Dvořák Yo Yo Ma Bělohlávek 2015

I've never seen anyone more kind and considerate to the other musicians on stage than Yo-Yo Ma. He is a treasure

The Mount Everest of Cello Concertos. Thank you, Mr. Dvorak!

Yo Yo Ma's cello has the most personal tone, the way he interprets music is out of this world! Thank you!

Have been listening to Yo-Yo Ma for decades and finally had the chance to see him perform only a few years ago -- in Arizona, of all places. Drove a hundred miles for that and dragged our son and his college friend for that performance!

This kind of communication between Ma and the entire orchestra is incredible touching.

I was at this concert. It was one of the most memorable moments in my life.

I'm doing well at work, smiling with my family, and doing well on the outside. But in fact, a month has passed since the relationship ended while trying to protect a difficult partnership to regain the lost love. I endure every day with great psychological anxiety and internal pain of personal separation. Then I met this video, and little by little, my mind came back to reality and I am finding stability. Thanks a lot. I'll live well again.

I love the way Yo Yo Ma plays for the orchestra, the composer, the conductor and the audience. He puts all the heart and passion he can muster into whatever piece of music he plays.

" To play a wrong note is insignificant ; to play without passion is inexcusable "-- Beethoven....

Yo-Yo Ma is truly an amazing musician, but the entire orchestra were all amazing musicians too... I have watched so many presentations like this one as a child on PBS and I still do 45 years later...

Yoyoma. Made up my mind to do an oilpainting of you, and chris botti, together, playing ennio morricone. I'm a medical doctor but have been painting for fifty blessed years. Marvellous performer. You look like my dear departed dad. I'm chinese and 75yo..you show such graceful manners and mutual respect to your fellow artistic colleagues and the conductor. To see you shine, the whole world feels much more warmer to each other.

I heard Yo-Yo Ma years ago in Huntington, WV. Keith Albee , beautiful, met him. So marvelous

I saw Yo-Yo Ma for the first time at UC Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall in the 90s paying only student ticket price for a returned ticket. He collaborated with Merce Cunningham Dance Company playing on the side of the stage in front of balcony seats. The cancelled seat I got was on the balcony only about 10ft away from him. I watched him playing Bach's Cello Suite the whole time, not caring about the dance performances. Truly unforgettable memory. I went to his performances a few times afterward paying full prices but was never that close. Thanks to him, I am an amateur cellist now. What an inspiration!

What a maestro he is yo yo ma, incredible feeling and passion combined with perfektion.

Ive seen Yo Yo Ma in concert many times decades back. Still couldn't forget his recital in UCLA Royce Hall on an evening when he played at least 8 encores, bringing all audience to standing ovation, and some continuing yelling 'yo yo' and many cheering for him to play more.

The world will lose one of the few lights it has when Mr. Ma dies. I hope we the young can carry his knowledge in great pride and happiness as he is today. I'm so grateful for his existence and joy. He is our great teacher for us young musicians. I have a deep love for him.

There are many cellists I greatly admire, from Casals to Tortelier to Rostropovich, but Yo Yo Ma's precision combined with feeling makes him unique. He is the greatest.

This is the level where technique etc stops being relevant - it's no longer just the music that the performer is conveying to the audience, it's their personality and world view. His music transcends the usual concerns of tone, dynamics, rhythm and delivers warmth, candor, and a genuine sense of care.

What a performance! Even just watching him play, creates a tremendous emotion hard to explain!

Thanks for the upload/ and all the people here making a comment/ we all feel the same and in music we unify together sharing something of value > understanding/ beautiful, too bad the world is so divided and split from politics. Maybe politicians only have a mouth and no inner ear. A little love we all felt too and dont forget to spread the Aloha.
