Maya beiser plays the cello She is truly a musical genius; master of the musical instrument and in love with the music she so beautifully and elegantly performs. Do not read the comments when you see her on youtube because some percieve this as a sexual thing when it is really the essence of her soul portrayed by the sound of her musical device. other words, she's awesome!!

[Raven9619]

@aichains67 but you have to admit...her playing "is" sexy!. It's not "sexual" it's "Sensual"! there's a distinct difference and you can tell that she truly enjoys to play and does so brilliantly.

Nice girl, Glad you could feel the power... the mighty Zeppelin rolled through your head and you embrased it, very nice. Rock on girl ;)

Excellent ! Very greate ! This recovery is successful and wonderful. it is both sensual and full of emotions. The sound of the cello is well suited to the legendary Kashmir. Congratulations Maya!

[EyeLean5280]

@aichains67 - and why do you object to the idea that sexuality might have some place in her soul?

Que dominio del instrumento! Qué pasion musical al interpretar una partitura tan rota como Kashmir de Led Zeppelin! Mis mas grandes respetos para tan virtuosa ejecutante! Viva Maya!
