While these selections may not be as modern as their recent Avicii cover, 2CELLOS perform the arrangement with the vigor and rosin-y freshness that rivals the mammoth sonic impact of EDM. It's also important to note their attention to detail with regards historical authenticity; keeping a fairly steady tempo, sprinkled with rubato in the lament sections of the ritornello which is highly idiomatic of Baroque performance.

They've also shared a performance video of “Gabriel’s Oboe” by Ennio Morricone from the same concert.
