This compilation of music by Dvorak played by Yo-Yo Ma is just beautiful. Ma seems to understand just when Dvorak wants to be super-Romantic and sappy and when he is in fact being merely his usual expressive self.

I had bought this CD solely for the Humoresque. But all the pieces are beautiful, particularly the latter in the listed order. This album is excellent and I highly reccommend it. This was my first exposure to the cello, but it has motivated me to try to attend a live Yo-Yo Ma concert.

YoYo Ma is YoTo Ma. When it comes Chello, YoYo Ma and Dvorak combo cannot be beaten if you appreciate Chello concerto. The recording sounds bit quiet but otherwise it’s another success by YoYo.
