Yo-Yo Ma - Simply Baroque (Music On Vinyl) [Aquamarine Vinyl]

• Available November 20th, 2026
• Orders including this title will be held back

Originally released in 1999, Yo-Yo Ma's Simply Baroque was recorded with Ton Koopman and the period-instrument Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra. He plays a Baroque cello strung with gut and played without an endpin, held between the legs so the sound comes from the body of the instrument alone.

The first record collects arrangements of Bach, including "Erbarme Dich" from the St. Matthew Passion, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and the Air from the Orchestral Suite No. 3. The second record holds two cello concertos by Luigi Boccherini, G. 480 in G major and G. 478 in D major.

Limited Edition AQUAMARINE heavyweight audiophile 2LP vinyl edition produced by Music On Vinyl in 2026. Includes 4 page booklet with liner notes. Limited to 500 copies worldwide.
