It’s one of classical music’s most celebrated partnerships: cellist Yo-Yo Ma and pianist Emanuel Ax have been close friends and musical collaborators ever since their youthful days at Juilliard in New York. As Gramophone has written: “In their hyper-sensitivity, Emanuel Ax and Yo-Yo Ma are as closely attuned as any two artists you could ever hope to meet.” This set showcases their complete recordings together on Sony Classical.
