Free Music Notes for Simply Baroque
Free Music Review: Wonderful, intimate Baroque cello
Hit: 5 Stars
Yo-Yo Ma has given us a real treasure here. In this album, he and Koopman blend marvelously to give us some real intimate playing. While some may complain about the more relaxed environment of authentic instruments, I do not find this to be a problem. There is a special atmosphere that is gained here, that is equally satisfying as a full orchestra would be. The first half of this CD is transcriptions of various Bach pieces. Some of these, such as "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" and the Air on a G-string are quite well known. The following Boccherini concerti are likewise quite satisfying. As others have pointed out, special attention should be given to the fabulous cadenzas.
This certainly should be added to your collection if you do not already own it. If you are pleased with it, I would strongly recommend the follow-up album Yo-Yo Ma - Simply Baroque II ~ Bach & Boccherini / ABO, Koopman, which I find even more satisfying.
Free Music Review: Beautiful Baroque
Hit: 5 Stars
This is simply a beautiful cd. I find myself carried away by the arrangements-just wonderful! I must admit this is my first cd by Yo-Yo Ma. It will not be the last. If this is the kind of quality one can expect from this artist, I am a fan!
I have listened to this cd 3/4 times and it still amazes me. I become a part of the music. If you enjoy classical music with arrangements that are intelligent, played with sensitivity, and a joy to experience, buy this cd.

I never get tired of listening to this CD. It is beautiful, healing, and relaxing. My husband usually does not listen to any classical music but this one. Both he and I love this! Just let you know that the newer version of this title is "un-rippable" so if you want to listen to them on your MP3 player, I recommend that you purchase MP3 version instead.Free Music Review: Simply the Best

I can only say, that as far as I am concerned, this is just some of the best music I have ever heard.... Im guessing this is the way Bach intended his music to sound in the first place, and who better for that than the AMO and Koopman...and of course YO YO... if u love classic music, you are absolutly going to LOVE this cd..I highly recommend itFree Music Review: Very Enjoyable Listening

Simply Baroque by Yo-Yo Ma is an excellent addition to anyone's collection of Baroque Music. The rich Cello tones strike a proper balance between showcasing Yo-Yo Ma and letting the rest of the musicians play the music. This CD is a beautiful collection of Baroque music. If you like Baroque, get this CD.
