These two women bring such passion and a burning beauty to their instruments that they have to be some of the intimate musicians and occasional writers in any style of music!
Natalie is one of my heroes. I'm a classical cellist, but I grew up listening to Celtic music, and a cello can add sooo much depth. I haven't found a local Celtic music jam yet, but it's definitely something I'd have a blast at.
Pretty sure you could pull off a cello at a jam group if you learned how to improvise over I-IV-V tunes or take the melody, play like the bass or drone chords 'til the break comes around and get off to the races. You could at the very least pull it off without being a nuisance, the sound of a cello blends quite well. Don't know much about picky bluegrassers but old time groups might appreciate the novelty, long as it sounds good.
@@zachb8012 Classical musicians tend to be awful at improvisation, except for the *really* good ones. I haven't had a lot of practice, and it's definitely a skill I'm going to need to work on. It's kind of sad, really - traditionally, the cadenza in a concerto was an opportunity for the soloist to improvise, but today even the cadenzas have calcified into fixed forms.
@@rachelandeen You might be terrible at improvisation in like the jazz or classical sense, but in the context of a jam you might be over thinking it. I play notes from the mode and hope it sounds good, trying build up or down to the right note when the tune turns around. Not that I'm good at it either but there's no coherent thought going through my head. Plus you could just play the melody, you don't have to improvise. My point is the bar is pretty low if you want to goof around at a jam, if that's what gets you playing music it's a good thing.
Sounds so great, fiddle is sweet and cello providing fantastic accompaniment….I really need to some experimenting with this style of cello playing myself
One of my favorite pieces of music, played by my favorite duet. ;)

Brittany is the best of all time.

Yeah, I'm not even a musician but I think her skill and creativity are awesome. And her sister Brittany can sure play that fiddle too !

Bravo!
Another joyful combination of the two sisters Natalie and Brittany Haas ! Uncompromising perfect ! 4:13
Love love love Natalie I’ve met and truly a kind compassionate person
The really amazing thing to me is that they are not just playing this (brilliantly), but they composed and arranged it themselves ! It's like "Wow !"
Sisters plural! Twins? And such infectious smiles they share with each other. Marvelous.
They're not twins, though they look like it.
This may be my favorite video on all of TH-cam.
It IS really good, in so many ways !
Yes, a nice surprise for a Sunday afternoon here in the UK!
It's so much fun to see these two play together. Fantastic.
Thoroughly amazing from start to finish! You should both be proud to be each other’s amazingly talented sister.
Nice!
Two, playing as one, sounding like four.
thanks! that is a sweet compliment.
I cannot wait!
You never fail to amaze me, Brittany! You and your sister are phenomenal! I hope to see you soon!

This is really an opened door to a new world.
The second part, "The Cowboy Druid" should be part of the soundtrack of a movie or something !
