Can cellists play parallel fourths of D4 and G4 going up to the highest notes of F#4 and B5?

I'm composing a piece for cello and piano. I need to know if it is possible for cellists to play a succession of slow 8 parallel perfect fourths starting with D4 and G4 going up to the highest notes of F#4 and B5. I'm trying to create an Oriental sound with these intervals. Would parallel fifths sound better and be easier to play? Thanks for any help a professional cellist or fellow composer can offer.
