Bach Cello Suite No.6 Gavotte/Gigue, Yo-Yo Ma (1982)

[benaiah93]

And I like this interpretation for all the things you guys don't like about it :)

[Divyamp47]

I do like Slava's better, but I can appreciate both; Rostropovich's is very wise and maternal, Ma's is like a child.

Unfortunately it is not on Youtube, but Starker's interpretations of this piece are by far the best in my opinion. So incredibly pure and emotional

everyone do realize that this is younger yo yo ma. he was in his 20's when he recorded this so of course hes gonna mess up just a bit. matured yo yo ma sounds much better but this is still an important recording..

beginning at 0:50 he kinda slows down, otherwise his tempo, though it may seem uneven, if u listen closely he compensates the chords with faster 8th notes.

Good playing! Nice

[blackhearts8]

OMG I fucken hate this fucken FAggot... he is horiible... he fucks every song up?!?!? it is all about Maisly... Fuck you Yo ma ma

[violaplayer1995]

if you hear his "inspired by bach" version it still sounds very similar. when he gets older he breaks the chords differently. amazing anyways. loved it

[TheGENEious]

This one feels choppy, and the tempo is insanely jumpy. I do prefer Maisky's over this.

[master6339]

@TheGENEious i like rostropovich's version

[cdub42]

agreed on the tempo. the 'inspired by bach' versions i feel are much more appropriately paced. it's neat seeing how even a prodigy like yo-yo gets better throughout his life

[Ctmagnus]

I don't need a metronomic performance of the gavottes, in fact dun want one. But having said that, I do with this were a tad slower played.

[midnightsviola525600]

eh... i like maisky's better. his is more flowy and still has a bite. this sounds a little choppy to me

[C0urante]

He needs to be more even with his tempo; it's pointless to go fast in between the chords if when he gets to another he has to slow down as if they're roadblocks.

I don't know...I always thought that Yo-yo Ma played his suites rediculously fast. I like the speed for some, but not for others. I guess that's his interpretation of them...It sounds good for some of them, the gigue in particular. Either way, he's still an amazing cellist!
