【專輯介紹】:

words fail me on how to describe performance in this CD.It’s very good, one of the best interpretations I have heard in a very long time. I must confess that since i discovered Ma du Pre I have not been able to listen to anything else nor did I attempt to do so. But out of the blue I bumped into this CD by chance & after hearing Yo Yo Ma’s phraising especially the 1st movement infact the whole of Dvorak Cello was like something new to me.Ma plays with passion,emotions & strong commitment to the music in a different way.The Ochestra is in top form & allows the solo cello to shine at the right time.I never thought there is another interpretation that could surpass M.Rostropovich(Im sorry to say this I know he is a living legend & the 1969 record with Karajan is held in high esteem). Ma is accompanied by my favourate violinist Itzhak Perlman on “Humosresque no.7 for piano” & “Slavonic Dance no.10 in E minor”- the results are so sweet as many people know Perlman is a romantic specialist his tone with Ma’s cello is heavenly.With regard to the “songs my mother taught me” the cello sounds good not best for the track personally im so used to hear the song being played on violin.There’s nothing wrong with the cello it’s just that it ‘s tone is a bit too strong for the composition but it’s very well interpreted by Ma. They call this transcription in musical terms. Actually Ma deserves an apology as im one of those who have accused him of lacking in emotions &”look at me now i can play anything” attitude.I think those allegations are baseless & unwarranted when u hear this CD u will know u are into something beautiful. Overall grab this very fast before many people realise Yo-Yo Ma ‘s greatest gift of song.
