Boccherini's Sonata for Two Cellos in C Major[edit]

Boccherini's Sonata for Two Cellos in C Major, 1st movement Allegro moderato (3:18)

Luigi Boccherini's Sonata for Two Cellos in C Major, 1st movement: Allegro moderato performed by Alisa Weilerstein and 8 year-old Sujari Britt at the White House Evening of Classical Music on November 4, 2009.

Whitehouse.gov posted eight videos from the November 4, 2009 White House Evening of Classical Music. I have put 6 of them on wikipedia. My guess is that entertainers chosen to perform at the White House put on a performance that represents a quality level sufficient to be described as among the best work on wikipedia.

Support While I was first a bit skeptical about a nine-year-old's technical abilities on the cello, seeing Britt's performance assuaged my concerns. Weilerstein doesn't have the best bow hold (looks sort of awkward at times, although not quite so glaringly obvious in this performance) and sometimes I get the feeling that her left hand fingers are weak, but it's amazing how she gets around that. The resolution of this video is quite nice, and overall, I think it's FS-quality. /ƒETCH COMMS / 02:32, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well I hope if the young girl's abilities are sufficient for our President and his guests that they are sufficient for our readers.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 03:06, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support Looks good, is notable for several reasons, and sounds good on the whole, although to my ears there seemed to be a couple of moments of some wayward tuning (doubtless Tony1 would be able to comment with greater depth). Both performers were responding to eachother well, and at full resolution this is more obvious than in the thumb-nail. On the whole FS status though.
