Beautiful instrumental version here: http://videosift.com/video/Ecstasy-of-Gold-Yo-Yo-Ma-plays-Ennio-Morricone

Tags for this video have been changed from 'dance, classical, modern, cello, live, Spike Jonze, Dying Swan, Camille Saint Saens' to 'dance, classical, modern, cello, yo yo ma, lil buck, Spike Jonze, Swan, Saint Saens' - edited by Trancecoach

Often, the most inspiring and beautiful creations come about as the result of a juxtaposition between the classical and the modern, the old and the new. Such is the case in this video, which was filmed by director Spike Jonze, that captures Los Angeles street dancer Lil’ Buck as he performs an amazing interpretation of “The Swan” from Camille Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals with a live musical accompaniment by the award-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma.

Thank you, my friend!

The point is that these people are losers? Massive upvote.

What a dumb piece of shit you are. You're telling me Yo-Yo Ma is a loser because he's in a Mac commercial? Shithead. Go back in time and give you mother an abortion.


Learn when people aren't being serious, or get the hell off mah internetz.

Also, for the record, I know they're not mah internetz. I wasn't being serious there.
