Product Description

Classic Yo-Yo highlights this musician's extraordi nary career with 13 carefully selected tracks from Yo-Yo Ma's best-selling and award winning catalog.

Amazon.com

Except for one "previously unreleased" recording and two new ones, this is a compilation of segments taken from older Yo-Yo Ma CDs, perhaps to whet listeners' appetite to hear the entire records. The disc represents a triumph of performance over material. The program consists of short pieces and single movements of long ones and serves to display Yo-Yo Ma's extraordinary versatility, his spectacular instrumental and musical gifts, and his remarkable ability to invest everything he plays with the same commitment and emotional concentration. There is no logic to the sequence, except that it begins and ends with solo cello. Bach, whom Ma plays tuned normally when unaccompanied and tuned low with the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, may justify the CD's title but seems out of place. Moreover, juxtaposing him with O'Connor and Piazzolla is jarring, though the Tangos are beautiful. The transcription of Dvorák's lovely E-minor Slavonic Dance, despite the participation of violinist Itzhak Perlman and his golden tone, sounds like a movie soundtrack: all bravura and cheap effects. The playing's the thing, and it is stunning, not only Yo-Yo Ma's, but that of all his collaborators, from vocalists Bobby McFerrin and Alison Krauss to pianist Emanuel Ax, Ma's duo partner of 25 years. Ax joins Ma for the Finale of Brahms's second cello sonata; that is what you may find yourself humming at the end. --Edith Eisler

Great Selection of Music

Exquisite music! Just what I love to have playing while I read. Perfectly relaxing.
You haven’t really heard the cello until you hear Yo-Yo Ma.

Excellent Recording!

Cannot fail with Yo Yo Ma? CD is excellent shape, timely delivery. I purchased it to use at my mother's funeral service, just for his rendition of 'Simple Gifts' performed with Allison Kraus. That song alone was worth the price, but the rest of the CD is beautiful as well.

Since he's a great musician, I had high expectations for this album

Another endless masterpiece by the legendary Yo-Yo Ma. I look forward to hearing Yo-Yo Ma every single time I get the chance to do so. Since he's a great musician, I had high expectations for this album, and those expectations were exceeded. Looking forward to getting another Yo-Yo album soon.

Just what I wanted

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

I bought this CD specifically for the Bach Prelude. I was not disappointed. Although it remains my favorite piece, I enjoyed the other selections as well. They range from the American Appalachian Waltz and Simple Gifts, to the Chinese influenced Tan Dun to the Russian flavored Slavonic dance by Dvorak. If you enjoy the cello but don't want an all-classical album, this would be a good choice.

Fun and beauty

Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2002

Verified Purchase

This is one terrific CD. There is simply one wonderful surprise after another. So many exquisitely beautiful pieces and so many that are sheer fun! I was not familiar with most of this music before and now I am inspired to get the individual albums that this music came from. I want more tangos! I want more Appalachian music! I want more Yo-Yo Ma!
The only piece that didn't work for me was Vocalise with Bobby McFerrin.

1曲目のバッハからYO-YO MAの世界観に飲み込まれ、ドヴォルザーク、ブラームズからピアゾラまでの名曲を堪能できる。
優しくて力強いヨーヨーマのチェロに、バンドネオンの旋律がからみつき、ギターの爪弾きが彩を添えて……。
まさに休日の午後に心地良い「プレミアムな時間」を手軽かつ存分に味わえる一枚だ。
