Yo-Yo Ma: Elgar Cello Concerto, 4th mvmt

Yo-Yo Ma with Daniel Barenboim and the Chicago SO in this performance from 1997. This concerto will forever be associated with Jaqueline duPre, but YYM gives a performance that is beyond breathtaking. It is fitting that Barenboim is the conductor; I'm sure he feels this concerto is still in very good hands.

@tteu123 Actually you are wrong. It is not his strad as many people have mistaken it for. It is his Montagnana. Cheers mate

@keiferc93 Well, at least it's not cellphone ringtone LOL haha

Audience coughers should be shot on the spot

This concerto must be very special for Barenboim. Especially because, if I'm not mistaken, Yo Yo Ma's playing the cello that once belonged to Jacqueline.

@ihategeorgedubyabush - equally impressive is that Barenboim memorized the WHOLE SCORE! simply stunning.
