Yo Yo Ma - Bach Six Cello Suites - The Odeon of Herodes Atticus Greek Live 

I wish everyone who clicked on this video the most love, peace and abundance. You’re so much closer than you realize. I love you

"Noise is from cicada on microphone" is the single best subtitle I've ever seen in my life.

Absolutely astonishing musicianship and Yo Yo Ma captures the spirit of Bach. He plays it exactly the way Bach intended it to be played. It's a spiritual experience to listen to this incredible composition by Bach. These six cello suites capture every aspect of life itself. The happy, the sad, the determination, and love. This is a masterpiece performance. May Mother Goddess continue to bless Yo Yo Ma.

The cello is the most human of instruments, and represents the closest to replicating humanity's vocal range. Bach's genius, was to lift humanity's voice, YoYo is his finest instrument. He seems inspired from a spirit we cannot see, but he does.

He is an extension of the cello spirit, bringing the life and sharing the spirit.

As a pupil of the great violist and Bach interpreter, Lillian Fuchs, who devoted many years of her life to understanding, interpreting, performing, recording and teaching these masterful suites on the viola. I learned to play and love this music as a young man. Now at the age of 73, this music moves me as much or more than ever, and I can only take my hat off to Xo Yo Ma for sharing the fruits of his amazing talent and performing experience through this great music and performance. Tis is , IMHO absolutely MONUMENTAL!Thank you YO YO MA, and THANK YOU J.S. Bach!

one of the best concerts of my life at Herodus Atticus Theatre . Purely mystic and divine. Was on 30 June, 2019

I was there! He finally spoke midway through and is a witty man.

thank you, MAESTRO Yo-yo Ma. I cannot remember ever enjoying the cello suites so much as when i attended this concert ! You lifted my heart and soul. mlle. Lyon

Sitting out in the warm late winter Northern Nevada sun, some beer and cigarettes close at hand, I listened to all. Best day I've had in a while. Thanks Yo Yo Ma, Thanks Bach.

Yo-Yo Ma loves his life. He’s such an inspiration to me.

YoYo and Bach remind us of the good and true in our universe at a time when thoughtlessness ( and brainlessness) seems to garner too much support and attention.

Even the cicada loves YoYo Ma! It flew in to join in. :D

Only another musician can know and appreciate the time effort sweat isolation and tears it takes ❤❤ the reward is. ECSTASY

I'm speechless, and that's a rare event indeed. Thank you, all concerned with producing this masterpiece.

So proud that YoYo Ma is an American. The best musician we've every produced.

The GOAT of the cello!🙏🙏🙏

Quelle merveille !

젊었을 때의 요요마 녹음 때 마치도 날라갈 것 같은 경쾌함에 놀랐다면.. 이 공연은 세월의 더께에 숙성된 아름다움이 느껴진다. 같은 연주자의 다른 버전들도 즐거운 경험..

Yo-Yo is a great artist. Bravo!

Así se escucha la belleza! ❤

Yiasou Levendi ! Nothing short of amazing!

Una magnífica sessió de cel·lo, que ens dona l'oportunitat d'escoltar i veure la interpretació d'un gran artista d'aquesta obra universal.

Guten Abend, ich habe yo yo Ma als junge Frau kennen gelernt und schätzen gelernt! Wir sind sozusagen zusammen alt geworden, aber die Liebe zur Musik und Meisterschaft des Vortrags sind unheimlich schön!!!!

He looks like he’s enjoying a lot 😊

영혼의 평화❤

❤

Tiene algo especial Yo Yo Ma.

❤❤❤❤

Leonard Rose would be very proud.

The strangest thing: Once you really hear, this the easiest thing, and -- most to enjoy.

There was a cicada singing on the microphone from 00: 34:53, and it is fun to see such a musical incident.

💜☄️🌌

Siempre los chelistas comienzan con esta. Suit.

Hola A partir del minuto 35 tiene un ruido que interrumpe el disfrute.

Asuma how passionate are you about your instrument? Then what do you think about your playing? I tak kajdiy muzikant dumayet... na instrumente. Asuma a kogda perestante dumar i nachnyete igrat?

Это же как можно одному играть 2,5 часа да ещё и без нот

how do you not have a fail safe? did they only have one mic? sound guy committed crimes against humanity.

A cicada on the microphone (last movement of 2nd suite)!! That must have annoyed him.

21:48 a dog?

He still doesn't trust Bach; too much weird hurriedness! There's too much YYM and not enough Bach in there. I'm not saying it should be as workman-like as Rostropovich's, and I realize there's lots of superb competition with things like Coppey's excellent work and Wen Sinn Yang's beautiful recordings. Not to mention Netherlands Bach Society, Casals older recordings, or even Edgar Meyer. If you listen to Andras Schiff talk about Bach, then listen to him play the French Suites (Leipzig recordings), that's Bach! Or Helmut Walcha ... These performers understand that Bach requires raw intimacy, not virtuosic flare. Introspection, not demonstrativeness. These are best appreciated, and performed, not as show pieces, but as meditations. Like you're watching the musician thinking and revealing the self. "Bach is Life" you might say.

😂😊

So spped ☹️

Pathetic.
