[@lijin3950]

When I was a little girl, I heard this music from radio, it was so beautiful and touched my heart, it became one of my favorite Tchaikovsky’ music. You You Ma’s performance is the best. Soul touching.

[@sadies2820]

I woke up to this on my radio alarm. What an absolutely beautiful way to start my day. I had to make sure I found out what it was and have been enjoying it here. Thank you.

Love how he nods at Sir Andrew at 2:56. “You may signal them to pizzicato now.”

[@riittaeerikko6564]

Yo- Yo Ma has the right attitude: not too sentimintal, honesty is important.

[@theosu66]

Beautiful.

If you go into the music feature on the Stryker inTouch hospital bed, this is one of the pieces you hear in that bed. I KNOW, because I've been in SEVERAL of them, in 2015 when I spent a month in the hospital and where I got my tracheostomy and when I became so much healthier because of the tracheostomy, and the ventilator. I remember music such as Pachelbel's Canon in D Major4, Bach's Air in D Major, Beethoven's fur Elise, and several other wonderful pieces. But near the end of the playlist was this piece. String Quartet No 1 op 11 in D Major. THIS LOVELY, this absolutely WONDERFUL movement.I LOOOOOVE this music. Considering, it helped me cope with not being able to speak on the ventilator, right after the tracheostomy tube was inserted

[@Marcel_Audubon]

sounds like the hackneyed playlist you'd hear as you drift down the river Styx on your way to Hell

[@ventilator98]

Marcel Audubon It doesn’t to me! It sounds similar to a Stryker inTouch Bed.

[@lupamelasy9449]

Perfect performance

Wow.

[@ctraini]

Superb.

[@user-dw5lu5ul2u]

Very good

[@celloguy]

Commenters are falling into the there's only one way the music goes trap. This is a very personal and brilliant account of this piece - a burnished, soft toned, sighing reverie. Rostropovich is also great!

[@raymondtogtman1047]

So was Jacqueline DuPre.

[@ivherz]

maravilhoso!

Inside the reporting of music playing during the August 8th, 1962, Marilyn Monroe funeral service---12 days before I saw my six birthday candles go out. A month before my first school year began.

Se cuenta que Leon Tolstoi sentado junto a Tchaikovsky comenzó a llorar con el Andante Cantabile....

[@rilakkumaimero]

speechless......perfect!!!!!!!!!!!

[@joshuapark8255]

petra ananda so do you

[@peachesareyums]

i read the title as yo mama but great music

[@joshuapark8255]

Music like this should be honored. The way Yo Yo Ma plays it is simply astounding as he honors it as if it was his god. I don't know if he's Christian but I'm definitely sure he ain't atheist.

[@foxmulder8955]

that's a very retarded comment

[@Marcel_Audubon]

STFU!

[@cacciato69]

@melglc music shuts off the internal verbal monologue for me ... opens heaven :X

[@raymondtogtman1047]

Tolstoy wept when he heard this.

[@edgargomez9450]

Actually?

Chicken soup for the musical soul.

yes, but with a heavier dose of schmaltz than recommended

[@asmith8815]

I disagree vehemently with Steve Fox that there are others that are better than Yo Yo Ma playing this piece. The only reason that I can think of is that you do not like Yo Yo Ma's soulful playing which transcends everything.

2 people play the Drums (not that i hate it or anything)

[@joshuapark8255]

LilShrooms that's natural for percussion

[@peachbblackwell5562]

It needfs a bit more pizazz! I admit: I dozed off.

[@joshuapark8255]

Peach B Blackwell then why are you watching this in the first place

Joshua Park Classical music is meant to be critiqued and analyzed. Don’t take it so seriously.

[@Chat555chat]

Rostropovitch joue bien mieux.

[@johnyoung5783]

poor sound very low volume ,
