Tchaikovsky: Rococo Variations [Yo Yo Ma, violoncello]

[TheTradge]

Fantastic stuff, that last variation just seemed to effortless! Personally, I think he sometimes gets a bit too over-excited, and I reckon as an orchestral musician/conductor it would be a nightmare trying to keep up with him! Who am I to criticise though, he's an utterly incredible cellist, and I can only dream of EVER being as good as he is!

This is great stuff!! :D

Yo Yo Ma was one of the Kennedy Center Honors recepients.

where is the bis?!

[mermew]

Calming to the spirit; played with just the right amount of quiet passion, and excitement at the finale. A veritable treat!

[liavyou]

I love the eyebrow raise at 0:40

[buentecnico]

YO YO MA al realizar sus interpretaciones con esa pasión impresionante y sin leer nada, todo de memoria, hace gala de su increible superioridad sobre cualquiera, tiene el timing preciso, y la fuerza de control equilibrada, exacta, "casi perfecta". Es admirable su dedicación para el dominio del Cello. Alguien sabe el link donde interpreta "El Cellista de Sarajevo"?

[juliethegirrl]

Love his passion.

[ThDV1]

What a gem.

[A3cello]

Yo Yo Ma IS the achetype of the virtuoso...

[needmorebeads]

[XmcmarX]

It's unfortunate you don't include the names of the orchestra and conductor or any information about the varations. Notes like that would make this even more enjoyable. I do appreciate your making this available.

[xbasket12x]

@JHJennings you can find this on Amazon. It's the "Tchaikovsky Gala"

[LegionsOfLegends]

@JHJennings Dude - it's all about the music and having the ability to share the music. Stop worrying about what Fredobel51 put as information on the video and just listen to the beauty of what Yo-Yo Ma and the rest of the crew has to share. Shall we?

[uxnosidda]

@LegionsOfLegends yea, but it's also nice to know who "the rest of the crew" are

[LegionsOfLegends]

@uxnosidda Of course - but don't freak out about it. If you were so anxious to know, you would have the desire to find out - rather than put your troubles on Youtube because it wasn't posted. Just saying.

[JHJennings]

@LegionsOfLegends That's not sufficient. This music is made by many people besides Yo Yo Ma. In fact, he would be the first to give credit to the orchestra and conductor! And stop telling me what to do. Mind your own business!

[xbasket12x]

The best! Amazing
