Monday Music Appreciation #2 -- and now for something completely different

At work at the Francis Winspear Centre for Music on Friday night, I was lucky to sit in on a viola concerto played by the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra strings section, with Clayton Leung giving a wonderful performance.

This video is not a viola concerto. But it's absolutely incredible all the same. In an effort not to spoil it for those who haven't run into 2CELLOS before, I'll only say that the performers are two very talented, classically trained Croatian cellists named Luka Sǔlić and Stjepan Hauser. Watch those fingers fly... and stay for the end if you can. It made me laugh with delight!
