Yo-Yo Ma plays Bach's Six Solo Cello Suites Odeon of Herodes Atticus

About

“These suites are so meaningful. They’re not only companions and friends, but they’ve also been reference points in my life… For almost six decades, they have given me sustenance, comfort, and joy during times of stress, celebration, and loss. What power does this music possess that even today, after three hundred years, it continues to help us navigate through troubled times?” –Yo-Yo Ma
