There Aren't Enough Stars...

This is just beautiful music--very melodious and evocative. Yo-Yo Ma is a consummate musician. Wonderful compositions like Morricone's in his hands is a delight to the ears and emotions. I highly recommend this CD.

At the Movies

John Barry, Frank Churchill, ...

Denon Records, 2004

Movie Themes with a Classical Twist
What's not to like about a good song from a good movie? All the classic movie themes (i.e., Titanic, Zorba the Greek, etc.) are here but played by a full orchestra. I considered this approach to modern music a true and distinct pleasure and a nice break from the ...

No instrument asks more from the soul of an artist as the cello does. Yo Yo Ma shows to be master of the instrument and his interpretations en technique are pure genius. Everyone should have this album in his (or hers of course) basic classical collection

So Strong

The Celtic Tenors

So Strong
I was watching public television and saw "The Celtic Tenors". The next day I found their CD, "So Stong". Finding voices of such obvious quality producing harmony so perfectly is rare. The first song brought me to tears and I wanted to stand and cheer. In fact, I did. ...

Walking in the Air
A voice that will go far ... she is using her talents and learning while she is singing. She is a light hearted spirit seems to enjoy what she is doing. Musically, she can still develope since she isn't totally an adult yet.

katherine Jenkins - Live in the Park

Universal Import, 2008

Katherine Jenkins
I fell in love with Hayley Westenra and Celtic Woman. I was looking for another artist who sang that type of music. In this I was very disappointed. Hayley's voice is so clear, Katherine sounded very muddy in comparison.

Enough others have talked about the music presented on this disc. It's good - very good - and a testament to the musicians presenting it. Plenty more reviews available for the standard version. This review is of the DualDisc. Dualdiscs are a relatively new piece of ...
