Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The great Yo-Yo Ma has recently (in addition to his world music explorations) moved to the baroque cello, a so-called period instrument, and his transition has been remarkably smooth. He is indeed a musical polyglot, and this CD finds him solidly in the heart of the Baroque period, with music by Vivaldi. In addition to three concerti the composer wrote for cello, there are some fascinating transcriptions. The Largo violin solo from the "Winter" concerto of the Four Seasons is here beautifully played on cello, its darker tone added substituting gravity for chill in the wintry landscape. A concerto originally for viola d'amore, lute and strings has been transformed into one for cello, organ, strings and continuo, with Baroque expert Ton Koopman as transposer and organist (and sympathetic, energetic conductor throughout). And oddest of all, Koopman has created cello solos out of arias (one of which is helped by a perky bassoon) originally composed for female voice from a couple of operas, the oratorio Juditha Triumphans, and the familiar "Laudamus te" from the famous "Gloria." Leave it to these musicians to re-invent Vivaldi with respect and a clear ear for musical values--not to mention sheer entertainment and a forward propulsion which makes it all so invigorating. --Robert Levine

Masterful Musician

Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2010

Yo Yo Ma is one of the most phenomenal musicians of modern day. Whether it's Vivaldi, Hayden, Bach or James Taylor that comes from his cello, you can be assured that he makes it his own and it is handled with the best of care. I bought this (and other Yo Yo Ma) for my wife for Christmas and I think I have listened to it as much or more than her.
I believe that if the younger generation of what is lightly referred to as "musicians" were to listen to him and how he plays, not with his hands but with his heart, they would simply have to step out of the world referred to as musical talent due to embarrassment.
His style on this compilation shows his uniqueness and passion for the music as well as ultimate respect for the composer(s). I would believe that he will go down in the annals of history as one of the most gifted and appreciated musicians of all time.

Always a Treat!

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2008

Verified Purchase

I have purchased Simply Baroque, Simply Baroque II, and Vivaldi's Cello. I am so pleased - Yo-Yo Ma and Ton Koopman's Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra have created something truly magical. I keep listening to these cds and each time seems like the first. I am a huge fan of baroque music - Bach and Vivaldi are favorites so perhaps I am biased here. Still, beauty is beauty and the arrangements on all three of these cds is just that- beautiful music. I think Vivaldi would approve of the work done here-sensitive, energetic, alive! Another reviewer hit the nail on the head in referring to this cd as Baroque III. If you enjoy music that soothes and yet isn't "elevator music", buy these cds. You are in for a great musical experience.

Very listenable CD

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

I can't say exactly why, but both my husband and I have become enamored, in the last couple years, of Vivaldi's compositions for cello. This CD is very much to our liking. It's warm, and the playing is excellent. We often have it as dinner music or play it in the car, and there's not much conversation when this CD is playing -- we're into the music.

Vivaldi and the 'cello: Like cheese and fine wine!

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2009

Verified Purchase

Vivaldi's music is a joyful celebration of life. Although his works for the 'cello are well known, the violin usually takes priority. Yo Yo Ma's interpretation of Vivaldi through the 'cello, both music Vivaldi wrote for the violoncello and violin music adapted for it, is a musical miracle. Composers of the Baroque Era often rearanged music for various instruments; so no artistic damage is done. And the lugubrious tones of Ma's 'cello call to mind the wonderful pleasure of an excellent cheese complimented with fine wine. A total treat.

I love this CD very much and was disappointed when somehow it was lost. I deceided to get the digital version so I can listen both at home and the office which is where I kept the CD at. Purchasing the digital version & the cloud player make a great combination.
