 Must Have Yo-Yo Ma February 8, 2010
Nancy Bjerkeset (Norway)
I sent it as a Christmas gift to my mother and she loved it! I had seen the special on TV about the making of the CD and enjoyed the emotions that each song brought out in me - truly lovely... though it's a X-mas CD it can be enjoyed throughout the year.
A fantastic musician! February 3, 2010
M. B. Ore (Oslo, NO)
Yo-Yo Ma is a fantastic musician to my mind. He is at ease no mater what kind of music he's playing. Songs of Joy & Peace, where he plays different carols and Christmas music++ with good musician friends, shows how he masters a wide range of music. I'm taking my hat off!
 Not a Christmas Album February 1, 2010

Only a few songs that I would call Christmas songs - overall a very odd album - not recommended if you are expecting a traditional Christmas album....many songs are not pleasant to listen to.
Surprised by Delight January 3, 2010
L. L. Lynn (Florida USA)
Following Yo-Yo's cello has led us to some really wonderful music over the years.
He has so much fun with his musician friends & shares it with us!
This particular body of work is surprisingly varied & delightful any season of the year.
Nothing grates or irritates, and it all flows so nicely that I have to listen again when it ends.
This CD introduced me to Renee Fleming who sings a Blossom Dearie tune so lusciously that it will make you weep.
Songs of Joy & Peace fits well into my preferences since many of these musicians have been in my ears for years.
Solid, beautiful music here which I generously recommend to your listening ears.
