เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 13 ส.ค. 2015
A unique and versatile cello quintet, hailed as “brilliant” and “superb” by Mark Swed in the Los Angeles Times, the SAKURA Cello Quintet draws from the rich heritage of a repertoire that spans eight centuries, with a commitment to opening new vistas of beauty and expression by showcasing the great warmth and scope of five cellos. SAKURA explores great music of the past through dazzling arrangements that offer fresh perspectives on familiar notes, and continually expands the five-cello repertoire into the future by commissioning new works. In the tradition of the great chamber ensembles, the quintet distills its interpretations through time, reveling in the pure sonic pleasure of a unified and colorful sound. Its name honors the great mentor and artist Ralph Kirshbaum, with whom all five members studied: "sakura" (桜) (Japanese) and "Kirschbaum" (German) have the same meaning: “cherry tree”, an organism whose flowers have five petals.

Mon oeuvre préférée de Rachmaninoff, mais grâce à vos arrangements et votre interprétation, elle prend une tout autre dimension. Quel envol ! Quelles émotions ! Merci pour l'émotion et vos vibrations ! ♥
I really love this performance and this arrangement. Have you published the score? How can I get it?
@@DuyenNguyenThiKim-n3s Thank you! Minstrels is not available yet but we do plan to publish it. I will let you know when it comes out. Meanwhile, feel free to check out ascendamusic.com/string-catalog/ for other arrangements (including another Debussy prelude, “La fille aux cheveux de lin”).
Erkonig is the most beautiful song in the universe
I love your performance! Thank you for your great performance. I also play cello in Korea :) I love your arrangement. Can you share the music?
Thanks for the kind words! We hope to publish Spain soon. Meanwhile, do check out our other available arrangements at ascendamusic.com/string-catalog/.
@@SAKURAcellos we can't wait for the score anymore 😍😍 maybe this year we can buy it ?

Easily the best string arrangement of Spain!
Très étonnant votre son, tout y est ! Superbe arrangement !
Omg! The best!!
Lenny definitely would’ve loved it, how could you not!!!
Simply gorgeous interpretation of this iconic masterpiece. Very inspiring for this old new cello student. Thank you for sharing.
Incredible
Do Claire de Lune by Debussy please.
We have! Video coming soon…
@@SAKURAcellosyay! Also, Nocturne from the Borodin string quartet would be amazing for your format too. :)
brilliant and beautiful...and played so passionately!
Maravilhoso! 🙏❤️💐👏👏👏🇧🇷🖖
🎼Thank you so much for what you are doing. You perform so touching on your beautiful instruments ❤.

goddamn what an arrangement and performance!
Love you guys xx thanks from a heart broken cellist xxxx
The performance and the arrangement are both wonderful and excellent! It's unfortunate that the Cha-Cha didn't make the final cut, though, I would have loved to hear you play it!
Lovely, and makes it even more amazing when just one person plays essentially the same on a violin...
I am blown away
It touched me, a lover of the piano Rachmaninoff!
Hi! I am a cellist, and I really liked this arrangement. I would love to play this with my group, although I dont find any sheet anywhere. Could you provide any for us, then we can buy it? Thank you in advance!
We will be publishing several arrangements this year, not including Spain, but that one will likely follow. We’ll be sure to let you know!
🇦🇷👏🏼👏🏼
Amaizing
U guys are my favorite quintet
So perfect
❤️❤️
❤️❤️❤️
👍🏼
It's gold ❤️
Have you ever considered putting your music on Spotify or another streaming platform? The compositions are very beautiful and I wish there was an easier way to listen. Much love from New York!
Not to say anything bad about Stella Cho, she sounds great, but what happened to Gabriel Martins?
Gabe left the group in 2019 to study on the East Coast. We miss him, but Stella is a spectacular colleague as well!
Much darker than the solo violin (Ernst) version. I think I prefer this! I wish I could play the cello!
@SAKURAcellos HOW???? How did you manage to make your cellis sound like a flute??? The begining is stunning!!!!
YOSEMITE SAM!
Goose game but with a bigger animal, like a ostrich
Love your music! Where can I buy sheet music? Do you plan on selling your cello arrangements? Please? 🤩
Stay tuned!
Brilliant!
Love your music! Do you see any of your arrangements online? Would love to purchase your sheet music. Thanks!
If I heard this without seeing the video, I'd NEVER would have thought it would have been comprised of ALL cellos. The note range is insane
Nice!! Is there a way to get the sheet music?
Not presently, but we may publish it later. We’ll let you know!
Needs more goose
I always wanted to have the Erlkönig as a villain in my DnD campaign. Now I have a theme song haha ! Thank you. Wonderfull arrangement and interpretation.
