Editorial Reviews

Imagine a party, a musical party inspired by the holiday season. A party that celebrates the universal hopes, dreams and joy animating seasonal festivals the world over - Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid al-Adha, Kwanzaa, Yule and New Year's Day. That is what brought Yo-Yo Ma together with a remarkable group of friends - some old, some new - to create SONGS OF JOY & PEACE. It is Yo-Yo's hope that everyone who listens to this album will hear a song familiar, comfortable and beloved to them as well as discover and fall in love with music that is brand new.

This review is from: Yo Yo Ma and Friends : Songs of Joy & Peace Christmas (Audio CD)

I just received the Songs of Joy & Peace CD for Xmas. This is one of the best new CDs I've heard in a long, long time. It should be nominated for a Grammy Award! It is phenomenal! Although it's supposedly for the Christmas season, I'll be listening to it all year long.
