Songs from the Arc of Life

A life is an arc of experience, from beginning to end and all the notes in between. The new album, Songs from the Arc of Life, is a musical journey shared by Yo-Yo Ma and Kathryn Stott, and a window into our universal adventure through life and time. "&"nbsp; Longtime friends, cellist Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Kathryn Stott, create a unique classical music experience with their new recording, Songs from the Arc of Life. The album includes pieces they have frequently performed but never recorded, as well as a handful of discoveries. Songs from the Arc of Life begins and ends with two, much-beloved settings of the traditional "&"ldquo;Ave Maria,"&"rdquo; opening with the soaring, radiant Bach/Gounod arrangement and closing with Schubert"&"rsquo;s more serene, contemplative version. In between is a remarkable spectrum of music that includes such enduring favorites as Brahms"&"rsquo; "&"ldquo;Lullaby,"&"rdquo; Dvor"&"aacute;k"&"rsquo;s "&"ldquo;Songs My Mother Taught Me,"&"rdquo; Elgar"&"rsquo;s "&"ldquo;Salut d"&"rsquo;amour,"&"rdquo; Gade"&"rsquo;s "&"ldquo;Tango Jalousie"&"rdquo; and Saint-Sa"&"euml;ns"&"rsquo; "&"ldquo;The Swan,"&"rdquo; as well as richly evocative works by Debussy, Delius, Faur"&"eacute;, Gershwin, Grieg, Kreisler, Messiaen, Schumann, Sibelius and Tchaikovsky. Ma and Stott also include a haunting piece by the contemporary composer Giovanni Sollima, a friend and colleague of both artists. Songs from the Arc of Life is also available on 180-Gram vinyl. "&"nbsp; Yo-Yo Ma is undeniably the most iconic classical artist of our time. Winner of 18 Grammy"&"reg; Awards, Yo-Yo Ma has sold over 7 million albums in the U.S. His 2008 album Songs of Joy "&"amp; Peace is certified Gold, and his last album, 2011"&"rsquo;s Goat Rodeo Sessions, has sold over 200,000 albums.
