I am from Alaska and I have deep indigenous ancestry here, (settler and indigenous) and I would never call any other place in this world in my home, though I am well traveled. This piece moved my heart, and the way it was presented is a beautiful remark and statement upon the way it has changed, even from when I was a child. Thank you, Yo-Yo Ma and everyone who made this happen, I am grateful for our home to be shown in such a bittersweet beautiful way. I have been a fan of yours since the early PBS days from childhood.
This is very powerful synthesis of the beauty of music and the power of the cause. Thank you, Yo-Yo Ma for making this planet a better place to live on!

Yoyo Ma inspired me to learn the violin at age 9 before I even knew his name… thanks to a school field trip to listen to him… all by himself at the Guzman Hall in downtown Miami…over 50 years ago..he is truly an amazing treasure to humanity
@NeonMyloXyloto Thank you for the information I've followed YoYo for many years. My children would hear a Led Zeppelin album playing and next a Yo Yo compilation. Both pleased them 😊 They've developed a love for classical music in general, which pleases me. And now my grandchildren are also listening. Although I have not seen him in person unfortunately, he has been instrumental (pun intended) in making classical music available to people who may not have been interested in that particular genre of music, in a way few others have. I sigh when I hear him play, sort of like exhaling the days trials and just listening to a master.
@@rhijulbec1I love reading posts like this. My parents introduced me to Bolero, The Music Man, Muddy Waters and ELO all in the same week when we got a new stereo. I was 3 1/2 at the time and I just turned 50 and I still remember hearing that music for the first time. It opened my mind to all music not just what was playing on the radio. Those are some of my favorite memories. And I bet those are some of your kids favorite memories too.❤
The d minor prelude is solemn, dark, melancholic, introspective, and mournful. By the end, it also refreshes the spirit and for that I am grateful to J.S. Bach for this music.
When I was a baby my mom said yo yo ma was the only thing that would relax me. Now I sit here holding my second child finding she was right it lulls him to sleep so peacefully.
THANK YOU SO MUCH YO-YO MA! I’m Alaskan native, and my family is from lower tanana! I appreciate that you came to alaska! I’ve been a fan of your work for a few years and it truly makes me happy that you came to alaska :) happy earth day 🌎 🌱
@@CatyBee This is one aspect of of music and the filters of perception I suppose. Depending on circumstances it triggers different emotions in/ has different meanings for/ gives different things to different people.
@@CatyBee No. Thanks. This might be right for you. I actually do not share this view on things. I rather decide for myself what I want and need and what not.
@@CatyBee I can relate to that. I too attempted to be empathetic and nice in a lot of different ways. A lot of the times only to find out that things don't work the way I thought they do.
Thank you Yo Yo,along the same lines a young organist has been going around rural churches in England and playing the organ.Ben Maton plays with all his heart just like Yo Yo and honors the places and people and prayers that were sent up over the centuries.We need to honor these sacred places and no better way than to bring back music to these areas.
As if we have been there before, no matter how dark or heavy; we will go through again no matter how crazy or brutal it is now. Dear Ma yo-yo, you shed some light and hope for us through reflection of past. Mother Earth hears you, she knows there are many beautiful souls still. Thank you!
Yo-Yo Ma is amazing. That is such not enough way to explain this performance, where he played it, and why he did it. Why he did this for us. Thank you so so much!
Yo-Yo Ma’s exquisite playing of Bach’s Prélude from Suite No. 2. A beautiful but haunting landscape. Thank you for raising awareness about environmental issues in Alaska.
Although your hair color has changed, your beautiful music is still as youthful and beautiful as ever. Thank you for bringing beautiful colors to this world.😊
Yo-yo Ma ha logrado interpretar el sentir, de los días grises y fríos que vive nuestro planeta, a través del preludio N° 2 de Bach...no es una casualidad en él, haber elegido Alaska y su frío para reflejar una cierta deseperanza😢 me encantó su interpretación maestro!
The land appears to me to be clearcut, and trying to regrow. The living things here- with this music everyday - feels like sacred encouragement to grow and grow.
I found so creative this interpretation of a deep composition from Bach in the midst of a gray tree trunks' bed, with the unique expression of Yo Yo Ma, within the global sadness of what is happening in the world. It reminds me THE PIANIST when he started to play in the aftermath of the war, that scene, that face. The Princess' message is the cherry on top. Thanks, Yo Yo Ma 🩶💚🍀🍀
Absolutely stunning! Your episode on The West Wing is still one of my absolute favorites and my parents are big fans. I'm gonna send this to them right away!
Bach, prelude, You, nature of Alaska ... Great performance dear Yo Yo. Wonderful! Amazing! Enjoed your palaying and Bach... Thank you both:) God bless You! My full support! Sub! and best regards!
Absolutely marvelous! We will likely not/never know the answer to this thought experiment…but wildlife have ears, I wonder how this melody translates to them, I did notice a bird go by and audibly in the 2:30 mark… could it be responding to the music? 🤔🧐
Esos árboles muertos...este Preludio, como un rezo... esta interpretación desde el alma... siento la mano sanadora del arte para salvar a este planeta...Gracias Maestro Yo-Yo Ma...

What hurts my heart is the fact that he might only be with us for a few years. He inspired me to play cello. He is the reason I finished a level 8 exam in cello from playing for only 2 and a half years. ( I did have experience with the piano though) I hope he continues to bless us with beautiful music
Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤🙏 I have a question, though, as to how the recording was made, outdoors, with only the sound of the instrument being recorded? My guess is a contact microphone on the back of the instrument… Help, please? 🙏 And all the best to everyone who was a part of this project! ❤❤❤

My daughter in 4 th grade got his autograph after a concert in Toledo Ohio. She took up the violin and now as an adult she plays very well.
The prelude of Bach's suite 2 is one of Yo Yo Ma's first piece he ever performed on stage when he was little

As soon as this started I completely relaxed. Almost all of the tension left my body.... Thank you!
Magnificent. Handsome birch set in the beauty and mystery of Aladka . Thank you for your music.

I love Yo Yo Ma’s connection to nature. A truly beautiful performance
Pure beauty…
magnifique , on EARTH DAY, thank you 🙏
@Yoyomamusic007 thank you so much, wonderful to read you 🙏 your music makes everybody feel good
So relaxing listening to the beauty of this masterpiece, especially performed by Yo-Yo Ma, who is one with both music and nature.
Thank you for reminding me that there is still so much beauty in our humanity.
Places us as part rather than apart from Nature. Thank you❤😊

The depth of that cello is astounding.
Beautiful performance Yo Yo. Moving and embracing.
Beyond beautiful I'm still stoked and privileged to have seen Ma perform Bach in NZ 2019 (seems like just the other day not 5 years AGO)

I started watching him play violin on PBS since I was 5. Don't really look too deep into this kind of music, but even I know he's an amazing musician.
What an awesome place, performance and person!
Yo-Yo!!! You're a rockstar! Exquisite. Thank you
Unmatched beauty of the nature, Bach and talented musician. What more can you ask for in the name of heavenly divine…
Obrigado pela sua música que traz um sentimento nobre de empatia e fraternidade.

Thank you for being amazing Ccilia would Llke to taIk more better the first

Magnífico, sublime y enternecedor...
Amazing performance. The precision and clarity matches the whimsical movements of the environment perfectly. This is as good as cello gets.
Exquisite, I learned to play this a few years back. I must go back and find it again, this music and Yo Yo’s playing is an homage to being human.
Alaska might be the most beautiful place on Earth
Las cosas más hermosas de la vida, la música ❤
Mr. Bach, you make this world divine!
Beautiful..Thank you so much 🫂💖

Two things I love - my home and Yo-Yo Ma's playing. I would have loved to met him when he was here, better to have been sitting there while he played!
