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 ...
Banjo player supreme Béla Fleck and bassist Edgar Meyer make for a fascinating and daring duo, and they appear to be at their best live, as this esoteric disc shows. While there are plenty of original compositions from both pens, they also tackle several pieces by Bach, a wonderful Henry Eccles sonata, and some Miles Davis -- gadding about all ...
It's a rare thing when a performer is able to accurately write his own review, but Edgar Meyer has done it succinctly in the liner notes for this eponymously titled solo album. "This music is an indulgence of sorts," he writes, "combining elements of expertise with exploration and occasional moments of pure naïveté." That just about sums up this ...

Existing fans of violinist Joshua Bell are already well-acquainted with the broad scope of repertoire and performance abilities ranging deftly from the classical concerto repertoire to his well-known collaborations with Edgar Meyer. For those unfamiliar with Bell's recorded works, this two-disc set of The Essential Joshua Bell provides quite a ...
The follow-up album to the highly successful Appalachia Waltz collaboration, Appalachian Journey continues the combination of classical music with Appalachian, bluegrass, and American roots music in general.

This excellent 1993 Sugar Hill CD features three of the top artists playing newgrass today. Entirely instrumental, entirely enjoyable, the tracks on this CD run the gamut of musical expression from the humorous play of "Why Don't You Go Back to the Woods" to the slow, beautiful "Hymn to Ordinary Motion." The liner notes discuss the creative ...

What makes Yo-Yo Ma a great cellist? His controlled lyricism, his focused tone, and his restrained passion. What makes Ma a great musician? His extraordinary breadth of taste. While other artists dream of crossover hits, Ma has them -- and plenty of them. As demonstrated on this disc called Appassionato -- it might have been called "Greatest Hits" ...

Fluctuating between jazzy experiments and straightforward bluegrass, the music on The Telluride Sessions is adventurous and unpredictable, revelaing more ...
