  Non vocalists might not grasp just how unbelievable Bobby's singing is in the Ave Maria/Prelude in C. But singers will know that this is just insane. To move your voice to quickly with large leaps, going in and out of different registers with THAT degree of accuracy is simply mind blowing. The lower notes that could be easy to fake or be slightly out of tune, because leaping to such a different register so quickly makes it difficult to control your voice precisely, are ALL perfect, despite quickly changing harmonies. Just WOW

  Bobby’s pitch is absolutely insane! And Yo Yo is a monster!

  This is amazing! One of the great things about Yo Yo Ma is that he's so willing to do non traditional music collaborations. And how Bobby can keep track of his notes is so impressive.

  Yo Yo Ma, perhaps the best of his generation, and Bobby McFerrin is an absolute freak of nature with his pitch and vocal agility.

  It's impossible not to fall in love with this duo. Together they create magic. I'm coming back in January 2023. Splendor for musical skills. Love from Chicago.

  McFerrin was the master of the human voice. Yo-Yo Ma the master of the cello.

  The last song reminds me of Bobby’s Circle Songs. Those songs got me through my recovery with a herniated disc in my lower back. For weeks, the only way I could fall asleep was listening to Circle Songs. So grateful for these gifted musicians.

  Bobby & Yoyo, two lovely guys. 90's, what a gorgeous golden age where everything just blossomed.
