Yo-Yo Ma plays Ennio Morricone

Discogs

On a popular YouTube channel Yo-Yo Ma is called Yo Mama. Generally I’m a bit sensitive towards jokes about somebody’s name, but once you know this one, you can no longer unthink it. Yo Mama does Morricone. This is a good example of what the world’s most famous cellist should not do. Somehow these arrangements are just a bit disappointing.

What is good about this is that the arrangements are done by the man himself. Magnificent music, played by the world’s foremost cellist. Ennio Morricone died in 2020, and he was working until the end. Just four years before he collected his second Oscar (his first being ‘honorary’) for The hateful eight, by fan and filmmaker Quentin Tarantino.
