[tian727]

I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH!!! AHHHHH!@H!@!@!@!@!!!

[BFL0W]

=) She's adorable !!! xoxo

[Agentjamaica]

Was the Bass player part planned because that was funny

[FireDuchomp]

lol She is playing like a little girl! 0:44

[liug2012]

the title of this piece and the description contradict

[StogeT]

She just looking around when she's playing :D

[bertocaster]

I thought she was about to start a fire.

[suchoi1958]

she's cute

[shadow271992]

lol when she starts playing "Oh I'm being awesome? didn't notice."

[hollywoodjuly82]

she is soooooooooooo cute. lol

[mcfriz123]

@unnoticedpasserby i was just pointing that out at the beginning. i luv her smile later on in the song. i just found it awesome how she was just kinda looking around and getting really passionate as she played this extremely complex piece of music uk?

[usmcbrat2]

Great music, and hilarious. Thanks for posting.

[snappytomdory]

To that random girl on Omegle who never gave me her name and told me to watch this, I love you!

[hoopstabr]

@snappytomdory You still use Omegle?

[snappytomdory]

@hoopstabr I do when I'm bored.

[mcfriz123]

she has no facial expression!!

[vlnvlaclogbaerhpno]

Poor bass players.....but at least the Germans finally learned how to joke. Good ol Han Na and her facial expressions - she is SO Korean :-D

[MrAnthonyBaxter]

2:27 "i have to fart. i have to fart. i have to fart. i have to fart. i have to fart. i just farted."

[KardashianVideos]

@MrAnthonyBaxter not funny.

[CookieCream911]

@MrAnthonyBaxter THAT WAS HILARIOUS AND WENT PERFECTLY WITH HER FACE!

[mcfriz123]

@CookieCream911 dude that is so not funny. she's just getting passionate with the music.

[kanumay]

Omg..amazing!!!

[randavidroid]

@2:34 "what the-" face

[marka10ant]

Brilliant- and not meant to be an emotional piece but a show-piece, which is what she does to perfection, including enjoying the joke.

[CDiazmvsc]

hahahaha so emotionless lol typical asian

[hietsefriets]

@CDiazmvsc are you blind? I'm totally inexperienced with the cello and even I can see that she IS the music, she doesn't just play it, it basically drips off her and her cello.

[CDiazmvsc]

@hietsefriets ok watch a yoyo ma,rostropovich,Mischa Maisky and compare it to her and you will see what i mean

[hietsefriets]

@CDiazmvsc I have watched them. And I still believe Han Na Chang expresses the utmost emotion into her playing. That might not be your opinion, but it is mine (:

[sumimimi0]

@CDiazmvsc can't you she she got emotion?? are you trying to be racist or something? sorry, that your eyes are blind and your ears

[bebelizy]

i like you han na chang.....you're fantastic

[TheVinicius72]

essa bostahhhhhh

[TheVinicius72]

essa bost

[TheWowmusicfan]

The Fledermaus part is just wonderfully implemented, but why oh why the bass player? Pick a Viola instead ^^

[youhodkovice]

Brilliant fun! How she is spooking tham in 0:47 etc.

[AbsoltheLoner]

Damn, I wish I could play my cello that quickly... I can barely keep up with eighth notes...

[uwsmrt]

her armpit, sexiest thing on earth

[notionridiculous]

I LOL'd

[30inventionman]

This is sad, I feel sorry for the bass

[lozmusic1]

I downloaded this onto my iPod.

[Aretala]

oh my god! she is freaking amazing!

[2haiztalented]

the real flight of the bumblebee song doesn't actually start until 0:27 or somewhere around that.

[u2todit4me]

she should play with yo-yo ma.

[MsComedyDoc]

I've played the cello seven years.

I mope for weeks after watching her :)

Go, female cellists! YEAH!

[MsDarkProdigy]

From 1:56 to 2:05, she almost looks as if she wants to say "Hey, THIS is how you play!" Awesome performance, though.

[deathgod6q3]

1:10

[jauenlee]

so cool~

[he4rt5]

she's got the prettiest smile..

[Nightshara51]

It looks like everything is in fast forward xD /jealous:)

[chouji08]

:O what shes like looking around and smiled to that person! i cant even look around i have to look at my fingers

[justingf15]

i like her face when she fist starts playing at :36 lol

[MissBlackNote]

@justingf15 yeah! shes like waaaaa?

[girthe]

Hahahaha her face :D she looks so suprised!

[yustov]

somehow... women playing the cello always excite me..........the music I mean....

[TheCuzisaidso]

it very amazing

BUt still its harder on a violin considering the leght of a violin figerboard compared to a cello finger board. I think Itzthak plays a version of this

[ekeen4]

@TheCuzisaidso It depends. Us cello players can say the length of the fingerboard is a disadvantage, but we use it to our advantage.

[maryspl]

>_>

She looks like she wants to smack the Buh-Jeebus outta the violinist! e____o I wonder if they will make a vid of that xD!!!

[ProgressiveBoink]

She's got some serious beef with one of those violinists to her right. xD

She keeps glaring over there.

[flybirdy12347]

Brilliant! I love that she makes eye contact with the other performers

[5619762]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOL

[carrycarterr]

ive playd the cello 4 years going on five and she and yo-yo ma are my biggest inspirations <3 :)

[TalGilMzk]

Damn, she's hot

And that was funny as hell

[pockets7744]

Her face is like totally zoned just stare her in the eyes while u watch like shes staring off into other dimensions

[BrotherVBrother]

She's hot

[AstrosBaseball17]

i want to know how she memorized this

[cutepossession]

waste of time

[Vampuricacid]

@cutepossession how is this a waste of time afer all the enregy put in playing this for thousands of people as a musician i find this offensive

[dmillionaire7]

Han Na Chang facial expressions @ :29 did she cream herself?, @ :31"this sh!t'bout togo DOWN @ :36 "Ah sh!t it's on now" @ :46 she like "i got dis shit here"

[TeroKinnunen]

Who's the conductor?

reminds of Ion Martin... Can it be him?

[20Beatz]

omg . <3 the best

[MrBlueBee444]

Don't get me wrong Han-na Chang is unbelievably talented, but is the reason she smiles innocently at the end b/c she missed the last note?

[pollypix123]

@MrBlueBee444 nah she played it :)

[YouveStolenMyEyes]

she is impossible. when will i play like this??

[Aetherius00]

Que divertido!!!

[zucchini2007]

@leahbirdxx Do you play this on the cello or violin? Is there any sheet music for this piece? I want to learn how to play it on the violin!

[zucchini2007]

It actually sounds like a swarm of bees!! They are all fine, excellent musicians!

[TheGameCrasher]

lol at her staring O.O XD

[ForFindingVideos]

She makes it look so easy.

[Empress0Helena]

She is looking for the bee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol!

[leahbirdxx]

i can play this :) actually not that hard, you just have to shift to the right places, make sure your tone is good.

[jvalverde]

did the bass had the right score? They always do the same!

... I think did this without noticing XDDDDDD

[phildofuturo12]

awesome joke xD

[salahuddinyusuf]

the freaking bees are goin to sting meeee!!!!

aaaaagh!

[RaiderEleven]

Fantastic performance by cello star Han-Na Chang and company with a little planned humor.

[Cellist70]

Tell me again about classical musicians not having a sense of humor. Love this lady.

[ncarter28]

DONT Make fun of her. Shes a great celloist. me myself is a celloist so dont!

and i also have a question. Is she korean?

SHE DOSE NOT HAVE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sumimimi0]

@ncarter28 yes. her name is 장한나, in korean. she is born in korea.

[cmandmc1991]

@ncarter28 it isnt celloist it us cellist

[wsidechris]

Put this on high resolution and crank it up, especially at 2:13!

[lawyang84]

I like the ge of her keeping eye contact with other. Keep it up Hannah!!

[chen480913]

很棒~的女大提琴家~

[fa985]

mirabile questo arrangiamento per violoncello

[GeorgeOfZala]

Well, that is the funniest arrangement I ever heard. Genial by all means.

[malerockdemon2]

2:32 looks like she has to shit insanly bad

[bionicle72]

SIGO DICiendo..que es genial!!!..... jajaaja me encanta como se expresa tocando..estan curiosa..:P

[bionicle72]

..SIGO DICiendo..que es genial!!!.....

[UncreativeUsername4]

incredible. she's looking around like she's playing mary had a little lamb. unbelievable talent!

[CowHoofOnAHotPlate]

more like the attack of the enraged bumblebee swarm on the vulnerable bear cubs that should have realised stealing honey from bees make bees angry.

[PB111627]

That is the best angry bee I have heard straight from the imagination and musically gifted brain of the special one!

[curlyfrys2]

very good she is so relaxed

[4EverMusicAddict]

W.O.W!! She makes it look So Easy!!!! Wonderful musician! Bravo!

[Thinkcrazy]

ahahaha go esko!

[neutral4]

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!

[dottiedal281]

She is so good and full of talent that I feel scared!

[kagurathemonkey]

XD The bassist played "Die Fledermaus" instead! Wrong animal. XD That has to be the best geeky joke ever.

[madmanadam1]

well spotted Heheh XD

My friend did that something similar t, they were playing a millitary peice and there was a bit that had a similar sound as "Ba ramba " so he played that in the middle of it..... The people around him lol'd, The conducter noticed but he didnt give a damn xD

[celloprof]

@kagurathemonkey Yeah, a joke! A JOKE!!! Like he would actually make that mistake.

[pockets7744]

@kagurathemonkey BASSISTS FTW!!

[kagurathemonkey]

@pockets7744 Agreed! Lower strings rock! I'm a cellist. :D

[TheDaniel6262]

@kagurathemonkey press 9 and look at her face lol

[TheCharon77]

@kagurathemonkey Was that intended as a joke or really a mistake? O_o

[kagurathemonkey]

@TheCharon77 It was just a joke. Very much intentional. Die Fiedermaus is a piece by Strauss that translates to "The Bat."

The bassist switches into Die Fiedermaus so the conductor stops the orchestra to tell him "not a bat... a bee!"

[nonamesleftatall1]

The bass solo was on purpose. Look they dont look flustered at all after it. The crowd laughs. the conductors hand motions are obviously on purpose.

[Einkilink]

Didn't like... she is extremely good, but... is really necessary to move the head that much, mmm I think that's kind of mmm insulting, it was like if she didn't care, rude I think...

[nonamesleftatall1]

Please...rude...she is venting her emotion. How is she rude! She smiles at her ensemble!!! Rude? Your just jealous.

[Einkilink]

Ok, not rude, just insulting (TO ME) the way she is looking around, not to the public, not to her ensemble. Jelaous? nope, I don't play cello, anyway she is extremely good playing it (just as I said at the previous comment...), I just think that the fact I mention is insulting.

[nonamesleftatall1]

I understand you think its insulting. Im just trying to see your logic behind it.

[grosdaraz]

@Einkilink You must be the biggest pussy on youtube. I've seen tons of retarded comments on this site, but yours is right up there.

[nathan87]

lots of soloists do this, yo yo ma does it, I don't like it but I'm sure they don't mean any harm. Anyway, despite being a reasonable effort I don't think she's playing cleanly enough to smile like the person who dropped by to show members of the berlin phil how it's done.

[Einkilink]

Yes, you're right, soloists do that, I don't like it neither, at least not on this woman =P.

[orchdork775]

that part with the bassist is hilarious :)

[speedofdark54]

if i were the cellist, i'de be kind of pissed.

[ShredRedemption]

ok people. The bassist plays that on purpose! We are talking about professionals here, that are with side of Ms. Chang! Of course that is part of this interpretation, otherwise why would so many of them go to resting their instruments and smiling?

[ShredRedemption]

Heck even the viola in the center scoots over at 1:21!!!

[mizesama0902]

AWESOME!!!!

[awesomerandomgirl23]

she is amazing! her playing seems so effortless!

[GreyToast101]

this blows my mind!!!,she's an amazing cellist

[itosikyle]

i think it was on purpose because i noticed in the beginning that he was playing up to tempo and was doing his part perfectly fine. He was playing fast, just like everyone else.

[EMistheSHEEPLADY]

amazing! she is pretty awesome! one day ill play like that :P

[1ccount]

does the bass even play that part in die fledermaus?!?

[1ccount]

ha the conductor even shows: "not a bat, a bee!"

[jyl3clover]

Brilliant! I was clapping at the end of this clip. I enjoyed it very much. Thank you for the clip.

[triviumlambofgod]

what the shit was the bassist doing

[jyl3clover]

I believe that was intentional. To me, it seems like they made a little twist to make the audience laugh.

[ShredRedemption]

It is a joke. They had planned that.

[kanye1204]

being a bass player...

[sumimimi0]

she is not looking the cello and playing so fast

[donutbelly123]

Dang! wut in the world?! I can't even play like that! thats amazing ive been playing for 13 years! thats pretty impressive!

[goss525]

its easy to play, just start off slow and work your way up. I had to use this method when learning Elgar's Cello Concerto no 3 in E minor.

[Bullz4eva93]

I saw her live play Shoskatovich's Second Cello Concerto, it was fantastic! Any I may sound Naive, but was the conductor actually stopping to correct him?

[abcdnike]

it was just a joke =)

[friendglish]

She is so lovely!!! =)

[bi316]

sweet jesus!!! iv bn playing for nine years... i wish i cud do that

[celloprof]

That was different. I thought she was going to play it all the way through, but I guess not.

[crazycellist93]

WOW, I wonder if she had or has the same issues with her back that Yo yo Ma had, where he had to get his back "stretched out" because he hunched over so much in thumb position.

[inuyashasgrlfriend]

Being a Cellist myself i must say HOLY CRAP! This girl has amazing talent. If I were anywhere near as good as she is then, wow, now in a fit of jealos rage i will leave. My best wishes to a fellow Cellist. =]

[XchopchopX]

ohhh it does sound like bee!!

[Legallybrunette1234]

lol!!!!!

[wsidechris]

Flawless! When they hit 2:13 (and boy do they hit it), I wish it would go on forever.

[worldcitizen08]

Thanxs Nikolaos333

The best yet.

[tiantnl]

i feel itchy at the beginning

[zaokoyechatma]

벌이 윙윙 거리다 더 이상의 항공편 운항에있습니다.

[HydroxicAcidBoy]

Bloody marvelous.

[sumimimi0]

that is the skill not looking down at one's own cello. no wonder she is so famous and one of the best celloist

[plainme1231]

i love how she never really looks down at her cello. as if she's listening to herself playing. does that even make sense? she's always looking at the other musicians and coordinating with them and smiling.

[cipher0413]

haha.. they have quite a sense of humour. LOL.!!!

[lalobaloo]

haha that was awesome! Love it.

[chrononumber001]

-= she looks so happy, cute & kind..^^

[SkJkProductions]

She's Korean right? Anyways she is really good!!!!!

[Chri0730]

Yes she's Korean who made me learn cello

lol!!!

[malink77]

WOW SO GOOD!NICE TUCH !!!

[cellist123288]

Again, like CrazyCellist92 and mysjo said, the bass didn't mess up.

The piece was awesome of course, and Han Na Chang did amazing!!!!!!!!!!

[zucchini2007]

He messed up intentionally, to provide a little comedy relief for the audience. A musician of his caliber would never make a mistake like that.

[NodameBeethovenVirus]

she's looks so happy

wanna play this song :))

[zucchini2007]

It really sounds like a swarm of bees, I love it. LOL.

[UncleJesse1]

nice arrangement!

[CrazyCellist92]

i can't believe that people really think that the bass player really messed up. he started to play 'der fledermaus' which means 'the bat' and the joke is that the bass player's got the wrong animal/insect.

[yangbass]

more like the t flying of spooky bee

[violin1cello710]

yeah the beggining is so cool she is my cello inspiration

[zucchini2007]

LOL!!

[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic!

[magdelene84]

this is pretty much as a variation theme..

I love the Soloist on the cello, she's brilliant
