- "Classic Yo-Yo Ma" chronicles Ma’s unique work process and legendary performances with rarely seen rehearsal and concert footage from throughout his entire career. In addition to these exquisite musical selections, the program includes newly taped interviews with Yo-Yo Ma and his friends and colleagues Daniel Barenboim, Emanuel Ax, Tan Dun and Bobby McFerrin.
Yo-Yo Ma is world-renowned for his incomparable artistry and range. His discography of nearly fifty albums includes fourteen Grammy Awards. His remarkable talent and limitless interests have created new boundaries for classical music.
The program highlights Ma’s unique ability to explore cultures and musical forms outside the Western classical tradition. His diversity is demonstrated not only through richly nuanced interpretations of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms, but also Piazzolla, Edgar Meyer, American folk music and Tan Dun.
"I feel that when a composer writes a piece of music, he’s translating a human experience into sounds and there can be moments when you are in contact with the experience from which the music came.”

Yo-Yo shows us that music is not about the performer - it’s about life! Thank you so much!
At 70 years old, Yo-Yo Ma is still inspiring me - and making life worth living once again. Gracias = Grace and I thank you every day!
I think so, what i feel same 2 U. god bless u grandma , U still have time feel happiness from this world. A Chinese cello learner here
Yo-Yo Ma. What the hell!. He can come on stage and play nearly 3 hours of Bach's solo cello concertos without sheet music or a conductor and I think, what size brain do you need to have to do that? I mean he's like Einstein but music. And then he's part of a blues grass band! This guy's DNA, his every cell, is music. And then, on top of that he's a wonderful man of the world with diverse backgrounds. He's just an outstanding human being...period.
yes he is
I see the world of science like the music community as Mr. Ma described. Very naive.. and open to unification of human kind. All the best Mr. Ma.

Yo-Yo Ma
This is a interesting video about a world class artist.Yo-Yo Ma is very different from other topp players. If his meening is to get younger artist to think that this is the life you get as an artist,he is wrong. Very few will have the talent and POSSIBILLITIES as he has got. I think he is FANTASTIC! But for me som other artist have given me more….
How can anyone dislike this? His performances are flawless, he loves music, he gets along with everyone. And his patience when teaching and mentoring other people--plus, his name is Yo Yo :)
Obviously born deaf and expected a yoyo demonstration.
Yo means "friend" in Chinese.
Don’t you feel sorry for anyone who ‘dislikes’ such joy in this world? Yo yo is such an inspiration about how to really love life, to find, as he says... magic!
@@BlessAllKC yes correct!
What a wonderful, talented and humble man. We need more artiste like him .
Yes, the best..
This is such a wonderful musician with a great imagination and intellect to go far on the road of music. And he enjoys new approaches - a world musician! Marvellous.
This documentary is such delight for us Yo-Yo Ma fans. Thanks so much!
Fantastic documentary, my respect for Yo Yo ma did nothing but grow seeing him throwing himself wholeheartedly at such an eclectic mix of people and styles, while still having time for 'classical'. It seems like people who mix genres often shy away from the greats (Bach etc.) as somehow 'standard fare' that they need to be liberated from, as opposed to Yo Yo taking the opportunity to see these masterpieces through new, interesting, exciting lenses. I have to say, though, that the whole Mark Morris bit *really* made me clench my fists and grit my teeth. I don't want to see myself as worlds apart from any artist, but everything about him and his work really got my ire up. I hope he's happy, successful, and very far from me.
From the very first time I saw Yo-Yo Ma perform... I have been totally captivated and entranced by his persona and soul-felt musicality. Thank you so much for providing this documentary... it's so valuable. My being soars when I hear him play whatever music genre. He's is truly a gift from the gods, for which I'm totally grateful.
Ternero orejon pero sin giba
Not "from the gods....", From God ONLY
An outstanding biography with charm. A Million Thanks!
Happy 60th birthday, Yo - Yo Ma!
What an incredible musician and documentary. As a professional classical singer, I relate to and understand so deeply what is said in this film. Thank you!!!
Rediscovering Yo-Yo Ma in his early days. I have often heard him at The Toronto Symphony Orchestra at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto Ontario Canada, but have never known his back story. I always assumed he was Canadian, since he has no accent. Along with a great joy, comes a humanity bar none from his music. I listened to his contribution to Biden's campaign, and message to Asian Americans, and I am most grateful that harmony will soon be restored between our 2 great Countries. 🇨🇦🗽🇺🇸
great musician!!! Great personality!!! Wonderful friendships !!! Shoud be played in schools to teach the young how life can be touching in a very positive way.......
Loved him saying he is glad to have known Elmo before he became famous.
Thank you for uploading this great documentary. As expected, we see Yo-Yo Ma among friends, and his friendships take us to the deeply moving and exhilarating musical worlds of the most dedicated artists refining their crafts.
This is the best music lesson ever ! ENJOY WATCHING
So enlightening on many levels. Who'd have thought that breathing control could influence music played on a string instrument, as it does on your preferred instrument. Metaphysically...God breathing out? Makes sense ;-)
He's one of a kind. Unique and radiant. Cloning him would annihilate the magical individuality. As would cloning anybody.
thank you so so much for the fantastic documentary!!!!!
Had a true joy watchging this.
What a musician!
This is so relaxing
JoJo Ma is much more advanced than Jesus. His soul is free from Ego. He is the best cellist in the world and he is a true light bringer.
Greatness, i am crying.
"A good case for cloning" I like that.
Magnifique.
Wow !
An universe treasure, yoyo is.
Tan Dun! Muppets! This was perfect! :)
私は初めてYo-Yo Maさんを知った１９８３年頃の若い貴方を見る👀事が出来とても嬉しかった❣️😊💕💗私のこころをとらえた貴方とチェロ🎻💕は３9年時が経っても決して忘れない😘💕❤️
Sin hay algo por lo que no quiero morir es por la música
Yo-yo Ma....todos los maestros.... gracias... vuestra música expresa más de lo que yo puedo decir con palabras....tiemblo.... todo yo soy.....eso...🎶

Maravilloso!
Yo Yo Ma ...Me place conocerte...eres un genio en todas tus acciones
....un abrazo
Yo-Yo Ma is like the Mr. Rogers of classical music.
Try to hear Yo-Yo Ma play "Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major".. This is my favorite
Yo-yo cello-playing is impeccable and crisp; as is his English... and he’s French?
Yo-Yo Ma is the Bruce Lee of cello
Sí, él debería ser clonado....10 como Yo-Yo Ma....¿ Se imaginan ?
exceptional of course 😇.
这真是传奇的一生啊
马友友是个有智慧的人，你看他的眼神和嘴型已经足够：忠厚宽容童真--上帝很爱这样的人，任何人与他合作，都会感到宁静和舒服
@YoYoMa Hey, YoYo:
Your cello has brought out a person's character and life, and brought out the nobility! After seeing your artwork over the years, I've grown to like the cello -
Greetings from Toronto
🙏友友你好！我嘗試用中文與你交流吧
我開始喜歡大提琴，是因為發現了你的藝術作品，從此我認識了大提琴的高貴。
我夢想有一天，我也能拉一曲Only，並且與你同台演出，因為我不太笨啊
