Nicolas performed this at the 2011 Cello Festival Elder Hall Adelaide South Australia. His encore left me in a state of euphoria that when I finally left the hall and shared with a friend I stated that I had been touched by the hand of God. I finally tracked down the program today to experience again the delight this man brings via his instrument. We are indeed blessed by such an expressive soul. Martyn

Cant’ help coming back here. As others mentionnes, third movement sounds rushy. First one is imperial, commanding and fresh. Second one is just… magnificent, heartfelt and joyful without losing the gravity. I love Nicolas, he’s deep and innovative - and a super nice guy too.

One true story to show what a cool cat he is : my sister happen to own a pastry shop in a city south of france renowned for its summer music festival. One day, Nicolas showed up to buy a croissant or something. Not knowing who he was but always welcoming customers, she engaged conversation. As she is an opera fan, they soon talked music and he immediately proposed to put her on the guest list of the show he was about to give that same evening. She went there, thinking he would have forgotten. Not only did he actually put her on the list but he welcomed her and had a friendly chat after the show. Ain’t that sweet ?

Marvellous tone his cello ! just adore this interpretation of this great concerto ! it has such freshness, joyfulness, and dynamism.

[ADaBaker]

Saw him play this piece in Cologne and it was just as wonderful as you would imagine! He actually tuned his instrument while the orchestra was already playing the first movement. Watching this, I was reminded of how I never wanted the third movement to end.

[krispark]

I hadnt known his name since i saw him playing Walton Cello Concerto with Seoul Symphony Orchestras tonight in Seoul. He wasnt wearing shoes on the stage^^ (he was wearing black socks)

He seemed enjoy seeing korean fans and taking photos with them. He is warm-hearted.

I am searching his name on youtube^^

Nicholas, thank you for sharing wonderful music. Danke schon!!

내가 들은 하이든 중에 최고!!
니콜라 어린시절 독일에서 같이 공부했었는데
이렇게 성장했군요. 너무 멋져요~ 앞으로도 좋은 연주 많이 해주세요~

[shin-i-chikozima]

My emotion Ìs unfathomable and immeasurable depths

This Cello‘s sound Ìs out of this world

From
A corner of Tokyo where young leaves are fragrant

[musicadecamara]

[orfeo]

DIVINAMENTE DIABOLICO....Y DIABOLICAMENTE CLAVE ES UN ACIERTO ESPECTACULAR!!!

[manuelsateler]

Excelente, gracias por este regalo para el alma-

[jederundniemand]

…that cadence in the first movement!!!

[gatozarin]

oh yeah I usually miss the sound of the harpsichord on most renditions of this concert... the harpsichord gives the whole texture a kind of "crunch" (?) I don't know it just complements the texture so well!

[RockStarOscarStern]

Those Larsen Strings are designed to sound like Gut Strings but they're safer, more durable, & they take a fraction of the time to break in so they're great for both Baroque & Modern instruments alike.

[jclt]

incredible! This guy is a reata bien peluda! como dirían en mi pueblo.

[aguedasedan]

bellisimo.... nivel dios... amo este concierto y amo esta interpretacion..

[CelloCircle]
