  • Spectacular. Bravo!

  • I performed this when I was 13. Great piece but he was too fast.

  • @FractalBob At the age your daughter was playing Tarentella, Demaine was performing Rococo Theme in front of orchestras.

    But it is still up to opinion- I respect that. ^^ However, I thought it was a bit of a stretch when you talked about your 11 year old daughter being better than a professional.

  • I listened to this performance again and my opinion has not changed. The tarantella is a fast dance, but the way Mr. deMaine played it, it was undanceable, just WAY too fast. Also, perhaps because of the extreme speed, the performance lacked the dynamics that would make it interesting. I have to say that my 11 year-old daughter's playing of the piece is far more exciting, if less perfectly played.

  • @FractalBob are you stupid? Did you see the expression physically he gave???? and he can play it fast and it sounds almost perfect. the notes aren't slurred and the shifts are amazing. that was very fast, but he can play with no problem that way, while on Tv.

  • Way too fast and played without much feeling, IMHO. If it were a race, he'd win.

  • Hey, that's a great act!

  • BEYOND CAPTIVATING!

    Not only an EXTRAORDINARY cellist but an AMAZING human being! He plays with such passion and conviction!

    A performance that leaves one wishing for more. Nothing but

    S U P E R LA T I V E S!

    Counting the days till I get the honor to sit in your audiece--in 3 more 'sleeps!' :-)
