The Swan (from Carnival of the Animals)

[intormentis]

That was beautiful. I'm working on this piece but it's going to take me a while. you're a real inspiration.

[M8T12B93]

how long have you been playing the cello? You're really doing well!

[kittehkillsall]

Wow... this is spellbinding. Thumbs up if you agree!

[uupinkie]

@kittehkillsall Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :-)

[kittehkillsall]

@uupinkie I'm only eleven, but I tried playing The Swan. Epic fail. I look to you as my inspiration!

[kittehkillsall]

@kittehkillsall I play cello and I'm trying to do this. I'm failing. You're my inspiration to keep going! I'm only eleven, anyway. I love the cello!

[LaurentziuRo]

Wonderful interpretation !

[HelenaKoonings]

Yes, yes, yes. Too bad the sound's weird :(

[jcsrealty]

Great job! Karen, your so pretty! Wish I could know you.....

[hopeloersch]

Wonderful! The best I have heard yet from a young cellist. I think you are even better than Mischa Maisky!

[gerardooo7]

really nice... just a comment... the last cello note (g) is overextended... the cello ends some seconds before the piano.. congratulations

[snootzie78]

nice

[StellaDuBois]

oh wow, you really feel it, dont you? too bad that the quality of the video isnt that good

[LozzaCullen]

nice expression in the piece- the sound quality couldve been better but nice job

[mikeson1111112]

i like the video where she picks her nose better!

[DerekG8383]

Nice work! I wish the sound quality was a better recording because you can tell that it is beautiful, but it sounds muffled or I am hearing "pink noise"

[chobiv7]

beautiful!! but the quality of the sound isn't so good. but you're playing is!

umm..what kind of cello are you playing on?

[natsumeiluvu]

omg, so beautiful~ i even have tears in my eyes.. (just kidding!) anyway, i love it! makes me wana play cello.

[Enix5548]

Holy crap this is very good! I play like you kind of but my sound I try to fluctuate a little for more dynamics. Nice job.

[Xycondetsu]

You have such elegant vibrato. Great work.

[J4lt4]

Really great performance! The only pity is that the quality of this record isn't higher.

[jesusfreak951321]

absolutely wonderful. bravo!

[3maalsche]

I loved the way you played the swann so much, that I practised along side the recording of you playing it on this site. It's one of my exam pieces, and you've helped a great deal!

[Fordwh44]

wow beautiful tone and expression..its sad that the recording is crackly and what not but this is one of my favorite renditions up here, great job.

[egberts68]

Very beautifully done. It is a famous piece I have heard often before, but still you made it special.

Please share more of your talent. The ay you perform always makes me feel good.

[TheBlackSkittle182]

i have to play this on my alto saxophone and it is so hard!

you are really good though!

[klaasjoon]

that was very nice indeed. i think love the way you made the piece sound. shame on bad recording kwalitie although the reverb of the room sounds very nice.

[kr4m]

Ohhh I always love the behind the scenes look at the raw talent, before they add in all the special effects with the green screen and stuff.

[dutchapprentice]

who is that cellist? superb

[SajoieDeVie]

Very Good! It sounds great!

[stsulpice]

Awesome! Great cellist! This is not my favorite cello piece, but this performance is excellent! Thank you for sharing your talent!!!
