Sheku Kanneh-Mason, Isata Kanneh-Mason - Holst: In the Bleak Midwinter - Arr. Kanneh-Mason

[@wishingonthemoon1]

I forget how young he is. I mean I’m only 26, but he’s only 23 now. So this means he was like what, 20 when this came out. They’re such a talented family.

[@cristinaGlopez]

if Gustav Holst could see this, he'd cry of happiness

[@barbaracory5394]

You're absolutely right. It's really moving, and can be a sad melody: but not here!

Just the piece for full recovery after Christmas, beautiful rendition.

[@laceywashington6466]

To be honest I never listened to classical as much until I heard you and your sister play on the cello and piano. You and your sister are so very talented please arrange more music. You both have a way of conveying emotion in song that transcends lyrics from the usual music I listen. You’ve opened my eyes to a new world of music and I thank you. Keep up the good work.

[@dorothyekins8088]

When l need an uplift l go Sheku on his cello with his sister or his brother Thankyou for keeping me sane I will never forget the first time l heard you live at a New Year's Eve concert paying Alleluya with Symphonia Viva I hope you come back to your roots when you can we love you in Nottingham THANKYOU

[@notlih11]

What a beautiful tribute, and so well deserved!

[@marya.wilkowski2931]

Love these variations on a theme. Beautifully performed. Thank you!

[@joannemercader7139]

Seriously only his siblings understand how he feels, only his family really know. We all are just blessed completely by them

[@rosalindsims902]

I saw them both in the lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel across the street from the Orpheum Concert Hall after the concert. We were sitting in the Fountain Room having a bite to eat and I looked up and there was Sheku with his cello and a few feet away was his beaming dad. By the time I got my camera ready to take a picture, I saw his mom and they were getting on the elevator. I missed getting a clear shot but I certainly recognized her. Sheku was phenomenal. Three standing ovations with two encores. I’m planning to fly to Atlanta to hear him play with the Atlanta Symphony in April. I love classical music.

[@RenaMichelle]

I got to see this amazingly talented family perform on saturday in my country Antigua and Barbuda. I was blown away. So glad I got to witness their talent

[@Mezbourian]

I was privileged to hear them both in Berkeley last night. This was their encore. All 7 of the Kanneh-Mason children are musically gifted.

[@gwendolynjones9607]

[@ursulabean3179]

Yes it’s been said before by Simon Cowell no less ..... and I can attest..... They ARE the most talented musical family in the world. This is brilliant by both. I hope Sheku records Elgar’s cello concerto- in my mind the most beautiful cello piece even written.

[@Patrick11030]

Dear Sheku, I was just wondering. Could you please upload a complete recording of the Elgar cello concerto here on KZbin ?

[@rhondamason7066]

Patrick Gunter his performance of it in Frankfurt recently is now on KZbin and his Decca recording of the Elgar with Sir Simon Rattle and the LSO comes out 10 January

They're both so talented, I'm in love. 😍😍 I swear I fall more in love with Sheku every time I hear him play. He simply takes my breath away, I'm in awe. 😮🤤

[@mariellenrose6198]

I never heard of him until today. wonderful.

[@voyager1369]

I do believe that Sheku and Isata will go down in history as one of the greatest classical duets ever! #CelloBae #IssataElectric (the extra 's' is for her piano superpowers.)

[@lyssimon4136]

I was singing along happily and had to stop to appreciate the sheer virtuosity of the players. I thoroughly enjoyed this.

[@RH-yr8lt]

I can feel the emotion each time they play

[@OldPannonian]

Beautiful. I find myself in tears. Thanks so much! Andrew in Calgary, Canada.

[@barbaracory5394]

Their playing is joyful, and brilliant. Classical is always my favorite, and this refreshingly beautiful!

[@anthonyeaton8423]

What ever they play in what ever combination they delight both the ear ,the eye and the heart!

I've heard a fair bit of cello in my life, and this guy is the real deal - incredible sound, facility, expressive control.

[@reginacleemann2615]

Fantastisch und zutiefst berührend .... die Bearbeitung als Variationen lässt uns eine große Gefühlspalette dieser ergreifenden Musik erleben. Wunderschön und mit einem Mal ist der Winter Sinnbild für eine traurige Lebensphase und verbreitet so viel Verständnis , Zuversicht und Wärme und lässt einen getröstet zurück.

[@KiwiTinshed]

They play like angels. So in control of their instruments, so in tune with each other, and the music. I have never liked the cello but when Sheku plays it, my god, what joy!

[@chriswaters834]

I had never heard this song before but this rendition happened to play on a Spotify playlist I was listening to and it caught my attention. Absolutely beautiful. I listened to several other versions as well and this was the best by far.

[@elenachamberlain2285]

What an inspiration. As a pianist I can’t begin to tell you how much I look up to you guys 😍

Your comment brought me to tears, as I realize I need to see him live. His playing has set a place in me, that the colours I yearn to hear them live. Please. I would lile notification if he does play in DC. I will make arrangements to fly to see him. I fear of the media if I place my email here :/. For the generation no longer holds respect. Please send notification. I will for always be in great gratitude.

He is feeling it and allowing himself to have fun with it at the same time.😎. The way they collaborate when they play is like twin fusion. They are totally in tuned to one another. 😻 Beautiful.
