Review of Yo-Yo Ma ENCORE: In his own words

This piece is quick and intimate. The listener feels as if Yo-Yo Ma is sitting directly across from him playing his instrument. Particularly effective is his voice, it acts as a musical counterpoint. It left me wanting more--of Yo-yo Ma and other musical treasures. So I guess my only question, or even complaint, is where is the rest of this series, why is it broken up into such small, fractured pieces, why not a long streaming adventure with Yo-Yo Ma, why torture us so...
