Get Sucked Into 2Cellos’ Melodic Vortex

About a month ago, I indicated in this blog that the cello is one of my most favorite musical instruments.  This post further proves why I love the sexy looking cello.

Only did I recently discovered that there is a magnificent duo who performs music covers of cool mainstream songs using the cello.  They are the Croatian cellists Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, together known as 2Cellos.

Aside from playing magnificent music that ranges from smooth classical to mainstream pop to heavy acid metal, what is so extra cool about the 2Cellos is their stage presence.  Their playing the cello is so infectious and electrifying. Their intense facial expressions, head-banging and feet-stomping are all incredibly virtuosic.  Their playing is so passionate you could at times hear their deep breathing and actually see how the hair of their bows gets so torn. Moreover, it doesn’t hurt that both looks adorable.

Now you listen to these and get sucked into some melodic vortex!

Here’s a rare mash-up of classical tune mixed with heavy metal…

Here’s the eccentric yet enjoyable routine…

Here’s their latest, something stylish and sophisticated…

Ang galing! Shet na malagket!

Cool Cello Sound: Start A War Cover By Dom La Nena

Aside from learning how to ride a bicycle, my other childhood frustration was learning to play a musical instrument.  If I be given a choice the two musical instruments that I would love to learn would be the piano and the cello.

Though it’s impossible to carry around, I chose the piano, because of its versatility.  For me it’s the all around instrument.  There have been a lot of magnificent songs and great musical masterpieces that were composed using the piano.

On the other hand, I chose the cello not for anything else but its aesthetics.  Since I am more of a visual person, I like the cello because it looks so classy and sophisticated.  However, I actually have yet to know a hit song or music that originated from exclusively using the sound of the cello.
