※18座葛莱美奖得主、肯尼迪艺术中心第34届荣誉奖得主，全球最受爱戴华裔大提琴家马友友年度话题跨界最新力作！ ※精准表现巴赫音乐的纯粹韵味，重新定义新世纪的巴赫音乐新品味！ ※跨领域杰出乐手迈尔（低音大提琴）＋泰尔（曼陀林）创意融合，精彩可期！ 巴赫的音乐，总是能带给后世音乐家丰沛的灵感。不管是与他同行的古典音乐作曲家，或是当代的流行音乐的创作者，以巴赫为缪思者，不可胜数。华人大提琴家马友友，也名列巴赫的爱好者之林，他至少留下两套巴赫无伴奏大提琴录音/影，年过耳顺，曾在逍遥音乐节安排全本巴赫无伴奏音乐会。马友友一直保持对音乐的热情，永不受限，勇于尝试的活力源源不绝。他在这张2017年全新跨领域专辑《巴赫新聆感》合作的两位乐手好朋友，其实是合作多年的好搭档。低音大提琴家埃德加•迈尔第一次与马友友合作专辑是在1996，迈尔与曼陀林演奏家克里斯‧泰尔首度现场合作则是在2003年，他们总共一起录制了两张别出心裁的二重奏专辑，并且在最近的2014年赢得了葛莱美奖的肯定。三人一起合作的纪录，可以追溯到2008年马友友的贺节录音《欢乐颂》Songs of Joy and Peace，以及叫好又叫座的《迷情时刻》The Goat Rodeo Sessions。 《纽约时报》曾经如此中肯地评价马友友的巴赫诠释：很少有大提琴家像马友友一样，能够透过演奏技巧，精准地把想象力用琴声表现出来。对马友友来说，这张专辑或许可以理解成他在经过多年来历任丝路计划艺术总监、芝加哥交响乐团创意顾问，以及最近在2016年起担任肯尼迪艺术中心艺术顾问，一路走来的心路结晶。《巴赫新聆感》还有一个值得一提的亮点，就是曼陀林演奏家克里斯‧泰尔，他除了曾经在柯恩兄弟执导的电影《醉乡民谣》电影原声带里有抢眼的表现之外，最近一张被高度瞩目的专辑就是他以独奏曼陀林演出录制的巴赫无伴奏小提琴奏鸣曲与组曲（第一集），泰尔用他手上这把能见度并不高的拨弦乐器，让世人听见不一样的巴赫音乐，也让我们重新思考巴赫音乐无限的可能性。 Multiple Grammy-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma has a celebrity status and appeal that stretch far beyond fans of classical music. His success is due to a willingness to try new things, a genuine wish to share what he enjoys, plus a mastery of his instrument that comes through regardless of the musical style. Ma was born in Paris and, as the child of two musicians, naturally began music lessons very early, trying piano and all the string instruments before settling on cello. His first public performance was at the age of five. Ma's family moved to New York when Ma was seven so he could study with Janos Scholz. Before the age of ten, Ma had performed for Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy, and had appeared on television with his sister in a concert led by Leonard Bernstein and on The Tonight Show. Ma became a student of Leonard Rose at Juilliard, but did not complete his studies there. He was inspired by seeing the commitment of nonagenarian Pablo Casals at the Marlboro Festival and enrolled at Harvard to finish his degree. Ma received the Avery Fisher Prize in 1978, and his breakout album was 1983's Bach: The Six Unaccompanied Cello Suites. Many composers, including William Bolcom, Tod Machover, John Corigliano, Christopher Rouse, and Bright Sheng, have written pieces for him. During the 1980s, many of Ma's recordings were traditional repertoire with pianist Emanuel Ax and violinist Isaac Stern. In the mid-'90s, he returned to the Bach Suites, recording them for six short films in collaboration with director Atom Egoyan, ice dancers Torvill & Dean, dancer Mark Morris, and other artists. He also began exploring other types of music: improvising alongside Bobby McFerrin on Hush (1992), then bluegrass with Edgar Meyer and Mark O'Connor on Appalachia Waltz (1996). In 1998, Ma founded the Silk Road Ensemble to explore the music of cultures found along the early trade route. His popular releases include 2003's Obrigado Brazil; 2004's Vivaldi's Cello; and 2011's Goat Rodeo Sessions, with Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile, and Stuart Duncan. In 2001 he was awarded the American National Medal by the National Endowment for the Arts, and in 2006 he was named one of the United Nations' Peace Ambassadors. He has served on the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities and worked with outreach programs with the Chicago Symphony and, with the Silk Road Ensemble, the New York public schools. Ma has appeared on television's Sesame Street, The Simpsons, and The Colbert Report and at events such as the 2002 Olympic Games opening ceremonies, Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration, and a service honoring Boston Marathon bombing victims.
