The Essential Yo-Yo Ma
Edgar Meyer, Hector Console, ...

Sony, 2005

pure genius
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
  
  











  



  
Classic Yo-Yo
Johannes Brahms, Antonin Dvorak, ...

Sony, 2001

Awesome
While most people on this site see the "classic" in the title of the album as referring to classical music only, they are mistaken. Classic Yo-Yo refers to his style, not the genre into which his music choices fall. The list of tracks alone should have been a big ...
  
  











  



  
Heartland: An Appalachian Anthology
Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, ...

Sony, 2001

Exquisitely good music!
Didn't expect an outstanding cd, don't know exactly why i got it,maybe because of yo yo and bela, but every piece is played beautifully, even the vocal piece by James Taylor. The album is almost too good to be called Heartland, every piece is a class act. Bravo!
  
  











  



  
Can the Circle Be Unbroken?: Country Music's First Family
The Original Carter Family

Sony, 2000

Carter Family
After watching the PBS special about the Carter family, and loving their music from my childhood, I wanted to hear again the many wonderful songs and sounds. I have always loved hearing the autoharp. The cd is great.
  
  











  



  
Appalachia Waltz / Ma, Meyer, O'Connor
Edgar Meyer, Yo-Yo Ma, ...

Sony, 1996

Welcome to "alternative" classical music!
It's wonderful to hear three such talented musicians put together a collection of non-classical music on revered instruments. This is not "The Yo-yo Ma Show" with two other guys! The music is varied but the performances are great and -- in some cases, e.g. Appalachia ...
  
  











  



  
The Rose
The Mediæval Bæbes

Nettwerk Records, 2002

Sounds of Angels and Wild Women
I really REALLY love this CD. I've been listening to the Amazon.com music clips for weeks and finally bought it. It is a gem. The music is absolutely breathtakingly beautiful. This is music (with the possible exception of DRINGO BELL) that you could let your ...
  
  











  



  
The Carter Family: 1927-1934
The Carter Family

Jsp Records, 2002

Indispensable
The Carter Family is the archetype of American Music. This JSP collection faithfully documents the original 78 rpm recordings in chronological order. Though the digital remastering is basic, having the complete sessions is indispensable.
  
  











  



  
Appalachian Journey
Edgar Meyer, Mark O'Connor, ...

Sony, 2000

Great CD
This CD is certainly a collection of very talented musicians. The songs reflect great musical skill. Guests on the CD help to bring out the best of the featured musicians. I would recommend this CD highly.
  
  











  



  
Appalachian Stomp: Bluegrass Classics
Various Artists

Rhino / Wea, 1995

Best introduction to Traditional Bluegrass that I have seen
Best introduction to Traditional Bluegrass that I have seen. It has probably the best known songs in bluegrass. If you listen to bluegrass at all, you will probably know some of them. But this is only a stepping stone. From here you can move on to albums by the ...
  
  











  



  
Watkins Ale: Music of the English Renaissance
Ann Marie Morgan, Richard Alison, ...

Dorian Recordings, 1992

More than just an alcoholic drink
The Baltimore Consort are performers in the truest sense -- the energy and sheer brilliance they exude during performances is infectious and heady. Luckily for those of us who rarely or never get to see them perform, all of this comes across in their recordings. This ...
  
  











  



  
Volume 2: 1935-1941
The Carter Family

Jsp Records, 2003

A Veritable Gold Mine, Dirt Cheap!
As a Christmas present to myself, I purchased the two JSP boxed sets, The Carter Family, 1927-1934 and The Carter Family, Volume 2, 1935-1941. I have been playing them non-stop for the past four days, and I am absolutely thrilled with both of them. The RCA Victor ...
  
  











  



  
Double Violin Concerto
Mark O'Connor, Spiritual Traditional, ...

Omac, 2005

Expansive Americana
Mark O'Connor has become quite the composer in recent years. Known very well among the Nashville session musician circle as one of the great fiddle players of all times (his fiddle work is featured on the landmark 1987 TRIO album by Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and ...
  
  











  



  
The Appalachians
Charlie Barnett

Dualtone Music Group, 2005

A great introduction to classic American mountain music
The exemplary companion album to a PBS television series, this features a wide range of Appalachian folk music, from stark, spooky "shape note" gospel singing to plunky old-time tunes and greased lightning bluegrass, with story songs and spirituals, murder ballads and ...
  
  











  



  
Bright Day Star: Music for the Yuletide Seasons
Anonymous, English Anonymous, ...

Dorian Recordings, 1994

why to get this disc (in rhyme)
'Twas the day after Thanksgiving, and all through the house, Christmas spirit was stirring and starting to rouse feelings of joy and expectation in the hearts of the people who were there. Beautiful music and Custer LaRue's singing filled the air. Wonderful songs, ...
  
  











  



  
The Art of the Bawdy Song
Henry Aldrich, Anonymous, ...

Dorian Recordings, 1993

Prelewd to Postlewd
The Baltimore Consort, an ensemble of six players, was founded in 1980 with the purpose of performing 'broken consort' pieces of Elizabethan origin. 'Broken' here refers to the instrumentation - treble viol/violin, flue/recorder, lute, cittern, bandore and bass viol. ...
