[NoshuHyena]

The melodic line is so clear and you give it a life of its own!

[fourstrings]

Ladies and gentlemen, here is the Starker (or the Fournier, or the Gendron, or the Rostropovich, as you prefer) of the next generation. Since I am living in Italy, where I arrived back in 1980, I do hope that he will come and perform for us here in Milan. He is awesome!

[cellokeith]

Watched this again today. To me, this defines perfection.

[prokrastnation]

This is... quite objectively one of the best cellist I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching.

[sirswagger]

I'm sorry, who could dislike this video? Absolutely stunningly played, bravo!

[MrDoglightning]

After I listened to this I said out loud "are you kidding me". That was amazing great job!

[fourstrings]

I see that there are eight 'thumbs down'. But how on Earth can anyone fail to acknowledge the excellence of this superb performance?

[galnyska]

such natural, free and honest cello playing and music making... thank you.

[tytytiethr]

Mr. Crawford, your interpretation of this song is by far my favorite. You are exemplary! Thank you!

[chriskershaw]

that nonchalence, that absolute nonchalence... *kowtows*

[josephsmith]

He's playing that with a bandaid on his finger? Mad respect. It sounds incredible.

[CarlosRicovslosmolinosdeviento]

Gorgeous playing, the definite best in youTube, the different voices are clear, great emotion. I am speechless

[mcguffin]

Seriously breathtaking, every note so clear without losing the circularity. Amazing!

[fourstrings]

Technically impeccable, and highly musical into the bargain. Bravissimo!

[borlev]

Thank you very much for this. I just can not stop listening this master piece.

[keilou_]

I'm playing caprise number 1 and 9 and they are a nightmare. My playing sounds like a 4 yr old screaming.Thiss Is very impressivr

[pneuma]

This is beyond impressive! And I could be mistaken, but is he playing with a band aid on his first finger? If so, I am even more stunned! He makes it soud so easy and it´s played so gracefully. Will come back to watch this again for sure!

[TheTradge]

Absolutely sublime musically and technically!

[ClarissaVieira]

Powerful playing and that’s a beautiful cello!

[alexandersmith]

Your line is very clear. Your instrument is beautiful as well.
