  • You can hear this piece with greater orchestras and greater conductors. But you never will hear it better played, not talking the virtuosity he how he plays, but his immersion in the music which made this performance better than anything I heard.

  • Maestro Pablo Casals passed away many years ago but his influence is forever present. It forces participants to play with added enthusiasm. It is a welcomed "chain reaction" !!

  • I love how Ma engages with the orchestra, eye contact, smile, exchanging thoughts. It's like a big wonderful game.

  • This is the Puerto Rico Symphony.

  • NO WORDS!!!!! Absolutly awesome!!

  • il finale è assolutamente fantastico! brividi

  • I prefer Rostropovich. Good performance, nonetheless.

  • Yo Yo Ma and his cello playing is such a gift from God to this world.

  • @Philboy50 Hopefully you are just an ignorant joker, because anybody who can say something like you said about how masterfully Maestro Ma played to concerto and engaged with the Orchestra has some sort of mental issue.

  • Magic

  • Interpretation? Who cares! I had goosebumps the whole way through. This is a soloist doing exactly what a soloist should be doing - pouring his heart and soul into the music he's performing. Bravo! (Thank you YTM for uploading this! :)

  • @Philboy50 I highly doubt that you could play it .1% as well as Yo-Yo Ma. In my opinion, this might be the greatest piece of music ever written. I think he plays it with the perfect amount of swagger: exactly what this piece beckons for. Shame on you.

  • @adriantween584 Please use the thumbs down to properly record your dislike !

  • @Philboy50 Have some respect. This is one of the hardest cello concerto's around. Maybe you should just appreciate the fact that he's human. I know there are better interpretations - but you are a being hard to please. It seems that he does rush a few parts, but can you imagine how nervous he is on stage with such a hard part to play?
