A number of years ago, my husband was so ill in a hospital in Paris. When I left at the end of the day, I went to the Cite de la Musique and heard you and the Silk Road Ensemble play and felt such comfort and uplift. Later the two of us were so happy to hear you at the Theatre de Champs Elysées together. And less than a year ago, he passed away and again i am being comforted by your generous heart and kind music. Thank you. Mahalo and aloha.
Thank you for leaving this comment! I am so touched by your comment. I am sorry that your husband passed away and hope you take good care and continue enjoying the journey with great music:)
Brilliant. When I was a child, I first saw Mr Ma on Sesame Street. It was then that I fell in love with violoncello. Mr Ma introduced me to the love-of my life. I thank you every day.
Quiero expresar mi gratitud a este excelente músico, ha creado belleza y ha despertado emociones con su maravillosa música. Sus creaciones han sido un faro en nuestras vidas y una fuente de inspiración inagotable. Gracias Maestro.❤❤❤
This has always been a favorite of mine. Listening to it (or humming off-key) never fails to center me, bringing me back to a more peaceful state of mind. Who better to do that than Yo-Yo Ma, a masterful cellist?
Without disregarding the weight born by HCWs, I also heard his words as “thank you (anyone and everyone listening) for your kindness to me and to yourself” … A musician’s craft is fulfilled when it reaches the audience. And it takes calm and gratitude and peace of mind to be able to listen through the piece.
your music brought me light during my darkest times, and I wish that my work may bring something to others as well. I'll try my best. Thank you for being such a treat for ears, hearts and souls.
Thank you Sir! I use to play this tune on the flute for my Mother. She very much loved this tune. I have not played it since She passed many years ago. Hearing you play this has brought back lost memories of Her. Thank you very much for bringing those memories back.
I don't know why, but his "Thank you" at the end always makes me want to cry. It feels so genuine and appreciative. He really seems like he's happy we just listened to him perform.
No, thank you! Genuinely, string instruments are keys to the heart, mind and soul; like God Himself is talking to our very beings. Your hands so delicately playing is so soothing, like I could fall asleep…. Far better than any television. If I ever get a penny I want you to teach me how to play like that, I am implored by the sound. Bows to you. 😘😘😘😊😇
So restful. Thank you thank you. After 2 years of mostly working from home and greatly reducing all interactions, I am exhausted. This is what saves me.
Your "Thank you," at the end touched me somehow. Thank YOU, Yo-Yo, for bringing your delightful music to the world all these years. I am a violinist, but I know several cellists, so I can't help feeling close to your instrument
Thank you so much for these videos! It is such a wonderful experience to be able to log onto UA-cam and hear one of the world's greatest musicians playing some of the world's most beautiful music. You make my life better.
Saw this while watching Thich Nhat Hanh's funeral. Thank you, a beautiful and suiting tribute to all the workers of the world who devote their lives to other peoples' health--physical ,and spiritual.
That is very kind of you. Thanks. It does sound like a song of comfort. And you did it for the healthcare workers. They are important. My name is not important.
As one matures into "Elderly" mode, we begin to enjoy immensely the rich sounds and resonance of the Cello, especially simple compositions under such a Talent. Bravo!
Thank you, kind sir, for enriching our lives with this wondrous gift! May your heart be light, your worries be few, and may good fortune ever smile on you!

Tank you mestro for sharing your gift. You make our world (our troubled world) a better place.
How intimate a recording! Wonderful. No swoopy mountain top background or frothy oceans. Just the artistic in his space.
from this nurse to you, a sincere thank you for this gift I will take with me today as I work.
HE is saying thank you to US? I'm so grateful this man is part of our world!
No…thank you, generous, talented soul🙏🏼💜✨🎶God bless you☮️
Dang it - Why do I tear up every time I hear him play this song?!
Thank you too. God Bless and keep you safe.🎼🖤
He’s thanking the healthcare workers, not the rest of us. It’s awfully sweet that we get to watch too.
Ethereal playing. Many many thanks.
Without disregarding the weight born by HCWs, I also heard his words as “thank you (anyone and everyone listening) for your kindness to me and to yourself” …
A musician’s craft is fulfilled when it reaches the audience.
And it takes calm and gratitude and peace of mind to be able to listen through the piece.
Oh my heart with your Thank You..no THANK YOU ..lovely way to start my day.
your music brought me light during my darkest times, and I wish that my work may bring something to others as well. I'll try my best. Thank you for being such a treat for ears, hearts and souls.
Zomer, just do what you love to do... the rest will follow!
Such generous hearts, both the musician and the commenter
This man is a treasure!
Thank you Sir! I use to play this tune on the flute for my Mother. She very much loved this tune. I have not played it since She passed many years ago. Hearing you play this has brought back lost memories of Her. Thank you very much for bringing those memories back.
Thank you once again, Yo Yo Ma. This has to be some of the most amazing sounds to be heard by human ears.
So lovely. I play the Cello at school and I’m in grade 8.
My father passed away last week. Thank you.
The simplest gift is the best. Thank you.
I don't know why, but his "Thank you" at the end always makes me want to cry. It feels so genuine and appreciative. He really seems like he's happy we just listened to him perform.
That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gift. ❤
Herzlichen Dank für dieses Geschenk 🙏🏻
Hit repeat four times in a row - only wish it could keep going. My day is complete only having just started
