2CELLOS - Benedictus (by Karl Jenkins) [LIVE at Arena Zagreb] 

My wife passed away almost 6 months ago she listened to Hauser til the night she died. I will carry on the tradition in her memory, Thanks.

We played this at our daughters funeral 2 weeks ago. She passed aged just 30 years old and the music made me feel like she was being welcomed into heaven.

Every night I pour a glass of wine and listen/watch these incredibly talented men play for me. I was a cellist for many years and heard so many gifted musicians, but nothing approaches the feelings evoked by them. I wish I could have seen them in concert before they stopped touring, but I will settle for the Heaven I experience each evening here with my little dog in beautiful Mexico. ❤

My Dad passed away 2 wks ago & this was played at his funeral. Magnificent music for a magnificent man.

Such passion, joy, and love. When my husband became very ill, I had to set aside my cello. My mentor, best friend, the love of my life passed in February 2020. After watching and listening to these incredible souls play, I have started playing cello again. I am 81 years young. Wonder if I can take my cello to Heaven with me to play for my husband again..

Today my mom passed away..90 years young..an amazing woman. I'm listening to this to comfort my soul. I love you Mom.

This is one of the most beautiful and emotional pieces of music I have ever listened to. For me, it is two people who love each other saying goodbye. I can't listen to it without tears.

This song touches my soul so deeply. I played it a lot after my sister passed in September, it gave me great comfort.

This should have received a standing ovation. These two didn't just play this so beautifully, they actually became the music itself. So magical, so Heavenly, so profoundly moving. Praise God!!!!!

My last remaining sibling passed away Dec 11th 2021. He was almost 90yrs. This cello music is a gift of God to me. Thank you.

OMG, this tune has a power like no other, it's how I describe to people how I feel . also I played this loud on my car stereo at the beach yesterday as the sun went over the horizon and it put around 500-1000 people into an unrehused silence, the most beautiful and magical thing IV ever witnessed music do. a true masterpiece.

Let's all thank Mr Jenkins for this truly beautiful piece.

Let's all forget about Corona Virus and just listen to this kind of music fellow humans. Breathtaking. Straight from heaven....

I'am 81 years old and thank the Lord for giving me the opportunity to spend time listening to Hauser perform. It is like one has just died, gone to Heaven and the Angels are playing for us.

The passion with which they play their instruments is what makes this so beautiful. I love this version, it always moves me to tears. They feed off of and guide each other so wonderfully, that this is the end result. Its almost like the cello's are an extension of themselves. True musicians. They deserve massive audiences like this because they produce elation. ❤

There is not a lot to say about this performance that hasn't been said. It was played by both of you like it was the most holiest piece of music ever written to worship God. Absolutely magnificent and feelings abound. Bravo to both of you !!!

My sister loved this so much, she requested it be played at her funeral. Her dying wish was granted. Rest in peace Terry. I love you.

Reading all these comments, especially of those passed or passing brought me to tears as they embraced this music for its depth of love and support to all. Many thanks for this interpretation of God's peace for the world in turmoil.

No matter this was played nine years ago, it still reaches into the depths of my soul and brings me to tears. The richness is hauntingly angelical.

Wenn man die zu Herzen gehende Schönheit dieser Musik hört ist man zutiefst dankbar, dass es Menschen gibt, die die wunderbare Fähigkeit haben, anderen durch ihr Wirken soviel Gutes und Schönes zu schenken - besonders angesichts des Bösen und der Menschenverachtung die unsre Welt aktuell immer dunkler macht, weil einige wenige, die schon mehr als alles haben, ihren Mitmenschen auch noch das wenige nehmen wollen, das diese haben ...koste es was es wolle

I played this song over and over to my mom when she went into a coma after fighting pancreatic cancer for a few months. I hope this song brought her beautiful dreams.

One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard. And these two gentlemen played and expressed its emotion brilliantly!

Stjepan and Luka you play together so beautifully you are so in sync with each other. This is just one of those pieces of music that never looses it's impact. These two cellists have played this piece with such passion and sensitivity that not only does it calm the mind, stills the heart but also feeds the very soul. Thank you to two outstanding musicians.

Comforting. Four years ago today, my wife passed. Listening to this makes my day a bit better with good memories.

I am depressed because I m single mum of three kids one of them disabled and these two handsome and mostlt talented guys lift my soul when I listen to them

My beloved husband of 49 years passed away due to cardiac arrest 3 years ago, with me one second, gone the next. Our son messaged me last night saying " Mom, I think you need to listen to this". Oh my, I cannot express how this beautiful song, music touches my soul, my heart. Thank-you and God bless you for sharing your gift.

OMG. Oh my God. Just brought me to tears....just pierced my heart...your gift of this music...broke through these massive walls surrounding my heart....it resonated to the very core of my soul....a total and blind unconditional acceptance of this message of music. I'm calm now...at peace....still in tears...but total peace. What power! What gifts! OMG. Thank you. Scott Hepper Springfield Missouri USA. From the heart..... From the heartland.... Brilliance!

Just saw them in Concord California a week ago. They started their concert with this song. It was just beautiful I could do nothing but cry and enjoy such a Beautiful piece

I have a profoundly disabled relative, unable to speak, see and fed by tube. He is a teenager and comes to life when he hears this music. He loves it!

I'm choosing this for my beloved John's tribute to his life. He died of Covid19 on the 9th of this month Feb 2021 It's the most fitting music for such a great man of love, integrity and everything honourable.

The two greatest cellist, playing the most solemn and magnificent music with so much feelings and emotions of love the two greatest cellist my favorites the best in the world 🌎 I feel so blessed to listen to you play thank you

Music is the universal soul soothing language for me. This is calming me, warming my heart, taking all my fears away, the list goes on. I’m so thankful and grateful to listen to this arrangement and all the gifted people involved in its delivery. I thank you

How anyone can 'dislike' something so ethereal and wonderful as this is beyond me. Beautiful. How can heaven sound any better?

If I can't have this played at my funeral, I ain't dying!

Benedictus et Gladiator sont sans égal les concerts de toute Beauté magnifiquement bien interprètes par Stjepan et Luka. Vous êtes Extraordinaires !

Such a masterful rendition of one of greatest pieces ever written.

I lost my wife Barbara just over three weeks ago to cancer. She loved this piece of music, but used to tell me off for playing it too loudly. How I wish she was here, now that I can play it as loudly as I like. Stay safe all

Today.... More than ever.. We need your music!!!.. Thankyou 2 Cellos. 🌹🌹🌹

Это хочется слушать бесконечно, подобно пению ангелов, наполняются лёгкие воздухом и дышится легко и таешь от божественной мелодии ! Благодарю за пережитые чувства!

There are so many things wrong with this world we live in. So often there appears to be no hope, only despair for the future. BUT when you hear music such as this you know there is always hope, always beauty.

These two make glorious music together. I never tire of it. I listen morning, noon and night. It is outstanding and so are the artists. LOVE!

Когда меня покидает Внутреннее Спокойствие и Вера в Победу ДОБРА, я обращаюсь к этой МУЗЫКЕ и напитываюсь ее Высокой Силой. БЛАГОДАРЮ

I have the happiest smile 😁 but the saddest heart 💔 at the same time when i listen to this! Beautiful!!!!! 🥰😔💔😔🥰

I am a musician and have always loved the sound of the cello. It speaks to the soul and these guys are just magnificent. If this is what heaven will be like, I understand why it is perfect

This piece and the way these men played it is indescribable by the human tongue... Truly Magical

Степан и Лука, фантастическая слаженность в игре. Как будь-то один человек играет, а не два. Такое глубокое проникновение, понимание в тканьпроизведения 🌹🌹🌹🧡❤️

I've been listening to your music for almost 10 years, I just want to say thank you. You deserve the best for all your effort thank you 🎻❤️♥️♥️

I have NO WORDS TO SAY HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS IS😢❤️🥰❤️

Karl Jenkin's "The Armed Man" A Mass For Peace: Benedictus" is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. This is a staggeringly beautiful performance of it. Thank you for posting.

When you have a face like that, with a talent like that and hopefully a personality just the same...WHAT A COMBO...❤❤❤❤❤❤

It is indeed one of the most beautiful melodies ever composed. Thankyou

This music is transcendental. These young men are genius.

This was played at my Fathers memorial service last month. I miss you dad. I love you.

My favorite!! I’m feeling very stressed with life in general and I turn this on and put my hands in what I think are position and pretend I’m Hauser playing with such precision!! Ahhh, so relaxed. Love you guys!! Greetings from Texas USA 🇺🇸

Benedictus is one of the most haunting and moving pieces in modern classical music. This version speaks to the soul. Thanks for uploading this video.

Amazingly beautiful, thank you Karl Jenkins for composing this piece of music, 2 cellos brought it out incredibly beautiful, they touch my heart so deeply, Peace be unto thee.

One of life's luxurious gifts is time...time to pray, talk, listen, love, forgive, discover and dream. May you luka and stjepan enjoy God's gift of time. I enjoy your wonderful music.Thank you much!

A hauntingly somber yet hopeful elegance. This piece leads up a stairway to the metaphysical.

I've been listening to this wonderful music for a whole week now and I'm meeting God in the depths of my soul, thank you very much for God's gift

Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hause are the reason that I can not stop listening to the cello. I have never been an avid listener of classical music until now. Simply amazing.

This has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written and performed could not have been played better, this has given me goose bumps and made me cry tears with all sorts of emotions this really tugs at the heart strings, music has the power to reduce a grown man to reflect upon his life and to recall lost friends and loved ones. Just stunning outstanding perfrormance and tthank you to its creator Karl Jenkins thank you

A zene hatalma óriási. Felül emelkedik minden emberi gyarlóságon.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👍

I always seek peaceful transition to internity.

HOW can 2.7 people unlike this ?. As a 71 y'r old hairy assed biker this moved me to tears.

This must be what peace in the world sounds like.

How utterly beautiful music and nobody in the world can do it better than these two !!! Extraordinary!🥰🥰🥰

Merci messieurs, c'est si beau, que j'ai le sentiment de flotter parmi les étoiles. ❤️

Just might be the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

This piece of music will be played at the end of my life here in this suffocating world,to then go on to a place were nobody has any suffering. Music like this one piece makes life here more bearable.

We buried my father just 3 days ago and I have been listening to this to try and get some comfort. I miss him so much already and cant believe he is gone

Это можно слушать бесконечно! Как и смотреть на вас- это всегда удовольствие. Видеть ваши одухотворённые лица .

this is no longer music - this is an emotional journey

I want to share how God literally touched me through this piece of music. 3 years ago I was discovered with acute myeloid leukaemia. It is a severe disease, but it was through suffering that God addressed me, and I referred to His love. A few weeks ago I had a stem-cell transplant, still in hospital, and I fully trusted my life to God, without knowing if I'm going to live after very hard chemo therapy and transplantation. I want to assure you that He is loyal and loves us insane. One night in the hospital I was very, very bad. I could only feel my haggard body. I put on my oxygen to make it a little easier to breathe. I couldn't feel anything else. It was as like a black hole sucked me into myself and as like I was slipping into nothing. As if life was separated from me. I didn't want it to happen, but there was no power to even pray for God. Half asleep in my phone's headphones, I put on one of the playlists on RU-vid without looking for anything special. I was neither asleep nor awake when, as I later found out in the performance of “Benedictus” 2CELLOS, I was hugged by some intangible hands. It was not a man's embrace - so unearthly gentle, paternal and motherly at once, full of peace, security, and endless love! I felt absolutely bliss, and I responded to my embrace with all my substance, with every cell of my own, with flesh, soul and heart. I realized I was taken from the black hole. The experience was so intense that I awoke and repeated the music to keep it on my playlist. I hadn't heard before. I clicked the name: Benedictus. A word often heard in the church. Benedictus means “blessed” in Latin. As you probably know, the word comes from the Bible as Jesus approached Jerusalem. "And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!" (Matthew 21: 9) I was embraced by Christ himself, and he discovered it through this piece! I still have to cry when I think about it and remember it, or listen this song. Wish every person personally experienced how insane God loves us! God's love for a man is more than His justice. For the sake of love He suffered the agony of hell, the innocent died in a terrible death by a cross to search for and save those who were supposed to be burned in the fire of hell. Because God's love is much, much more than His justice. In His love, he calls and asks us each: "Let me love and bless you!" I, the incredulous Tom, who had to touch to believe He was up, He has reached out his own hands. Christ is truly alive! So in love, I pray, humbly, too: “Let God love and bless you.” We all have grief and suffering, but if we allow Christ to illuminate our darkness, there are wonderful transformations, joy and gratitude are born, new, blessed, transformed, loving lives. He transforms us himself. I want to be the messenger of Christ's love, to love and see people as Jesus loves us and looks at us. Serve others as He serves us. A man is healthy and happy when he recognizes his affiliation with the Creator. Be blessed!

Волшебно! Душа откликается на эту божественную музыку. Браво исполнителям! Спасибо❤

Agreed you both have such gifts you share together as soulful, skilful talents! Here just brilliant as this touches your soul when one needed comfort, faith & consoling at many times this past few years for many of us! BRAVO & CHEERS GUYS!!

Hello, upon first hearing this, I was in a mental health group. AS I sat listening I began to move, slowly. By the end I was soaring. I knew I had to take this to the group. As I began to move, others joined. The entire group went from, uncertain to tears and, at the end, smiles. This was a very important moment, in our time!! To this day I can not listen to this without movement !Thank You Karl Jenkins and the 2 cellos. Much Love and Respect!raf

Stjepan and Luka are two exceptional artists with talent and grace from the Good Lord. Absolutely all the musical pieces they perform are jewels with which they heal our hearts and fulfill our inner needs to see and feel beauty. Thank you for existing and mediating through your music and talent, our meeting with the angels in heaven !!

Luka i Stjepan su umjetnici izvan kategorije, predivni. Glazba koja dira dušu i ispunja srce. Neka im dragi Bog podari dug i plodan život. Ovo je blagoslov koji se prelijeva na svakoga tko sluša ovu ljepotu. Božji blagoslov dečki.❤️🙏

Божественная музыка. Браво Степан и Лука. Обожаю вас слушать. 👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️⚘⚘⚘

Tonight, May 13, 2020, I am gathering with my four children, Debbie, Sun, Mendel and Amay via Skype. l will play this piece for them without a word as an expression of my deepest love for them, it's so full of unconditional love that anyone listing to it can receive the love and compassion of cosmos itself, percibing the hugs from our galactic family, We Are One 🙏 💖 🌟 💖 🙏

If Music is the language of Heaven, I think in this, we are so fortunate to have captured a glimpse.

I bless the Lord Jesus for the gift in Hauser ! He has kept my company with his beautiful “love “ thank you - praying for you From the country of Bob Marley JAMAICA !!

Волшебно, чудесно, прекрасно,сказочно!!!❤️✨✨✨

I'm not sure there is a more perfect piece of music on RU-vid. If its out there I haven't found it yet, but I don't think I will find something that speaks to the soul such as what my ears are blessed with for this 7 minutes. One day, this piece will see me off to the next life.

I could hear this again and again.... I would wish it lasts forever

Harmonic progression and voice leading touches our soul❤️

You touch the souls of so many people with your beautiful music!❤

There are no words in the English dictionary to describe what ive just listened to!!

This is so beautiful. No words necessary. Any human could feel the love and humanity in this absolutely disarming and emotionally moving melody. Thank you Karl Jenkins and the 2Cellos brothers for this melting rendition.

To play a Chello is beautiful, to make it sing a real achievement. You guys can make them sing, shout, even cry...superb
