当我下飞机时，
00:39

00:42
had gone mad,
5
17000
3000

00:45
and had -- oh! -- a bit like that! --

40000
3000
我说 "我要演奏大提琴 还有我会唱一些歌曲,"
01:08
and he said, "Oh, I sort of play the cello as well."

3000
然后他说“噢，其实我也算会拉大提琴。”
01:11
And I said, "Do you really?"

46000
3000
然后我问，“真的吗？”
01:14

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Caroline Lavelle - Cellist; singer-songwriterEqually talented on cello and vocals, Caroline Lavelle has created a performance style all her own. Her expansive talents, channeling the best of both classical and contemporary influences, have earned her comparisons to both Kate Bush and Jacqueline du Pré.
Why you should listen
Connecting the best of British chamber folk and folk rock to modern electronic music, Caroline Lavelle is frequently sought out for both her vocals and her cello playing. The genre-bridging cellist has collaborated with the likes of Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson, Radiohead, the Cranberries, BT, Massive Attack and William Orbit, among others (she reportedly inspired Madonna to pursue her own successful collaboration with Orbit).
In her TED performance of "Further than the Sun," Lavelle plays the cello like a sorceress casting a spell, occasionally hiding behind her wild mane of blond hair as she sings of pastoral themes. She's produced three solo albums -- A Distant Bell (2004), Brilliant Midnight (2001) and Spirit (1995) -- and is a touring member of the Chieftains.
