Welcome to the Jungle – On Cellos
Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser can play cello. Seriously.
Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser are uncommonly talented and skilled classical musicians having performed before sold out audiences at London’s Wigmore Hall, Royal Albert Hall, South Bank Centre and Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw – but hey, that’s not going to stop them from pulling out the carbon fibre and graphite cellos to give a little street performance now is it?
Having played two private concerts for Prince Charles at Buckingham and St James‘s Palace plus over 30 awards in national and international competitions, you might expect these amazingly talented young men to be a little ‘Jaded’, but nothing could be further from the truth…
This is what I want to focus on this week: “Passion” – Passion for life, passion for performance, passion for just doing what you love to do… Here you’ve got two of the most accomplished classical musicians in the world, playing their own arrangement of Guns and Roses “Welcome to the Jungle” – and it’s awesome, the question is “Why?”…
Sure it’s fantastic, and the video is great, and their bound to sell a boatload of them, but there’s something deeper here that I want to shine the light on: “They do this without the camera’s…” They just go play, parks, busstops, subways, whatever, whereever, whenever… They just go play, and you can hear that in every stroke of their rapidly shredding bows…
This week, we’re going to be focusing on “Playing with Passion” and Luka and Stjepan are going to be our reference standard… For more on them, or to get their album visit: http://www.2cellos.com/
