Steven Sharp Nelson - Tender Mercies with the Lyceum Music Festival Orchestra 7/30/11

I love to watch how passionate he is when he plays. That is the one reason why I have always loved to watch people play an instrument. I love to see that passion as if they were right there in the notes makeing each note played visable to the listener. This is why I never stopped loving music. I still love to watch my husband play the violin and the bass when he gets the chance to cause I see that passion he shows just as Steven shows.

something about playing a string instrument lends itself to *epicface*... try looking so cool while playing a trumpet, I dare ya.

I myself am a Cello player and have been for a 2 years. I jumped from only taking Orchestra I to taking Orchestra III (from Middle school to highschool). My dream is to go to college and study to be a professional cellist and play in a symphony orchestra. I love the PianoGuys, i watched all of their videos and subscribed and just Seeing Steven play in every one of those videos just inspires me to take extra measures to improve on my performance and help me reach my dream. Thank You so much!!!!!

sería genial ver a este gran cellista en un concierto en Chile específicamente en el sur, en la décima región de los lagos ciudad de Frutillar, en el evento reconocido mundialmente como "SEMANAS MUSICALES DE FRUTILLAR" que se realiza en las fechas entre 27 de enero y 5 de febrero de cada año.

apuesto que sería un gran éxito...!!! te esperamos

[BeredZed]

I want to see more from this concert :-(

[Ilderfant]

What a great performance! This is the kind of passion for music that inspired me to pick up an instrument again. I'm a former bass player, but I'm having my first cello lesson later today. I'm very excited. :)

[ojarazca]

Jamas he visto a un artista disfrutar tanto lo que hace como a este hermoso hombre, el y su cello son uno solo.

[BlueDarkFalcon]

Thank you for this ...

Musik zum schließen der Augen und genießen der Leidenschaft mit der sie gespielt wird. Einfach wundervoll…

[randomerFTW]

That viola player... chewing gum... O_o

[XxSKRIllEXxXF4NXx]

@randomerFTW i said the same thing! so unprofessional X.X

[XBandRoxX]

I have had a lot of set backs musically. Sometimes it was hard to practice knowing critics and instructors were never going to base my performance on my attitude towards music, but rather how I ranked with my peers. When I auditioned for university, I was told I had no future in music. It broke my heart. Watching Steven play reminded me how much music means to me and helped me regain confidence. His passion brought me back to music. I start my music degree in two days. Thank you Steven.

[BetsysView]

@XBandRoxX Thank you for this comment. Steven said it means a lot to him. 

[XBandRoxX]

@BetsysView I am so happy to hear that. He deserves to know how much his love for music is shared and appreciated.

[BetsysView]

@XBandRoxX If you haven't seen this yet, go to pianoguys dot (com) to hear a bit from Steven and Jon... they're pretty cool guys! :-)

[XBandRoxX]

@BetsysView Thank you very much. :D

[nhutranquynh]

You have to put yourself in the right mood to see why he had that passion when playing this music, and how he was so touched.

[fluxvital]

Yeah, there a true musician ;)

[Tronkahuesos]

Tanto en Piano Guy's como en solitario Steven es un maestro del Chelo, alucinante.

[tvonski123]

Stephen Sharp Nelson truly brings life to the Cello. Amazing work, Stephen!

[brycepatties]

This sounds a lot like this symphony "Africa".

[canitbechristine]

@brycepatties You're right but that's because it's an excerpt from "Africa".

[ScreamOfLolipop]

I've got bumps on my arms, and a slighlty nie tingeling trough my spine... I truly love this, the feeling in the music is beautiful.

[seikei7248]

Does anyone have a tissue? All inspiring!

[TheGodivaCat]

@lejgi Ah, finally! I've been all but stalking his website for all this time. Thank you

[trigodras]

He Gets Into Emotion With The Song...

Some Cellist Plays Sad Songs With A Smiley Face And Plays A Happy Song With A Frown

I Know That Because My Juniors Did That Very Often...

[rSDGermany]

Wenn jeder die Sprache der Musik sprechen würde, dann wäre die Welt eine andere.

[RythMinow]

Nice!

just wish the audio quality was better :)

[MarkusNemesis]

I've got to say. I have a thing for the girl in the left of the shot. The one who keeps looking at Steven.

[Yousei85]

Just seeing his passion made me burst into tears, music doesn't get much better than this.

[MastermindStudios1]

Just spectacular, Steven!!

[TheGodivaCat]

And if I wanted the sheet music I'd have to...?

[scottyburd]
