posted by yo-yo ma in march 2020. haven't been able to find a recording I've liked even a fraction as much as his solo cello, so i converted it to an mp3 so i could have it in my playlists. it comes from dvorak's symphony no9 in e minor - from the new world, 2nd movement

--

In these days of anxiety, I wanted to find a way to continue to share some of the music that gives me comfort. The first of my #SongsOfComfort is Dvořák's “Going Home.” Stay safe.

#music #classical music #dvorak #yo yo ma #songs of comfort #i thought i'd posted it before but no i put the mp3 in a reblog of one of my recaps that i linked 🥴#how many times have i cried listening to this-yes #cello #cellist

Yo-Yo Ma’s Kindness Rivals His Talent

- Cellist performs “Over the Rainbow” as “a little bit of comfort for those who need it”

If Yo-Yo Ma has anything in more abundance than talent, it’s kindness and compassion.

Continuing his ascension to the title of World’s Biggest Mensch, the world’s most-renowned cellist recorded a homemade version of “Over the Rainbow” in the hopes of making a stranger - or strangers - feel better.

“This is a little bit of comfort for those who need it,” Ma said in releasing the 100-second recital as part of his occasional Songs of Comfort series.

It is, of course, lovely. And absolutely moving. But even more than the music, it’s Ma’s obvious concern for his fellow human beings that makes this a lump-in-throat undertaking.

Thank you, Yo-Yo.

- Everyone

does anyone have like an anti aesthetic. like something you look at and can recognize as a complete fashion/interior design/artistic movement and understand it but it makes you shudder seeing it. i am not talking like “its morally bad” “its poorly structured” like just sheerly devoid of joy for you actually invites a repulse response.

#also if it wasnt clear this isnt ‘its bad its lazy’ there is a level of like #completion consistancy i am thinking for with this #personally i really do not enjoy the like. vintage chic long red nails fur coats noir esque aesthetic HOWEVER 💥💥💥#i can recognize that it is put together it is Intentional #i feel like a lot of people are going to say minimalism on this so LET ME SAY 🫰☝️ i recognize that minimalism is Considered an aesthetic #but i *PERSONALLY* do not consider it an aesthetic i consider it the void of one #it is a lapse in aesthetic or personality in the same way a silence in a song is still technically a ‘beat’ but no music is played #however the importance of Space or Breath in design is more akin to a purposeful silence in music #because that silence matters in the same way rhythm and breath in design do #so i guess minimalism is more comparable to like. white noise. the sound of a fan #very little effort and there is a comfort in it i suppose but its not. A Design. okay #TO ME 🤫#if minimalism has one hater its me if minimalism has no haters im dead

the song came on my shuffle and would not leave me alone until i penned this i'm so sorry

#this is way too much effort but like. music makes me feel things y'know?#trolls #floyd #branch #john dory #clay #bruce #cannot recommend Comfortably Numb enough as like. THE listless + dizzy song #no other tune has quite nailed the feeling like you're about to pass out at any second #also the human scream of agony in the middle is great too #either way #don't look at me #is he dead? i couldn't decide so thats up to u #long post #undescribed

Yo-Yo Ma Plays Saygun for Turkey and Syria, Where Earthquake’s Toll Exceeds 6,000

When tragedy strikes - as it did this week in Turkey and Syria - Yo-Yo Ma picks up his cello and adds another piece to his Songs of Comfort series.

This time, Ma chose the Turkish composer Adnan Saygun’s Partita for Cello, inspired by the loss of more than 6,000 lives in the wake of a 7.8-magnitude earthquake.

Ma’s dedication puts into English what his performance states in music’s universal language.

“To our friends in Turkey and Syria - our love, thoughts and prayers are with you all,” the cellist said. “This is for those who are suffering and for the helpers that are working tirelessly to save lives and bring hope.”

A heartrending melody composed in 1954, Saygun’s Partita is even more so in Ma’s care. He is the rare musician who can channel the emotion that moves him to play a particular piece and envelop his listeners in it.

And Ma knows aural hugs work wonders.
