Description:

Imagine a party, a musical party inspired by the holiday season. A party that celebrates the universal hopes, dreams and joy animating seasonal festivals the world over - Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid al-Adha, Kwanzaa, Yule and New Year's Day. That is what brought Yo-Yo Ma together with a remarkable group of friends - some old, some new - to create SONGS OF JOY & PEACE. It is Yo-Yo's hope that everyone who listens to this album will hear a song familiar, comfortable and beloved to them as well as discover and fall in love with music that is brand new.

5Great for any time of the year!  Nov 16, 2009
I guess this CD is intended for Christmas, but only a couple of songs are Christmas-specific, and overall the songs are so lovely and relaxing, that I think it's great to listen to ANY time of the year.

1yo yo ma has sold out  Nov 08, 2009
it's sad to see someone as talented as yo yo ma pander to such crass musical tastes. this album is catchy, but it ends up in the dustbin along with other annoying christmas music. clearly it was done for commercial purposes; this cd has very little artistic value.

5Couldn't be better  Oct 26, 2009
This is simply a brilliant piece of work. The music is lively and bright and beautiful. Each artist who plays with Yo-yo Ma is in top form and each lends their own artistic genius. The music is uplifting and at the same time peaceful. Its worth the price just to hear Yo-yo Ma and Paquito D'Rivera play together but when you add this rendition of the Wexford Carol to the rest, you have perfection.

5A Christmas album for people who are sick of Christmas  Sep 13, 2009
Sometimes, when a classical artist decides to branch out into other forms of music, the result is laughable -- perfect chops but no soul. Yo-Yo Ma has managed to beat that result several times, and this disc is one of them. He is the sort of musician who notes artistic worth even if the player didn't graduate from Julliard, and chose a great mix from his acquaintances outside the concert-hall world. Who else would even know Jake Shimabukuro, a uke player who takes his tiny instrument waaay beyond beach-party noodling? If you're sick of the pathetic carnival of modern Christmas, play the Wexford Carol some December evening when you're alone. Light a candle and let Alison Krauss remind you what Christmas meant before it was ravaged. And sometime in the middle of July, play the Natalie MacMaster cut on the car stereo, top volume, windows down. You don't need sub-bass for music to transport you away from your cares. This is a fabulous album that you will enjoy all year, and treasure in December.

5Songs of Joy and Peace Yo Yo Ma CD  Aug 03, 2009
CD is WONDERFUL. A lot of it is Christmas music but I love to listen to it any time. I was amazed at all the artists he performed with. I have had the honor of seeing him perform. What an incredible artist and what an incredible man.
