巴赫的音樂，總是能帶給后世音樂家豐沛的靈感。不管是與他同行的古典音樂作曲家，或是當代的流行音樂的創作者，以巴赫為繆思者，不可勝數。華人大提琴家馬友友，也名列巴赫的愛好者之林，他至少留下兩套巴赫無伴奏大提琴錄音/影，年過耳順，曾在逍遙音樂節安排全本巴赫無伴奏音樂會。馬友友一直保持對音樂的熱情，永不受限，勇于嘗試的活力源源不絕。他在這張2017年全新跨領域專輯《巴赫新聆感》合作的兩位樂手好朋友，其實是合作多年的好搭檔。低音大提琴家埃德加?邁爾第一次與馬友友合作專輯是在1996，邁爾與曼陀林演奏家克里斯?泰爾首度現場合作則是在2003年，他們總共一起錄制了兩張別出心裁的二重奏專輯，并且在最近的2014年贏得了葛萊美獎的肯定。三人一起合作的紀錄，可以追溯到2008年馬友友的賀節錄音《歡樂頌》Songs of Joy and Peace，以及叫好又叫座的《迷情時刻》The Goat Rodeo Sessions。

《紐約時報》曾經如此中肯地評價馬友友的巴赫詮釋：很少有大提琴家像馬友友一樣，能夠透過演奏技巧，精準地把想象力用琴聲表現出來。對馬友友來說，這張專輯或許可以理解成他在經過多年來歷任絲路計劃藝術總監、芝加哥交響樂團創意顧問，以及最近在2016年起擔任肯尼迪藝術中心藝術顧問，一路走來的心路結晶?！栋秃招埋龈小愤€有一個值得一提的亮點，就是曼陀林演奏家克里斯?泰爾，他除了曾經在柯恩兄弟執導的電影《醉鄉民謠》電影原聲帶里有搶眼的表現之外，最近一張被高度矚目的專輯就是他以獨奏曼陀林演出錄制的巴赫無伴奏小提琴奏鳴曲與組曲（第一集），泰爾用他手上這把能見度并不高的撥弦樂器，讓世人聽見不一樣的巴赫音樂，也讓我們重新思考巴赫音樂無限的可能性。

Multiple Grammy-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma has a celebrity status and appeal that stretch far beyond fans of classical music. His success is due to a willingness to try new things, a genuine wish to share what he enjoys, plus a mastery of his instrument that comes through regardless of the musical style. Ma was born in Paris and, as the child of two musicians, naturally began music lessons very early, trying piano and all the string instruments before settling on cello. His first public performance was at the age of five. Ma's family moved to New York when Ma was seven so he could study with Janos Scholz. Before the age of ten, Ma had performed for Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy, and had appeared on television with his sister in a concert led by Leonard Bernstein and on The Tonight Show. Ma became a student of Leonard Rose at Juilliard, but did not complete his studies there. He was inspired by seeing the commitment of nonagenarian Pablo Casals at the Marlboro Festival and enrolled at Harvard to finish his degree. Ma received the Avery Fisher Prize in 1978, and his breakout album was 1983's Bach: The Six Unaccompanied Cello Suites. Many composers, including William Bolcom, Tod Machover, John Corigliano, Christopher Rouse, and Bright Sheng, have written pieces for him. During the 1980s, many of Ma's recordings were traditional repertoire with pianist Emanuel Ax and violinist Isaac Stern. In the mid-'90s, he returned to the Bach Suites, recording them for six short films in collaboration with director Atom Egoyan, ice dancers Torvill & Dean, dancer Mark Morris, and other artists. He also began exploring other types of music: improvising alongside Bobby McFerrin on Hush (1992), then bluegrass with Edgar Meyer and Mark O'Connor on Appalachia Waltz (1996). In 1998, Ma founded the Silk Road Ensemble to explore the music of cultures found along the early trade route. His popular releases include 2003's Obrigado Brazil; 2004's Vivaldi's Cello; and 2011's Goat Rodeo Sessions, with Edgar Meyer, Chris Thile, and Stuart Duncan. In 2001 he was awarded the American National Medal by the National Endowment for the Arts, and in 2006 he was named one of the United Nations' Peace Ambassadors. He has served on the President's Committee on the Arts and Humanities and worked with outreach programs with the Chicago Symphony and, with the Silk Road Ensemble, the New York public schools. Ma has appeared on television's Sesame Street, The Simpsons, and The Colbert Report and at events such as the 2002 Olympic Games opening ceremonies, Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration, and a service honoring Boston Marathon bombing victims.
