Any new compilation CD starring Yo-Yo Ma is certain to please. This master of the cello takes the listener through so many types of music that the ear and mind never tire. The present selection is billed as a sort of “musical autobiography,” and, indeed, it gives us a tour of Ma’s musical life. The compilation’s mellow 65 minutes offer relaxing, beautiful music, all exquisitely played. Ma is joined by the best: Emanuel Ax, Kathryn Stott, John Williams, Isaac Stern, and Claudio Abbado. This is a veritable Who’s Who of superb musicians. –Robert Levine (Amazon.com)
