Yo-Yo Ma and Mark Morris perform J.S. Bach's Cello Suite No.3 Prelude

Okay, here's another favorite and one that I think really showcases Mark's sense of irony and tragedy in his humor by naming his dance "Falling Down Stairs". I have the entire video collection of the Bach Cello Suites performed by Yo-Yo Ma and over the years I have always returned to play this particular one before the others. In the video for the Prelude, Mark talks about how a dream of one of his dancer's falling down stairs became the inspiration for the choreography....yowch!
