Paganini Caprice 24 on the Cello

[@rock-canyon-foodscaping]

3:43 give that man a cookie just for the tone on that high note. Then give him the rest of the cookies in the world.

[@AmosdollMusic]

this is absolutely well done

[@cellokid5104]

Mr meme piano listens to cello music? I'm impressed

[@quasistarsupernova]

wow

[@MaestroPuffin]

Jesus Christ. This man deserves an award.

[@LutzBrux1]

Jaw-droppingly amazing. Paganini is known to be neigh impossible to play on a violin. But on a cello? And the best thing: it does not become simple achievement. It remains music. Wonderful, how you handle my instrument.

[@westincello]

Listening 17 years later, this guy is great. the passacaglia video inspired me to try to play it for my 8th grade graduation. my teacher did not approve.

[@celitomacachor7877]

Still amazed by this after 17 years.

[@will.isnull]

16 years later, I get the chills listening to this as I did when I was a wee lil 9 year old. This man dropped the hardest cello vids of all time and disappeared. I stg he will have the greatest comeback in history if he ever drops another vid.

[@eileenmiami]

I forget sometimes how great a cellist you are. It is so beautiful

[@RickGraham]

Hi Wells, Stunning and aweinspiring performance! You are insanely talented my friend! Rick

[@Lu3305]

Wow! You are AMAZING!!!! How come I don't see more videos from you . . . or your name beside Yo-Yo Ma . . . or in lights!?!?! Exquisitely beautiful! THANK YOU for sharing!!!

[@akcuberferrell]

that is amazing!

[@gamefreaktp]

incredible. this is really inspiring, since im a cellist myself, ive suddenly decided to aim for this as a song i can master in the future, thanks a lot and really well done!

[@intervalkid]

What exceptional tone on those high notes and fantastic intonation on the chords! Well done!

[@treaustin1]

This I suspect is the most beautiful performance ever. 2:15 made me tear up. Bravo.

[@IntenseFoolishness]

That note in 3:43 was so well done it gave me the chills. Well done.

[@YouveStolenMyEyes]

that was awesome. very in tune. amazing. (I'm a cellist. I've been playing for almost twelve years but looking at you I've still got a lot to learn).

[@7thNoodle]

That high note on 3:43 makes me want to cry because of how perfect it was.

[@Rumozamonien]

Wow, you are amazing! It does not sound like just one cello but a whole ensemble! I bow to thee...

[@andresalaru]

This is just sick. Intonation is perfect, playing in any intervall just clean, then this tapping technique, flasolettes and bowtechnique all togeather. Sick Thanks for posting

[@FilipLatochaMusic]

This interpretations is very good. Probably one of the best. I've never seen apreggios played like that on a cello.

[@cellogeek95]

Your AMAZING! This must be the best paganini on cello I´ve ever heard!

[@Pwnrofnoobz]

You are an inspiration to cellist everywhere! It is amazing that you actually played this on the cello! Bravo!

[@hezixiao]

Sir you are a crazily outstanding cellist!!! Your name shall be remembered by the world!

[@vanderbilly]

Brilliant control. Spanish Fly was also amazing and by far the best redition around. This put a big smile on my face

[@henrymendez5464]

Still watching this to this day

[@ahmedmashhour]

hell well done. an absolutely different taste on cello. no matter what left out, you're gooood

[@heinry11]

Whenever I think I'm getting somewhere in my cello playing I just look at this and I'm like oh yeah... DAMNIT!!!! Then I attempt it and epic fail all over again. Beautifully done, good sir.

[@Kazeken7]

That was....incredible. I have always liked the cello, but after hearing this....I LOVE it!

[@samirafterone]

I just love your performance. I am not an artist , but I recognize art , when I feel it !

[@JanneFlinck]

is there anything this good cello vids, cause i think this is the best playing ive seen ever, compining with awesome track choosing.

[@delaix33]

You are my inspiration to begin learning cello. This is one of my goal pieces to play when I can.

[@UlfenDaddy]

I never get tired of watching-listening to Wells on cello. You need to post some more material my friend!

[@henryfjames]

that's brilliant!!! I play the violin and I know a bit of cello too. But that, could be one of the hardest and most amazing things I've seen on these two instruments. Keep up!

[@SC2larry]

awesome!!! I love the part with left hand that hits the strings but I don't remember the name of this technique anyways that was absolutely brilliant

[@kyrtd]

I love the power you put into the notes, great accents.

[@froterons]

your technique is perfect! your vibrato is amazing, you have perfect control of the Instrument.

[@cl3mm3]

I'm 16 and I play the cello as well. If one day I can play as good as you I will be the happiest in the world =D Great job you're amazing Clémence from Paris.

[@Ishudbriding]

Iv been playing for 10 years, this guy is some awsome inspiration!

[@ShooterInfinity]

Freaking amazing haha. I can't believe my eyes and ears, you deserve lots of praise good sir, that was excellent.

[@Aegelis]

Very clean sounding, it's nice to actually see this being played on the instrument.

[@missbecks1980]

Trully amazing playing here - A real pleasure to listen to and watch!

[@jayjohnjohanssen]

wow, mr. cunningham...tht is stunningly brilliant...thank you for lesson in perfection. its one of my favorite pieces, and you nailed it. :) beautiful meter, and the pauses, man, brilliant

[@bloomermike]

Amazing musicianship! What must be difficult to exicute looks easy and effortless. BRAVO!

[@thewhiterabbit96]

wow, that was amazing!! wells has tutored me a few times, and i knew he was really good, but i had no idea he was that good, im speechless. from now on, i take him way more serious....

[@U2buserX]

I'm speechless, which means I don't know what to type, this is amazing!

[@WaffleOfFligt]

Oh my god, I can't believe how accurately you can hit those harmonics playing that fast, that's just unbelievable. I can't even hit accurate harmonics playing slowly D:

[@NikkDriver]

This one is just as amazing, again I look up to this tremndously, Thank you for posting

[@benjaminskwirut]

3:39-3:45 was just insane. Unbelievable. Gave me shivers.

[@Hedgehogs4Me]

You compensate for the lack of the E string well. I love how you go right past the fingerboard, very cool. Also, you are very talented at left-hand staccato, I wish I could do that. I used to play the cello, not anymore, high school is making me temporarily quit. I'll probably take it back up afterwards though, somewhat thanks to you.

[@doddsalfa]

This guy can teach every cellist in the world a lesson:)

[@jackwak4726]

14 years later and I'm still listening❤

[@elvinmay54]

OMG that its really amazing. It really shows how much you can do with a cello.

[@brian117972]

Wow your tone quality is great.. and the sound is so clean.. Perfect pitch

[@sonho1234]

OMG! WOW! I'm stunned! Great piece. Great cellist.

[@deedeeraree]

wow ur intonation is brilliant!!! just absolute fantab!!!! and i love your musicallity!!!

[@douskara]

that is sick.... I prefer this on the violin, but man you are pure magic!! I could never think it can be played that well on a cello..

[@NoboruWateya]

Wow 2:40 is great and 3:40 intonation at the upper positions is sick! Thanks for posting.

[@ShinuAsami2015]

Man I love Cello! Your very good. I bought one after playing guitar for 20 years in 2001and I wish I had started playing cello first, it's much more fun and rewording to me!

[@RunOut1724]

Awesome job! I used to play to cello for a bit, than just stopped. A piece of me wishes i kept playing it. It is a cool instrument but i choose to play guitar seeing as that it interested me more. However, i still have a lot of respect for anyone that can play other instruments and you did a great job.

[@JanneFlinck]

when are you going to do another cello video??!, this is so good, it makes me want to buy cello for seriously, i think i will.

[@concertmaister100]

Wonderful interpretation of this famous "violin" piece. Very impressive. Congratulations.

[@silviacello]

oh my god you are amazing!your technique is just perfect. and you look great too!

[@000canman]

alright well im a cellist, and i have to say thats very inspiring. you must have worked very hard on that because obviously youve mastered it. Your still young so i look forward to seeing your future works.

[@TrappedInSpokane]

You are such an amazing cellist! Well done.

[@direngrey2143]

this is fantastic, one of few cellists able to pull one of the most hardest violin pieces of all time, on cello! hahah i'm struggling through it my self - maybe in a few more years i'll be able to play it :P

[@MrsJCello]

wow... You really are something else. That was just incredible!!! good job!! x

[@KCJones6]

Amazing man...been playing that (or attempting to play I should say) for years and it's a rough piece! Great job dewd!!!

[@griffintaylor2000]

[@DrAgOnNeKo567]

wow.. the sound is so clear!!!! i play violin, but i still think the cello is amazing. great job!!!! ^-^

[@ValeV1010]

This is unbelievable. You are so good!

[@lilthonk]

[@alessandromorelli720]

My friend arianna is your student and she is the best cellist of florida

[@markyeo9938]

BOI SOMEONE ELSE IS BETTER WYM

[@WayofTheLogan]

He went in...plain and simple. Bravo, sir.

[@JanneFlinck]

this is best cello playing ive ever heard.

[@brenbray513]

My head just exploded...truly inspiring sir

[@alvarobitran]

Fantastic! beautiful to hear and watch!

[@AndrewLeecoding]

Flawless Shifting. Congrats, this is amazing.

[@laboye]

That one note at 3:44 always gives me the willies.

[@gucker07]

Amazing technique. This is the very limit of what's humanly possible on the cello.

[@owenganter539]

Absolutely phenomenal playing

[@shelledwalnut1960]

I've been looking around youtube for a cellist playing this piece. I just kept getting a bunch of violins until now. :D Sounds perfect!

[@carolynokeefe4947]

Well this just became a goal of mine

[@DVZM.]

How does it look like three years later?

[@blacat2168]

Yeah, did you make some progress in playing the cello?:)

[@pizzicato16]

You sir are obscenely, disgustingly talented. Between this and the Spanish Fly vid, I am flabbergasted. Great work, Yo Yo Ma has nothing on you.

[@Sixties74]

Great Cunningham! You are the BEST!! Thank you.

[@DaveGrossmanSoloBass]

Wow, I didn't know that the Cello could be played like that. Brilliant!

[@nico22059]

Great rendition! My congratulations.

[@DarkGreenNails]

great job! the important thing with this song is to not get too tensed while you play or else your hand will cramp up.

[@kizzadawizza12345678]

Amazing tuning on the 8ves. Fantastic. *****

[@sedefcankocak9523]

Bought it. Great book. Very very useful for an intermediate player like me.

[@Verdeamia]

The melody is too great for my ears :O!

[@Gitarpunk]

Those wide arpeggios at the end are remarkable! your hand moves like a spider in stop motion.

[@cellokid5104]

Probably the most sophisticated rendition of this piece on cello

[@pfguitar11111]

holy shit the end is amazing especially with that one super high harmonic

[@LePawervitz]

wow..! about 2 mins in the song... thats what got me to remember paganini caprice. and I used to be a rocker.

[@zasesdea]

Excellet!!!! I am in chock....... perfect sound, brilliant....i`m not have wordsss...

[@jyustinkyu]

i'm looking forward to buying your Scale book

[@milenapunzianfossi]

Complimenti..E pazzesca la difficoltà del pezzo quanto la tua abilità, BRAVO

[@toprak3479]

You played the cello like playing with a toy...wow! (Especially 2:41)

[@AndySaenz]

Playing double-stops(2 strings at once) is hard enough on the violin(I'm a violinist), but I think they're harder on the cello!! You're a GREAT musician, keep it up!!

[@BiologicalUnit2380]

this is frightening cello. its unreal. bravo.
