EMI Classics, 2008 Superb I only heard the Gershwin and Bernstein Suites. I was so taken with the extraordinary / superb arrangements, that surpass even the original scores, that I confidently feel, both composers would second me and aplaud these Eroica Trio renditions as well.             The Essential Yo-Yo Ma Edgar Meyer, Hector Console, ... Sony, 2005 pure genius No instrument asks more from the soul of an artist as the cello does. Yo Yo Ma shows to be master of the instrument and his interpretations en technique are pure genius. Everyone should have this album in his (or hers of course) basic classical collection             The Fiddle Concerto Mark O'Connor Warner Bros / Wea, 1995 Bluegrass Meets Mozart This wonderful CD is an honest attempt to marry American bluegrass idom to classical music forms. The result manages to be both toe-tapping and extraordinarily rich; maybe Dvorak would have joined in with O'Connor if he were alive today and came back to Iowa. I can't ...             The Other Side of Time Mary Fahl Sony, 2003 Mary Fahl CD-The Other Side of Time Mary Fahl's voice gets better with time no matter what side of time she's on.

It's wonderful to hear three such talented musicians put together a collection of non-classical music on revered instruments. This is not "The Yo-yo Ma Show" with two other guys! The music is varied but the performances are great and -- in some cases, e.g. Appalachia ...             Sacred Songs Johann Sebastian Bach, Hector Berlioz, ... Decca, 2005 Outstanding I had seen this program on PBS and wanted the CD.

Didn't expect an outstanding cd, don't know exactly why i got it,maybe because of yo yo and bela, but every piece is played beautifully, even the vocal piece by James Taylor. The album is almost too good to be called Heartland, every piece is a class act. Bravo!             Double Violin Concerto Mark O'Connor, Spiritual Traditional, ... Omac, 2005 Expansive Americana Mark O'Connor has become quite the composer in recent years.

Sony, 2001 Awesome While most people on this site see the "classic" in the title of the album as referring to classical music only, they are mistaken. Classic Yo-Yo refers to his style, not the genre into which his music choices fall. The list of tracks alone should have been a big ...             The American Seasons Mark O'Connor, Scott Yoo, ... Sony, 2001 This man just goes from strength to strength. In a relatively short period of time, I've managed to very nearly become a Mark O'Connor "compleatist," grabbing up virtually everything he's released on disc. This new release - "The American Seasons" - goes to the top of my O'Connor short list, along with "Heroes" ...             Golijov: Yiddishbbuk St. Lawrence String Quartet, Todd Palmer, ... EMI Classics, 2007 It's All About Sound, Isn't It? It's extraordinarily hard to comprehend what other people "hear" when they listen to music, or to guess what they expect to hear when they listen to new music. The reviews of this CD are dramatically polarized and confrontational. Okay, I should have expected as much, ...             In Full Swing Mark O'Connor, Hot Swing Trio, ... Sony, 2003 the word 'incredible' doesn't do this CD justice Very simply said, "stellar work". The improvisational style of this genre of music is right down these guys' alley. Precision is second nature to these guys, too. Also, if you ever get the chance to see the "Hot Swing Trio" live, GO SEE THEM! I could sit and listen to ...             Mark O'Connor: Folk Mass Mark O'Connor, Elizabeth C.
