I believe that is one of the greatest pieces of music ever composed. What John Williams did was the definition of a masterpiece.

My beloved grandfather lost his parents, 2 sisters and a brother in Auschwitz in 1944, he managed to survive with his twin and another younger brother. The worked as jewellers and came to the UK via Denmark. The twins lived unlit their 99th birthday, the youngest was I’ll most of his life and died in his 40s. I saw this film on my own as my wife couldn’t cope with the storyline, my heart breaks for what we lost as a family and as a cultural nation. The sad thing is I can see us as a world heading back to those times of ghettos and it is still very much a world of them and us. This music score is a masterpiece and is as great if not greater than any classical piece written by the greatest maestro’s in history.

This song brings tears to my eyes, no matter whether its played on the cello, violin or any other instrument. It's just so moving..

[beesaved]

I've never heard anyone play like this before. There's just something about the vibrato and bow technique that really makes it seem as though the cello is crying

[zeeshanbcj]

This is priceless music. I lost two of my grandparents during Holocaust. May their soul rest in peace.

[dejiadeleye]

They didn't just play for an audience, they played for the millions of people lost their lives and suffered in some of the most tragic and ruthless ways imaginable. What an amazing performance.

[phaywood]

The passion and compassion shown by both the cellists and the cellos is spellbinding.

[belladaymusic]

I don't always get goosebumps when I listen to music, but I do with this song, every single time.

[thesumitchakraborty]

The pain is sublime .. like the strings of cellos are crying. ultimate bliss

[aabbas]

Christian, Jewish, Muslim, all get left behind. This music is pain described in its most sublime, most vulnerable form. I think the cello is better suited for this piece of music as the tone is deeper and almost lamenting in its plead to humanity. Remember what you did, don't let it repeat! I listen, I cry and I repeat.

When Spielberg asked John Williams to write the score for Schindler’s List he showed him an early cut of the movie. Williams stood up and walked out of the screening room. He came back in a few minutes later crying and said “you need someone better than me to write music for this.” And Spielberg said “I know, but everyone better than you is dead.”

[eunsilko]

Still love this amazing performance...in 2023!! Luka..Stjepan...you two played with your soul...thank you so much for such a beautiful, soulful...heartfelt masterpiece...I don't know how many times I've cried when I watch the movie...true hero and his sacrifice...

[stevanpavitt]

There is no human to this. It is pure soul. What a gift we have in Two Cellos. I'm in tears. Such beauty. Bravo, boys, Bravo.

[lynneshellyattianeseattian]

And John Williams wrote a masterpiece, Perfect, I cry Every time I listen to Schinders list. You got into my soul and heart. Thank you for writing what we feel inside.

[clar]

That cello is crying ..along with me,
of course ..This song touches the heart and soul.May all those who suffered so greatly rest peacefully in Heaven.

[jimstavrakis]

Just when I thought the violin gets in deep into your soul these two boys with the cellos go even deeper with one the greatest piece of music ever written and performed by an orchestra, god bless you all ❤❤❤

[robdurant]

My heart breaks every time I hear this song.

[saraabat]

I cried a lot when I first heard this music. I didn't know the background of this music at the time. When I watched the Schindler's List movie, I cried again. I had bought tickets for his concert in Prague long ago, but it was still delayed because of the Covid. Schindler was a Czech. I will be happy to enjoy this music in the Czech Republic. This will be the best moment of my life.

[gronolachunks]

Two words. John Williams the man who wrote the music from your favorites like star wars, hook, most of the main themes to harry potter, ET, jurassic park, indiana jones, super man, home alone, tom sawyer, jaws, close encounters, dracula, war of the worlds, tin tim, lincoln, the BFG.... the man is absolutely incredible. A legend.

[loualcaraz]

I know this piece was written for the violin, but to me the cello is the perfect instrument for this piece. It's just so beautifully haunting.
