I wish the cello quartet and quintet format was more famous. It certainly has a whole lot of potential regarding range, dynamic and most of all harmonic "blending", so to speak.
And for those who would sing along: Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind? Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind; Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm, Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm. "Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?" - "Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht? Den Erlenkönig mit Kron' und Schweif?" - "Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif." "Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir! Gar schöne Spiele spiel' ich mit dir; Manch' bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand, Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand." - "Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht, Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht?" - "Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind; In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind." - "Willst, feiner Knabe, du mit mir gehn? Meine Töchter sollen dich warten schön; Meine Töchter führen den nächtlichen Reihn, Und wiegen und tanzen und singen dich ein." - "Mein Vater, mein Vater, und siehst du nicht dort Erlkönigs Töchter am düstern Ort?" - "Mein Sohn, mein Sohn, ich seh' es genau: Es scheinen die alten Weiden so grau. -" "Ich liebe dich, mich reizt deine schöne Gestalt; Und bist du nicht willig, so brauch' ich Gewalt." - "Mein Vater, mein Vater, jetzt faßt er mich an! Erlkönig hat mir ein Leids getan!" - Dem Vater grauset's; er reitet geschwind, Er hält in Armen das ächzende Kind, Erreicht den Hof mit Mühe und Not; In seinen Armen das Kind war tot.
This one of the most amazing quintet arrangements I've heard, especially of the famous and well-known Elrkonig by Schubert!! As a fellow cellist, you guys are absolutely amazing!! Thank you for sharing your marvelous talents!!

It's a unsurpassed performance to be full of a sense of reality that Erlking seems to really appear in front of me From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇲🇰
I always wanted to have the Erlkönig as a villain in my DnD campaign. Now I have a theme song haha ! Thank you. Wonderfull arrangement and interpretation.
what an original idea ! adoring the way the players come in and out of tutti and solo playing...especially loved the Erlkonig - cello...sorry, should probably NOT pick one out of this homogeneous ensemble !
At long last, our first batch of arrangements are published (including this one)! Please find them at ascendamusic.com/string-catalog/. More will be added soon.
@@SAKURAcellos Thank you! I work with a cello ensemble in August, do you anticipate having parts available by the Spring or is it a little bit up in the air? Again- such a beautiful sound- I'm a big fan!
Before you listen to this I would recommend u going to the original vocal price it’s so beautiful and elkönig means elf king I think it might help u understand once u go to the vocal piece
Yo classical fans, a question from someone who doesn't know shit: how is that possible that a cello reaches the notes of a violin? I mean, why bother using violin?
Good question. Violin and cello have different sound characteristics, so even if playing the exact same note, they'll sound different, like different colors of paint on an artist's palette. All stringed instruments (including viola and bass, too) have their own different beauty and strengths. It's also hard to play super high on cello; a violin sits more comfortably up there. That said, the cello has a huge practical range (low to high) and many beautiful available sounds throughout, and we sometimes ask the same question as you (don't tell any violinists!).
@@SAKURAcellos thank you for your response! Ok I think I got it, let me see if I got it right tho: it's like on a guitar, when you choose to play the same note on the position 0 of the e string on the fifth fret of the string above? (sorry, I know very little about music terminology and notes, sorry) It's the same note but the sound is sharper with the open string, in a way, and a little more "bassy" when played in the fifth fret
@@alemutasa6189 Yeah, exactly. We have those options on cello too -- playing the same note on different strings will sound different. But it's an even bigger difference between instruments.
The arrangment for cellos sounds so cool especially the main theme it sounds so strong on a cello wow
One of the most underrated video in whole you tube !
I wish the cello quartet and quintet format was more famous. It certainly has a whole lot of potential regarding range, dynamic and most of all harmonic "blending", so to speak.
If I heard this without seeing the video, I'd NEVER would have thought it would have been comprised of ALL cellos. The note range is insane
And for those who would sing along:

Very expressive interpretation, however singing along? Impossible! Kein rubato. Nicht gut.
nobody is gonna sing along. It's a classical piece.
Thanks
@@elisavetaneznamova2988 it was actually written as a musical interpretation of a poem so a lot of times people use the poem as lyrics
Amazing. The different colors and phrasing are unbelievable.
This is such a gorgeous arrangement! Definitely one of my favorite versions of Erlkonig!
This is an amazing Arrangement! It really captures the tone of the original.
Needs more views! Absolutely beautiful arrangement! 1:43 gave me the best chills ever!!!
This one of the most amazing quintet arrangements I've heard, especially of the famous and well-known Elrkonig by Schubert!! As a fellow cellist, you guys are absolutely amazing!! Thank you for sharing your marvelous talents!!
Erkonig is the most beautiful song in the universe
I am currently writing the rage of my character, and you can't imagine how this strong cello arrangement of Erlkönig is helping me.
This captured my heart..the tone..so beautiful young men, well done.
Peter Myers is a genius and the performers here were flawless!
One of the best versions of Erlkönig I know, love the Arrangement!
After hearing a lot of versions, in my opinion, this is the best one. Loved it.
I'm so glad this exist. It's beautiful. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. ❤️🇲🇽
Lovely, and makes it even more amazing when just one person plays essentially the same on a violin...

Much darker than the solo violin (Ernst) version. I think I prefer this! I wish I could play the cello!
Excellent!
Great job keeping together at the end!! I desperately want the sheet music to this arrangement... it's rocking
At long last, our first batch of arrangements are published (including this one)! Please find them at ascendamusic.com/string-catalog/. More will be added soon.
Outstanding!! Work

Who gives a dislike is bad an idiot. The playing is amazing
I think it's better than Hilary Hahn
You guys are coolll!
Still not fast enough. The horse was still unable to outrun the elf king
unfortunately
But if you loop it forever the boy won’t die :p
потрясающе 😭
Love your music! Where can I buy sheet music? Do you plan on selling your cello arrangements? Please? 🤩
Stay tuned!
Lovely! Where can I find sheet music for your arrangements?
We get asked this a lot. At the moment we aren't selling our arrangements, but we plan to soon. We'll let you know!
@@SAKURAcellos Thank you! I work with a cello ensemble in August, do you anticipate having parts available by the Spring or is it a little bit up in the air? Again- such a beautiful sound- I'm a big fan!
Maria Di Meglio Unlikely to be this spring, unfortunately, but if you’d like to be informed of when we do, we’ll get back to you later!

Before you listen to this I would recommend u going to the original vocal price it’s so beautiful and elkönig means elf king I think it might help u understand once u go to the vocal piece
The Instrumental: 😌
The Lyrcis: 💀
Wow I didn't know Glenn from The Walking Dead played cello

@@SAKURAcellos as a violinist I am offended🤣 just kidding of course
The cello can't go as high as the violin
Hilary hahn can play it all by herself, does that mean she is secretly Ling Ling🤔🤨
what? do you realize these guys don't even have a thousand subs? smh
Insufficient urgent tension. To me anyway.
this is cheating
Lol no. This piece for solo violin is just about showing off.
It sounds so much better harmonised into 5 instruments.
