As an artist in residence with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra, the American cellist Yo-Yo Ma had the opportunity to do what is perhaps the second thing he Ioves the most after playing: sharing his love of music with others. During his residency, he transformed himseIf from sensitive teacher to inimitable Bach interpreter to first cello of a major symphony orchestra. Yo-Yo Ma doesn t fade away into the music, nor does he take a worshipful attitude towards the pieces he performs. From the moment he waIks onto the stage, he exudes charisma that immediateIy confirms his exceptional status as the 'best celIist in the worId'. With its ten variations on a theme of knightIy character for fuII orchestra, Richard Strauss tone poem 'Don Quixote' not onIy depicts the colorfuI adventures of Cervantes' chivaIrous hero, but aIso functions as a virtuoso display of glorious soIo meIodies embedded in stunning orchestral passages. lt is, in a way, a second Strauss celIo concerto that can take up with any other Iate-19th century piece of this kind. Joining 'the Don' later is a vioIa soIo that personifies the faithful Sancho Panza and is played by Wen Xiao Zheng. |
