He is playing his amazing cello made by Domenico Montagnana of Venice in 1733. One of the finest cellos in the world being played by one of the world's finest cellists. Amazing! The cello is named Petunia, by the way.
This is such a beautiful contribution to a most amazing and moving service at the Cathedral. Everything was well done, including a good amount of music throughout. Make sure you listen to Jose Andres's memorial remarks to the seven WCK workers. The whole service can be found on youtube.
I dont know the name of the first piece, but Ive heard the beginning played by I believe the silk road Ensemble. The piece he connects after that is Partita for solo cello by Adnan Saygun
Very touching 🖤❤🤍
Thank you Yo Yo Ma for bringing your touching music in memory of those who lost their lives serving others in need.
How can one man in a single act embody love, pain, grief and hope? He has and is a remarkable gift.
Bless this man.
Beautiful.

If there is no composer, is this an improvisation?

The first part is ' Jewish Song' by Ernest Bloch . Well chosen, Mr Ma. You are the most beautiful soul
