A Gathering of Friends
Yo-yo Ma, John Williams, New York Philharmonic
The 40-year friendship between two musical titans, John Williams & Yo-Yo Ma, reaches a new peak with A Gathering of Friends.
The incredible warmth & brilliance of composer/conductor John Williams is felt throughout this album of both his concert music (a newly revised Cello Concerto) and his legendary film music, including a powerful new arrangement of the Theme from Schindlers List, brought to life by Yo-Yo Ma and the world-renowned New York Philharmonic.
Another highlight from the John Williams film music catalog is Yo-Yo Mas performance of With Malice Toward None, an inviting and uplifting melody from the movie Lincoln, inspired by Abraham Lincolns second inaugural address.
Other featured artists & friends include the virtuoso Spanish guitarist Pablo Sáinz Villegas on a delicate cello/guitar arrangement of A Prayer for Peace from the movie Munich, and Boston Symphony Orchestra harpist Jessica Zhou on Highwoods Ghost.
