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

Obrigado Brazil Live in Concert

Sony, 2004

a classical-Latin music blend
Yo Yo Ma and his fellow musicians make beautiful music in this mellow adaptation of melodies that have their origin in Latin America. The opening track is a version of "Libertango", heard in the fabulous soundtrack of the film "The Tango Lesson", and one of the three ...

The Lost Days: Music in the Latin Style

Denyce Graves

RCA, 2003

Haunting, bewitching: a real must have
This record is exquisite in all its elements: the Voice of Graves -voice with a capital V!-, the selections, the arrangements! For me it would take hours to try to decipher its mystery of seduction. A real must for those who love poetry, music and the marriage of both. ...

Yo-Yo Ma

Sony, 2003

Obrigado Brazil
The tempos and sensuality of Brazilian music meshed with the artistry and joyous soul of Yo Yo Ma: a recipe for pleasure. I first listened to this on my car CD player and found myself wanting to pull over and get out and dance. The depth of Ma's cello adds just the ...

There Aren't Enough Stars...
Of the thousands of albums/cds I have purchased in my lifetime -- were I to have to pick only one to keep -- this would be it. The mark of the collection is an exquisite sensibility and technical excellence. In several of the pieces, you can feel as if your soul, ...

The Classical Underground

Valerie Coleman, Paquito D'Rivera, ...

Koch Int'l Classics, 2005

Stunningly original
This CD is an edgy, fresh look at the genre of the woodwind quintet. Instead of the typical 20th century (mostly French) literature that woodwind quintets typically perform, the Imani Winds have sought out (and composed) works by African and Latin American composers. ...

Life Music

Quartz, 2005

A dazzling and gripping anthology of contemporary quartet writing
Though all works on this disc were written in 1999 or 2000, the listener need not fear any academic experimentation or sounds that are less than pleasant to the ear. All four pieces are solidly tonal, and clearly written from a desire to communicate. And so they do. ...
