Ma was born to Chinese parents living in Paris. He began to study the cello with his father at age 4 and soon came with his family to New York, where he spent most of his formative years. Later, his principal teacher was Leonard Rose at the Juilliard School. He sought out a traditional liberal arts education to expand upon his conservatory training, graduating from Harvard University in 1976.
Yo-Yo Ma has been called "the most omnivorous of all cellists" by critics, and indeed possesses a far more eclectic repertoire than typical for a classical player. He has performed and recorded Baroque pieces on period instruments, American bluegrass music, traditional Chinese melodies, the Argentinian tangos of Astor Piazzolla, Brazilian music, soundtracks to Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and Philip Glass's Naqoyqatsi, in addition to numerous recordings of the standard classical repertoire. His latest CD is a collaboration with other musicians for the Memoirs of a Geisha soundtrack.
Yo-Yo Ma's main performance instrument is a very fine 1733 Montagnana cello. He also plays the Davidoff Stradivarius from 1712, which was also played by Jacqueline du Pre.

this "early" Maisky will always remain my all-time favorite of this masterpiece: tempo, dynamics, phrasing, articulation... everything matches my personal vision of this piece.

A girl with a cello, lived a block from me as the crow flies. She would sit on her front porch and play this piece. I was amazed at much of the interplay of the tones and over tones could carry for that much distance. Alot goes on inside of a cello. A violin has that tonal play as well, but only bats and young dogs can hear it. The cello puts it in human range. So does a classical guitar, but then the tonal play is very short lived. I play these on a guitar, but admittedly it is difficult. I listen to all of the Maisky videos often, it keeps me grounded.

It is a profound discription.
What a Very Good Writing !!
@d.harrison1570
"bats and young dogs" made me laugh. So true.

Was J S Bach a musical genius? His use of repetition is not only amazing but predates echo and reverb devices by centuries. I'm completely floored 🙀

IMO there’s No better interpretation of the Cello suite than Mr Maisky
