Csmithbarc, it would help us offer some suggestions if you would tell us the title and author of the piece of music Yo Yo Ma played that you liked. Then we might be able to direct you to some other that is at least in that same ballpark for you to explore. The repertoire is vast. Also, Ma plays a lot of cross-over. No point in us making recommendations of classical music if what you heard was popular music, jazz, Appalacian, etc.

I happened to see a 2 disc CD set of Yo Yo Ma. It was a best of CD and had excerpts from his many CD's.

The music is listened to was on
Bach: The Cello Suites Inspired By Bach

Get the Brahms double concerto with Richter, Oistrakh, and Rostropovich. You also get the Beethoven triple concerto on that disc, but the Brahms I believe is the true prize there. Wonderful cello music.
