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 ...
Containing both instrumental and vocal versions of almost all the songs from the original soundtrack (only "Stick to the Status Quo" is completely left out), the High School Musical edition of Disney's Karaoke Series is great for the aspiring teen singer. Plus, the bonus "girl solo" track, the duet with Troy on "Start of Something New," is a good ...
Czech composer Hans Krása wrote Brundibár, a half hour children's opera, for performance at a Prague orphanage, but he was deported to Terezín before its premiere. A copy of the vocal score found its way to Terezín, and Krása reorchestrated it in 1943. The opera received over 50 performances by children in the camp before the composer was ...
This gorgeous release by the young English unaccompanied vocal group Stile Antico would be worth your time and money simply for the quiet, perfectly intoned singing on display here. But the album accomplishes more than vocal virtuosity. Stile Antico presents music by three generations of English choral composers, all of it from the Catholic sphere ...
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, ...
Disney Karaoke Vol. 2 features ten singalong versions of Disney classics, including "Under the Sea," "The Bare Necessities," "Colors of the Wind," and "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes." Fun for kids of all ages. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
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 ...
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 ...
Disney Karaoke Vol. 1 features ten singalong versions of Disney classics, including "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah," "He's a Tramp," "Just Around the Riverbend," "Part of Your World," and "When You Wish Upon a Star." Fun for kids of all ages. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
Si Ji (Four Seasons) is Chinese guitarist Xuefei Yang's debut on GSP, and her collection of contemporary guitar miniatures is as gently evocative as the title suggests. While one may understand the need to program mild mood pieces to make an attractive introductory album, it seems Xuefei has overdone it by choosing too much fluff and little music ...
The second Disney Princess volume in Disney's Karaoke Series includes vocal and instrumental versions of eight songs from several Disney movies, such as Cinderella ("So This Is Love," "Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo," "Every Girl Can Be a Princess"), Aladdin ("A Whole New World"), Hercules ("I Won't Say I'm in Love"), and Sleeping Beauty ("I Wonder"). The ...
