An amazing musician
My name is Fred Stevens, and I’m a musician. Actually, I’m a classical musician. I started
playing the cello when I was six years old. Now I play with the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra. I love
classical music, but I listen to a lot of other things, too. My mp3 player has more than 500 songs on it. I
like rock, pop, and hip hop – all kinds of music. Last week I went to a Coldplay concert. They’re really
fantastic. They’re one of my favorite bands. I have three of their albums.
My favorite classical musician is—you guessed it—Yo-Yo Ma. He’s probably the most famous
cello player in the world, but he doesn’t only play the music of Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms. In 2003,
Yo-Yo Ma made an album called Obrigado Brazil. In this album he mixed classical cello together with
Brazilian music. It’s really amazing.
In 2011, he made an album called The Goat Rodeo Sessions. In this album, Yo-Yo Ma played his
cello with American bluegrass musicians. Some people didn’t like this album. But many musicians loved
it. Mixing classical music with other kinds of music is really interesting, I think.
You can also hear Yo-Yo Ma’s music in movies. He played music in the movie Crouching Tiger,
Hidden Dragon in 2000, Master and Commander in 2003, and Memoirs of a Geisha in 2005. Sometimes
I ask myself, “What kind of music does Yo-Yo Ma have on his mp3 player?” I don’t know. But I think he
listens to all kinds of music – just like I do!

2 Fred’s favorite classical musician is Yo-Yo Ma. F T

2. ■Read the text again and choose the correct number or year to complete the
