Ma the Master


A short but tantalizing glimpse into the current workings of Yo-Yo Ma. Ma is never at a loss for something new to do, and this piece, which demonstrates his performance of a work written by Chinese composer Bright Sheng, is in typical contrast to some of his other recent works, such as his recordings of Brazilian songs and Vivaldi concerti. Definitely a good filler piece for any cultural program.
