Yo-Yo Ma - Suite from Memoirs of a Geisha - John Williams - Chicago Symphony Orchestra

[@clpandol60]

Minute 25:45 is sublime and marvelous, Sayuri' Theme. I felt the beauty of listening the Yo-Yo Ma Cello, yes, a genius! Outstanding performance overall!

"She paints her face to hide her face. Her eyes like deep water. It is not for Geisha to want. It is not for Geisha to feel. Geisha is an artist of the floating world. She dances. She sings. She entertains you, whatever you want. The rest is shadows. The rest is secret."

He is such a genius at playing the cello Thank you for posting this movie song. Yo Yo Ma’s cello playing makes me rethink the day. He is a miracle

@@MFKZbin683 I don't know Chinese (going by his username, English might be his second language) but maybe in Chinese there's no lexical differentiation between "song" and "music piece" or the like, I do know Chinese is very metaphorical and incredibly abstract. Take a look at the meaning of the characters for "train" for example: en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E7%81%AB%E8%BB%8A#Chinese

Its must be surreal to hear your composition playing soooo Beautifully. Chicago Symphony Orchestra accomplishment to Yo Yo Ma very beautiful rendition is perfect in composition.

This is from another planet, The Chairman's waltz is my personal anthem, Yo Yo Ma and John Williams are gods! Thanx for the upload 🐱

[@clpandol60]

right!

No other music could have done justice to the spell cast by this movie, because the music , soundtrack casts a spell the movie must try to keep pace with. Blissful marriage of sight and sound.

Yo-yo ma is an absolute genius

[@benjaminadler5681]

Thank you so much for posting this. I was fortunate enough to be able to be at this performance, and listening to it is almost reliving it.

[@GGbreizh]

That was certainly an unforgettable concert! Unfortunately the present recording is not perfect. The cello sounds too distant, and it lacks depth. The real performance was probably much more emotional. Unfortunately very few Williams' music are played by french orchestras, so I rarely listen to his music live, but when I do, it is always a great experience.

[@tomlettman]

I can only envy you for having been at that performance.

[@charlesjennings4264]

Sorry I am not an expert of chinese and japanese culture. I made a research for traditional japanese clothed woman, and I got this picture. But since the actress playing Sayuri was Chinese....
