Sony, 2008

No Dark, Sullen Winter Here!
These days anthologies of a given leading musician with assorted guests are commonplace, and we have seen them in rock, jazz, blues, and even country. But Yo-Yo Ma is a classical musician who ventures far into other realms, from his Silk Road Project to Bossa Nova and ...

SONY CLASSICS, 2007

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, ...

They Are All Good!
Danzon is an excellent record! I have been listening to TISQ since they began in the eighties. They are supurb musicians all the way around. Their use of the standard emsemble string quartet seems to get brighter and more astounding with each record. A good example of ...

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 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

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 ...

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. ...

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. ...
