| I loved the CD. The music sounds poetic and utterly inspirational! I was looking for cello music that was deep and moving and that is exactly what I got with this CD. |

| I am not connnoisseur of classical music, and bought this cd only because I like violin and cello music, and wanted to experience Yo-Yo Ma. My reaction is therefore more related to my liking for or indifference to certain pieces, than to Yo-Yo Ma's artistry, which I do not criticize. All of the tracks were enjoyable, but the two that I play over and over again are Saint-Saen's The Swan, and Morricone's The Mission: Gabriel's Oboe. These are both sensitively and beautifully performed. And hearing the latter has just motivated me to buy the soundtrack of the Mission! |

 Great Artist, Poor Recording
Submitted on: 2008-11-05 |

| Horrible, horrible recording. Yo Yo Ma, as usual, gives a great performance. The sound engineer, Richard King, should be run out of his profession. The recording is muddled, piano and other instruments are too loud, and even the sound of the cello is occasionally distorted. You can hear Ma breathing and other distracting sounds during the course of certain songs. |
