| | Bartok: Piano Concertos, Violin Concertos CD Ashkenazy / Bartok / Chung / Lpo / Solti CDS
Sir George Solti was renowned as a Bartok specialist and made many award-winning recordings over the years as both a conductor and an instrumentalist. Here two of his formally best-selling full-priced recordings are combined for an outstanding value. Pianist Vladimir Ashkenazy is in top form breezing through these often harrowing virtuosic concerti like a force of nature. The youthful Kyung Wha Chung likewise delivers vital passionate performances of the composer's two stirring violin concertos. Decca's sound is also state of the art.

| | Home Alone CD (1990) Original Soundtrack
Bartok: Piano Concertos, Violin Concertos
$6.09 
The soundtrack to director Chris Columbus' 1990 monster hit Home Alone features the composing work of the legendary John Williams and continues the Christmas theme of the film with numerous yuletide carols. Williams' main title theme, known as "Somewhere in My Memory," is a typically sweeping affair that incorporates the childlike qualities of the film while suggesting Tchaikovsky's "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy." Elsewhere, a children's choir performs "O Holy Night," and the Drifters turn in a heartwarming version of "White Christmas." ~ Johnny Loftus

| | Il Divo Ancora CD (2005)
Bartok: Piano Concertos, Violin Concertos
$9.59  
Knowing how to strike while the iron is hot, the international all-male pop-opera revue Il Divo, assembled by AMERICAN IDOL's Simon Cowell, followed up its 2005 debut (and subsequent Christmas album) with yet another outing in early 2006. Here the dashing vocal quartet--Urs Buhler (Switzerland), Sebastien Izambard (France), Carlos Marin (Spain), and David Miller (U.S.)--stays true to its multi-lingual repertoire, offering up a suitably dramatic Spanish version of Eric Carmen's "All By Myself" ("Solo Otra Vez") and an English/French rendition of "I Believe in You" (with Celine Dion), among other numbers. While the arrangements on ANCORA are lush and majestic, they never overshadow the full, passionate voices of the foursome, who have clearly become used to working together as a powerful group.

| | Yo-Yo Ma Songs Of Joy And Peace CD (2008)
Bartok: Piano Concertos, Violin Concertos
$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.
