Good things happen when you meet strangers. – Yo-Yo Ma
The thing that Ive always been slightly frustrated with, was that the idea of a CD is kind of confined to a material possession that you can put on a shelf.

My teacher, my great cello teacher Leonard Rose, was such a great cellist, and nurturing man, very patient. But I grew up not only admiring him, but obviously Casals, Rostrotovich, Jacqueline du Pre, and many others, including many of my peers and contemporaries. – Yo-Yo Ma
I learn something not because I have to, but because I really want to. Thats the same view I have for performing. Im performing because I really want to, not because I have to bring bread back home. – Yo-Yo Ma
