He’s 19, from Nottingham in England and has multiple siblings who all play musical instruments. They appeared on Britain’s Got Talent and he won BBC Young Musician of the Year in 2016.

This young man, watched by millions, was in his own world, performing with matchless beauty.

It’s so weird that this is on my recommendations just 2 hours after my orchestra concert. I’m a cellist and I’m impressed by him. I aspire to one day play this angelic!

He is/was a student of a friend of mine from The Royal College of Music. Mesmerising and a really lovely person, to boot.

[MottiShneor]

He's good, and he will get better. He has this quality of quiet clarity that is worth a million. He will rise.

He was amazing. The entire ceremony was just great!

Just saw him tonight in Birmingham with the Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. It was simply stunning.
