2cellos

I'm telling you now, these guys are amazing. Unlike other artists who have turned classical music into rock, these boys do the reverse and bring the classical into rock. I hadn't heard of them (yes I must have been living on the moon) until someone posted their massive hit single Thunderstruck to facebook, and my goodness, I could not believe my eyes or ears. And yes, go check them out on YouTube and prepared to be smitten. I have absolute cello fever and cannot get enough of them.I've yet to see them live, of which I am determined to one day (their gigs sell out quick) as everyone I have spoken to who has say it's a memorable moment of a lifetime. Go on, what are you waiting for, go and watch them on youtube...

This is an extraordinary duo. Their use of a classic instrument such as a cello is simply amazing: it's innovative, it's refreshing and it's good. Not for a moment did I peg any of the songs as a mere instrumental version, as their execution simply feels like it's not lacking anything. I highly recommend this album to, well, everyone who can appreciate music and is not as stiff as to only fanatically listen to one genre and dismiss everything else.

if you have not herd of them listen to never heard celloes played like these play im hucked on the 2cellos very easy to get into

I've stumbled upon these 2 fabulous musicians by chance, like many others on the internet, due to my love for rockers & the famous crossover violinist David Garrett...glad I've given them a chance because they really rock (excuse my pun ;-P)!As another fan told in another review, the beauty of them is to blend together so perfectly & apparently effortless sound, with just 2 cellos, it's unbelieavable.It seems to imagine a good orchestra behind them that instead simply isn't there: but I prefer it simple & purely straight to the point like this 1 is.I guess this is their highest value as originality: not even Garrett played it the same way (I like of course also his approach), & again, even if a friend showed me his older Apocalyptica cds to explain me that they've not technically invented this genre, I still think their touch is unique.Last but not least, I've liked their musical personal choice about the tracks to cover in this album, because it's a beautiful mix of heavy rock & softer pop tracks, so nobody will be disappointed (special mention for that super & dark version of Smell like teen spirit) or bothered (because it's only for classical lovers).If you like to recognize a typical arrangment & instrument that sounds like a voice, just go for it because this is for you too!

Absolutely love these albums been listening on YouTube . Had to buy he's an amazing cellist . Listen to him all renditions of pop songs are amazing.

Accidently came across the Croatian lads on Sky Arts 1 when channel hopping.You really must get the DVD to appreciate them at their very best.These are tracks from the concert, but studio recorded.They've toured with Sir Elton John and now are just rocketing skywards.I really hope they tour the UK soon.

Excellent album, arrived well packaged, no broken or cracked case, well done momox.

Liked most of the tracks on the cd. Unfortunately spoiled by being able to hear the musicians breathing heavily while playing. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it.

Just found a video on Pinterest of these two amazing artists. Couldn't believe the great energy and precision of their work. Who would ever think Cellos could deliver this much excitement - fantastic. Ordered 2 cds and will order more.

Absolutamente recomendable!

Concordo con un precedente commento che dice che la qualità sonora non è eccelsa.Nonostante ciò, è un disco nuovo e suona come ci si aspetta (almeno nella quasi totalità degli impianti audio).Ho comprato il disco perchè mi piaceva il formato, non credo che comprando il CD ci sia differenza di suono, visto che comunque bisogna accontentarsi della non perfetta registrazione originale. Questione di gusto personale e praticità.Sicuramente meglio dello streaming che si ascolta in rete.

»Sie sagte, dass sie mit mir tanzen würde, wenn ich ihr rote Rosen brächte,« rief der junge Student; »aber in meinem ganzen Garten gibt es keine einzige rote Rose.«Von ihrem Nest in der Steineiche hörte ihn die Nachtigall, schaute durch die Blätter und wunderte sich.»Keine einzige rote Rose in meinem ganzen Garten!«, rief er, und seine schönen Augen füllten sich mit Tränen. »Ach, von welch kleinen Dingen das Glück abhängt! Ich habe alles gelesen, was kluge Menschen geschrieben haben, alle Geheimnisse der Philosophie sind mein; nun, da ich einer einzigen rote Rose bedarf, ist mein Leben elend.«»Das ist endlich ein wahrer Liebender,« sagte die Nachtigall. »Nacht für Nacht sang ich von ihm, dachte, ich kenne ihn nicht: Nacht für Nacht erzählte ich seine Geschichte den Sternen und erst jetzt erkenne ich ihn. Seine Haar ist dunkel wie Hyazinthenblüten, und seine Lippen sind rot wie die Rose seines Verlangens; aber Leidenschaft hat sein Gesicht blass wie Elfenbein werden lassen und Sorgen haben ihr Siegel über seinen Augenbrauen hinterlassen.«»Der Prinz gibt morgen Abend einen Ball,« murmelte der junge Student, »und meine Liebste wird bei der Gesellschaft sein. Wenn ich ihr eine rote Rose bringe, wird sie mit mir bis zur Morgendämmerung tanzen. Wenn ich ihr eine rote Rose bringe, kann ich sie in meinen Armen halten, und sie wird ihren Kopf an meine Schulter lehnen, und ihre Hand wird in meiner liegen. Aber es gibt keine rote Rose in meinem ganzen Garten, also werde ich alleine bleiben und sie wir an mir vorübergehen. Sie wird sich nicht für mich erwärmen und mein Herz wird brechen.«

Saw these 2 guys on Ellen and was so impressed that I bought this CD. To listen to the whole thing is a bit unusual of a beat with the pounding of the cello, but the cover songs that they do are incredible (ie 'Where the Steets have no Names' or 'Hurt'). Definitely worth it!!! Put it on your carousel CD changer for a bit of variety for a great music mix!
