Following the great success of The Goat Rodeo Sessions album (88697891862), The Goat Rodeo Sessions Live on DVD and Blu-Ray brings cellist Yo-Yo Ma, fiddler Stuart Duncan, bassist Edgar Meyer and mandolinist Chris Thile together for a one-night-only concert that was filmed at the House of Blues in Boston in January 2012. The four string virtuosos were joined by guest vocalist, Aoife O’Donovan. While each musician is a renowned superstar in his own sphere, they have come together now as a unified ensemble on a most remarkable and organic cross-genre project stemming from their friendship, and the title concept. The Goat Rodeo is summed up by Yo-Yo Ma: “In the end, what we’re trying to do is simply make music that transcends whatever roots or categories of backgrounds that it starts from – that just exists as something that we’re trying to express, through our community of values, as a moment in time creating very special music.”
