Yo Yo Ma on Cello
Everybody's seen this about a hundred times, but it never fails to give me just a little shot in the side of the head. Also, kudos to Ann Hathaway's publicist for getting a photo of her inserted at the 1:45 mark.
It's also fun to shout out who the painter is as the images shoot by. I got 63. You?
But none of that is the point. The point is that I was listening to Yo Yo Ma playing solo cello suites at a really high volume the other day, and let me tell you, it's like dropping acid without the negative side effects. The one playing under the video is Bach's Sarabande from Suite for Solo Cello No. 1 in G Major, BWV 1007. Lest you be too impressed, I don't know what any of that means -- I cut and pasted it from the intro section. Nonetheless, just try typing that into the Spotify search box.
There's something about my speakers that render the cello, particularly the single low notes that sometimes jump out at you, in the most exquisite manner possible.
