Yo Yo Ma: In our dreams we can have a world that is perfect and that sometimes happens in music

One of the main events at this year’s Dvořák Prague Festival was
without question Monday’s opening concert of Antonín Dvořák’s
Symphony No. 2 and the composer’s Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, with
world-renowned American cellist Yo Yo Ma. He first performed with the Czech
Philharmonic back in 1989, under the baton of conductor Václav Neumann,
just as Czechoslovakia was emerging from over 40 years of Communist rule.
