Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

With the help of some friends (James Taylor and Alison Krauss lend some vocal support), the trio of Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer, and Mark O'Connor have created yet another fascinating hybrid of chamber music and bluegrass. This follow-up to 1996's Appalachia Waltz is filled with highly lyrical string passages, a homage or two to Copland, and plenty of tracks where Meyer's bass vamps with the best of them. This is reflective (and relaxing) music, lacking the intricate structure of classical music and the rough edges of folk. But, boy, is it catchy! Yo-Yo Ma fans may be disappointed to hear that--aside from the gorgeous "Duet for Cello and Bass"--the cellist takes more of a supportive role on this disc. Still, this is fun music, more intimate than Short Trip Home (Meyer's other crossover project for Sony), but still lively (just check out "1B" or "Caprice for Three"). --Jason Verlinde

I bought this CD on a whim, and have decided it's impossible to be disappointed with YoYo Ma. It was lovely to hear both familiar and unfamiliar Appalachian tunes rendered with such care and artistry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mellow classical music with country influences
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2003
Verified Purchase
Musically speaking, my tastes are wide-ranging and very eclectic but my first love is country and my second is pop. I enjoy listening to classical music occasionally but have never really got into it. However, I am always on the look out for something different and when I found this in my recommendations I was intrigued, because although classical music and country music both evolved from folk music, they did so at different times and in completely different ways. On the face of it, blending them together might seem impossible. This album, while essentially classical, has definite country influences. Some might say Celtic rather than country, but I think their previous album, Appalachia Waltz (which I also own) has a much stronger Celtic feel to it than this one.

Mark O'Connor originally made his name as a Nashville session musician playing the fiddle but gave that up to pursue a career as a violinist. Of course, the fiddle and the violin are actually the same instrument but the style of playing is very different. Mark teamed up with Edgar Mayer (bass) and Yo-Yo Ma (cello) to record this album. The album is mainly instrumental, but there are two songs, one featuring James Taylor (Hard times come again no more, on which he also plays guitar) and the other featuring Alison Krauss (Slumber my darling). James also plays guitar on Benjamin. Alison plays violin on Fisher's hornpipe, but not on Slumber my darling. No other instruments are used anywhere on the album. Stephen Foster wrote the two songs. The other tunes were all either traditional or written by one of the performers.

I'm not sure who this music is primarily aimed at - it may be too country for classical fans and too classical for country fans - but if, like me, you are looking for something different, give this a listen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant & relaxed sound
Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2017

A little more traditional and relaxed than, say, Goat Rodeo. Most of the songs are very pleasant to listen to so I like it for background music while I work or something to calm me down when I'm stressed. I also use this CD in the car when I'm driving somewhere and just need a break to think. I'm not partial to the songs with vocals, but my husband likes those the best so I think it's just a personal preference.

5.0 out of 5 stars All the musicians are individual virtuosos and when they play together, they are amazing.

I am new to Edgar Meyer and most of the other artist-musicians on this CD and love their blend of bluegrass and classical music. There is a genuine dialog between the musicians as they play. I feel like "this is MY music," and that the world would be a much better place if people spoke and listened to one another as these musicians do with their playing. I have since ordered other CDs featuring Edgar Meyer and others (such as Yo-Yo Ma).

"Appalachian" Journey joined with the "Appalachian Series" is a musical treasure written by Steven Foster, Edgar Myer, Mark O'Connor, Yo Yo Ma, Alison Krauss, & James Taylor. Prepare yourself, for these musical treasures will attract, embrace, warm, & thrill the mind and spirit.
Appalachian Journey is perfected with broad ranging string tones, and bold, swift, creative musicianship performed by Edgar Myer, Yo Yo Ma, Mark O'Connor, and Allison Krauss. Accompanied with sweet country style vocals & beauty from Allison Krauss, and the perfect open vocal magnificence from James Taylor. It is so enjoyable, you will fill with emotion and dream to times and places, whether you have been there or not. Then you will want to do it again.

I love this CD. Mark O'Conner's violin in it impresses me the most because I am a violinist, but it's all pretty amazing. It's lively and fun, but it has some slow songs to balance everything out too. Alison Krauss's voice perfect for the song she sings in, and James Taylor does a great job with singing and whistling. I've listened to this CD I don't know how many times and I am not bored of it yet. Definitely a good buy.

I totally respect YoYo Ma but this CD was a little disappointing because all the tunes were more like jaz and improv than nice tight blue grass and Appalachian fiddle tunes. One reel was nice but they all had a slow dirge quality that disappointed me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gelungenes Crossover-Projekt.
Reviewed in Germany on July 8, 2018

American Masters playing American Folk. Yo-Yo Ma steht jenseits aller Kritik, ein Meister seines Instrumentes, der einfach alles spielen kann, Edgar Meyer liefert ein Meisterwerk ab, an das Kontrabassisten noch lange denken werden, und der Fiddler, wie er sich bescheiden nennt, braucht den Vergleich nicht zu scheuen.
Dies ist das zweite Projekt dieses Trios nach 'Appalachia Waltz', dessen Mitglieder man in vielen anderen Folk-Projekten auf höchstem Klassik-Niveau wieder findet. Wessen Interesse hier geweckt wurde, sollte sich die 'Goat Rodeo Sessions' mit Ma und Meyer, 'Perpetual Motion' von Béla Fleck oder einen Sampler wie 'The Best of Edgar Meyer' anhören, diese Musik hat für Musikfreunde, die nicht nach Genre, sondern im Sinne von 'the good one, and the other kind' entscheiden, echtes Suchtpotential.

A touch of classical, a touch of folk, a landslide of beautifully put together string parts and a dash of phenomenal vocals.
