Synopsis by Michael Hastings
Ice skaters Torville and Dean explain to cellist Yo-Yo Ma how they translate the composer's notes into dance moves, and give a sample performance. This segment comes courtesy of Yo-Yo Ma's Inspired by Bach series, in which the musician teams up with contemporary artists from a variety of media to create new works based upon the composer's legendary works.
