I got this video from a program that aired quite a while ago and I uploaded it on youtube. Can someone please tell me what piece this is? I have been looking for this haunting piece for a long time but so far have been unsuccessful and now I am trying my luck here. Hopefully, some classical music fan can recognize it. Thanks!

Well I can say that it certainly sounds like it is from the Classical period. However, it seems a little unlikely that a composer from the classical period would compose a piece of music for 12 cellists, so it is likely a transcription of another piece, or it is a Neo-Classical piece, a modern piece written in Classical style.
I would search the info the video clip gives you. The musicians are the 12 Cellists from the Berlin Philharmonic, and they do have Cd's out as well as a website, I believe. It also appears to be some sort of program giving a tour of Berlin, so you might check on that and if you can find the program you should be able to find music credits.

I have emailed the link to a fine pro cellist I know. If she responds with the correct name of the piece I'll make an edit and post it later.
I'm thinking Bocherrini too.............

i wish i could tell you definitely but i would guess that it was either J.S. Bach or even C.P.E. Bach perhaps...have you contacted PBS, they surely have to know what song they used in their own piece

Hmmm. Because of its instrumentation and its curiously 'colourless' Haydn quality, I'd hazard it's Boccherini. Please don't ask me precisely what: you need a 'cellist or contrabassist for that... :-)
