Product Description:
Yo-Yo Ma: The Essential Yo-Yo Ma

Amazon.com:
Here are three dozen pieces of music, all played by Yo-Yo Ma, culled from his extensive discography. Aside from the technical mastery and beautiful tone that are absolutes in all of his playing, one is dazzled by his curiosity and ability to adapt to so many forms and types of music. His Bach and Vivaldi are pellucid and played with non-sentimental crispness, his tango music gritty and rhythmically pungent, his jazz seemingly spontaneous, the 'Meditation' from Thais simply ravishing, 'Anything Goes' a romp, and the Appalachian music performed with both respect and a great twang, while the traditional Chinese music is fascinating. It's really a matter of how much Ma loves whatever he plays here, how entirely he becomes involved in it, and what a fine partner he invariably is to other musicians. This collection is a doozy--it is truly 'essential.' --Robert Levine

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Love him
I just love him... I love his music..
Just a fact that CD case was all broken, it's all good as long as I can hear his music.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Yo-Yo CD
My nephew mentioned his desire to hear some classical music (Yo-Yo Ma, especially) on the boring trips back & forth from college. He really seemed to enjoy receiving the CD for Christmas!


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Non-essential
The ratings on this 2 CD set are inflated. The first CD is enjoyable, but no more than an assembly of tracks from other Yo-Yo Ma albums. The second disc is uninteresting. I think there are much more enjoyable Yo-Yo Ma albums to invest in than this one.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Fantastic!!
This is one of the best CD's for Cello that I have heard.
Yo-Yo Ma is such an artist.

Love It!


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - good study music
Great for studying, however if listening in your car the sound can be a bit repetitive.
