Like most musicians, Yo-Yo Ma has no ability to talk intelligently about much. That is just the way it is. Cliches are his stock and trade. MTT and Bernstein are great exceptions. Nearly everything Thomas touches, whether in his conducting or his commentary, results in beauty and intelligence.
Lovely interviews, very heartwarming and inspiring. I saw him rehearse Mahler 8 in London and will never forget it. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you for posting this. It is a very interesting interview.
Yes, it is fascinating.
I wish someone could post the Leonard Bernstein concert...
Yeah I'd love to see the first Meditation from Mass played by Yo-Yo Ma . The DVD doesn't work in the UK :(
