    I'm doing well at work, smiling with my family, and doing well on the outside. But in fact, a month has passed since the relationship ended while trying to protect a difficult partnership to regain the lost love. I endure every day with great psychological anxiety and internal pain of personal separation. Then I met this video, and little by little, my mind came back to reality and I am finding stability. Thanks a lot. I'll live well again.

      Great testimonies! Triumph over wickedness is the song our bodies can sing when love reigns in our heart! Music inspires us! Consider also (among many others) Bach BWV 82, “I have enough” … I have taken the saviour the hope of the righteous into my eager arms. I have enough, I have beheld him. My faith has pressed Jesus into my heart. And now I wish even today with Joy to depart from here.” Blessings (and keep singing!!)!

      Thank you for sharing your sincere testimony. I am a Czech woman who loves music and of course Dvořák is our pride. The fact that the concert is full of Czech melodies that Dvořák made so accessible to everyone is remarkable. And the reason may be that the emotional context is strong, universal and unpretentious . Just love it.

    I saw Yo-Yo Ma for the first time at UC Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall in the 90s paying only student ticket price for a returned ticket. He collaborated with Merce Cunningham Dance Company playing on the side of the stage in front of balcony seats. The cancelled seat I got was on the balcony only about 10ft away from him. I watched him playing Bach's Cello Suite the whole time, not caring about the dance performances. Truly unforgettable memory. I went to his performances a few times afterward paying full prices but was never that close. Thanks to him, I am an amateur cellist now. What an inspiration!

Once with Emanuel Ax, once with the Silkroad Ensemble, and once with Edgar Meyer and Mark O'Connor, an unforgettable performance not the least because Yo-Yo broke a string live on stage at the finale of "Indecision", my favorite piece from their Appalachian Journey set.

    This is the level where technique etc stops being relevant - it's no longer just the music that the performer is conveying to the audience, it's their personality and world view. His music transcends the usual concerns of tone, dynamics, rhythm and delivers warmth, candor, and a genuine sense of care.

    The true test of a soloist performer playing this piece really comes at 35:30 when the concertmaster takes over the main melodic theme and the soloist needs to step back and let the violinist shine. Many egotistical performers continue to play forte instead of following the partitura, which calls for PP or pianissimo. Yo Yo Ma is one of the most generous cellist and he "owns" the Dvorak concerto. He is truly a jewel of a human being and an artist. A true national treasure.

To me, Jacqueline's interpretation of the Dvorak concerto is more intense over all, and Yo-yo's is milder and gentler in some places. Both are of the "greats" in the history of cello playing.

My university colleague (when we were students then) who had the chance to receive him and other guest performers in the backstage (making sure they are okay & etc before going onto the stage) told that yo yo, comparing with some world-class performers, doesn't make demands, but is humble and very polite, and a great person.

    In the beginning of the video, the key signature is stated as H moll ( 2 sharps). For those not familiar with this old European notation, this is the same as B minor. When I was a kid in Sweden a C major scale was: C D E F G A H C. A semitone below H was B. So nowadays ( in most countries) the H became B, and the B became B flat. I think in Germany they are still using the older standard. So this piece is in “H moll “ which is as most people nowadays would say “B minor”.

    One of the great works of music. Written late (1894-5) in Dvorák's life when he was at the National Conservatory in NYC for his second tour as director there. While composing the work, his sister-in-law, Josefina Kaunitzova, née Čermakova, became fatally ill. Like Mozart who fell in love with one sister and married the other, Dvorák's first love was Josefina. He paid tribute to her in the wistful closing pages of the 3rd movement by quoting his song "Leave Me Alone (Kéž duch můj sám). Brahms, who knew this work intimately (having corrected the proofs for his friend, Dvorák) was quoted as saying "If I had known that it was possible to compose such a concerto for the cello, I would have tried it myself!"

    It's all on Mr. Ma's very expressive face as he translates the heart of the universe into music. The great artist reflects greatly the universal soul, the source beyond our understanding but which always supports the good, an ancient name for God.

      Amazing to hear from you dear man. Born Scotland, raised Canada, now 72 and in the Philippines. You're a musical leader but most importantly a good soul. I was a pianist at 6, guitarist at 17. Your Swan with Kathryn so lovely.That's when it became clear you are " the real deal ".

    Everything has been said on this great cellist considered the greatest cellist of the XX century ,Who would have believed that this child prodigy who started playing the violin at the age of 4, and who was later introduced by the conductor Leonard Bernstein in those broadcasting TV series ( at the age of 8), would have become among the greatest cellists in the world, and without a doubt, this Dvorak concert is a masterpiece of divine inspiration, in which all the harmonious, festive and melodic feelings of the Bohemian region is embodied, a handful of Czech land without any doubt.
