The Essential Yo-Yo Ma

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 ...

André Rieu: Masterpieces

performed by André Rieu (violin)
composed by André Rieu, Antonio Vivaldi, Dmitry Shostakovich, Emile Waldteufel, Giacomo Puccini, Irish Traditional, Johann Strauss II, Jules Massenet, Rieu André / Jo Huijts

Holland's self-proclaimed new Waltz King, André Rieu, has experienced tremendous success in both Europe and, unusually for a European crossover artist, the U.S., where his festive performances have become staples of the PBS television network's annual fundraising programming. The result has been a flood of Rieu discs that may confuse the new buyer ...

Sibelius, Valen: Violin Concertos

composed by Arthur Benjamin, Dmitry Kabalevsky, Dmitry Shostakovich, Ernest Bloch, Fartein Valen, Flausino Vale, Igor Stravinsky, Jean Sibelius, Julián Aguirre, Pablo de Sarasate, Sergey Prokofiev

For most listeners, the great thing here will be the 1952 recording of Sibelius' Violin Concerto with soloist Camilla Wicks accompanied by Sixten Ehrling leading the Stockholm Radio Symphony. An American born in Long Beach, CA, of Norwegian stock, the young Wicks was so deeply, passionately, and completely under the skin of the concerto that a ...

The Essential Hilary Hahn (2007) more music like this

performed by Hilary Hahn (violin)
composed by Dmitry Shostakovich, Edgar Meyer, Felix Mendelssohn, Igor Stravinsky, Johann Sebastian Bach, Johannes Brahms, Leonard Bernstein, Ludwig van Beethoven, Samuel Barber

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 ...

Black Angels (1990) more music like this

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 ...

Shostakovich: The Symphonies more music like this

performed by Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (baritone), Elisabeth Söderström (soprano), Julia Varady (soprano), Marius Rintzler (bass), Ortrun Wenkel (contralto), Ryszard Karcykowski (tenor), Gentlemen from the Choir of the Concertgebouw Orchestra (choir, chorus)
composed by Dmitry Shostakovich

When Decca first issued Bernard Haitink's Shostakovich symphony cycle between 1977 and 1984, it was the first non-Soviet cycle of the works. When the cycle was re-released as a set in 2006, it was still only the third non-Soviet cycle -- Eliahu Inbal had completed a perfunctory cycle for Denon and Ladislav Slovak a lackluster cycle for Naxos in ...

Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto; Shostakovich: Violin Concerto No. 1 (2002) more music like this

performed by Hilary Hahn (violin), Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra
composed by Dmitry Shostakovich, Felix Mendelssohn

Hilary Hahn delights in putting together works that normally don't go together. Her previous pairings of works by Beethoven and Bernstein, Barber and Meyer, and Brahms and Stravinsky went against what most listeners and critics think of as apt disc mates. And in every one so far, Hahn has succeeded: each performance is superb in its own right and ...

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 7 (2003) more music like this

performed by Valery Gergiev (conductor)
composed by Dmitry Shostakovich

By its very nature, patriotism is vulgar: loud and proud, bombastic and sentimental, and wholeheartedly simple-minded. Or is that less a description of patriotism than a précis of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7? Written during the siege of Leningrad at the start of the Great Patriotic War, the Seventh is incredibly vulgar -- critics at its American ...

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 ...

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. These two works are not combined on CD quite as often as one might think, and mostly appear together in collections devoted to ...
