Yo-Yo Ma opened the Celebrity Series season with a splendid solo cello recital for a packed house at Symphony Hall last night. Naturally, we have had many inquiries regarding the encore selections. So, for the record, they were as follows, in order:
1. Mark O'Connor, Appalachia Waltz
(available on the recording Appalachia Waltz)
2. Mongolian Folk Song, Summer in the High Grassland
(available on the recording Silk Road Journeys: Beyond the Horizon)
3. J.S. Bach, Suite No. 1, S. 1007 In G Major: Prelude
(available on the recording Bach: Six Unaccompanied Cello Suites)
