What a laid back position when playing!

[sam4cello126]

The reason people clap when he starts playing is because it's Yo Yo Ma. The worlds best cellist, and the prelude he is playing is considered the most well known cello piece ever written. So having the worlds best player play the prelude (in CARNEGIE HALL) is like never seen before. I wish i could at least see hhim for real and even play with him.

[hassaine]

Unimpressive!

[winrx]

Is he really good friends with the principal cellist or is he just being patronizing? And yes, I think he is one of the most overrated musicians today and also one of the more vulgar and distasteful ones around.....

[Maazel456]

@winrx You have no musical taste, to be honest. If you honestly believe Yo Yo Ma, world renowned cellist, is vulgar and distasteful, how could you appreciate any music? My dad has played with Yo Yo Ma, personally witnessing how talented he is. Yo Yo Ma is an amazing cellist.

[wagnerviolist]

@winrx WHY do you say this? Take your time to answer.

[Derrymaine148]

@winrx I don't think anyone would want to patronize vienna philarmonic's principal cellist

[hobbitgnr]

Why people clap when he starts playing? This is not a Lady Gaga concert.

[rapter9800]

@hobbitgnr it's probably the encore.

[hobbitgnr]

@rapter9800 Yes but is not courtly to do it.

[paclos29]

Yo Yo Ma is so disgusting, he should stop playing cello. I so hate when he sits like he is tired of playing cello, then STOP playing it !!.

Rostropovich should kick your ass stupid Yo Yo

@paclos29

The second that you can play better than Yo Yo ma then you can talk!

[davidhan96]

I love how he sits BACK as if he was watching a movie while playing the Bach Prelude.

[christophbell2]

@davidhan96 I think that is nice, given the relaxed nature of the piece. He is playing it as if to entertain himself and no one else. Just lounging about, on a relaxing day, picking up your instrument, and playing some nice music as you watch the world go 'round.

[davidhan96]

@christophbell2 He is quite a musician! A great one, I must say.

[Mizzles240]

this was after a concert i presume? what did he play?

[TheStockwell]

@Mizzles240 Well, in this video he's playing Bach (Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major, BWV 100 -/Prélude). The full concert was Brahms "Tragic Overture," the Schumann 'Cello concerto (with Ma), and, after intermission, Dvorak Symphony Nr.9 "From the New World" - sort of a Big Deal since the work was premiered at Carnegie.

[Mizzles240]

@TheStockwell that is an INCREDIBLE program. must have been a blast. I recently saw him play rococo variations, it was out of this world.

[pbaron23]

where wa the concert?

[TheVeronoffReport]

@pbaron23 It was at the Carnegie Hall in nyc

[gantermunchen]

素晴らしい!!!
