You could play that stuff? It requires unreal coordination. Amazing.

As a former cellist and pianist, I can’t take a position for or against either of them! Back in younger days I took on the piano version; it is definitely fun to play.

I wonder who the conductor is? He was as much fun to watch as it was to listen to the music. He really loves those kids!
