Purchase Mendelssohn: Elias To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Yo-Yo Ma Songs Of Joy And Peace CD (2008)
Mendelssohn: Elias
 $15.05   
Yo-Yo Ma's holiday album SONGS OF JOY AND PEACE admirably aims to be all-inclusive by featuring songs from the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions, as well as feel-good popular favorites like "Here Comes the Sun" and "My Favorite Things." Guests include Diana Krall, James Taylor, Joshua Redman, Chris Botti, and Dave Brubeck, among others. The set ranges across religious traditions and styles, but a feeling of open-hearted warmth, along with Yo-Yo Ma's rich, swelling cello, provides the glue that binds this diverse group of musicians and songs.
Personnel: Yo-Yo Ma (cello); James "J.T." Taylor (vocals, guitar); Chris Thile (vocals, mandolin); Diana Krall (vocals, piano); David Lasley, Caroline Taylor , Carolina Assad, Kate Markowitz, Alison Krauss, Andrea Zonn, Arnold McCuller, Clarice Assad, Badi Assad (vocals); Renée Fleming (soprano); Romero Lubambo, Odair Assad, Sergio Assad (acoustic guitar); Siamak Aghaei (santur); Jake Shimabukuro (ukulele); Jonathan Gandelsman (violin); Natalie MacMaster (fiddle); Kayhan Kalhor (kamancha); Nicholas Cords (viola); Matthew Brubeck (cello); Marcus Milius (harmonica, background vocals); Victor ...
| | Victory At Sea CD (1992)
Mendelssohn: Elias
$9.99 
The 1952 NBC series Victory at Sea was one of the earliest network documentary series to capture the public's imagination in a serious way, and one of the more enduring offshoots was the music by Richard Rodgers, which was recorded by RCA-Victor in what ultimately became a series of four LPs. Rodgers was chosen by series producer Henry Salamon based on his being the "leading American composer of his day," a somewhat exalted (though understandable) judgement for a man who was most closely associated with the Broadway stage and Hollywood. The albums were popular, probably due in part to the fact that the music was accessible and unchallenging, and that it insinuated itself for months into the household of seemingly every American family that had someone fighting in World War II -- and that a lot of veterans owned stereo systems in the late '50s, and these recordings took full advantage of stereo's two-channel sound separation. As to the music itself, one finds on listening to it 40+ years later that a little goes a long way. Rodgers devised a straightforward melodic score whose most inspired moments (such as the main title theme) seem to have been lifted from the early work of Ralph Vaughan Williams. An astonishing amount of what is on this CD (which runs 67 minutes) is banal, predictable musical accompaniment, broken up with a few surprises, such as "Dangers Down Deep," which opens with an understated reprise of the main title theme, and "Theme of the Fast Carriers," which starts out leisurely and ends up fairly exciting. The Dolby Surround remastering preserves the luster ...

Mendelssohn: Elias
$11.25
To categorize CLASSIC YO-YO as simply a greatest-hits collection would be inaccurate. This compilation offers a glimpse of the breadth of a great artist's ability. It effectively conveys the essence of Yo-Yo Ma, not simply the virtuosity of a supremely gifted cellist--arguably the finest of his time--but the intelligence, insight, and assiduousness of a musician who continually seeks new challenges, explores diverse musical territories, and refuses to be pigeonholed.
The album begins, appropriately, with his remarkable account of the Prelude from J. S. Bach's Cello Suite No. 1, continuing through to an eclectic assortment that includes Piazzolla tangos, a Gershwin Prelude, and an excerpt ...

Mendelssohn: Elias
$8.89
Linda Eder's third album demonstrated her growth as a singer; for the first time on one of her records, you could listen through whole songs without being reminded of Barbra Streisand. She remained largely dependent for her material on composer Frank Wildhorn, but at least on this occasion, for the most part, Wildhorn worked on a consistent set of songs with the same lyricist, Jack Murphy; they came up with a varied collection not dominated by generic romantic ballads, though there were a few, especially toward the end. (There were also Wildhorn songs from his musicals Jekyll and Hyde, The Scarlet Pimpernel, and The Civil War.) Murphy's words approached wit on occasion, even if Wildhorn's music continued to hew to pre-rock pastiche, so that Eder, swimming in string and horn charts, still seemed caught in a time warp circa 1955, even when she was dropping references to RuPaul and the Internet. And she continued to be arrogant in her choice of covers, this time trying out "Over the Rainbow." Nevertheless, the news here was her development of a distinct vocal identity: finally, you could just say that Linda Eder was a great singer, not that she was a great singer who sounded like... ~ William Ruhlmann
