This kid (he’s technically no longer a kid at this point) is legit! I just found one of his YouTube videos as I was searching for other inspiration of the Bach cello suites - he apparently got an undergrad at Eastman majoring on euphonium, but he plays a bunch of other instruments. He plays on a Yamaha Pre-Neo 642S that has an aftermarket trigger added with a Schilke 51D. He has a ton of YouTube videos, including all movements of the Bach Cello Suite #1 that he played on his senior recital. There are videos of him playing other instruments as well - his most popular secondary instruments appear to be the tuba, horn, and an ancient recorder/flute type instrument called an ocarina. Very cool stuff - check out his YouTube page, and several of his recordings are on iTunes as well.
