Cello Suite No. 1

Sony Classical, under Sony. Bach, played as work a person can sit with.

CBS Masterworks, now Sony Classical, released Ma's suites. Sony owns the imprint. There is no video to help it. A person draws a bow and the room either settles or it does not.

Keep it where the house does homework, or where someone is learning to be quiet. It will not entertain a restless room. That is a recommendation.

Order, heard as something worth bowing toward.

The player stays exposed for the whole piece.

It does not pretend to be a feeling it has not earned.

A thing to grow up near.

Live historicallyTwenty minutes, once this week, with the phones in another room.

All of Me

Columbia, under Sony. He is not renting the evening. He is giving the person.

Columbia released it, with GOOD Music. Sony owns Columbia. Weddings took it because the sentence is the right size: not a spark, a handing over. The risk is singing it once in a suit and never again in a kitchen.

If the house plays it, play it on an ordinary night, and ask whether the offer still stands.

The eight

Industry
7/10
A piano and a vow, left mostly alone. That takes nerve.
Household
9/10
A body, a mind, the cards. He is talking about a marriage.
Piety
6/10
Love, said as if it were answerable to something.
Courage
7/10
He bets the whole hand.
Republic
5/10
Two people. The promise is still the kind a town can witness.
Temperance
7/10
No extra. The feeling is large and it stays put.
Truth
8/10
All of me is a dangerous sentence, and he says it anyway.
Stewardship
8/10
A song a couple can mean, if they mean it on a Tuesday.

Live historicallyNot only at a wedding. Once this month, at the table, and then do one unglamorous thing the vow requires.
