Yo Yo Ma performing "Appalachia Waltz", composed by Mark O'Connor

[corenjmeeks]

I've been listening to this song years and never realized it was a solo. Ma plays so well I couldn't tell the difference until I watched this video. He truly is the greatest cellist who ever lived.

See "Charlei Rose" Nov. 23, 2001 "Conversation with Yo-Yo Ma' which had a conversation about his Silk Road CD asian music. This performance was at the end of the interview.

If I were the composer, I'd be ecstatic that someone as gifted as Yo-Yo- Ma chose to play my piece, to perfection.

[SuperRumpelstiltskin]

@MrDkeri2 Actually , it wasn't.

[Craghacker]

@MrDkeri2 Yeah, but its comments like that these that beg to be trolled sadly enough. I dont believe in superstition, but you really did jinx it!
