Yo-Yo Ma- Appassionato

15 tracks spanning the career of world famous cellist, Yo-Yo Ma, Appassionato includes 4 never-before-released tracks and a new interview with Ma.

No one since Leonard Bernstein has personified the joy- or the passion- of music as has Yo-Yo Ma. That passion is obvious in the romantic themes of his new CD, Appassionato. These selections, recorded between 1978 and 2006 and including 4 never-before-released tracks, tell a musical autobiography. And in a new interview with Ed Siegel, Ma discusses his relationship with other musicians, the value he places on family and community, and his desire to understand other cultures. Here, as in his concerts and other recordings, one can hear all those passions blending into a luminous whole.
