Years ago, when I was around 12, my parents were at a party and chatting with another couple they hadn't met before. The conversation turned to children, and my mother was doing a little bit of proud bragging about my being a good celloist. Turns out they were talking to Mr. Ma's parents. lol
ooof
Awesome
OUCH! 🤐
can you play twinkle twinkle little star?..LOL
Lol that’s amazing!
And god whispers through a man and his cello.
I think that's true. What an extraordinary performance. I listened to this after a particularly jarring day. It soothed my soul so I could drift off to sleep. Bravo Yo Yo Ma.
What a great way to frame the beauty you heard. Thanks for the gift. ☮️
I will be forever grateful for my high school boyfriend, Eric. He was a cellist, and he introduced me to the music of Yo-Yo Ma. After high school, another friend and I went to a dress rehearsal at Abravenal Hall in Salt Lake City, and I got to meet Yo-Yo before he performed with the Utah Symphony. The picture I took did not turn out well, but I treasure it - always - based on the memory of meeting the most personable and skilled cellist this world might ever know.
Lucky you ❤️🇨🇦!
Nice
thank you for sharing this memory
For anyone wondering, Yo-Yo is playing on his Stradivarius, the same one that was played by Jaqueline Du Pre. In his similar performance on presidential inauguration video, he is playing on his Montagnana (a wider cello with more bass-like qualities). These are his 2 main cellos he plays on. He also has 2 modern cellos.
I didn't know Stradivarius made anything but violins. Interesting.
@@margo3367 Same here.
The amount of emotion in his face as he plays each note is incredible, thats a man who has a deep love and appreciation for every aspect of the music he plays
To some ppl it’s all we got. 💜🎺
Just frickin' wow. And probably the centuries old Stradivarius. If you watch the Zeppelin kennedy Center Honors you will see Yo Yo bouncing his head along with a grin on his face. Truly a great human being.
THE MASTER!!!!!!!
That was beautiful and powerful. To watch his face as he expressed each note with emotion was wonderful.
I agree, his face shows absolute pleasure. Gorgeous and talented man...
You're a Beautiful spirit, fly free and know that love follows you miss❤️✌️
@@wonderyearsdouche475 Thanks for your kind words.
I once was lost, but now, am found.
Was blind, but now I see.
Yo-Yo Ma makes the cello sing
To think we are alive at a time of a true by definition, virtuoso of his instrument.
There is no doubt that he may be (or at least among the) greatest cello players ever.
He is
You give the world hope with your statement.
Thank you. ☮️🌠
Yo-Yo Ma rules!
If music be the food of love...play on. Yes.
Captain Holt is so happy right now.
0:09 Simple Gifts -- American spiritual
0:53 Amazing Grace
1:39 "Going Home", from Antonin Dvorak's Symphony No. 9 in E Minor "New World Symphony"
Thank 👍
Classical musician here, casually crying listening to this. There's a reason this man is a legend.
Yes! The world needs more of this right now. Just beautiful!
Oh it tears me up....
Thank you Yo Yo Ma! Thank you Stephen and Family
His elegance enriches our lives.
Yo Yo Ma is one with his cello and emotion. ☺️
I’ve never understood the hype but he just made me cry, So much raw emotion in his playing. I wish I’d listened properly sooner. I was listening on my crummy phone speakers too.
If you liked it, listen to the original, Dvorak Symphony #9 2nd movement (here referenced as "Going Home", which is just lyrics which were later added to the original). It's a very emotional piece. The "Celibidache, Münchner Philharmoniker, 1991" version on youtube is especially nice. It's always been a favourite of mine, but now it conjures up more emotions than it ever used to for me.
If you’re interested, NPR Music had a piece on “American Anthems” which discussed Going Home.
you should watch some of his interviews. he is one of those cool, chill, and down to earth people who also explains things in an easy to understand manner.
Thank you
What a treat from an American treasure.
Twoset really made me really appreciate musicians like Yo-Yo Ma
He was a guest at a restaurant i was serving at once for breakfast. He was so polite and friendly. No attitude, all smiles. He ordered scrambled eggs 🌞
You are so very lucky
My mom, sister, and I saw him perform at University of Wisconsin - Parkside in the late '70s. I really didn't want to go as the weather was crap and I didn't feel well. But my mom insisted that it was too important to miss. This was probably due to my sister playing the cello, and I played the violin. He's only ten years older than I am. Perhaps she was trying to give us inspiration. I only know that I'm glad I went and will never forget it. Sometimes now it still feels like I dreamt it.
I got tears. Genius.
Most moving amazing grace is ever heard
Ending on the natural harmonics. Badass.
This man is a legend
brought me to tears!!! THIS is an ARTIST!!!
@Juragan Muda that's all fine and well, food art is art too!!! (but having lived in Thailand 8 1/2 yrs, i prefer Thai street food)
It was close your eyes and let the music take you away, material.
@yoyomamusic007 I bet that's what you tell all the girls.
He's a legend. Very talented. Also a good friend of Mr. Rogers.
That final harmonic - gorgeous.
Wow. Just stunning. Yo-Yo just rings so much emotion out of his cello. Amazing.
Still the planets’ greatest cellist ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful!
Magic...
He's a national treasure.
Beautiful music!
I'm not crying, you're crying.
He is a one-man-orchestra.Incredibly touching.
Gosh...... the man’s an international treasure. What a blessing. 💜
YoYo Ma~
Thank you for a much needed touch of beauty & light. ✨
That was hauntingly beautiful. Good to see he's certainly not lost his touch!
Thank you so much Stephen Colbert for putting this up.
Truly a master of his craft. Incredible gift for us.
Why can I like only one time??!
And also heavily sprinkled with motifs found in Largo in The Symphony No. 9 "From the New World" by Antonin Dvorak
Love Dvorak ‘cello concerto too. Not quoted here, but he was an ‘amazing’ composer.
The double notes!
One of Dvorak's students, William Arms Fisher, put words to the longing melody from the second movement. He called the new song, "Goin' Home," and had it published 1922. Fisher died in 1948, but the song lived on.
@@chrisandersen5635 'Amazing' comment ❤️🇨🇦!
That's actually the 'Going Home' mentioned in the title. It was a song set to that tune by one of Dvorak's students in America.

I can hardly breathe when I hear him playing. The emotion is too great. I also cry.
Amazing….. somehow, it just tugs your heart ❤️. And I am the type of person that have no musical talent whatsoever…..
Wow! Powerfully moving Thank You Sir
Such a gem
spiritually sublime..............
Yo Yo Ma is a national treasure
Perfection.
So thankful. I have very few peak experiences to share since I have lived a very shut-in life during COVID. Mr. Ma has given me soul sustaining connection. Merci!!
The only thing amazing about god's grace is that people believe it.
Yo- Yo Ma is awesome. And he's real.
Outstanding excellent music
A big thank you!!
Sublime.
Love u Yo-Yo
This is beautiful music from a Master of his craft. Thank you for a wonderful performance.
My favourite of Yo Yo Ma's has always been Bach's Cello Suite 1 in G Major.
This guy is legendary. 😍😍😍😍 Thanks so much for having him on
So talented. So beautiful.
The Sound of Unspeakable Beauty! 🎻
And this is why he is one of our greatest musicians.
Exactly
I am so in love with watching his face while he plays!
He touches my heart
Beautiful!!! Bravo! Bravo!!
We used 'Going Home' (Antonín Dvořák) at my dad's funeral, this cello piece had me in tears !
Yo Yo MA is AMAZING.
Quite wonderful.
That performance was the definition of the word "Sublime"
Why? What was it about it that made you type that?
@@matbroomfield You don't explain those feelings. They just are.
@@godfreypigott I disagree. I could deconstruct any piece of music or video that I love and explain precisely why they produce a reaction, right down to the tempo's interaction with my heartbeat, or the effect that the base has upon my body, or the way that soaring notes produce a feeling of floating freedom.
@@matbroomfield Well aren't you special. Most people don't talk like that.
@@godfreypigott Most people don't think deeply at all. I'm not most people. So yes, I am special. Thanks for noticing.
Wow.
I was going to say, "that's simple gifts, not amazing grace" but I got there...
Yeah, it was Simple Gifts, a little Amazing Grace, and the last part is Dvorak Symphony #9 2nd movement (later adapted with lyrics as the hymn "going home")
4 dislikes as of 9hrs after this vid was uploaded? How can anybody dislike this? Something wrong with these people. Sheez.
I just watched and thought the same thing!
Same people that would thumbs down a chocolate bar and puppies
Just absolutely am in awe of Yo Yo Ma and his gift.
I don't often listen to the music guests on the show but for Yo-Yo Ma, I'll happily make an exception. I love solo cello music probably more than most solo instrumental music and to hear a master play is always special. I was lucky enough to hear Mischa Maisky in concert in my home town a few years ago when he played with the WASO and that was incredible. Always looking forward to the next concert :)
Aaahhh.... thank you.
At least we can live comfortably he will be alive another 30 or more years
When I first Yo Yo Ma performing live with his cello back in 1989, I thought that his day-job was playing guitar for a hair-metal band because his hair was much, much longer back then.
Everytime I watch YoYoMa playing I'm not sure who will start crying first - me, or him.
Truly an amazing man. It brought tears to my eyes. Beautiful
So beautiful. Thank you YoYo Ma znd The Colbert Report 🙏🌄🦋😊
Maximumum #CelloFace. Respect.
It made me cry. The pandemic in a song
double stops to my heart, I love this man. he re-inspired me to play 20 years ago and continues to inspire.
I was blessed to have a mom that taught me all kinds of music. I ache that she didn't see this thank you #Colbertcool 😭😭😭😭
Yo Ma-Ma. 🙂
I was lucky enough to hear him play in person at a concert years ago. He is simply the best & his interpretations never fail to move me.
Thank you thank you so much for the beautiful performance! I teared up hearing it, and now i'm staring at the ceiling. Thinking.
That was amazing like a yo-yo ma!
😉☺️ it truly was beautiful!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
most people don't know this but Yo-Yo ma is actually the name of the cello
Thank you for having him, Stephen. If heaven exists, every corner of it will be filled with this man's music. Or at least that's how heaven would be, if I'd been the one creating it.
I don't know why hearing this music make me cry.
He's terrific.
Yes. Just yes.
This was so beautiful I watched it twice last night. Now I am back for another viewing. I want to know which trolls gave this a thumbs down?
Feels so fluttery 🥰🥰
I hope to one day be out of this pandemic to see Mr. Yo Yo Ma in concert. Truly an inspiration and his music is a shining light in these dark times ❤️
Touches my soul! Thank you for the beautiful music!
