I am a Catalan and this piece, the Cant del Ocells of Pau Casals, has a very, very deep meaning to me. This is one of the best versions I have heard, Thank you.
I think he’s too old to be a prodigy, but your spot on with his emotional depth. He’s definitely a mind blowing virtuoso; can’t wait to see him at Carnegie Hall 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Such beauty helps me believe in the divinity of mankind, that a spark of the divine lies within us all, we just have to find a way to express it. What a beautiful and remarkable young man.
His music, His emotions, His feelings, His artistry, It's just amazing To watch, and to listen to, his musical craft, It's just amazingly Wonderful!!!❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉
When one considers that this composition was something like Casals' signature piece, one realizes that it shows a good deal of confidence in one's own playing to decide to post one's own version online. Sheku Kanneh-Mason passes the test on both counts: both in terms of belief in his own playing and, even more importantly, in terms of his ability to achieve a truly beautiful performance. Chapeau!
you make me like classical music and very much enjoy it now, thanks to you courtesy of the royal wedding i have never listened more than 30 min to symphony orchestra before, but since seeing you guys you tube videos i have spent hours watching and really listening lol.
This is a difficult song to play. Most sound just blah! But you dear Sheku sound absolutely stunning. So soulful. Like you are a beautiful bird singing. Perfection!
I don't often show my non Pollyanna side as it doesn't pop up too often. But it did this morning when I thought of all the lost years I didn't have with my grandchildren and how sad and cruel it's been for us all including Alex. So I sent Max this piece of music telling him how sad I feel of the loss of his and their childhood and that I would like to have a 2 hour lunch with him and see what happens...... I told him that Catalonian Pau(Pablo) Casals wrote Song of the Birds at his outrage and sadness the cruelty Franco's dictatorship created. The music conveys all that and also conveys all mine too. Let's see what happens...... The musician is the first black musician to win the UK Young Musician of the Year + he is the eldest of 8 from Nottingham and they all play.
The song of the birds (el cant dels ocells) it isn't a composition from Pau Casals, it's a tradicional catalan song that Pau Casals play it everywhere he went, but he make it more beautiful than it is. Pau Casals va ser un exemple per tot el poble català i el portarem al nostre cor tots els violoncelistes i els catalans que han de suportar la repressió de l'estat espanyol.
Shek, man I was looking for something new and different to write to and stumbled upon you and your gifted family. I will be writing few poems with your performances to complete my upcoming book. Its art when you can bring so many silent emotions with what you do. May Jah bless. J. Lynden Collingwood
Beautiful. Dear Sheku, have you done any videos of Welsh music, like Myfanwy, Bugeilior Gwenith Gwyn, Ar Hyd y Nos, Cwm Rhondda, Calon Lan, and Jenkins' sublime Benedictus? I'm sure you and your wonderful family would make something really lovely.

Found you from the royal wedding. You are a gift to this world 😍
Sheku is phenomenal & his brothers & sisters are brilliant too
Just wanted to say you did absolutely amazing at the royal wedding 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Holy shit. How is a teenager playing with such depth of emotion? Give prodigies something fast and they always sparkle, but this... Damn.
I think he’s too old to be a prodigy, but your spot on with his emotional depth. He’s definitely a mind blowing virtuoso; can’t wait to see him at Carnegie Hall 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
It has been quite awhile since the beautiful sounds of the cello have brought me to tears. Thank you Sheku Kanneh-Mason.
I had no idea Cello music could be so enchantingly moving.I am so touched it made me cry with its beauty.
Such beauty helps me believe in the divinity of mankind, that a spark of the divine lies within us all, we just have to find a way to express it. What a beautiful and remarkable young man.
Thank you Sheku. You are a gift to the world.
This is like a song in an action thriller when the main character loses the love of his life and vows revenge for their death. This dude is awesome.
Why anyone would give you a thumbs down is beyond me. That was beautiful! What a blessing!
To all the gamers who dont notice classic music in some epic scenes. Pay your respects.🔥🔥🔥🔥
His music,
His emotions,
His feelings,
His artistry,
It's just amazing
To watch, and to listen to, his musical craft,
It's just amazingly
Wonderful!!!❤️🎉🎉🎉🎉
This magnificent piece sounds so rich and beautiful when played with a cello ensemble. Thank you for sharing this art with us.
Sublime playing !..... such a moving performance.
wow! wow! wow! the best cellist!!!! wow! and still so young!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just saw Sheku at the royal wedding. My personal highlight. Never seen that much passion for his art before.
I'm genuinely tearing up right now, its been so long since I've heard music with so much soul
Can’t stop watching this young man, talent beyond belief, thank you very much
Only your music makes me cry.
My husband watches football, I listen to Sheku

I wasn’t surprised to learn Sheku has perfect pitch. His intonation is absolutely spot on. Great vibrato too!
Absolument magnifique ... sound of paradise ❤️🙏🏽thanks sheku for your talent !
Love him with the really big hair. Such a cool, wonderfully talented family. Well done mum and dad.
Been listening to his many renditions since the royal wedding. Bravo.
Sheku, all of your playing is a real joy to listen to. This must be possibly the sweetest joy of all for me. Thank You! Thank You!
This is Pablo Casals' favorite song. He is smiling at Sheku.
Beautiful he is really feeling the music Bravo
This sends shivers up and down my spine. So tragic, yet so beautiful.
Beautiful
He's really good.😁😆
Absolutely stunning beautiful composition and performance! Sheku and his Matteo Goffriller are all superb!!! 🎹🎼🎵🎶
Very beautiful music to lift one's spirit. Thank you!

I can just listen to this over and over again
So much talent, so much hard work to be this good. The range of emotions he manages to convey, it's just to beautiful for words!
Thank You
De belles émotions se dégagent de la musique un talent.

A beautifil composition from Pau Casals. He composed it when he was away from his country ( Catalonia) during Franco dictature in Spain.
The song of the birds (el cant dels ocells) it isn't a composition from Pau Casals, it's a tradicional catalan song that Pau Casals play it everywhere he went, but he make it more beautiful than it is. Pau Casals va ser un exemple per tot el poble català i el portarem al nostre cor tots els violoncelistes i els catalans que han de suportar la repressió de l'estat espanyol.
Linda interpretação, que sentimento colocaste na música. Congratulations!!!
💜
💜☄️🌌
Your kind of glissando is the best I ever heard😍. Btw, I'm a 17 years old cellist and your expressivity is my reference
Que coisa mais linda, profunda, emocionante
Amazingly he knows it by heart….no sheet music in front of him
Wow
those facial expression=WOW
😭😭😭😭
