Music CDs
Bach and his Cello Suites entered Yo-Yo Ma's life when he was four, when he learned the first measure of the 'Prélude' to Suite No. 1 under his father's instruction, and these works have been a through-line in his life. His Grammy Award-winning, first complete recording of the suites, was made in his late twenties. His second, INSPIRED BY BACH, was released in his early forties and recorded alongside a multi-genre, collaborative exploration of the works. Both previous recordings of the Cello Suites, also on Sony Classical, became landmarks in the history of classical discography, as well as milestones in Ma's musical life. 'Six Evolutions' begins a new chapter in the cellist's 58-year relationship with this music.
