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 ...

The Chopin Collection [Box Set] (1991) more music like this

performed by Artur Rubinstein (piano)
composed by Frédéric Chopin

There are, believe it or not, those individuals who claim to love Chopin and to disdain Rubinstein. How that could be possible is almost unknowable. One can certainly understand complaints that Rubinstein's technique was not always up to Chopin's sometimes extravagant technical demands: after all, the Polish pianist only recorded the Polish ...

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 ...

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, ...

composed by He Zhan-hao / Chen Gang, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky

The big news here is the presence of The Butterfly Lovers, a work known to Western audiences in fragments from Olympic figure skating performances and the like, but not so often heard in full from a violinist of the caliber of Gil Shaham. It is sometimes paired with the notorious Yellow River Concerto in concert, but it is slighter, less extreme ...
