This elegy has been one of my favorite pieces on the piano for years. Then I heard Sheku's performance of it on the cello last week, and I couldn't believe how much more vivid it sounds. It's as though Sheku brought Rachmaninoff's spirit back to life.
@@youngpaderewski3668 Bruch: Kol Nidrei for violoncello and orchestra. And: Theme from Schindler's list for Violoncello and orchester. (It's even greater than the version with violin, in my opinion😉)
When I see these young people and listen to the music they perform I am hopeful for our children, the world has so much hatred in it.and finding these young musicians have lite a light in my soul.
His sister should've told him about his back of his head. FLAT AS AFRO. Not to mention the original artist who made this was a slave owner so lets not pretend BLM hasn't been discrediting all historical slave owners and racists. Mmmmkay
I am obsessed with Sheku and love his whole family. I discovered him while I was home fighting the coronavirus and can't stop listening. He moves me to tears. Whoever disliked this needs to never vote again on you tube,
I agree. He and his family helped to get me through these last few months with their family concerts. They made being quarantined just a little bit easer.
People probably disliked because of the music video. You can see he built it up from more than 2 videos. Sometimes there is a broke hair sometimes not. For example, see fingering in 3:13
Oh WOW he is so taken over by the music that it just tears at your insides ! If that makes sense - I don’t know how else to put it !! It is rare to find a cellist who plays with such soul and emotion - there are many who are technically brilliant and astound with the dexterity of their fingers etc but Sheku is on a different plane completely - thank you ,thank you - you gave my inner self a real work out ! - felt quite worn out by the end . Would love to come to one of your concerts !
His music and style touches my inner being! Words cannot describe how watching and listening to Sheku play. I'm so fortunate to have discovered this talented artist.
He reminds me a bit of another world-class British cellist - who can forget Jacquie's wonderful almost-human sound, and the way she bonded totally with her instrument? I see many of the same traits in Sheku - he may be the cellist of his generation, as Jacquie was of hers. Such stunning playing....
His lines are absolutely stunning. every ounce of his soul goes into each note. love his slurs, vibrato, everything about him. his musicality is so mature for his age. sublime. thank you for giving me this opportunity to feel this pathos sheku.
Moved me to tears. Passionate. Beyond proficient. Heartfelt. And there’s something so majestic about seeing the descendants of slavery from the African diaspora perform European classical musical...artistically and culturally, it’s freedom personified.
Sheku has been able to make classical music more accessible to many more people in a way in which he still pays respect to the unique style of classical. He is so talented and influential. Well done!
wow. This is a teenager, albeit one who is exceptional and a worthy winner of BBC YMOTY, but even so this just soars and is far beyond any other arrangement or performance I have heard.
I love Rachmaninoff music so much, thank you for this recording, at the age of 15 I heard Rachmaninoff for the first time (pianoconcerto nr 2), I was in love with classical music. Now I am 57 years and that love is going stronger and stronger. In april 2021 there will be my first grand child, a grand daugther I hope so will love classical music as much as I do. Greetings from the Netherlands.
Incredible! Hearing the "Elegie" here, one would never believe this was originally a solo piano piece (from Rachmaninoff's 1892 set Morceaux de Fantaisie, Op. 3).
It was and is Intended to remain a solo piece period. But you know this generation. Take all the original and plagiarize the hell out of it. Almost as if these people have no originality of their own... Cant seem to find true talent anymore. Think. Decades from now we can take some rap music and make it our own and the world will pay is and give us gratitude 😂. If you want my opinion. It takes a true soloist to play this right. This guys is kinda good; however, NOT A TRUE MUSICIAN
@@sanpablolasvegas5704 I don't understand how playing an adaptation of a piece originally written for another instrument constitutes plagiarism, and also, why would you say that he's not a "true musician", whatever that means. You don't have to necessarily be a composer in order to be a musician you know? As far as adaptations go, Rachmaninov himself made a piano version of Kreisler's Liebesleid (for violin). Would that make him a bad composer then for some reason?
@@rafadawabe But of course you wouldn't understand Rafael... Music plagiarism is the use or close imitation of another author's music while representing it as one's own original work. Plagiarism in music now occurs in two contexts-with a musical idea (that is, a melody or motif) or sampling (taking a portion of one sound recording and reusing it in a different song). For a legal history of the latter see sampling.
@@rafadawabe you probably are that kid who thinks he is smart because you are google/ safari educated but have no credentials whom goes against the grain to question the sensible with senseless rhetoric. Its okay rafael... You just have to admit that you are a bit dumb. Maybe your teacher passed you even tho you failed your classes. So this is your teachers fault. Its not your fault rafael. Just know that
Браво, ребята. Отличный дуэт. Хорошо друг друга чувствуете. Фортепиано деликатно sempre pp u ppp, даже там, где экспрессия, нигде не увлеклась, виолончель не забила. Отлично. Прекрасно. Проникновенно. 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I literally want to jump up and yell bravo, except I’m in my living room and not at the symphony. I just got so wrapped up in this amazing performance. Bravo. Bravo. Bravo.
Sheku and Isata in another awesome duet! He transfers one of my favourite piano pieces so well it sounds like it was written for the cello. Brilliant performance, and very well arranged as a duet. The choice of the voices for each phrase was perfect.
Sheku is absolutely my all-time favorite cellist! I LOVE him! Yo-Yo Ma is certainly still in my top favorites. However, Sheku has edged himself above Yo-Yo Ma with me. I love hearing his double-stops! His performances bring out so much emotion in me and I often get chills around the crown of my head and down my shoulders! At times during his performances, he seems so rapt in his music and I think to myself: "If he were to shed a tear while playing, I would absolutely fall to pieces!" As a classically trained percussionist, I have been placed in awe of Sheku and think that it would be such an impressive honor to one day be able to meet and spend time with him! I have such great appreciation for his musical talent!
Two remarkable members of a great musical family. This piece is a joy to hear. And with musicians this young, we can look forward to decades of masterful performances!
What dreams may come to fruition from these people is yet to be and we all witnessed the beginning of perfection manifesting in our lifetime ❤ ✨ ♥ 💕 💙 💜 ❤ ✨
He always arrives precisely on pitch in portato , always! Something singers aspire to in slurs,but dont always achieve. Every note has its own life and meaning. TRuly wonderful! Thank you.
Sheku Kanneh-Mason, thank you for sharing this video!! I am so amazed by your “preternatural” capacity to play the cello. I think that your leafing through the music is quite stunning, sublime. It must sound like the orchestra in heaven eh? Sheku, they really have a choir in heaven, sun..lol son:) I am trying to give you a pictorial view of the (son), “the only begotten one”. [John 3:16) He reminds me of you…the music seems so innocent and so precious. I am so awe- filled by God's ability to create and fashion you in your mother’s womb with such sounds and tones that have the ability to create the music of verse. Such wonderful musical verses that actually settle one’s thought patterns for moments to see GOD. I remember watching the video of you guys and I was sooo astonished by the fact that God had gifted your entire family??? Have you ever thought about what he was thinking when he created your Mom? What her assignment was in the earth realm for you and your siblings? He knew before your were in your Mother’s womb that she was going to carry an orchestra of “PATHFINDERS“ that would inspire the “HUMAN RACE”, one blood. “HE” is such a wonder in your soul. :) {Psalm 119:105} I am soooo inspired. Anywho, I just wanted you to know that I am here in North Carolina seated in a wheelchair for some time now and hearing your music again makes me feel eagerly athirsted. I am excited about your future!!! I pray that somehow schools and Universities will offer music programs that comprise stringed instruments. You should really become an ambassador, and advocate for them!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! Come on, do the research and put in the time. You already know some important “ROYAL” folks! :) #YES, YOU CAN. You have to think and dream bigger. You have to grow beyond just playing the instrument and see others engaged and playing it even better than you!! #DREAM SHEKU!! Pray about it and include your entire family. God really strategically thought you guys life out and has a divine plan. {Jeremiah 29:11’} Moreover, I wanted to know if you were a born-again believer, Ummm, a Christian, Ummmm saved? :) I am not sure if you know what I mean? Lol {Romans 10:9} Most people these days are, however, they are not yet filled with the Holy Spirit. Are you filled and do you speak in unknown tongues? #it is a supernatural prayer language wherein you get to commune with the God of the universe!!! YUP, he is sooo fresh and cool!! He loves you, and knows that I am writing you. He actually planned it before you were in your Mother’s womb. Yep…I pray that all of you guys say the prayer of salvation and that God quickly fills all of you on the same night!! Maybe even while you are playing your instruments???? YAY!!! WOOO--HOOOO!!! Know that he can do exceeding and abundantly above all we can actually think, imagine and believe (above the highest prayers) according to the power that worketh in us. {Ephesians 3:20}. SOOOOO, I am giving you some homework!!! Yep, tonight... 1-Pray about salvation and whether or not you want Jesus as the Lord and Savior of your life. Whether or not you want to become his friend and or allow him to become your heavenly Father. 2: Pray daily for the gift of the Holy Spirit {Acts 2:14} [Joel 2:28] 3; Purchase a cool Dake Bible and tell your sisters to purchase an Amplified/King James Version parallel Bible and start seeking him for your divine purposes. 4: Find a Spirit-Led Pentecostal Church. 5: Forgive everyone 6: Write down 500 dreams!!! :) Every String, Riza Harris #Every Blessing Son!! {1Peter2:9} #JUST ASK HER IF SHE KNOWS HIM YET? IF SHE IS FILLED. Meghan Markle was created and wrought in royalty. Know that her receiving Christ as her Lord and Savior and getting filled with the Holy Spirit affirms her personage. #YOU CAN DO IT… Come on Sheku, you are an answer to her many prayers. You have something that will change her life forever, whether she goes back to Buckingham Palace or not she will be a Daughter of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords :) #He is God, even before history began. #COVID-19 Stay safe!!!

Sheku, you are certainly one whose name is going to be in big lights from now on. Gorgeous tone, intonation and control, control, control! May you go very far with your talent and passion!
I don't know these people. But they are in perfect harmony. Cello and Piano. Look at the expression on their faces especially the young man the feeling is so strong I can feel his music. And the movements made by the lady as she plays I feel it and even in her eyes. Though the camera is specifically on the man. This is very beautiful music.
SHEKU! SHEKU! SHEKU! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE COME TO PHILADELPHIA, US! I'm in tears after your playing! It's the most beautiful work I've ever felt! Kimmel Center or Academy of Music, Philadelphia Orchestra! 😭😂😍😀
This elegy has been one of my favorite pieces on the piano for years. Then I heard Sheku's performance of it on the cello last week, and I couldn't believe how much more vivid it sounds. It's as though Sheku brought Rachmaninoff's spirit back to life.

You can find him playing with Chineke Orchestra. Next tour date , Royal Festival Hall 21 July , 2018. I will be there.

I identify with this. 🙏🏻 they are a special family, here for a reason.
Благодарю, божественная музыка и прекрасное ваше исполнение ❤❤❤❤❤
Thought the rendition of the piece at 17 was incredibly moving; this one is even more refined. Love them both. .. And both siblings as well.
I've never heard the piece done more beautifully, ever! Bravo, Bravo!
Such an amazing family, how can anyone not love his music
I'm 48 and want to play the cello because of you! May your star always shine brightly and your passion never falters.
Merci
His sister is an incredible accompanist. I'm interested in seeing her play as well.
She is excellent as a solo pianist too!
Executed with great technical control and musical subtlety.
his phrasing and musicality are top notch!

I don't know these people. But they are in perfect harmony. Cello and Piano. Look at the expression on their faces especially the young man the feeling is so strong I can feel his music. And the movements made by the lady as she plays I feel it and even in her eyes. Though the camera is specifically on the man. This is very beautiful music.
Sheku and Isata Kanneh Mason. Brother and sister from a family of 7 who all play music to a very high standard
