Description

The times, they are a-changin'. While American folk songs were once considered the fare of coffee houses and open-air festivals, the genre's stars are now performing in the rarefied air of the concert hall. Three virtuoso musicians--cellist Yo-Yo Ma, double bassist Edgar Meyer, and mandolinist Chris Thile (the newly minted host of "A Prairie Home Companion")--are combining their classical training and appreciation of bluegrass to take on Bach. The trio will perform various works by the German baroque master, all arranged for cello, upright bass and mandolin. The three released Bach Trios earlier this month on Nonesuch Records.
