A night with Yo-Yo Ma

Just home from a wonderful concert with Yo-Yo Ma and the Nashville Symphony. What an incredible night.

I was almost moved to tears during his encore performance of the Prelude to Suite 1 of Bach's Cello Concertos. To see arguably the world's best-known classical musician, playing one of the world's best known classical masterpieces was something I'll never forget. That's not to minimize the Dvorak's at all. I particularly enjoyed Silent Woods.

I'm not qualified to judge his technical skills and whether other masters might be better. And yes, he is sometimes overly expressive on stage. Neither matters. He was superb and the room just resonated with his larger-than-life presence.

If you ever have the chance to see Yo-Yo Ma, do not miss it.
