If you've been lucky enough to hear Ma play this music in concert, you'll r... [Read More]
There are many ways of playing Bach--the austere and the mathematical or the deliberately simple have dominated in recent years--in an attempt to recapture the style of the unknown soloist for whom he wrote these peculiarly beautiful works. Mischa Maisky's second recording, based on years of study of the scores, opts for a more passionate, almost R... [Read More]
It was only a matter of time before the remarkable Yo-Yo Ma went along with the tide and dipped his talent into the so-called authentic instrument movement.
