DAMN. kid can rip 10 times harder than i can.

what i can't forgive however is that cut in the song that occurs at 4:40. I don't care WHAT time constraints someone has, that change that took place in the song was just unforgivable to my ears.

Besides that though, this kid is basically a prodigy, awesome playing!

[Aldort]

@glowingdevil Read other comments. I already clarifited that the cuts were not Oliver's choice.

It was the conductor's, for shortage of time in the program.

I think, if somebody wants to play a cello concerto in 11yo, have to learn the whole concert, not only the fast parts. He plays a good voice, and so clearly, but its terrible, that he plays only the 1. and the 3. mouvement. The peace have a 2. beautiful part!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aldort]

@paronka90 Oliver played the full concerto, all three movements. In this performance, unfortunately, the conductor has cut a few sections due to time limitations.

[andreacello]

What kind of instrument is that? Is he playing a 4/4 already? What luthier?

[Aldort]

Oliver is playing here a simple half cello. He is a small child playing a small cello.

when I was 11 I was watching cartoons.

god, what a wasted childhood....

[ZaneKaminski]

I think he means his own childhood was wasted.

[ojl97]

hes very talented, but no emotion was put in to it. He has a very bright future if i do say so myself

[0felex01]

He's taking some time to sit on his chair.

[boritopies]

I'm 11 and i' just starting to learn this piece!!!

[NaomiAldort]

He had a wonderful childhood and did not practice very much. He was home schooled and played most of the day with siblings and friends. Music was

his passion, his choice and with his talent he didn't need much practice.

i don't know if this baby,now he's a boy,had a normal childhood....maybe he's a genius but i think he studied many hours a day...i don't agree with the "enfant prodige"...let him play and have fun with the other children...i hope he did...

[Rickyfffff]

37 people only watched until 1:36

[posh1961]

i would of taken that screaming kid away for ice cream so that we could hear the performance!!!!!!!!!!!

[NaomiAldort]

Oliver is not so little any more. He is 17. Currently in Tanglewood and going to Curtis in the fall. Check his website for more videos on cello, piano and conducting.

11!?!?!? I am learning this right now and i am 16 :(

Anyways, go little kids!

@FelipeValen You make that sound soo funny. Thats one of the reasons why its a joke for kids like him to join Julliard when they are older. Why would you need to when you are that good... when you have beed practicing that long, for that many years and hours a day. lol XD
