Maestro Ma wanted to reach out to the world, and looked to WGBH to help him do that, says Rudel, who has known Ma since they were children in New York. The performance came in the midst of the now-postponed final leg of MaвЂ™s Bach Project, a tour of the complete cello suites to 36 communities on six continents. It was a herculean effort that involved teams across WGBH, including WCRB, Engineering, Production Group, Human Resources, Local TV, Legal, PRX, Marketing and Communications, Creative, IT, Social Media, Digital, Building Services and Security. (According to on Twitter, the performance was вЂњoverflowing with life, humor and empathy.') The event, conceived by Ma to memorialize those lost to the global coronavirus pandemic and to everyone whose life has changed because of it, as well as to honor communitiesвЂ™ resilience, drew 40,000 viewers on Yo-Yo MaвЂ™s YouTube channel alone and rave social media reviews from around the world. Listeners and viewers throughout the region and all over the world joined the broadcast online, while PRX distributed it to radio stations across the country. It was streamed worldwide on YouTube, broadcast locally on 99.5 WCRB Classical Radio Boston and on WGBH 2, and aired on more than 150 radio stations across the U.S.Д«uilding on almost two monthsвЂ™ preparation, the event went off вЂњwithout a hitch,вЂќ according to Anthony Rudel, WCRB station manager and executive producer of the event.

Free on YouTube for a year.More than a dozen WGBH departments rallied in the days leading up to the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend to choreograph and produce a live, socially distanced, 2ВЅ-hour solo performance of the complete Bach Cello Suites by celebrated cellist Yo-Yo Ma. Watch this: Royal Academy OperaвЂ™s filmed production of PurcellвЂ™s Dido and Aeneas, in a new edition by Bruce Wood, directed sharply by Jack Furness and led by the top lutenist (and dean of RAM students) Elizabeth Kenny. Two songs by the tragically short-lived Morfydd Owen (1891-1918) stand out: melancholy and affecting, and beautifully sung by Romaniw. Among the highlights: impassioned songs from Arwel HughesвЂ™s opera Menna, Grace WilliamsвЂ™s The Loom and Huw WatkinsвЂ™s Auden setting, Eyes look into the well. With Andrew Matthews-Owen as pianist on all but two tracks, the singers are first rank: sopranos Susan Bullock, Rebecca Evans, Elin Manahan Thomas and Natalya Romaniw tenor Elgan LlЕ·r Thomas and baritone Gareth Brynmor John, with harpist Catrin Finch. Its latest album, TaliesinвЂ™s Songbook (Ty Cerdd), features a stylistic cross-section of songs in Welsh and English from the 20th and 21st centuries, by William Mathias, Mark Bowden, Gareth Glyn, Rhian Samuel and more. The fertile landscape of Welsh music is being nurtured by TЕ· Cerdd, the forum for promoting Welsh music past and present. Ax is the perfect partner, as heartfelt and eloquent as he is witty. Yo-Yo Ma brings boldness and individuality to every note, using slides between notes as needed the attack vigorous, the lyricism poetic. Recorded in Tanglewood, Massachusetts, last summer, these performances are exploratory, tender and conversational. The title comes from the composer himself, who allegedly inscribed the best-known of the five sonatas - the exuberant No 3 in A Major, Op 69 - with the words вЂњInter lacrimas et luctumвЂќ (вЂњamid tears and griefвЂќ). Their intimacy is always evident, in the balance and flow, in the equality of the musical partnership, in the willingness to take risks in BeethovenвЂ™s revolutionary silences and outbursts.

This starry duo has made music together for decades (including these sonatas, which they recorded first time round in 1982 in a vigorous, but more straightforward manner).

Hope Amid Tears (Sony) is a wonderfully generous and probing recording of BeethovenвЂ™s cello sonatas and three sets of variations, by the cellist Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Emanuel Ax.
