Brett : "You did it!!"
Eddy:"We did it!"

Brought me to tears...
Their friendship is so beautiful.

[ellakaukonen]

They made a news article about this in Finland saying that Sibelius will be played to tens of thousands of people tonight ❤️

[Lampey]

Eddy’s part is so hard but can we appreciate that Brett was the whole orchestra 😂

Shoutout to the late Europe gang, who couldn't get up in the middle of the night. Still here supporting you, guys! Well done 👏

First man ever to perform sibelius in front of 40k people in a T-Shirt with balloons behind him- and I love it

[christopherthaxter]

Eddy: Violin Solo
Brett: Orchestra and Vocals

[Jax-O]

I love this community man, everyone is so respectful, it’s nice.

[kikis]

This is why musicians don't do physical activities, concertos are enough

40:28 the soloist turning the sheet music for his orchestra ✨

[hansmahr]

This was impressive, you can tell that Eddy practiced his ass off. The cadenza was beautifully played, the second movement was emotional and the third movement was exciting. Sure, there were mistakes, intonation issues here and there but way less than I expected considering how tough this piece is. The fact that 50000 people tuned in to watch the performance of a classical piece just shows you how much they have achieved and how many people they've brought to classical music.

[alyssejazz]

Dude... I just have no words

Eddy as a soloist just killed it. He was completely possessed by the music and he had an amazing sound. Brett sounded like a whole string section in an orchestra. You can definitely tell that they practiced their ass off for this and they made it EPIC.

I want to say thank you to Brett and Eddy and to every single one behind TwoSetViolin for making this possible. We just started an epic and INTERESTING journey and I hope this journey will never end.

[esmaharris]

I used to be a fan of Twoset, but after hearing this masterpiece, I'm a whole air conditioner 💕💕

[crimsonxxvip]

Remember when Eddy was hesitant to play the Sibelius because it's much harder? But the fans kept pushing him into it so he finally decided to do it. And he nailed it! They did really great! It's amazing. Congrats, Twoset and to their 3 mil subscribers! ❤

PS. They said before they don't want this to be an ongoing tradition. Now, they are themselves asking what to do in 4 mil. They already accepted their fate. Lol. 😆

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even know Sibelius...

[rebeccamouse]

Too bad you couldn’t hear the applause of 48, 000 people. You deserve to hear that. I looked it up just now: that is three times the size of the arena near me where I have seen major pop stars perform.

[lucymasters]

My sister’s water broke in the middle of the stream like an hour ago, I’m not kidding! Her partner rushed her off to hospital and I was just sitting there freaking out. All this was happening while there’s DRAMATIC AS HELL SIBELIUS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND, the *t i m i n g* was hilarious😂😂 wish her luck!

Edit: HE’S HERE EVERYONE! After 4 hours, baby Benjamin (Ben) is here and well. My sister is great too, just ridiculously tired lol. No, he wasn’t born holding a violin and no, I don’t think I’ll be able to convince her to name him Sibelius, lmao. He must have heard Brett and Eddy and thought *damn, that’s a sick tune* and come out to investigate😂 You guys are awesome, thanks for all the good wishes, I’m excited to be an auntie!

Awesome music guys!
