I have always wanted to teach myself cello because of those pieces. I just love the sound. (guitar player since about 1980)
Click here for Hungarian Rhapsody played by...you can guess by now...
He (JS Bach) must have been one of those people who find it impossible to sit still and do nothing.
Quite the multi-tasker.
The Prelude to the first sonata - like boarding a rollercoaster of audio joy...
Very nice.

looks like they are touring again. I heard them many years ago.
I had a friend who was a concert cellist for a while.
Those are good. There are several classical pieces around that would also work in a crossover style such as heavy metal.
One such work would be ‘Toccata and Fugue in D Minor
BWV 538 “Dorian”, Pipe Organ powerhaus. 12: 59 minutes!
Your second YouTube; “Hall of the Mountain King” was composed by Edvard Grieg. I like a lot of his work. I have some of his concertos written for cello.
