Інтерпретація ГЕНІАЛЬНА! Дякую.

The look of appreciation he gives the principal flute around 19:24. So classy. So personal. I've always loved YoYo!

Always one of my favorite, my boy is also doing cello, I guess I pass this to him

[@1GoodWoman]

Yo-yo Ma has been an inspiration for the whole world. Thank you for sharing.

[@ianfraser4243]

Yo-yo Ma, one of the greatest multi-talented musicians of our age. You should hear him playing traditional chinese music. He does here as an encore

[@sandrinemodeste8457]

Listen Gregor Piatigorvski

[@anijackson1927]

That was one of the most poignant and magnificent performances I've ever heart. Yo-Yo Ma seasoned in his tenure reminds me of why I want to be alive.

[@Dylonely42]

Utterly marvelous. It’s one of the few concertos which I love all the movements at the same level. They are all outstanding, and the mindblowing ending can just not leave you disappointed.

[@bjartestre5519]

The whole orshestra do a good job here ❤

[@econhelp_official]

It's too much, I love Yo-Yo Ma so much, and this piece!!! Hands on my heart, there are no words to express how I feel listening to this!

This is one of the many recordings I have listened to as of yet and I must say this is my favourite so far.

[@akacopernicus5320]

Sautille, ricochet and octaves on the cello?? I'm a violinist and it blew me away when he did all these difficult techniques. Also the audience clapped between the movements; sacreligieous!

[@seanfielding8209]

Perfectly reasonable to applaud after a blockbuster first movement of any concerto when the virtuoso has been particularly competent, let alone when one has just heard, in a small city in Canada, an inspired performance by the torch-bearer from Casals through Rostropovich.

[@TheRealCoryKent]

Nothing like these comments to make people feel like they're not wanted in the world of classical music. SMH

[@theresachen168]

@@TheRealCoryKent Quite the opposite, everyone is welcome and wanted here.

[@TheRealCoryKent]

@@theresachen168 I'm referring to the comment saying clapping between movements being sacrilegious. People who are not versed on etiquette for performances shouldn't be criticized or made to feel bad for something that is really not harmful at all. Clapping expresses joy and appreciation. Nothing pleases God more than Gratitude for His work. Comments telling someone or some people they are doing something heinous and awful would turn away many people. Thus, I stated, "making people feel like they're not wanted."

[@suzannebrokaw7885]

I play in an community orchestra, happen to be performing this lovely concerto this weekend - but I wish the audience WOULD be 'allowed' to applaud between movements! It gives the players a chance to take a breath, and every movement is worthy of appreciation!!! Yes, it's 'sacreligious' but those of us who are performers appreciate the .... appreciation!! :D

[@Eroica_Under_God.15.18]

I love it when he came out wearing a cowboy hat for the encore.

[@theresachen168]

By the way, that cowboy hat is a tribute to Calgary tradition. Even the British royals like William and Kate wear cowboy hats while visiting Calgary.

[@trxor574]

Bravo!!!

[@jeffbcellist8484]

It is just like a great movie!!!!!👍

[@pietromelis7887]

Guardavo un film intitolato "La diga del disonore" sul canale televisivo La7 e percepii subito il secondo tempo del concerto per violoncello ma non riuscivo a ricordare chi fosse l'autore. Per esclusione pensai che potesse essere Dvorak. E infatti la memoria non mi aveva ingannato.

[@Aleecinaroll]

AMO LA MUSICA CLASICAAAAAAAAAAA I LOVE

[@sammo3969]

He must be very popular in Calgary; or was it because he came out to play an encore with a cowboy hat. Just a scene of involvement and enjoyment. The Appalachia Waltz is certainly a relaxing and enjoyable encore.

Just love this. Well shot video. My "Girl Friend" practiced this piece in the Netherlands as an audition in the '80s. FYI: Never date a professional Musician! She would practice the same part over, and over, and over....

[@nonosquare1066]

thats the definition of practice

[@suzannebrokaw7885]

you do know why, right? It's to get it perfect... I'm certain that Yo-Yo Ma has played MANY parts over and over and over... that's why he's as amazing as he is!!

[@emmanuelvacakis4463]

I know it’s a cliche that almost everyone takes the second theme so slow in the first movement but I just think it’s wrong. It’s not a slow movement and Dvorak has already written it slower by using long note values. I also understand that if you took it at the proper tempo, you wouldn’t get very far as a cellist. The same is true for the a-flat minor section which is the first theme. Again Dvorak has written longer note values, so it’s not necessary to take it even slower.
