I'm not that into chamber music or strings by themselves, but I absolutely love what a string section can add to a production.

Cellos have a gorgeous sound.

I knew a wonderful cello player a while back named Conrad. He played a standard cello beautifully but also had an electric one that he hooked up to effects and loops, etc.

I'm a vocalist (and guitarist). One time, I was asked to sing Stand By Me by Ben E. King. I had a good electric bass player. Conrad agreed to do the strings part on cello. I had my wife do the guiro. It was bare bones without extra percussion, back ground vocals or a full string section, but Conrad created the perfect string part. It was amazing. The thing is, that song is not that song without the string section.
OMG, it turned out SO good! People were freaking crying.

Most modern classical is 1800's rips attempts. But game music tends to pull off classical quite well.

Sounds very nice!

[pillingsadness]

Sonorous you're back on the site! What happened to you?
Yes, Dvorak's Cello Concerto is perhaps the most beloved work for cello and orchestra. It is an astounding piece.

[Asker]

Oh I took a little break. I'm not sure if I'll be as active on here again though. It could be inconsistent & highly dependant on my mood & daily goals. 🤔

But thanks for the recommendation, I really like this one!

Dayum! I actually am. That audio quality surprised me. He must have dubbed it.

[Passion_Devil]

🤩 sweet! You were pleased!

[Asker]

that word makes me uncomfortable 👄

Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture has several passages with exposed cello parts. Same is true for Mussorgsky's Pictures At An Exhibition.

[Levin]

Of course, the king of cello music, Elgar's Cello Concerto:

[Asker]

Not a fan but thanks for the recommendation!

[J2ohhhhh]

You cannot talk about cello without talking about JSB. Yo-Yo Ma has great interpretation of his work. And there's a YouTube channel called 2cellos, they play all sort of music rearranged to cello.

[Asker]

Have any stand out favorites?

[J2ohhhhh]

I like Vivaldi - storm cello arrangement of 2cellos. And Yo-Yo Ma tiny desk concert, but other than those I'm not that much of a fan of cellos.

[Asker]

Wow that one is nice, thanks

[J2ohhhhh]

Glad you enjoyed

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Does it matter where it came from? Of no, then here's what I got.

[OddBeMe]

Not sure if I sent you this before honestly. I just really enjoy this song and her cello.

[Asker]

Thanks, I love her playing, but I think it just don't like the way the cello was recorded & mixed. I'm kinda like the audiophiles when it comes to quality.

[Asker]

Thanks! I really like the Saint-Saëns one

[ArrowheadSW]

There is a CD out called "Cello Submarine", and it is about a dozen Beatles songs performed with an orchestra of cellos. It is awesome.

[NathanDavis]

I do like chamber music...

[NYlatefun]

There’s an album by Yo-Yo Ma named : Bach - The Cello Suites and it’s so delightful.

[Asker]

Funnily enough, I'm not a fan of the way he played in the album. But I do love some of the pieces though.

[NYlatefun]

Interesting, you’re obviously more advanced than me, do you have a better recommendation for those Bach suites?

[Asker]

Oh nah, I wouldn't consider myself advanced. But I am very picky with music though. I prefer the peter gregson arrangements:

Have you heard of 2Cellos?

[Asker]

Oh yeah, have any favorites of theirs?

[erandal]

Awesome music and damn they are so good looking too. "The Trooper" all the way for me but I'm an Iron Maiden fan.

[Jamie05rhs]

That was pretty cool, yo.
I felt like there was a lot of creativity put into that composition.

[Asker]

Which one?

[Jamie05rhs]

Oh. The first one.

Sorry; I didn't know there was a second. I didn't see the update.

[Jamie05rhs]

Okay. The second one was cool, too. :)

[Asker]
