This is a DualDisc, which contains a CD on one side of the disc and a DVD on the other.
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 as he wraps his luminous tone around some of the most beautiful cinematic themes imaginable, including "Gabriel's Oboe" and "The Falls" from THE MISSION, as well as "Nostalgia" and "Looking For You" from CINEMA PARADISO. Morricone's marvelous arrangements, particularly the suites dedicated to some of the great directors he's worked with, provide a perfect vehicle for the star soloist while retaining the music's original character and flavor. Ma's muscular account of "Ecstasy of Gold" from Sergio Leone's epic THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY is notable among the album's many highlights.
This new release, in the dualdisc format offers a full-length CD album on one side and and a DVD featuring the full album, usually in surround sound, along with videos, behind-the-scenes footage and a wide array of bonus material, including lyrics, biographies, PC content and more. Dualdisc format plays on existing CD and DVD players. The DVD side features the entire album in 5.1 Surround Sound and enhanced LPCM stereo, an 11-minute behind-the-scenes video, four short films by USC students, inspired by and featuring tracks from the album and a discography.

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 is breathtaking and intense. These are disciplined, orderly, and striking pieces that offer a small view of what Parkins, one of the more ambitious artists on the downtown scene, has been up to. Recommended. ~ Thom Jurek
