About "Cello Suite No. 4 in E-Flat Major, BWV 1010: I. Prélude" by Yo Yo Ma
The Prélude of Suite No. 4 opens like a door to an empty cathedral. Yo-Yo Ma's arpeggios rise and fall with the patience of tides, their grandeur undercut by a lonely, searching quality—as if the cello is mapping a vast, interior landscape where glory and solitude are inseparable.
