CD Reviews

A Live Recording: Alive Indeed!

Dr. Debra Jan Bibel | Oakland, CA USA | 05/04/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Sometimes a "live" recording, when performed before an audience with one take, is magical. It captures all the energy and heightened sensitivity of both player and listener. Yo-Yo Ma has recorded Schelomo before, with the Baltimore Symphony, and Legend of Herlen has appeared on Silk Road Journeys, but compared to this recording, those tracks were flat and straightforward. Here, the beauty and majesty of every musical piece is fully manifested; the depth of the concert hall and clarity of sound provide presence. I have nearly all the recordings of Lou Harrison's Indonesia-inspired music and this Pipa Concerto with the brilliant Wu Man is an outstanding addition. To close the various Asia-inspired selections, Prokofiev's Scythian Suite, performed the following month with a different conductor (Alan Gilbert), is a good match for the theme, although its verve and splendor do not reach the same heights. Nonetheless, this album is exciting."

A beautiful fusion of East meets West.

"Yo-yo Ma has created a much needed intellectual approach towards a destruction of musical and cultural boundaries within the context of the musical idiom. I found this particular CD to be most impressive.
