| | Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone CD (2006) SACD Hybrid
Schubert: Symphonies Nos. 5, 8 & 9
$15.19 
This is a hybrid Super Audio CD playable on both regular and Super Audio CD players.
Listening to the music of Ennio Morricone is a joy for any music lover. Listening to his music as played by Yo-Yo Ma borders on the sublime. Morricone is an iconic film composer, a master melodist whose unique scores are characterized by his bold use of unusual musical techniques, sounds, and textures. The term "spaghetti western" would have less significance without his distinctive contributions. Yo-Yo Ma is a musician in a class by himself. He's an extraordinarily gifted cellist of enormous intellect and a fearless explorer of a broad musical landscape, who seems determined to prove that hardly any genre exists within which he can't excel.
It's evident from the very first notes of YO-YO MA PLAYS ENNIO MORRICONE that this was a labor of love for both artists. Ma is at his most expressive ...

It's been awhile since Zeena Parkins released a recording on Tzadik. Her last for the label, Pan-Acousticon was issued in 1999, and it was here she set out to explore relationships between orchestral instruments (sampled), strings, drums, and homemade instruments. She appeared in collaboration with Lesli Dalaba on her fantastic Tzadik issue Timelines in 2004 and collaborated with Ikue Mori on Phantom Orchard for the Mego label the same year. Necklace contains four new works, beginning with the dazzling "Persuasion," for string quartet and electronic processing. Performed by the Eclipse Quartet (Parkins' sisters Sara and Maggie are members), "Persuasion" is a dazzling series of moments where texture, dynamic, and timbre are brought into play gradually, interlocking with others. As one set of themes is ushered in, another leaves, only to return in combination with others in sometimes staggered and layered forms. This is done by the electronic processing of Parkins and Doug Henderson. The quartet can sound like dozens of strings harmonically playing as one. "16 Feet + Cello" was written for eight dancers (from Comanie Sui-Generis) and Maggie's cello. Scratched, plucked, detuned strings are mic'ed on the same level as the dancer's feet. Percussive patterns emerge under the sonic assault provided by the lone instrument. Parkins' "Solo for Neil" is a short work she performs on her harp. Haunting, spare, full of surprises, it is an exercise in droning tones and glissandi that resonates form one passage into the next. The effect is somewhat eerie but utterly beautiful. The final work here, "Visible/Invisible," was scored solely for string quartet and is performed by Eclipse. In three parts it explores drone and percussive attacks as they emerge from the sound of wood to scrapes and saws, all in overtone in the first section, to the large spaces and tensions in the second to the sprightly, minor key explorations of the third,which ...
| | Lionel Cohen Piano Mecanique CD (2006)
Schubert: Symphonies Nos. 5, 8 & 9
$10.15
The term “classical†is loosely used when describing the music in Piano Mecanique. Emotional and sentimental piano instrumental compositions fill this album, from beauty and hope to melancholy and sadness, but without ever truly complying with any traditional classical music form.Erik Satie meets Mychael Danna in Piano Mecanique. Elegant and wistful piano melodies, often accompanied by strings, are perfect candidates for self-reflection.lionel Cohen, who will be the first to admit he is not an accomplished pianist, doesn’t set out to demonstrate his virtuosity on the piano, but rather sets ...
| | Ella Fitzgerald's Christmas CD (1967)
Schubert: Symphonies Nos. 5, 8 & 9
$12.79
Seemingly every singer at one time or another makes a Christmas album, and a large portion of them seem uninspired. ELLA FITZGERALD'S CHRISTMAS, happily, is not one such lackluster effort. The song selection consists entirely of traditional carols--"O Holy Night," "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," etc.--instead of tedious novelties or boring original tunes. While the carols are performed with reverence, the arrangements are gently swinging, giving the proceedings an intimate, cozy feel suitable to a jazz-oriented Christmas album. Fitzgerald's voice is bell-like in its clarity, somewhat different from the soft-focus ...
