Alors là, je suis bien embêté pour le choix du pouce. Une œuvre sublime, magnifiquement interprétée par une violoncelliste talentueuse. En revanche la chorégraphie derrière.... certes le danseur et mime a du talent, mais qui a eu cette idée saugrenue ? J’admire d’autant plus Camille de ne pas avoir éclatée de rire. Ça, c’est de la maîtrise. !! A écouter donc les yeux fermés ou dans son dernier disque absolument magnifique.
Raul Conde
Muy de acuerdo. El mimo no sólo no añade, sino que distrae. Queremos acercar y caemos en lo banal.

Tellement d’accord... il m’énerve derrière, pas en harmonie avec la musique. Je préfère 100x le merveilleux visage de Camille qui lui transmet l’émotion.

So easy, just ignore him.
Susana Fernandes
My dear Camille, that is Divine... As your heart and soul to play it like is was in Heaven.
Perfect 💓 please stay all safe and well secured.
My respects, from Porto, Portugal 🇵🇹
Bela Cohen
She's an amazing performer, especially during lockdown she is able to lift our spirits and hopes through her beautiful music, and the mime in the background tells his story of sadness, loneliness and isolation during such difficult time🧡🎶🎵
Julian Dolby
Wonderful! After I saw a snippet on instragram, I was hoping to see this whole thing, and I am happy that now you have posted it. Such wonderful, heartfelt playing, and a glorious arrangement for cello. Your performance brings out the emotion so well that the words are not even needed. Thank you ever so much.

She plays with her soul. Perfect. Bravo👏👏👏
José Galán Arias
