The Chairman's Waltz

This is my favorite track on the soundtrack. Yo Yo Ma plays the solo cello, the overall melody of the song. The piece is sad and soft, and the cello is brilliant. The emotion tied into the scene where Chiyo meets the Chairman for the first time is powerful, and this song accurately captures that feeling. The composition of the various elements in the song is captivating. Definitely has a repeat value.
