Editorial Reviews

"Falling Down Stairs" (55 min.) features Bach's Suite No. 3 for Unaccompanied Cello. Although he knew the music well, Mark Morris had never thought to choreograph a dance based on Bach's Third Suite. He felt the music was complete in itself. But through a close collaboration with Yo-Yo Ma, an astonishing dance emerges, a true three-way collaboration between musician, dancers and filmmaker Barbara Willis Sweete.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Inspiration, April 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Yo-Yo Ma - Inspired by Bach No. 3, Falling Down Stairs (Cello Suite 3) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
The collaboration of Bach's 3rd Suite for Unaccompanied Cello with Mark Morris' "Falling Down Stairs" was wonderful to watch. Yo-Yo Ma's playing is truly an inspiration. I got to see this performance live and it's absolutely captivating. Bach would have been proud.

2.0 out of 5 stars Falling Flat on Face, February 7, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Yo-Yo Ma - Inspired by Bach No. 3, Falling Down Stairs (Cello Suite 3) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Similar in concept to No. 5 in the series, but without the same degree of success. The result here seems forced, without any apparent chemistry between cellist, choreographer, and dancers. Borrow this if you want to see a documentary about a failed artistic collaboration.
