You Yo MA was the only international musicien who let me this so deep impression during a masterclass: never agressiv, resuming kindly to the pupil what he had say, never "arrogant ou blessant", always carefully about his pupil, never "making the show", always true and so so so intelligent!!! He talks to the heart directly! Wonderfull person!

      "Slowly speaking, speaking passionately; a perfect combination, complementing each other; the voice of heaven, as tender as water; cleansing the soul, refreshing and happy. The charm of music will make you convinced. I listened to it at least eight times in a row. The starting sound captures your heart at once, and the ending sound is so wonderful, with lingering lingering notes👍"

      Let me give it a try to translate my own comment:
      The story of Nativity is told slowly and wholeheartedly. A perfect duet compliments each other. The sound from Heaven is as soft as water. It so cleanses the soul that you feel refresh and tranquil. You simply cannot resist the awe that music brings to you. I listened to it at least eight times in a row. It catches my heart with cello's first note, while that last beautiful note lingers in the air for a long long time.

    People like Yo-yo Ma and what they offer to the world are a testament to the beauty in Creation and God's gift of music. "Bach gave us God's word. Mozart gave us God's laughter. Beethoven gave us God's fire. God gave us Music that we might pray without words." This is such simple music by both Bach and Gounod, but so incredible nonetheless. We're so lucky to live in a world where we can listen to music like this with a few simple clicks of a little desktop device.

    The hidden mathematical genius of Bach's keyboard Prelude in C Major coupled with Gounod,'s emotional Ave Maria played so powerfully by Yo Yo Ma is a fantastic confluence of true genius. Rises to one of the best UA-cam has to offer, and IMO well worth the modest monthly subscription fee to listen commercial free.

I began to approaching the pieces while in University studies. That was in 1969 or 1970, at the Temple Theatre with the Tacoma Symphony Orchestra. Wonderful motivation for me, a young musician-just like Yo Yo! I spent 21 years as a High School Band Director. It was my purpose to have my young musicians play their instruments with the characteristic sounds each should produce. It was a most inspirational accomplishment, for them, and their director.

    I want to send this Ave Maria music for my friend who lived in Germany. She passed away my birthday's in July, we were very good friends over 50 years. She could not see her any family who lived in Japan when she die. However, her nice boyfriend took care of her well.
    I wish she could see her all family over the Ave Maria's world.

    Yo Yo Ma came to my elementary school in Boulder Colorado to do a concert and I got to shake his hand. Even then in the 3rd grade, I knew I was shaking hands with an important person to humanity. Felt this same feeling when I met Jane Goodall at CU later on in my childhood.

    This performance is the embodiment of art. The tenor, always being in the shadow of the melody, is finally given his gloomy spotlight. The soprano serenades her companion in harmony. This is the classical equivalent of the modern romance duet.

      PERFORMANCES like this don't get the recognition they deserve. When I was a child, the biggest show on TV regularly featured classical performances. Ed Sullivan created stars in the classical world like Maria Callas. Has this performance been broadcast on the Ed Sullivan Show in, say, 1957, these two artists would have rocketed to national recognition - yes, even Asian-American YoYo. What do we have of that impact - no disrespect, UA-cam - today?
