2CELLOS, Giovanni Sollima, Mischa Maisky - Thunderstruck 

You're god damn right

+Alex Grace Lindsay-Black If you check bios for Stjepan and Luka you will see they are classically trained with Masters degrees from London and Manchester. They play with i soloisti di Zagreb, and symphonies all around the world. Bach or rock they're wonderful!

+Alex Grace Lindsay-Black One of the guys was taught by Rostropovich

read their biographies

Mmh but I just mean that Stjepan and Luka also go beyond the realms of classical music and it's lovely to see this collaboration between musicians who embrace different styles (I'm well aware that '2CELLOS' are classically trained, as I've often listened to Stjepan's interpretation of a piece I'm learning). I'm just in awe of each level of mastery in a different way and really enjoy this partnership. Hope this clears things up!

they are not just classicaly trained, they went to best schools and won the best prizes. what i mean, they are equal as any famous soloists on cello out there, that's how good they play. they just choose a different style.

Donald I appreciate those guys very much, but Picasso and Dali made their own drawings and paintings.Those guys are excellent performers and interpreters but i have't heard a single piece written by 2 cellos.Maybe one day...

+Ben Cuevas Délire !! ^^

Maestro Maisky would probably tell you (and several others commenting here) to take your heads out of your backsides long enough to see that they are actually paying respect to 2Cellos by joining them onstage to jam with them, whilst having an absolute ball at the same time. They are enjoying every moment of it.

Well, maisky might outplay the 2cello-guys, but Giovanni Sollima is also on that stage. Sollima is a very good cellist and one of the best contemporary composers for cello. Did it ever ocur to you that Maisky and Sollima really want to play this gig (it's a celebration, the final eventing of a week full of any kind of cello-music) ? They both look like they're having fun, and so are the other musicians. Cellists are less narrowminded than many other classical musicians.

+YayBenSpeck maybe not outplay

This was in 2014. During that evening there must have been at least 30 good cellists on that stage. I visited the final evening of the Cello Biënnale last year (which is announced at 29 oct 2016 in this video) and i can tell you: The majority of the audience are cellists as well. Mind that, when you hear the applause in the end. This is not about excellence, this is about enjoying to play that instrument.

Who is Maiksy?

La cultura y el arte no son excluyentes. No tiene sentido lo que usted dice. Por personas como usted, la música académica está en decadencia. La música clásica sí tiene futuro.

No!!!! Caro io sono una musicista e amo la musica!!! Questa gente vende fumo!!! solo fumo e abbindola il pubblico con vere stupidaggini ! questa non è musica! è solo voglia di fare soldi!!! I due ragazzi sono mediocri musicisti, ascoltali nei concerti "classici"......quelli dove si sente che cosa suoni!!!! Concerto per due violoncelli di vivaldi...prova ad ascoltarli!!! per quanto riguarda Sollima e Maisky...cosa si fa per restare a galla!!!! ridicoli!!! Ascoltati qualche bel video di Onofri con il Giardino Armonico o di Jordi Savall!!!! questa è gente che fa opere d'arte!!! Quella che tu chiami arte è IDIOZIA!!!

Da violoncellista, condivido i tuoi sentimenti verso i 2 CELLOS. Sinceramente non mi aspettavo nemmeno io che due colossi come Sollima e Maisky potessero cadere così in basso... A suonare cover degli ACDC... Cioè, non si può proprio sentire questa roba...

***** Sonia perdonami se intervengo, ma io credo che se due colossi della musica classica hanno voluto collaborare con loro, forse vedono qualcosa che tu non riesci a vedere., e se il talento M.Maisky e G. Sollima è innegabile dovresti fidarti del loro giudizio.La cultura come la musica non è statica, ma in continua evoluzione, Alcune persone si adattano ai cambiamenti altre restano radicate nei vecchi clichè.Ma la musica non ha confini, fondere diversi generi musicali non significa deturparne la bellezza, ma al contrario esaltare il meglio di entrambi. in ogni ambito si fa riferimento al classico per scrivere il futuro, è così nell'arte,nella musica nella danza così come anche nella biologia, pensaci ...se nessuno osasse spingersi oltre i confini come te non esisterebbe l'evoluzione. ma del resto la GENIALITA' è da sempre incompresa! ma non dovresti sminuire il lavoro, il sacrificio e l'abnegazione con cui Stjepan e Luka si sono dedicati alla musica. spero che tu arrivi ad avere lo stesso successo e a collaborare con grandi artisti come stà accadendo a loro.

***** I can agree that this is mediocre music, total crap, but all of them are excelent cellists. And actually this kind of video will probably attract more kids into learning cello. It's not all that bad. But i would like to see these four playing some real music together

well, actually I think he was kidnapped. look at ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eKoAEnxloqA.html. I think this in morse code means "somebody help me; I'm having so much fun then I'll ruin my reputation of serious musicians"

Easton Hubbard As a longtime classical music lover, I find this piece ever so much better and more enjoyable than a large part of the "classical" music composed in the 20th century.

75Chopin 75Chopin Sorry, i have to disagree regarding the fact Sollima is only a baroque cellist: he certainly is a wonderful baroque player but his culture is so big and wide to reach also modern music, he surely doesn't stop to baroque. I also think is a pretty narrow thought saying that this music is absolute crap when in the video you see 4 cellists having fun while playing, and fun is one of the best thing in music like this.

It's boring though 🙁
