Free Music Notes for Silk Road Journeys: Beyond the Horizon
Free Music Review: What Can I say???
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD is anyone who longs to travel to far away, exotic places but cannot afford to get there in "real time". I was, and am so impressed with this CD from the moment I heard it on WQXR one beautiful spring morning, I knew "I had to own it" and I have not regretted listening to it over and over again. If you want to enter the heart of the mysterious, exotic world of Middle and Far East; if you want to envelope yourself in music so sacred, so beautiful that your soul will ache for more, than this is the CD for you...Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble are magical, they are Djinn....
Silk Road Journeys: Beyond the Horizon Poster
It is a perilous proposition when genres clash--and no such collaboration is more potentially fraught than when improvisation-trained folk musicians sit in with Western classical instrumentalists, who are taught to interpret a printed score. The renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma has devoted much of his professional life to such intercultural experiments. But the traditions of nations situated along the ancient Silk Road, which began in the Far East, meandered through Asia and terminated in Europe, are especially dear to him. These lushly arranged pieces range from moody scenic vistas to percussive Turkish hip-shakers and they make very pleasant listening. If they owe more to the European canon than the ethnic sources that inspired them, they are also the result of respectful give-and-take between a team of acknowledged masters. And nobody is more of a team player than Maestro Ma, an impassioned, fearless musical seeker and a gracious, deferential colleague. --Christina Roden
