Yo-Yo Ma: Six Evolutions - Bach: Cello Suites version on vinyl 3LP in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Europe in publishing company Sony Classical on 14. September 2018.

In 2018, Yo-Yo Ma embarked on a two-year journey during which he performed six suites for solo cello by Johann Sebastian Bach in 36 locations on six continents. For Yo-Yo Ma, the 300-year-old music of Bach is an extraordinary example of how culture can unite us and help us imagine and build a better future. The multiple Grammy Award-winning and internationally acclaimed cellist performed cello suites at the stunning Odeon of Herod Atticus in Athens. Yo-Yo Ma on the suites: "These suites are so significant. They are not only companions and friends, but also reference points in my life." Yo-Yo Ma first encountered Bach and his cello suites when he was four years old and, under the guidance of his father, learned the first bar of the Prelude from Suite No. 1. These works became a permanent part of his life. His first complete recording of the suites, which won a Grammy Award, was made when Mao was only 30 years old. The second recording, Inspired by Bach, was released when the cellist was just 40 years old. Yo-Yo Ma's earlier recordings of cello suites were milestones among all classical music recordings and in his career. With "Six Evolutions," a new chapter begins in the 58-year-old cellist's relationship with these works. His third interpretation of Bach's Cello Suites reveals the maturity and experience of a master performer in every bar. "Bach's cello suites have always been my musical companions," Ma says of them. "For nearly six decades they have strengthened, comforted and brought me joy in tense moments when there was much to celebrate or when I needed consolation. What power this music has - even today, 300 years after it was written, it is our support in difficult times."
