I have to agree with Vincent; the cello is a lovely instrument in the right hands. It goes without saying Vincent is great.
One of my favourites is a singer cellist named Jorane. She is from Québec, so maybe she is not that well known in the USA. I lose myself in her music all the time. She is worth discovering! Don't fret over the poor quality of this youtube video, it will give you a taste of what she does.
