Kudos to Condoleezza Rice for finding the time in her busy career to keep her chops up at a level that she can share the stage with renowned dedicated musician like Yo-Yo Ma. Condoleezza Rice’s career in public service is already amazing but to be able to play piano at a high-level on top of that is extraordinary.
Condoleezza is amazing in whatever she does. Wow! She was so humble referring to this accompaniment as "not because I was a world class pianist, its just that I happen to be the former Secretary of State".
so much respect for her and what she has accomplished
Two magnificently talented people. What a wonderful performance.
Awesome! She is an inspiration
As a clarinet player, this gives me a whole new perspective
Exceptional.
What a fantastic performance!!! You can never achieve perfection just aim for it. I think the hall was a bit dry but what a lovely performance. Imagine performing with one of the best Cellists in the World. 👏🙌🏴
Really enjoyed listening this. Great combination for our happiness from our pleasant ears and hearts ♥️
Bravo!!!!
Wow good job you two!
I'm no pro recording engineer, but the mic-ing and mixing is horrible. I've never heard a real piano and cello sound like so plasticky and artificial...
Totally agree
Agreed
omg agreed!! WHY is the cello so damn loud? Piano is so vague it sounds like it's being played in the room next door
I had no idea that Condleeza Rice was a pianist!!!
Did you know that the president of France is also a pianist?
German chancellor Helmut Schmidt was a pianist too.
classically trained
danke
I quit performing at my church when they kept micing my cello like this. It makes it so hard to get good sound out.
🙄🙄🙄 You should be so lucky to even have had a sound to be heard...
In my church's orchestra, the sound guys only had mics over the brass and woodwind but none to pick up our small string section. It was almost like a joke. 🤔
Technically it's a horrible recording though both of them are perfect performers. But one should not forget Steven Isserlis who has a perfectly thoughtful and romantic access to that piece which I personally prefer by far.
Wow 👌
avec douceur ....

mes amitiés a rebecca .
She would have been a good president & that's why she could never be one.
Dang! You go Dr. Condi Rice! Run for president please, nothing but crap candidates out there now!
This is great but I can barely hear Condoleezza. It sounds like the mic was inside the cello. Too bad nobody checked the mix beforehand. I love to hear the two of them playing again but with the microphone situation a lot better. Thanks
Still a better performance than the Iraq War.
Yes.. let's not forget.
YO-YO MOMMA AND A WAR CRIMINAL on the pianahhhhh. lolllll what a sheetshow
I can hardly hear the piano.
Interesting! Glad to see a collaboration between two fine people of different political persuasion! However, as stated in a number of earlier comments, the balance in this recording is horrible and Kennedy Center should have done a better job presenting this performance to the TH-cam audience.
I like Mr. Ma's take on the piece, but he does sound like he's be a challenge to follow, especially sitting sort-of behind Dr. Rice. They do their best to telegraph intentions, and the ensemble is really rather good. As others have noticed, the recording isn't as good as the performance.
The cello completely drowns out the sound of the piano; Ma is sitting too close to the piano and microphone so the piano part is totally lost. This just never happens with Brahms!
Even with the terrible mic placement and mixing, you have to admit Yo-Yo is all over the place in this performance.
Probably didn't care too much and was just having a good (?) time :')
She's not a pro, but should have mic-ed her better.
It's as if Ma is reading off Rice's score. And why is the balance so cello-dominant? The lid is even up all the way. He needs to come out of her space, both physically and musically. And she shouldn't be so intimidated by him.
Possibly, but the microphone positions must be taken into account as well.
The microphone placement is absolutely dreadful as is the mixing
She is only there to accompany him he is the focus in this piece.
Maybe, she is not his heart friend-
the cello is overpowering the piano
bravo! ....and nowadays - anyone in the Trump administration who can at least READ music?
Surely not anyone in the Trump family
You are an ignoramus. Ms. Rice never served in the Trump administration. The current president, by contrast, can’t read a teleprompter and shakes hands with empty space.

I get you, bro... I can just Imagine what you're saying
@@arnaudnganji2536 my english not good
i lost when i see : get . got . had . have . has
i dnt know why u use this words ?
Nice, but is this what she was playing when her boss started the Iraq invasion?
Dirty trick to inject politics this way. Shame!
@@KenLClar The fact that the pianist is a war criminal, is not political.
@@343ramana surely you jest you do realize dickey boy ran the show..the bully on the block for haliburton
and?
Lol this is just terrible
The recorded sound is awful. Never heard Ma sound like this. As for Rice, too many clams. Way too many.
Disjointed and awkward. Like helping a two year old walk up stairs.
