Yo-Yo Ma - Yo-Yo Ma: The Bach Project - Cello Suites

In 2018, Yo-Yo Ma began a two-year journey, setting out to perform Johann Sebastian Bach�s six suites for solo cello in one sitting, across 36 locations on 6 continents. For Yo-Yo, Bach�s 300-hundred-year-old music is one extraordinary example of how culture connects us and can help us to imagine and build a better future. In an unforgettable experience the 19 times Grammy � Award winner and internationally acclaimed cellist performed the Cello Suites at the overwhelming Odeon of Herodes Atticus in Athens. Yo-Yo Ma says: �These suites are so meaningful. They�re not only companions and friends, but they�ve also been reference points in my life�. �Soft sounds around me suggested that others were caught up in similarly strong emotions. How Ma has this effect on people is a mystery: I suspect it has to do with the warmth he brings to music that is fundamentally beyond comprehension. He makes the godlike human.� Alex Ross, The New Yorker
