[quote=Anonymous]Not Boston - he came to Boston last year in October and played Shostakovich, I had a great ticket for my first ever visit to Boston Symphony Hall and ended up not being able to go because I injured my knee and could not deal with navigating the venue. Really sorry I missed it, as I love the misery of Shostakovich.

Decades ago when I was in college I worked at our performing arts center and was thrilled to see Yo Yo Ma perform for our season opener and feature event. I paid for very good tickets and took my mother. This was years before YouTube and all that and I didn’t have a clue what the music was - it turned out to be some atonal nightmare that nearly made me cry. It was still great seeing Yo Yo Ma perform but the music was such a disappointment.

My introduction to Yo Yo Ma was by a high school symphony instructor and violist who recommended his recording of the Bach cello suites which I promptly bought at Tower Records - what a great recording!

Yo Yo Ma is still at his peak, by the way. Always take up an opportunity to see him live.
