"Yo-yo Ma’s execution is sometimes more like a dance out of the shadows into the filtered sunlight of a deep forest. Ma’s playing is refined and elegant, and seems here to emote most effectively in the slightly melancholy sections, his interpretation showing best in those areas that permit such flexibility. His very fluidity in most passages can make his approach seem strangely stiff in others. Also, this fluency is a most individual interpretation, not as stopped or abrupt as more “authentic” players tend to read the music. You can hear his breathing, which only reminds me of how he seldom wavers from the natural breath of the music and understands the pulse."
