The Wiener Cello Ensemble presents 5+1: Bolero
Oh my goodness, awesome.
Though I feel bad for the one playing the "percussion" part most of the piece. That's gotta be hell on the wrist.

Wow, and I thought four-hand piano playing was a bit nuts.

Can someone please explain the 5+1 part? I thought it was going to be five people and one cello and thus kept waiting for the last person to show up.

Looking at their other videos (such as this one), and the credits on the video in the OP, there are actually six members of their group. Presumably the others lost the deathmatch which decided who'd feature in this video.

As a non-string player (brass player, so monophony only) I kinda have to wonder what it feels like to feel your instrument vibrating with dissonance then resolving to consonance. Is it more satisfying than just hearing it?
