I Miss My Cello

So I have planned to learn a new piece on the cello this summer since I don't have a job (yet...) and I've been so damn lazy I can't stand it. It is the Cello Suite #5 - Prelude by Bach. Here are two versions of it that I like but I will probably never be able to mimic:




Yea...very difficult. But if I get serious about it, it will certainly keep me busy. I like having high goals for that reason. Oh, and if anyone knows who it is that performs the version as played in the anime Blood+ by Hagi, please tell me? It's amazing.

On a fun side note: I can play this tune easily on the cello but it wouldn't be nearly as impressive as this guy playing the same tune. He's even using vibrato! Ok, well, yes, he should probably just eat his vegetables...but I'm still impressed.
