I live in SF and bought a copy of this a couple of weeks ago. This is a great CD from start to finish. The opening track and the St. Germain track are truly treasures. The grooves at the end are excellent as well. I agree with the article above: this is a great CD for parties and driving. I put it o..

While traveling thru Hawaii a couple years ago (on the Big Island) my wife and I kept hearing this beautiful, haunting music. Whether in a hotel lobby, airport, gift shop or whatever this music followed us like a ghost. I finally asked one of the locals who was that on the songs. She told me "thats ..

Lullaby: A Collection |
For centuries the world over, mothers (and fathers) have been cradling, cooing, and crooning to babies and small children with song. Theres scarcely a one of us that cannot recall a particularly gentle song a special someone sang for a wee self--to calm, soothe, and aid slumber. This tender music is to the soul what mothers milk is to the body, and we call it the lullaby. Rooted in age-old tradition, Lullaby: A Collection presents an even dozen lullabies from around the globe. Particularly beguiling are the African "Be Still My Child" by Ladysmith Black Mambazo, the traditional Spanish "A La Nanita Nana" as sung by Tish Hinojosa, and Bobby McFerrins "Common Thread," which you may recognize as the theme from the American documentary Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt. Othe.. |

I bought this without knowing anything about it while looking for lullabies for my newborn daughter. It is a great collection of international lullabies that instantly became our favorite. The songs are beautiful and very soothing. The variety of languages and styles really works and all of the arti..

This brand-new 35th Anniversary Edition of the classic 1965 film soundtrack features two discs in beautiful packaging. (Okay, the purple coloring on the discs is a bit much)... the CD booklet is filled with pictures and is wonderful. Disc 2 features extended versions of several songs and many tracks..

Obrigado Brazil |
This enchanting, flavorful CD finds the ever curious Yo-Yo Ma traveling to South America, and Brazil in particular. The music varies from classical to samba to bossa nova; the combinations range from guitar, flute, and cello to female voice (the remarkable Rosa Passos), cello, guitar, percussion, piano, and bass; to simple cello and piano; to cello and two guitars. The overriding element is rhythm; each selection has a beat which is both infectious and sensual, but the contexts are splendidly varied. "Dansa brasileira" has a Debussy-like, impressionistic flavor, "Dansa negra" is sultry with an easy melody, "1 x 0" is a dance scored for guitar, percussion, and cello with a solo clarinet riff. Its impossible to get bored or tired listening to this creative CD; its unique--just like Yo-Yo Ma .. |

Let me say first that I really wanted to like this cd. When I saw the title "Obrigado Brazil" I believed that I would adore this album since Im a huge fan of Brazilian music, but after my first listen I was highly disappointed. Usually, Brazilian music is inviting - the performances are emotional..
