Songs from the arc of life

Description

Each new recording by Yo-Yo Ma is a global event! He is undoubtedly, and since the passing of the late Mstislav Rostropovich, the greatest cellist today, still at the peak of his career. At the height of his art, he offers us a nearly exhaustive collection of the most beautiful pieces for his instrument or commonly transcribed for cello and piano. After the essential Swan by Saint-Saëns, the wonderful Ave Maria by Bach and Schubert, the indispensable After a Dream by Fauré, the subtle Salut d'amour by Elgar, Yo-Yo Ma invites us to discover magnificent pieces by Dvorak, Grieg, Sibelius, or Gershwin, among others. He is, as always, accompanied by his wonderful pianist Kathryn Stott, with whom he has already offered us the most beautiful pages of his immense discography. Yo-Yo Ma at the Philharmonie de Paris on September 3rd with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Conductor: Andris Nelson - Strauss: Don Quixote, for solo cello & orchestra.
