  • This is one woman doing what usually takes 50 people in an orchestra. I can't believe how incredible this is

  • I enjoyed the music. I can't believe that it's just one person who's playing all those instruments. I have the utmost respect for that lady's skill

  • TED, innovation for its own sake is not always for the best.
