Mendelssohn: Piano Trios Op 49 Op 66

Yo-Yo Ma

SONY CLASSICS, 2010

The best Mendelssohn OP 49 yet!
I've got the Casals recording at the White House in 1961 and the Heifetz/Piatigorsky/Rubenstein version from 1950. I believe the Ma/Ax/Perlmanrecording is the most beautiful, joyful and expressive of the 3.

Super Hits

Yo-Yo Ma

SonyBMG Special Markets, 2007

Beautiful music at a great price
This was actually and ad-hoc purchase to allow free shipping on other items. I've purchased a lot of music recently and with this disc I've scored once again (meaning I really enjoyed music I've never heard previously)! This is a great sampler that has something for ...

A little gem.
Signs of intelligent life on Earth; when I added this to my iTunes library I gave it my highest complement: "Gemmy". This lovely meditation on Appalachian themes by three fine string musicians has special guests James Taylor and Alison Krauss. I love this recording. ...

Bach: The 6 Unaccompanied Cello Suites

Johann Sebastian Bach

Sony, 2006

J S Bach & Yo-Yo Ma
A superb performance of the kind one has come too expect of Yo-Yo Ma - rich, sensitive, subtle, and not a wolf-tone anywhere.

Heartland: An Appalachian Anthology

Edgar Meyer, English Traditional, ...

Sony, 2001

A piece of heaven
Heartland is a haven and a piece of heaven. I was transported.

Yo-Yo Ma & Bobby McFerrin: Hush

Bobby McFerrin, Antonio Vivaldi, ...

Sony, 1992

Great for kids!
This was one of my favorite tapes as a kid and am glad that it is still around so that I can give it to my sister for her kids. Who doesn't love a good excuse to sing along and make noises all at the same time?

Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone

Ennio Morricone, Ennio / Tommasi, Amedeo Morricone, ...

Sony, 2004

Yo Yo Ma Plays Morricone
This is my most favorite CD. I loved the movie, "The Mission" and especially Gabriel's Oboe! I just wish it was longer. The whole CD is wonderful. Such feeling!

Songs of Joy & Peace

Yo-Yo Ma

Sony, 2008

Must Have Yo-Yo Ma
I sent it as a Christmas gift to my mother and she loved it! I had seen the special on TV about the making of the CD and enjoyed the emotions that each song brought out in me - truly lovely... though it's a X-mas CD it can be enjoyed throughout the year.

Simply Baroque

Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Christoph Bach, ...

Sony, 2003

YO YO MA'S SIMPLY BAROQUE IS SIMPLY... WONDERFUL !
The Baroque Period in Europe originated in the early 17th century and reached it's peak in the early 18th century. The English word "baroque" is translated from the Italian "barocco", meaning "bizarre". "Passionate" is probably more like it. Johann Sebastian Bach is ...

Appalachia Waltz / Ma, Meyer, O'Connor

Irish Traditional, Mark O'Connor, ...

Sony, 1996

Beautiful
Anyone giving this less than 4 stars must be kidding. This is beautiful. I'm not a "classical" fan, but this isn't a "classical" album. Something about the instruments being played with a bow and not picked/plucked/hit didn't sit right with me at first, it's like ...
