 Beautiful! August 16, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the best I've heard from Yo-Yo Ma. You can tell these selections are his favorites by the passion with which he plays. My favorite is Cinema Paradisio. Absolutely wonderful!!!
Pure Listening Pleasure May 18, 2007
There is no pretension in this collection - just the pure, simple pleasure in Ma's performance and in our enjoyment.
Appassionato May 17, 2007
With a little help of some of his friends Yo Yo Ma offered us another of his masterpieces. No other title could define better the tracks selection, pleasant and inspired.
Deep, Serious and diverse April 25, 2007

Yo Yo Ma is simply fantastic, and has arrived as such a height of recognition that any production he is invovled in will be top of the line, as this is.
This is a darker collection than I expected. And like a serious, reserved friend, it can take a little longer to appreciate than the bubbly outgoing ones. I now find I like it very much, but it is serious "conversation."
There is great variety here as well, and I gave it to a friend's teenager who is considering whether she wants to learn the cello. Her response was much the same as mine. Initially not so sure, but over time, has really come to like it, too. This collection has great depth.
Yo-Yo Ma's Appassionato April 12, 2007
For those who share Yo-Yo Ma's passion for music, and especially his passion for diversity in music, and for connecting with the spirit of global humanity, this recording has a prominant place in your library.
