This video has been making the rounds upon its entrance into fine society, and by request of RetroBlog, I present it here.
These two dashing gents are Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser of 2CELLOS and in their video for AC/DC's “Thunderstruck” they chose the austere and polite setting of an eighteenth-century theatre.
Hmm...the crowd doesn't seem sold. Bring in the acrobats!
I quite like it, although I think they could do with a nice powder wig (a la Amadeus?) or at least a regency haircut. Oh wait, not to mention their actual musical prowess is AMAZING.
Thank you for posting this, now I have to find the original AC/DC cut of Thunderstruck. Bye! Makes me want to purchase an MP3 player and download something!
ReplyDeleteA capital performance! Must be frightfully dear to re-hair one's bow after a single evening's exhibition.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, frightfully extravagant!
ReplyDeleteThey are fronting for Elton John they can afford to restring. Wonder what the old strings are going for on Ebay?
