It is not easy for everyone to play Debussy and performance. These two young men have done this perfectly. Good for them.

[string]

This is by far the best rendition of Beau Soir I've ever heard. Still gives my goosebumps when I listen to it.

[earsense]

I can't stop listening or watching. This is other worldly.

[ncheadhntr]

Pure decadence. Molten Gold running through my soul. Hauntingly romantic.

[MikaEver]

This version deserves a huge and global stand up !!

[notmyworld]

One of my top 10 favorite pieces, and I'm a beginner 'cellist. This is INSPIRING!

[lopegeronilla]

I'm just learning cello and wow this is breathtaking 

[organist]

This is a breathtaking rendition of this beautiful composition; I can't begin to fathom how there can possibly be any thumbs-down!

[seangray]

Absolutely magnificent, one of the best renditions I have seen of Debussy's work guys filled with feeling and compassion, very well done x

[luisrodriguez-vigil]

the cello speaks, it has really a human soul.You almost can hear every silab of the lirics.astonishing

[juliushahn]

Loved it!
It's cool to see that you've kept the middle section melodies as they are like in the original, unlike the Heifetz version which swaps them over!

[PaulaMarinHerrera]

There's no words to describe how beautiful is this...

[olimohacsi]

Quelle belle idée que cette transposition pour violoncelle de cette très belle mélodie de Debussy!

[AndrewPhillipsTech]

When streams turn pink in the setting sun,
And a slight shudder rushes through the wheat fields,
A plea for happiness seems to rise out of all things
And it climbs up towards the troubled heart.
A plea to relish the charm of life
While there is youth and the evening is fair,
For we pass away, as the wave passes:
The wave to the sea, we to the grave.
