For the first time comes an album which mixes Chinese, Buddhist, Islamic and Indian motifs in our set. We journey musically from Mongolia to China, Persia and to Europe in one 78 minute CD. My favourite track is the Persian song "Avaz-e Dashti" Islamic in sound but played with Chinese and Indian instruments together with instruments from Persia.

Just imagine the long shot visuals from Crouching Tiger and the National Geographic Channel when listening to this album.

Bravo. Eagerly waiting future releases from this ensemble.

Not quite what I expected but I opened it so I cannot return it.

I dont recall hearing much Yo Yo Ma during what I could take of the CD. Yelling and screaming followed by passages of instruments with unlistenable melodies. Every CD has songs that arent as listenable as the others. But thats ALL this disc offers. I was angry at myself for havinng paid money for it. Had I the opportunity to listen before I bought, I would not have bought this. I sometimes enjoy listening to the SDTK from Crouching Tiger, Flying Daggers, Hero, or other films when practicing martial arts. I was expecting more of that. I got none of it. Even the last track on this CD is a partial lift from the Crouching Tiger disk! its not even the whole song!! Thats the only track I recognized Cello from.

I want my money back
