A Great Marriage of "Talents".
This is a fabulous combination of two phenomenal talents and I loved it so much that I give it as gifts... and the receivers are immedate fans. I'll leave the technical jargon for those more gifted and eloquent writers and conclude by saying, it was wonderful!

Amazing!
As an American living abroad, this made me homesick. I listened 3 times in 24 hours and it only got better.

A Christmas album for people who are sick of Christmas
Sometimes, when a classical artist decides to branch out into other forms of music, the result is laughable -- perfect chops but no soul. Yo-Yo Ma has managed to beat that result several times, and this disc is one of them. He is the sort of musician who notes artistic worth even if the player didn't graduate from Julliard, and chose a great mix from his acquaintances outside the concert-hall ...

Super Hits This album can be summed up in one word... "GREAT" Although I enjoyed the Christmas album a little bit more, I can't think of anything negative to say about this man's work...sleep to it on my MP3 and headphones every night along with a few other of his albums. AWESOME album!!!!

Vivaldi and the 'cello: Like cheese and fine wine!
Vivaldi's music is a joyful celebration of life. Although his works for the 'cello are well known, the violin usually takes priority. Yo Yo Ma's interpretation of Vivaldi through the 'cello, both music Vivaldi wrote for the violoncello and violin music adapted for it, is a musical miracle. Composers of the Baroque Era often rearanged music for various instruments; so no artistic damage is ...

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 the most celebrated of the Baroque composers, although George Frederick Handel and Antonio Vivaldi are also famous for their Baroque ...

Sexy and driving
This music is addictive. The Libertango is super sexy with that syncopation and the beautiful dynamics coming from the cello. I love this CD.
Bach: The 6 Unaccompanied Cello Suites

Johann Sebastian Bach
Sony, 2006
works of genius
These cello suites, masterfully played by Yo-Yo Ma, are complex and beautiful compositions. Yo-Yo Ma is able to extract considerable elegance and emotion from the series since his control of the cello is absolutely complete and inspiring. This results in a series of suites that push the cello to the full extent of its capacities as a baroque instrument and as the medium by which Bach's full ...

A thoroughly enjoyable trip through Central Asia and a few other places.
I have just added this to my musical library and am enjoying it. From the first beat of the first note of Khongozurl's long song you are transported to central Asia - the land of horses and gers. Of all the pieces I was most interested in listening to the second piece - Legend of Herlen. This to me, was the real silk road. The morin khuur has a very rich and unusual tone that made we want to ...

What Can I say???
This CD is anyone who longs to travel to far away, exotic places but cannot afford to get there in "real time". I was, and am so impressed with this CD from the moment I heard it on WQXR one beautiful spring morning, I knew "I had to own it" and I have not regretted listening to it over and over again. If you want to enter the heart of the mysterious, exotic world of Middle and Far East; if you ...

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?

Simply wonderful!
I recently got this CD as a birthday gift. I've been wanting this CD for a while. The first track is a wonderful song in all reality the entire CD is a wonderful experience. The prelude by Gershwin is unique sounding with the cello. The jazz quality is still there and has a bit of classical influence intertwined among it. Yo-Yo Ma's recording of Simple Gifts is a good song and when they had the ...

Glorious music by YoYo.
I am fond of everything that YoYo does. He is the classical artistan who can go outside his natural circle and become the people's artist. He is so expessive and gives his all to the score of Dvorak.
