Really good your website. Go on for our pleasure. Very interesting to follow the life of a vey good young musician.
wow finally an official site. way to go!
you are amazing!
curious,did you develop this site?
I first saw you on "Prodigies" and am now listening to you on the radio on "From The Top". You are a great kid with an amazing sense of humor! Keep on rockin'!! Hope to hear (and see) much more of you in the future!
First saw you on Channel 4 and you're great! Love the way you love life and music, it shows in the way you talk and play the cello!! Keep it going!
I just finished putting the UTube of you on my Facebook page. I have listened to it about 10 times now as it is soo beautiful. Thank you, Kathy
I can't speak English, this message has been buttonhole with google =P, and I don't think that you understand it very well. Neither I don't know if you will read this, I'm sure that you have a lot of work ...
I'm 15 years old and live in a small town near Barcelona. I write only because you know that every time that I play one piece, I hear as you play, on the youtube ;). The truth is that you tend to lose to me a bit, aged 17 and playing well... I never will I get to play like you. You are lucky, When i was 3 I didn't know what was a cello, and even today, my parents do not agree that I want to study music ... it's a little bit difficult. But when I hear you I think it is possible and even study more . I will never like you, but never let the music play.
Folows well, please.
Many kisses!!
You're cute ^^
I was so disappointed to find out we missed

Keep opening our heart with your music
Bravo!
Hi i'm from SIngapore and i'm born in 1994. I don't play the cello, I play the piano and i love it but i also love the sound of the cello:DD I've never heard a cello up close so i don't really know what it sounds like in concerts but all the recordings i listen to sound really good so i think if it's up close it'll sound better.
I really like your show "Let's talk music"- performing cause i really dread taking piano practical exams and i'm doing my grade 7 this year.
Am really encouraged by your effort to help musicians out there^^~
Thanks for the nice music
I LOVE THE PRELUDE! hahahah! SERIOUSLY I LOVE IT:DD
