The cello, according to many folks, is the instrument most like
the human voice. Perhaps that's why this album of stand-out
inspirational melodies captures both the ear and the heart. And the
engaging performance style of the artist may be the reason he has one
of hottest instrumental videos currently playing on YouTube.
__IMAGE1__Whether he's riffing over Celtic percussion or soloing over the
China Philharmonic Orchestra, cellist Steven Sharp Nelson explores the
full range of the instrument with tender arrangements of "Lead Kindly
Light" and "Gabriel's Oboe," and exciting cinematic versions of "Come,
Come Ye Saints" and "Praise to the Man." In between you'll hear a
delightful Ukulele/Cello duet on "Simple Gifts" and other imaginative
takes on these musical favorites.
