Vivaldi Concerto for Two Cellos...for Two Cellos

[@alainremi267]

Merci, merci, merci !!! Je vous imagine à l'Ospedale della Pietà, en belle robe, jouer devant le gratin Vénitien de l'époque qui se régale autant que moi quelques siècles plus tard... Bravo & continuez à nous faire du bien😍😍😍

[@TEKRific]

What a delightful and compelling arrangement. Highlighting the two cellos in this way is great and also the piece is given a greater clarity without the orchestra. I really like this minimalist way of giving center stage to the cello. I absolutely adore this instrument and love to listen to your playing! Thanks so much Cicely and Annie for putting your talents on display with this piece!

[@cicelyparnas]

What amazing feedback, thank you so much!! I'm totally biased, but I also love featuring the cello this way :)

[@bayareapianist]

You guys are amazing 👏👏 I used to play this piece 15 years ago and I have listened to many versions. Just a bit for you beautiful girls... You are 5 to 10 percent fast. I think its because you are beautiful and young. Give the audience a chance to enjoy your techniques as well.

[@jsebme]

Thank you for this moment of pleasure! Nice duet!

[@anlevkov]

Браво! Отличный дуэт и музыка Вивальди!👍

[@danielvent3927]

LOVE Vivaldi, all I've been listening to lately. Great job Cicely, your last few videos have been excellent, every time I see a new one I get excited!

[@cicelyparnas]

aw thank you!! Yeah, Vivaldi is really the best :)

[@LouiseFrenett]

I love the arrangement! The incorporation of the orchestra into the parts was done so well!! Such crystal clear sounds from both of you

[@MA-ho5hd]

I randomly came across this while browsing and am so glad I diid. Beautiful playing of beautiful music.

[@cicelyparnas]

Oh well welcome!! Thank you so much for the lovely comment!

[@teamleader837]

Beautifully done. Just two instruments, but somehow, the robust richness of sound feels as satisfying as an orchestra.

[@cicelyparnas]

I'm glad you think so!! Making it feel like you're not missing anything was definitely the objective. Thank you!!

[@amandaduffy2324]

Amazing, fabulous articulation and dynamics, love, love, love it! ❤🎉

[@Ck996tt]

You have such great sound and technique. Love the composition. Hope to play it someday.

[@thomasraphael1426]

Je n'ai pas trouvé d'équivalent ailleurs. J'adore ! Merci pour le partage de cette pépite !

[@lvl5popcap]

I may be biased but everything sounds better as a cello duet!

[@cicelyparnas]

haha I agree!!

[@c0med14]

This is a fact!

[@williamtell6750]

It is a surprisingly versatile combination.

[@Cell01222]

As a cellist Ong. I don’t have anyone that will do duets with me though

[@AlbertOkay]

This is my new favorite

[@cicelyparnas]

Aw that's amazing 🥹🥹🥹

[@Carmen-q3w]

Wonderful duet! Superb music! Another Vivaldi classic.

[@davidcooper1680]

Wow! Heard you play the Elgar concerto in Sedona, AZ and have been hooked ever since.

[@cicelyparnas]

I miss Sedona!!

[@sidarthas3867]

🎶❤️🎶 you two play so well together! This is wonderful. 😊

[@shaunwheeler4055]

Beautiful. Very fun song to play as a cellist. As I’m one..

Oh cool! Beautiful execution and great composition! Truly no "boring" parts 😁

[@cicelyparnas]

Haha we don't do boring around here 😁

[@UTubeSL]

Wow, what a beautiful performance! Thank you for sharing it.

[@michaelverive4807]

Great job! Just learning this now, and it’s harder than it looks (and you even managed to wipe your hair away at around the 1:30 mark and didn’t lose a beat!).

[@xxbstpagexx]

Bravo! Well played. Thank you.

[@wormpie4932]

Beautiful.

[@Vital_Struj]

I loved the ponticello, too.

[@marcoviolo]

Great sounds! Wonderful melodia… perfect recording… which microphone was used in this performance? Beatiful place in this channel!

[@lelo_alves4567]

[@lesshiaman8952]

[@ArsentiyKharitonov]

Bravo!! Sounds terrific!

[@cicelyparnas]

Thanks Arsentiy!!!

[@Almostgoffful]

It would be awesome if you did a play-along for your arrangement :)

[@khorramf]

Bravo, you are good.

[@HarpPianoCello]

Hi Cicely, I hope this will be released in your next album? lol I've been looping this video for ages!

[@cicelyparnas]

Oh I hadn't even thought about releasing an album but maybe I should! Thank you!!

[@HarpPianoCello]

@@cicelyparnas ahah or just an EP with this full concerto 2-cellos only version so I can continue to loop it without having to play youtube everytime 😂

[@robertwilson5615]

A fine performance! Your cellos look so different. May we have information about them?

[@cicelyparnas]

Thank you! I'm afraid I can't remember what Annie plays on, but mine is a copy of my grandfather's 1698 Rosette Gofriller, made in the 1980s by Roelof Weertman.

[@_mehdi_]

Very beautiful playing! Can you please tell me what your microphone and recording setup is? I was looking for a good mic for recording my cello, but I can't find anything special for that

[@cicelyparnas]

If you're looking for a mic for your cello, I would definitely look at large diaphragm condenser mics. I have an AKGC414, but I wouldn't recommend it, unfortunately. The mic I would love to have but can't afford is a Neumann U87. Best thing you can do is rent a bunch and try them all out.

[@enjoynocturne]

two thumbs up ... with two thumbs

[@cicelyparnas]

haha thank you!
