Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Gimme a break Comment: Pretentious, self-indulgent, superficial. Ma is a great cellist, but this dvd tries to make him stretch to places he should attempt as a musician, not an actor. Listen to Rostropovich for profundity. This is mere fluff. Some producer really fell down the stairs on this one Customer Rating: Summary: Inspired Comment: As a dancer I found this DVD a true inspiration. Yo-Yo Ma's gentle manner and love of the creative soul in all of us is seen through both short movies. Mark morris is exquisite in capturing in movement the core of flowing gentleness and playfulness of Bach as played by Yo-Yo Ma. An awesome experience in sight and sound! Customer Rating: Summary: Disappointing Comment: Yo-Yo Ma is a wonderful cellist. Unfortunately, this DVD does not showcase his talent but is hijacked by self-indulgent "filmmakers" who think we are interested in Mark Morris' artistic angst as he struggles through choreograpic rehearsals complete with four-letter expletives. Yo-Yo is talked-over background music in much "Falling Down Stairs," which reminded me of the bumper sticker: "Humpty Dumpty was pushed." I deposited the DVD in the trash before finishing "Sarabande."

I deposited the DVD in the trash before finishing "Sarabande." "Falling Down Stairs" (55 min.) features Bach's Suite No. 3 for Unaccompanied Cello. Although he knew the music well, Mark Morris had never thought to choreograph a dance based on Bach's "Third Suite." He felt the music was complete in itself. But through a close collaboration with Yo-Yo Ma, an astonishing dance emerges, a true three-way collaboration between musician, dancers and filmmaker Barbara Willis Sweete. "Sarabande" (56 min.) features Bach's Suite No. 4 for Unaccompanied Cello. A great musician instinctively builds a complex and intimate relationship with his listeners. This dramatic film from director Atom Egoyan (The Sweet Hereafter) explores a number of such relationships, revealing the generosity of spirit and love that flow from Yo-Yo Ma's performance.
