Played on The Last Night of the Proms 1995. This cellist gives his heart and soul while playing. The most beautiful version I have ever heard. What is his name?
Easily draws tears to this old'ish mans eyes this piece of music. When I first heard this, and it was this actual clip, at work, on nights, watching the LNOTP's, I was at a very low time in my life where everything was kind of closing in on me to which I was seriously thinking of going beyond the point of no return and this clip and this piece came on in the midst of all the patriotic loud and bellowing music before it. I cried my eyes out, sobbed like a baby in fact. The soothing sound of the cello brought all of that emotion forward and out of me. So thank you Paul Watkins for this. You saved a life that night, and I say that without any drama or seeking of attention, it truly was that bad or at least I thought it was. Thank you again.
His name is Paul Watkins, he's Welsh and he's brilliant!

No words can describe the beauty of this piece of music. Just listen.
Achingly beautiful. Thank you so much.
