...and I very much enjoyed the performance too. I don't know if Yo-Yo was physically in WGBH's facility but the announcer said WGBH "produced" or something like that, so I assumed they played some role in making it all work (thought I picked up the stream from USC's radio station website in California.) Ma may even have been playing from his home but it sounded like he was in a fairly large, reverberant space with no ambient noise, so likely not a house or apartment. Interestingly to me, Ma's brief spoken remarks between the suites did not have the same sonic signature of "space" so I think he must have used a different, close microphone before switching back to the setup used with his cello playing.
