  • Yo-Yo’s New CD

    Oh yeah, bay-bee. 

    Songs of Joy & Peace

    Do you every listen to the 30 second samples at Amazon?
    Follow the link and click on “Preview All.”
    Stick around and see the six minute video of Yo-Yo and Diana Krall.

    I am so getting this CD.

    Alison Krauss.
    Alison Krauss singing the Wexford Carol.
    James Taylor.
    Dave Brubeck.
    Renée Fleming.

    Four versions of Dona Nobis Pacem.

    22 tracks
    79 minutes of music
    $9.99!

    I don’t expect to love every track,
    but I will be sure to obsess listening to a few.

    By the way, ahem (blushing),
    Carol means Song of Joy.
    It has my name in the title.
    I have to get it!

    Video of Yo-Yo and Chris Botti play My Favorite Things.

    Yo-Yo introduces the CD in this video.

    Yo-Yo Ma.
    One of my heroes.

  • Listening as I type, what a varied compilation!

    How are the cello lessons coming?

  • OH yea! Yo Yo! When I watched him perform the cello part of the Don Quixote, I could see him become the Don. . .  amazing! (On Great Performances, not in person, sadly.) What a musician.

  • I’ll have to listen.  Unfortunately CDs aren’t in the budget right now, though…
    Sometimes I really miss being in Birmingham where I could listen to famous musicians for a $10 student ticket.  I never got to hear Yo-Yo Ma live, but I did get to listen to Gil Shaham.

  • Carol, thanks for telling us about these CD’s. You find the best. Books too.  

  • Oh, I have to get this one!!!! Thank you for bringing this cd to my attention — I hadn’t heard he had anything new coming out, so I am grateful to you! (love Allison Krause and JT, too ). Blessings, Laurie

  • oohh, this sounds great! i will put this on the list!

    thanks!
