As quickly as you can, name the most widely used rock and roll instrument you can think of. What came to mind? Many of you probably thought of the electric guitar, but what about the cello?
用最快的速度，來說出您所能想到最普遍使用的搖滾樂器。您會想到什麼呢？許多人可能會想到電吉他，但如果是大提琴呢？
The Croatian duo of Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser, also known as 2CELLOS, is taking this classical string instrument from the symphony to the rock and roll arena. The two classically trained musicians met in music school when they were still teenagers. For a time, they were even considered competitors because they competed against each other in music contests. Both cellists found that it was hard to survive as classical musicians. This would all change with a simple YouTube video.
克羅埃西亞雙人組路卡‧蘇利克和斯傑潘‧豪瑟，也就是大家所熟知的大提琴雙傑，正把這種古典弦樂器從交響樂帶往搖滾樂的殿堂。這兩位經過正統訓練的音樂家在還是青少年時就在音樂學校認識了。兩人一度被視為是競爭對手，因為當時他們在音樂比賽中互相較量。這兩位大提琴家都發現當古典音樂家很難生存下去。然而這些都將因僅僅一支 YouTube 影片而改變。
Together, Sulic and Hauser recorded Michael Jackson's hit Smooth Criminal, remade for the cello. A few million views later, 2CELLOS was born. They then got the opening spot on Elton John's tour, as well as making appearances on American TV shows such as Glee. Now the pair tour the world playing well-known rock hits from bands like U2, Coldplay, and Nirvana. Who knew cellos could be so rocking?
蘇利克和豪瑟一起錄了一首改編成大提琴版本的麥可‧傑克森的當紅曲子 Smooth Criminal。創下好幾百萬人次的點閱率之後，提琴雙傑就此誕生了。接著他們在艾爾頓‧強的巡迴演出中擔任開場嘉賓，並在美國的電視影集如《歡樂合唱團》中露臉。現在他們兩人在世界巡迴演出中演奏像 U2、酷玩、超脫等樂團的知名搖滾曲。又有誰知道大提琴也可以這麼搖滾呢？
