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 ...

Appassionato (2007) more music like this

performed by Edgar Meyer (piano), Emanuel Ax (piano), Gaby Casadesus (piano), Isaac Stern (violin), Jeffrey Kahane (piano), Joel Fan (piano), John Williams (piano), Kathryn Stott (piano), Kojiro Umezaki (shakuhachi), Mark O'Connor (violin), Octavio Brunetti (piano)

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 ...

Carnaval (1987) more music like this

composed by Herbert L. Clarke, Herman Bellstedt, Irish Traditional, Jean-Baptiste Arban, Jules Levy, Niccolň Paganini, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Thomas Moore (composer/poet), Traditional Spiritual

Here, Wynton Marsalis switches to cornet and tries to recreate the ambience of the proverbial village wind bands of long ago -- albeit with the emphatically big-league help of Donald Hunsberger and the massive Eastman Wind Ensemble. This means a program of transcriptions of classical tunes, variations on popular ditties, dollops of sentimentality, ...

performed by Temple University Choirs (choir, chorus), Philadelphia Orchestra, Eugene Ormandy (conductor)
composed by Adolphe Adam, Christmas Traditional, Felix Mendelssohn, Franz Schubert, Franz Xaver Gruber, George Frederick Handel, Henry Walford Davies, Johann Abraham Peter Schulz, John Francis Wade, Ludwig van Beethoven

Why do people keep buying The Glorious Sound of Christmas, recorded in 1962, when there's such a profusion of other holiday albums out there? Because it quite simply remains one of the very best. There are no bonus tracks here to augment the original LP; what we get are 14 well-known carols, lasting about 45 minutes in total. But it's 45 minutes ...

What is this Bryn Terfel collection, exactly, that contains "Simple Gifts," the beginning of Pergolesi's "Stabat Mater," "Send in the Clowns," and even "The Rose" (not the one e'er blooming, but the Bette Midler or Conway Twitty vehicle)? It is, per the back cover text, Bryn's "personal collection of sacred, spiritual, and meditative songs." The ...

There are recordings that most people will love, and some that by general agreement miss the mark. And certain recordings are loved by some but hated by others. This 1995 Angel-label release, now reissued on Virgin Classics, falls into a special subset of this last group. Featuring a countertenor singing African-American spirituals, it's ...
