Bach Goldberg Variations "Aria", Yo-Yo Ma, Ton Koopman

[NOLAFILES]

What an incredibly juxtoposed arrangement - a cello singing this infamous Bach harpsichord aria theme, supported by the airy flute pipes of the organ he mastered ... how exquisite. Sweet musica.

the picture looks like a watermelon slice.

is this a cello or viola da gamba?

[palmoman]

@zouna87 yo yo ma is playing the cello like the viola da gamba in that he removed the centre pin and allows the cello to rest on his calfs, with his legs slightly crossed. This was the traditional posture. He described it as becoming more intimate playing.

Heavenly. Thanks a lot.

I love this movement, and yes, Ma and Koopman are awesome together. I'd also love to hear a recording with Pieter Wispelwey. I wonder if he's done the Variations before...

this would be really good on violin

I thing I have died and gone to heaven. Yo-Yo and Ton.  It doesn't get any better than that.
