Interpretive Response: 2 Cellos

   When one thinks of a cello, and the music it sings at every stroke of its cords, pop cultural music does not come to mind. Generally the cello is seen playing classics from great composers such as Mozart and Beethoven. However, 2 Cellos is a group that defies everything previously known about the capabilities of this fascinating instrument. They play popular music and apply a surreal twist to songs that have been blessed with immortal popularity.
   The thrashing of the cellists heads as they thrust their emotions into the cello, expresses the raw passion that these men share. As the strings of the bow begin to fray and splinter, the cello screams notes straight into the beating heart. While the music begins to settle and simmer to a calming pace, each gentle stroke of the strings imprints an eternal tattoo on one's very soul. Then the notes start to meander their way into the ear, and the listener is consumed by music that wields the power to heal a broken world.
