Sheku Kanneh-Mason, the record-breaking 19 year-old British cellist who became a viral sensation after being personally invited by the Duchess of Sussex to perform at Royal Wedding in May 2018. He previously rose to fame as the first black musician to win BBC Young Musician in 2016 and winner of The Times South Bank Breakthrough award 2017. Performing regularly as a soloist and twice at the BAFTA awards, Sheku’s debut album ‘Inspiration’ was released early 2018.
Sheku’s version of Bob Marley’s ‘No Woman, No Cry’ went viral worldwide and he became the first BBC Young Musician winner to enter the Official UK Albums Chart with a debut recording, as well as the youngest cellist ever to reach the Top 20. He is one of this year’s biggest breakthrough artists - across any genre.
Sheku has been on a whirlwind adventure since winning BBC Young Musician 2016 - performing Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ at the BAFTAs in front of Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, playing at 10 Downing Street as part of the 30th anniversary of Black History Month, and making his BBC Proms debut as a soloist with Chineke! - Europe’s first majority BME (black and minority ethnic) orchestra - with the video of his performance going viral. He now studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Honestly, I never paid much attention to Cellists until I heard this amazing musician. I''v always been partial to the violin and piano. I cant get enough of this entire family of geniuses.

[@asyrip]

Yeah...who's ever heard of the Bach cello suites!

[@joelweber3462]

Could care less about a wedding or colors: his tone and control over dynamics are stunning! It is a great blessing to have family or siblings create music together and she does an excellent job of letting him shine. Bravo!

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

The viola and the cello most resemble the human voice; hence I think that may be why we relate deeply... when we hear it. Almost a beautiful 'singing', and this rendition is exquisite!!

[@oldbird4601]

Viola’s size causes resonance issues right? So a perfect instrument with that register can’t be made

Dans un sommeil que charmait ton image Je revais le bonheur ardent mirage, Tes yeux etaient plus doux, ta voix pure et sonore, Tu rayonnais comme un ciel eclaire par l'aurore Tu m'appelais et je quittais la terre Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumiere, Le cieux pour nous entr'ouvraient leurs nues, splendeurs inconnues, Ieurs divines entre vues, Helas! Helas, triste reveil des songes, Je t'appelle, o nuit, rends-moi tes mensonges, Reviens, o nuit mysterieuse.

[@hyldenira]

It's beautiful, but I choose Sicilienne as my favorite by Faurè

[@alydar2716]

[@leopirdas6577]

It is, but the poetry behind this music makes it inappropriate for a wedding.

[@inesdeerausquin5658]

@@leopirdas6577 I suppose you're right, because all the beautiful things that happen in the poem end up being a dream and it ends with being all sad and begging the night to return and let the dream go on.... (I wonder if H&M knew what all the words were when they chose it, haha!) But it's a gorgeous piece, and after all, it was only played, not sung.

[@josephsings]

[@sapper82]

Is it just me, or are there others who consider this young man and his family to be much better role models for not just black youngsters, but in fact youngsters of ANY colour, than a thousand Stormzys?

[@toscanaremi]

I love Sheku and his family but I fail to see why Stormzy is also not a role model. Is it because of the type of music he plays? It's your right not to like that type of music but that does not negate the fact that he's doing a lot for young people in Britain

Une magnifique mélodie merveilleusement bien interprété par ce jeune et talentueux violoncelliste. Une remarque cependant : Gabriel Fauré est l'un des interprètes les plus talentueux du 19è siècle et pourtant si injustement méconnu du grand public et si peu interprété. Lorsqu'on entend cette belle mélodie, on peut trouver cela injuste. Voici les paroles de cette mélodie lorsqu'elle est chantée par une Soprano ou par un Ténor. D'abord le texte en Français, puis avec ma traduction - en faisant de mon mieux pour rendre le texte accessible à nos amis anglophones : Dans un sommeil que charmait ton image Je rêvais le bonheur, ardent mirage.(1) Tes yeux étaient plus doux, ta voix pure et sonore. Tu rayonnais comme un ciel éclairé par l'aurore; Tu m'appelais et je quittais la terre Pour m'enfuir avec toi vers la lumière, Les cieux pour nous entrouvraient leurs nues, (2) splendeurs inconnues, lueurs divines entre vues, Hélas! Hélas, triste réveil (3)des songes,(4) Je t'appelle, o nuit, rends-moi tes mensonges, Reviens, reviens radieuse Reviens ô! nuit mystérieuse. In a sleep that charmed your image I dreamed of happiness, mirage ardent (1) - burning desire Your eyes were softer, your voice pure and sonorous, You radiated like a sky lit by the dawn; you called me and i left the earth To flee with you to the light, The heavens for us opened their clouds (2) - nues = the gates of paradise unknown splendors, divine gleams between views Alas! Alas, sad awakening of dreams, (3) - réveil in french = get out of sleep (4 ) - songe = dream ; traduction : he is sad because when he wakes up he leaves his dreams I call you, o night, give me back your lies, Come back, o mysterious night.

[@TCt83067695]

Vous nous avez dit que c'est une chanson qui est chanté par une soprano mais dans votre traduction vous dites he en place de she. Ou ça veut dire que un ténor peut le chanter aussi ?

[@moutserge]

@@TCt83067695 bien entendu, vous avez parfaitement raison, c'est une erreur de ma part dans ma précipitation et sans doute un coup de fatigue d'avoir oublié le reste de la phrase, car je voulais bien entendu écrire : " lorsque cette mélodie est chantée par une Soprano où un Ténor. Je vous remercie pour votre perspicacité et pour la pertinence de votre critique. Et je vais rectifier tout de suite mon erreur. Merci encore.

[@TCt83067695]

@@moutserge déso. Je ne voulais pas ma commentaire à signifier une critique. Je suis un étudiant de la langue alors je pensais qu'il y avait un peu de nuance que me manquait. C'était la raison pour la question. Merci pour votre commentaire, votre correction et aussi pour d'avoir donner à nous qui sommes nouveaux et nouvelles, les mots de cette belle chanson.

[@moutserge]

@@TCt83067695 Alors non seulement tu es pardonné, car je ne me suis pas du tout senti attaqué, mais surtout je vais te donner une leçons de français ; En France, une critique, c'est donner son avis négatif, mais aussi positif.
