    CD 78 of 90 from "Yo-Yo Ma: 30 Years Outside the Box"

    Some very fine music in this soundtrack, but as the subtitle -- "Life as War" -- would suggest, much of the music is sombre, to say the least.

    CD 80 of 90 from "Yo-Yo Ma: 30 Years Outside the Box"

    This is on of my wife's long-time favorite CDs from Yo-Yo Ma's repertoire.

    It sounds absolutely terrific on the now TL'd SRSs, which have over 250 hours of break-in time on the crossovers and new RD0-198-1s. :)

    Another of our long-time favorites. Pulling it out of a 90-CD boxed set didn't make any perceptible difference in SQ! :)

    I don't know.

    We first met him at a concert he gave in the mid-1980s in Columbus, IN.

    When our daughter started studying violin at the New England Conservatory's prep program, she shared a stand in the orchestra with Emily Ma.

    I don't pretend to know Yo-Yo Ma, and I doubt that he even remembers my wife and me.

    I can say that my several brief experiences with him have reinforced all the good things that have been written about his humility, open personality, charisma and warmth as a human being.

    And, he is a great musician to boot! :)

    When I get done with this mind expanding stuff, I think I'll do a Stones for all.
    My two fav stones songs are the one w/ the chorus
    "everybody must get stoned!"

    CD 86 0f 90 from "Yo-Yo Ma: 30 Years Outside the Box"

    Some very beautiful music on this CD. Great reference material for timbres, separation, soundstage. Track 4 --"Brush of Silk" -- is one of my favorites.
