Four men and a cello

Although I'm a (mostly former) cellist, I don't have too much to say here. Except that the performance of Ravel is shockingly good. The harmonizing when the motif returns might be the best part. Two bows! The guy from around the back deserves kudos for bowing and fingering under conditions of obstruction. The prinicipal performer maintains his concentration awfully well, too, and can really play.

And by the way, cool electronic cello.
