Nice selection Sep 02, 2008 I like the wide selection of music types included on this CD, from classical works to songs from musicals.
Incomparable! Aug 11, 2008 This CD has almost been worn out by me. I've copied it to my IPod for mobile listening. How do you describe the genius of Yo Yo Ma? This CD also introduced me to the music of Ennio Morricone. Two treasures.

Not sure what to say Mar 09, 2008 Unfortunately, while I received confirmation from amazon that this had shipped, and was charged for the item, I never received it. I can't find a phone number, and my efforts to secure it via amazon's "where's my order" service and UPS tracking, were so time-consuming and tedious that I gave up in order not to spend hours at work on the tasks. I would like to resolve the issue, and receive another CD that shipped with this one, and it finally occurred to me that this review might help.

There Aren't Enough Stars... Oct 10, 2007 Of the thousands of albums/cds I have purchased in my lifetime -- were I to have to pick only one to keep -- this would be it.
The mark of the collection is an exquisite sensibility and technical excellence. In several of the pieces, you can feel as if your soul, rather than musical instruments, is being played -- but nothing mundane, boring, sophomoric, sentimental, or trite. The choice of material is intelligent and intuitive -- the taste of a great musician. The culmination piece by Ennio Morricone could arguably be considered the most beautiful 2 plus minutes of recorded music. It is nothing short of a cry to heaven.
Five stars -- hardly enough -- there aren't enough stars for me to rate this.

Refreshing beauty Sep 16, 2007 A beautiful CD, with freshness and clarity.
A well balanced selection of pieces and wonderfully produced, to show each instrument at its best.
Accessible for a wide range of listeners, this collection has "heart" without being overly sentimental.
