Yo-Yo Ma, I just want to thank you personally for all of your various gifts to the world. I have immensely enjoyed your classical works, your work with and in the Goat Rodeo Sessions, other incredible duo and trio work with a wide variety of masterful musicians as well. Maybe my favorite though owing to my love of music and instruments from around the world and other counties and cultures is the amazing Silkroad Ensemble you founded and the beautiful & interesting music, musicians and instruments the Silkroad Ensemble brought to me and the rest of the world. I am so thankful that you stepped outside of your classical music & cello realm and brought forth the virtuosity and beauty of such stellar music and musicians in multiple forums and formats.....what a beautiful soul you have in that you wanted and needed to get involved in and share such incredible musical experiences. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Kip
Love the pairing of these musicians! Ha, was washing dishes & so oddly thought how I’d like to hear Yo-Yo Ma and Botti play together & voila!! Hardly believe this was about to play next up on music list ... Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for your pure love and constant support towards my musical career Val. I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my songs and also being a fan of my music. Well how long have you been a fan of my music/works?
@@chrisbotti552 Thank you so much for replying to me. I became a fan of your music when I was in nursing school over fifteen years ago. I listened to it while studying for my exams. 😍
@@valdawn8016 Thanks once again for your love and full support towards me. They've indeed been proven to be quite helpful in boosting my career over the years. Well I'm actually not active much on here, so do you mind if we talk somewhere else more private? Kindly let me know if you're interested
I think its worth noting this rendition was arranged by Billy Childs, who is an outstanding musician and composer himself :) That is him playing the piano, in fact.
Thanks Brett. I really do appreciate your unending love and die hard support towards my musical career. Trust me I wouldn’t trade that for anything. I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music. Well do you mind telling me how long you've been a fan of my music?
YoYo Ma with Chris Botti. My Taneal and I. A Few Of My Favorite Things. Beautiful music. I love this, so real is music. It's a language that can be interpreted in so many ways.

@@chrisbotti552 Hey Chris, Seems like well over 15 years. I would take my late mom to see you every time you were in Atlanta after 2005. She and I both love your talent. Had a dear friend in Portland who I served in the USAF with, Father David Brown. He passed in 2018 at 82. Father Bruce was also a big fan and so proud or another Oregon boy made good. Stay well and keep preforming as long as God allows. Respect Man!:)

Don't see the comment now to reply, but someone commenting "sublimely haunting". Excellently put and so true. Masterpiece....MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!!
jasmine Gonzalez My Favourite Things wasn't originally a Christmas song. The notion now that it is, is a bit extreme. Yes I'm aware they play it for Christmas and have more Christmas versions. But again. Not technically a Christmas song.
MY FAVORITE THINGS -- Chris Botti, John Clayton, Yo Yo Ma ---- At least once or twice a day (sometimes hourly) Siriusly Sinatra satellite radio features trumpet great Chris Botti. Sometimes he is credited, as a moment ago “Chris Botti and Steven Tyler - SMILE.” Sometimes he isn't credited, as on tracks he has produced for singers: overnight it was two by Gladys Knight, “I'll Be Seeing You” and “But Not For Me' - both arranged by Chris Botti's Grammy winning pianist Billy Childs. I was guided to a 'chamber orchestra performance' of my favorite composer's MY FAVORITE THINGS from The Sound of Music, including a great arranger in his own right: John Clayton: a bass player who started out “age 16 as a student of Ray Brown” and has gone on to arrange for the greatest living artists, including Diana Krall and Chris Botti. In a moment, a video of him with Yo Yo Ma (cello) and Chris Botti and a couple of Chris's best Grammy winning band members, pianist/arranger Billy Childs and drummer extraordinaire, Billy Killson. A chamber-orchestra style 'variations' on MY FAVORITE THINGS. My favorite such performance since Sinatra's work with the “Hollywood String Quartet.” That one in a moment. First, the bass player, John Clayton. Advising us (not just young bass players) on the best way to deal with the inevitable negativity we all of us will meet: “Bring your light” to bear on the situation - your love, your own spirit of giving, to illumine others. ruclips.net/video/W-y1DsBthrg/видео.html Thanks, Yo Yo Ma for this 'chamber orchestra' four minute recording that prompted this reflection.

Un ejemplo de que una pieza puede elevarse a su máxima expresión cuando hay talento.
Es talento puro,en las manos correctas!! Simplemente y maravillosamente delicado al los sentidos.
There’s something so elegant and regal about this production ....the bass fiddle player adds sparks with his smile and communication with CB
