Customer Rating: 
Summary: Great Artist, Poor Recording
Comment: Horrible, horrible recording. Yo Yo Ma, as usual, gives a great performance. The sound engineer, Richard King, should be run out of his profession. The recording is muddled, piano and other instruments are too loud, and even the sound of the cello is occasionally distorted. You can hear Ma breathing and other distracting sounds during the course of certain songs.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Nice selection
Comment: I like the wide selection of music types included on this CD, from classical works to songs from musicals.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Incomparable!
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not sure what to say
Comment: 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.

Summary: There Aren't Enough Stars...
Comment: 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.
