In Search Of: _______________

I'm currently listening to Yo Yo Ma play Bach's Cello Suites I-III. "Play" is hardly a word I'd use to describe his craft. Ma's cello work is alternately heavy and emotional, light and playful, whatever Bach's score calls for. But Ma not only performs, he becomes one with his instrument. There are moments on the recording where a sharp intake of breath can be heard. In my imagination, I wonder if it is him or the cello.

This is what I listen to at the office to escape the banality of everyday life here.
