Yo-Yo Ma never played it better than this.
"Poem for Carlita" by Mark O'Connor
"The history making trio of Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer and Mark O'Connor perform O'Connor's
composition 'Poem for Carlita" at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.
The three virtuoso string players performed this new American Classical music with
such depth, passion and detail that the New York City audience erupted in an ovation
after Yo-Yo Ma's final - nearly silent harmonic note. Notice the look of admiration on
O'Connor's face as he looks at Ma at the conclusion of the piece, impressed by the
cellist's interpretive skills of his music. It is evident that this performance went to
a new place for the trio and a new level for American Classical string playing...
