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)
composed by Antonin Dvorák, Antonio Carlos Jobim, Antonio Vivaldi, Astor Piazzolla, Camille Saint-Saëns, César Camargo Mariano, Chinese Traditional, Claude Bolling, Cole Porter, David Wilde, Dmitry Shostakovich, Edgar Meyer, Ennio Morricone, Fillippo Azzaiolo

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 ...

Virgil Thompson: The Plow that Broke the Plains; The River (2007) more music like this

performed by Post-Classical Ensemble, Angel Gil-Ordóñez (conductor)
composed by Virgil Thomson

The few recordings of Virgil Thomson's scores for The Plow that Broke the Plains have all been quite fine in different ways. Of them, Leopold Stokowski's 1960 effort with the Symphony of the Air -- a brilliant and vivacious recording on Vanguard Classics -- has been the one to beat. Here, Angel Gil-Ordóñez offers an effort that gives Stokowski a ...

Peter and the Wolf/Lieutenant Kije Sui (2006) more music like this

performed by Boris Karloff, Boris Karloff (vocals), Vienna State Orchestra, Vienna State Opera Orchestra, Mario Rossi (conductor)
composed by Sergey Prokofiev

There are many recordings of Prokofiev's Peter & the Wolf read by celebrities; so many that a major scholar of recorded sound history spent two years compiling a listing of all of them. Actually, that wasn't just limited to celebrity recordings, but non-instrument playing actors, politicians, local TV show hosts, and other notables make up a large ...

The Film Album (1999) more music like this

performed by Alexander Kerr (violin), Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Riccardo Chailly (conductor)
composed by Dmitry Shostakovich

One beneficiary of a trend to give film music more respect is Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich, one of the great symphonic composers of all time, who also wrote nearly fifty film scores. While many of these were for flat out cinematic propaganda hack-work, he wrote surprising good music even for films of that sort, and outstanding music for ...

It is rather surprising to see Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic's Sony Classical recording Herrmann: The Film Scores in a revitalized Great Performances package. This campaign was begun in the 1980s as a way to reactivate older CBS Masterworks titles at a lower price, the series being typified by a newspaper-style cover, heavily ...
