3.0 out of 5 stars A little thin, January 6, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: New Impossibilities (Audio CD)
As you might note from my other reviews, I find the work and range of Yo Yo Ma to be quite stimulating and wonderful to hear. I often take chances and buy his work without previewing it based on past happy purchases. I fell in love with the first album in the Silk Road series since it was full of bright new and interesting melodies and performances. It is surely a work of great interest. However, I found this album to be less bright and without the stimulating variety of the first work. The second was just alright and I find this one to be just dull. Maybe, it was my mood but that is my first reaction. I have seen the first two concerts that supported the first two albums and loved the music live and on disk. It is not that the idea has grown cold or old but the music does not have the vibrance of the first two works. I would go to listen to them first.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spend some magical moments, November 21, 2007
This review is from: New Impossibilities (Audio CD)
This compilation of new (to me) sounds was enchanting and well worth leisure listening. I wasn't quite expecting the unusual instruments to provide the level of musicality and transition they did. This album is a joy and credit to the innovation and vision of the composers, arrangers and musicians who created this beautiful presentation of New Impossibilities.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful project, September 19, 2007
By 
This review is from: New Impossibilities (Audio CD)
Yo-yo Ma and his friends made a wonderful collaboration in this further compilation of music along the 'Silk Road'.
The repertoire chosen ranges from contemproary to classic. The variety is great, and the novelty and creativity to be marvelled.
While the compilation and re-arrangement of the 'Ambush from Ten Sides' for the pipa instrument is admirably re-freshing, if ever there is any further added dimension to Yo Yo's project, I would like to refer him to the 12 Uighur Suites (Muqams) and contemproary Uighur guitarist-cum-composer-singer Arken Abddulah, a promoter of the Dolan Muqam as well as modern Uighur music, who is also an ardent Flamenco music follower. The "Ambush" piece was too much of a 'mainland' tune to be reckoned with the Silk Road, though the pipa is an instrument originating from the Central Asian region, but so is the guitar!
