The Essential Yo-Yo Ma (2005) more music like this

performed by Alison Krauss (vocals), Antonio Agri (violin), Bobby McFerrin (vocals), César Camargo Mariano (piano), Claude Bolling (piano), Cyro Baptista (percussion), Daniel Humair (drums), Edgar Meyer (bass), Emanuel Ax (piano), Gaby Casadesus (piano)

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 ...

On EMI Classics' Shostakovich, Prokofiev: Violin Concertos, eminent and beauteous violinist Sarah Chang is joined by Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic in the two big twentieth century Russian violin concerti.

To celebrate the 100th birthday of the great Soviet composer Dmitry Shostakovich, Mariss Jansons assembled eight of the world's finest orchestras to determine which is the best of his 15 symphonies. There is no doubt that Jansons is the man for the job. Trained under Mravinsky and long steeped in Shostakovich's music, Jansons brings a lifetimes' ...

Khachaturian: Concerto; Prokofiev: Concerto No. 3 (1998) more music like this

performed by William Kapell (piano)
composed by Aram Khachaturian, Dmitry Shostakovich, Sergey Prokofiev

You always knew there were a lot of notes in Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No. 3, ever since you heard the Prokofiev recording. But it's a safe bet you never thought there were as many notes as Kapell plays in his performance of the work with Antal Dorati and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra -- as many notes or as many loud notes. It's not just the ...

performed by David Harrington (violin), Hank Dutt (viola), Joan Jeanrenaud (cello), John Sherba (violin), Kronos Quartet
composed by Charles Ives, Dmitry Shostakovich, George Crumb, Istvan Marta, Thomas Tallis

This disc is supposed to hurt. Just look at the program: it starts with Crumb's Black Angels for electric string quartet, a work that is the aural equivalent of Coppola's Apocalypse Now, and ends with Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8, a work that is either the aural equivalent of a monument to the victims of war and fascism written in the ruins ...

composed by Alexander Scriabin, Béla Bartók, Claude Debussy, Dmitry Shostakovich, Edvard Grieg, Enrique Granados, Erik Satie, Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Liszt, Franz Schubert, Frédéric Chopin, George Gershwin, Johannes Brahms, Ludwig van Beethoven, Maurice Ravel

As if the title -- The #1 Piano Album -- wasn't enough of a claim, the subtitle goes even further: "The best-loved piano works of all time." Of course it seems impossible to deliver on that statement even with two 75-minute-plus compact discs. But as the discs go rolling by -- as Uchida's elegantly turned interpretation of the opening Allegro of ...

composed by Alexander Borodin, Antonin Dvorák, Antonio Vivaldi, Bedrich Smetana, Claudio Monteverdi, Dmitry Shostakovich, Edvard Grieg, Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, Jean Sibelius, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johann Strauss II, Ludwig van Beethoven, Paul Terracini

EMI's Classical Destinations: An Armchair Guide to Classical Music is a double-disc compilation that guides listeners to great works in a simple travelogue format. But beyond its appealing musical examples, there is little to be learned of locales from this package, and perhaps even less to be gleaned about the significance of nationalism in the ...

Listening to this disc, The Essential Hilary Hahn, one can easily understand what everybody hears in the young American's playing, to wit, the ebullience of her Preludio from Bach's Third Partita, the passion of her Andante from Barber's Violin Concerto, the intensity of her Chaconne from Bach's Second D minor Partita, the expressivity of her ...
