His Ultimate Recording Of This Universal & Timely Music!
Sony Classical is proud to announce the release of Yo-Yo Ma’s album SixEvolutions Bach Cello Suites, his third and final recording of these works.Bach and his Cellos Suites entered Yo-Yo Ma’s life when he was four, when helearned the first measure of the Prelude to Suite No. 1 under his father’sinstruction. Ma has never lost his initial fascination.
“Bach’s Cello Suites have been my constant musical companions,” Ma writesof the music. “For almost six decades, they have given me sustenance, comfortand joy during times of stress, celebration and loss. What power does this musicpossess that even today, after three hundred years, it continues to help usnavigate through troubled times?”
Ma is more convinced than ever of the suites’ ability to create shared meaningthat extends far beyond the here and now. The suites’ collective vision atonce divergent and coherent, empathic and objective reminds us of all thatconnects us despite an increasingly discordant public conversation.
Six Evolutions Bach: Cello Suites does not only offer an essentialencapsulation of what this music means now to one of the world’s most celebratedartists, it begins a new chapter in the cellist’s 58-year relationship with thismusic.
Yo-Yo Ma has won 18 Grammy Awards and sold over 7 million albums in the U.S.
