He is as kind, charitable, and caring a man as he is talented. Fame does not burden him. For years, he has quietly used it to brighten and better the lives of others - especially kids. He is a treasure, on and off the concert stage.

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.

Yo Yo's sound is just so amazing. My wife wonders what I'm doing on the internet at night: Falling asleep being relaxed by Yo Yo Ma! Over and over and over again. There might be some Hauser, Roy & Rosemary, 2Cellos and The Piano Guys in there as well. However Yo Yo makes it all look so smooth and easy. There is a short street in downtown Toronto by the harbour front named after him.

@RS-rb8fr

Yes he is great but not at the level of Hauser from Bach to Vivaldi to Mozart to hendel ,to bethoven to Joaquin Rodrigo to hauser passion all of them brought it not just to play because it is edicts of what should be ,I myself being from Europe studyed music very young notation is very important to apply to all aspects of instruments but yo yo ma no bad but à century later you have Nostrus Rex .

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 YouTube has to offer, and IMO well worth the modest monthly subscription fee to listen commercial free.
