Yo-Yo Ma / Chris Thile / Edgar Meyer
Bach Trios
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2017 2LP gatefold original. Includes digital download code. "A unique group of multi-talented musicians offers a new perspective on one of the richest catalogs in the classical repertoire. Cellist Yo-Yo Ma is an acknowledged master of his instrument, and celebrated for his interpretations of J.S. Bach. Always eager to stretch the boundaries of his art, Ma set out to create a set of new arrangements of Bach keyboard pieces for a string trio. Ma chose a pair of gifted and eclectically minded collaborators for the album Bach: Trios -- bassist Edgar Meyer and mandolin player Chris Thile, both of whom are as comfortable with bluegrass and improvisational music as with the classical repertoire (and both of whom have been awarded MacArthur Foundation "genius grants"). Together, Ma, Meyer, and Thile demonstrate how they can honor tradition while bringing new ideas and influences to Bach's music on these recordings." All Music Guide - Mark Deming
