As much as I like Cello music; as much as he has an incredible repitore from what I have seen... I am not a fan of Yo-Yo Ma. I try to compare pieces and in every case so far I have simply enjoyed the other person I was comparing him to every time. It is odd as I enjoy Cello pieces so much and logically I know he is considered one of the best, but when I compre him to other Celloist so far... Even more so on pieces he does that is also done by Rostropvich or Du Pre, I find myself enjoying the other person more. One of these days I am going to try and listen to him blind and see if it is just a visual thing for me (I am actually setting this up with my sweetheart on a variety of conductors, performers and ensembles to see if/what influence is caused by visual versus audible).
