Who else still watching this young man’s videos even so long after the Royal Wedding?

[@henrih2h]

moi, et, depuis ses débuts

[@MangoNizer]

How can the sound of you playing a wooden box with metal strings make me cry? Pure magic.

[@BenAWise42]

Skin-tinglingly, spine-shiveringly, heart-movingly good. And... he's 17.

[@excusemecouldyouscratchmyb9803]

I know, so talented, so young, so not bloody fair! :-)

[@julianaoyegun7600]

[@sofoclesconfucius8277]

This version of hallelujah made a sixty year old man cry!!😢 wonderful!! Wonderfull!!!

[@mangomura7598]

I lost my mother recently. Your music comforted my broken heart. I really really appreciate that. Thank you, Sheku Kanneh-Mason.

[@karineder8119]

Every time I see this video it touches me so deeply . I can't help but literally weep. To play with such emotion and stir the heart is such a gift.

[@fifermcgee5971]

Leonard Cohen would be so proud to hear this rendition of his song. Beautiful, absolutely brilliant.

[@bhk110]

[@awhite7596]

Words do not do this young man's talent justice. His music sings for itself.

[@richardgray5069]

Leonard would have loved this. Too late to play it at his memorial but they can play it at mine.

[@sandyg.3454]

I’m fighting back tears. Sheku Kanneh-Mason you take my breath away young man! God bless you.

[@estherninsiima3992]

I stopped breathing during this. Utterly breathtaking. I think its the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. It said life and death and love and loss all without saying a word at all. I wanted it to go on and on but then it faded. A most faithful tribute.

[@irenicum]

Breathtaking was exactly my thought as well. This entire family is made up of musical geniuses.

[@Garuda_XLI]

You held your breath for 3 minutes holy shit

[@tejasnair3399]

Esther Ninsiima wow quite a beautiful comment! The musicians deserve that, but compositionally there’s much better out there than this.

[@charleslebek6684]

Absolutely out of this world. Someone so young .....amazing talent

[@cacciato69]

sometimes the word, even the best , get in the way! The music says it all. And I love KD Lang"s rendition.

[@elizabethdevries8028]

I can't stop listening to this. Sheku Kanneh-Mason is a gift to the world. This is absolutely stunning. He plays with his entire being. The world thanks you Sheku. What a beautiful arrangement of this epic song as well.

[@cordulalenzen5030]

The same from me. I caan' stop listening to him and them

[@lsbrgss]

Love me some Sheku!!! ♥️🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽♥️🙏🏽

[@samuelmuiruri4704]

40 people dislike this? am always impressed by the number of people who are not impressed.

[@safi.4537]

Young, black, gifted and humble!! Kudos😘

[@WiSadeS]

Sat with my Grand Father in his final days in this life, switch on the radio and have the joy to be blessed with Sheku's beautiful rendition. A composition which will follow my Grand Father into the next life and bless one and all with the spirit of "Hallelujah" to be enjoyed and embraced thanks to the precious gift of life.

[@karakeatley9510]

Proof that there is a transcendent and infinite human soul...

[@karakeatley9510]

@sheku kanneh-mason Thank you so much, and God bless you and yours always!!!

[@karakeatley9510]

@sheku kanneh-mason I'm from NJ and played the cello for years as an amateur. I even went back to school as a cello performance major, but have switched majors and am returning to IT. Listening to you feeds the soul, I am a loyal fan:)

[@karakeatley9510]

@sheku kanneh-mason You are amazing!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@RogerCorley]

That was the most beautiful, breathtaking rendition I've ever heard of this song. BRAVO!!!

[@disaj7460]

Am i the only one for whom this piece makes the heart soar? Simply beautiful...thanks for sharing your gift!

[@philippaforde364]

Beautiful rendition of one of my beloved songs!

[@cordulalenzen5030]

My English is not good enough to express my feelings, impressions about this young man and his family ! A wonder!

[@hndianarogers6023]

This rendition gave my father great peace in his final hours. Thank you! God Bless You!

[@kkwoods2004]

breathtakingly beautiful~~

[@motshewamodukanele1786]

I would love to thank the movie Bruised and Shazam for helping me find this.

[@archetypesandstereotypes]

Makes me proud to be from Nottingham.

[@chuckyp64]

I am covered in goosebumps. Thank you a thousand times over for the minor fall and the major lift.

[@dotwarmbier8614]

And I got the whole-body goosebumps again just reading your post!

[@BEN-hl6yt]

Is anyone else watching this because they saw him play at the BAFTAS recently? You play so wonderfully, it is so nice to watch you play. You could not get that sound on another instrument if you tried. The person I was watching this on TV with said, "Wow! He makes that thing sing!" You really do. Dr BEN.

[@crystalkirlia4553]

Dr BEN I know him personally. he played with my orchestra last year. him and his bro, brimah (sorry for the bad spelling) helped us all out when we were at overstrand. I'm still really great full for his help.

[@BEN-hl6yt]

What orchestra was that?

[@crystalkirlia4553]

Dr BEN check out Sistema England and all of the programs in it. I'm from Sistema Norwich, but I'm still in contact with people from the London projects and all the rest of us in the UK.

[@BEN-hl6yt]

Thanks!

[@crystalkirlia4553]

Dr BEN look at the video of the young leaders concert highlights and look for a girl with long blonde hair in the middle at the back...

[@jbdmed]

beautiful !! and as of today famous the world over

[@decast42]

I get tears - and I'm 75!

[@noktilux4052]

you need to grow up.

[@excusemecouldyouscratchmyb9803]

Am trying to play this on the cello - currently scaring the cats off. I will never sound like this in my wildest dreams but not giving up as you are inspiration....thank you for a sublime rendition.

[@grbacky]

Excuse me could you Scratch my back, I once thought this too! Just three quarters of a year ago, I couldn’t even put my fingers on the finger board without being in “excruciating” pain. Yet here I am. You’ll get there. Thinking you won’t is the only thing you’re doing wrong.

[@sparkie777]

I'm sure you will play this just as well with practise.

[@oluwaseunadegbenro1564]

I hope you haven't given up on getting better

[@marcemarcela4995]

¿porque no? Querer es poder💝

[@Theluckyonesss]

The cello has to be the most beautiful sounding instrument imho

[@BeautyforAshesAnastasia]

Shine, bright new star.

Sheku, you truly have mastered the whole range of your cello; and I love the arrangements of violins in taking up melody in third verse. Quite angelic.

I am just discovering this enjoyable musician. Seem like a nice young man. Here's hoping he stays like this.

Dude. That was incredibly moving. You have blown my mind. You are playing this song with all the bittersweet heartbreak and hope it was ever meant to have.

[@seanlong7872]

Again sheer beauty....love...tenderness...Lenny is indeed smiling.

[@farmerjones5479]

I am able to always identify yoyo ma. At the wedding of harry and megan i heard the music before I saw the musician. I assumed incorrectly that it was yoyo. This young man has incredible potential. I hope that the universe allows him to reach his true greatness and potential. And may god bless always his benefactor who gifted him the wonderful instrument. Amen

[@deandrabrown5733]

Beautiful talent. I really love it. All the best you and your family Sheku :). I'll see you all in concert one day. God bless.

[@janetshudson]
