.

[@jesperth.petersen8386]
