A Gathering of Friends is another gem in John Williams' magnificent Indian summer. The Cello Concerto, one of his most lyrical concert works, is a revised version of the piece written for Yo-Yo Ma in 1994 (and which he recorded in 2001). Twenty years on, and after substantial rethinks, it emerges tighter, stronger, and with a palpable joie de vivre. The finale, Song, is thrilling and really sings out in its new guise, with the New York Philharmonic in top form. The Schindler’s List pieces touch the heart while the works with guitar and harp (such as Highwood's Ghost, composed for the 2018 Leonard Bernstein centennial) are beautifully and affectionately done.

Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Kathryn Stott come together again, this time for Songs of Comfort and Hope, set for release on December 11, 2020 on Sony Classical. Available now for preorder, Songs of Comfort and Hope is inspired by the series of recorded-at-home musical offerings that Ma began sharing in the first days of the COVID-19 lockdown in the United States. Throughout the spring and summer, Yo-Yo Ma's #SongsofComfort grew from a self-shot video of Antonin Dvorak's "Goin' Home" into a worldwide effort that has reached more than 18 million people.
