    The shear joy in Yo Yo Ma's expressions along with performers and audience that share this night is extraordinary. True enjoyment.

    When John Williams came out, and integrated everything together - which only served to introduce JT, who then floated on the cloud of the children's choir....well..I'm not ashamed to say the tears began to flow. What an extraordinary honorific, to an extraordinary, consummate musician. Bravo!!!

    Had to say, am I the only one who really loves Yo- Yo's beautiful face? That serene expression and genuine smile is a real scene stealer , not to mention hearts.

    It's not because he's being honored -- that's great yet purely incidental -- but because all of these people are coming together to do what they love more than anything else in the world: making music. And if he helped them all in some way to do it better, that's where the true honor is.

    Ain't no shame in crying to music Garyokee. I have been doing it for 50 years and found to be the best soul cleanser ever. So keep on crying to what moves you, so that I won't feel I am the one.Music can cure anything, crying to it is our way to surrender to its beauty and that a world without it would not be worth living in. God Bless.

    He is a fabulous cellst
    His touch and interpretation is wonderful.
    What I admire most of all historical apparent lack of flamboyance. I.o.w.
    Modesty. My daughter chose Gabriel's oboe with you in the mix to walk towards her husband to be and right up to het precious father who died of advanced altzheimers about 6 months after her wedding. She shared his musicality and certainly gave him all her love.
    Our favourite CD was always when you play Ennio Moriconne.
    My husband was a member of the RPO cello. Section for about 25 years. He has played in the Kennedy Centre and the Carnegire Hall.
    The RPO toured to Taiwan.
    We were heartbroken when he was diagnosed with early onset dementia aged 69!!
    Yo Yo you keep me inspired
