Neo Traditional.......2007-01-10

I doubt the kids in Japan are listening to this, but it's great for a dinner party or a different spin on traditional Japanese music with a splash of modernism.

Relaxing, beautiful renditions of classic Japanese sound.......2003-01-21

Yo-Yo Ma's beautiful sweeping cello work with traditional Japanese intruments and percussion in the background.

This may be simpler work than most Ma fans are looking for, but I believe the simplicity is part of what makes this cd perfect background dinner or mood music.

I still can't get over how sad Sakura sounds to my western ears. It's a really beautiful cd to own.

Yo-Yo's Early Crossover.......2001-06-21

Recently, Yo-Yo Ma has received massive critical and popular acclaim for his numerous projects combining classical music and a variety of folk and indigenous music - from the hills of Appalachia to the Silk Road of Asia. But before the success of his collaborations with Tan Dun, Edgar Meyer, Mark O'Connor and others in the late 90s, Yo-Yo Ma made "Japanese Melodies" in 1984 with harpsichordist Patricia Zander and Pro Musica Nipponia, under the direction of conductor and arranger Michio Mamiya. This CD features ten selections of traditional Japanese compositions arranged for Ma's cello and orchestra. Overall, the music is quite enjoyable - as a personal aside I have made it my official dinner music when I get sushi carry-out. My reason for withholding a fifth star is this is certainly not the greatest music Ma has committed to disc, and the CD itself features no liner notes whatsoever. Considering how much Ma has had to say about his Silk Road Project lately, it would have been interesting to read his thoughts on the music of different cultures in 1984 at the time of this recording. Alas, "Japanese Melodies" is highly recommended as is.

Singular Songbird from Brazil, born with Bossa Nova.......2007-01-19

Not a great singer, not a great voice, not a great guitar player, just a celebrity in the early 60s in the City of Rio de Janeiro, the adequate environment for Bossa Nova.

After all, Ms. Leao is part of the story of Bossa Nova in Rio de Janeiro. A beautiful woman with a sensitive sound, and an extreme capacity for agregating artists into her apartment which became famous as a meeting point for Bossa Nova lovers, composers and players.

After all you'd say Ms. Nara Leao is not worth as a singer but look ... there is something delicately special with her voice and something very strong concerning to her taste in repertoire selection. She's well known in Brazil and also Japan fans adored her until her premature death in the 90s.

She was born with Bossa Nova but soon she moved to traditional samba and then returned to Bossa Nova, always for great songs.

'Pure Bossa Nova' is a compilation of her art though it is hard to select just a few tracks from her many albums, all recorded for Philips and Polygram (Universal label, today).

This album is a good opportunity for you to know her work. All sung in Portuguese.
