Unlike the recent Classic Yo-Yo, really a single-disc sampler of the recorded work of our true superstar cellist, The Essential Yo-Yo Ma purports to be something more -- the Yo-Yo Ma album to own if you're going to own just one. Where Classic Yo-Yo more or less alternated track by track between Ma's straight classical and crossover music, The ...

This disc repackages tracks of a romantic mood from a variety of Yo-Yo Ma discs released over the course of his strong-selling album career. A few of them (track 2, for example) come from recordings of straight-ahead classical repertory, and there are several new tracks, but most are taken from the cellist's fabulously successful series of ...

performed by Bryan Sutton (guitar), John Jarvis (piano), Mark O'Connor (violin), Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg (violin), Colorado Symphony Orchestra, Marin Alsop (conductor)
composed by Mark O'Connor, Traditional Spiritual

For his Double Violin Concerto (1997) Mark O'Connor temporarily set aside his popular "Appalachian" mode (adequately represented in the last three pieces here), and turned his attention to the blues and jazz -- or at least the aspects of these genres he had absorbed and accepted as fair game for "classicizing." Considering the Texas swing and ...

composed by Tan Dun

Martin Luther praised Josquin Desprez as a composer who told the notes what to do rather than being bossed around by the notes. In every generation, there are too few like that; Tan Dun is one of these. Water Passion After St. Matthew is an astonishing achievement on many levels. The work is set in English and scored for soprano (Elizabeth Keusch) ...
