<description><![CDATA[The prolific and prodigiously talented cellist Yo-Yo Ma is as at home with Brahms and Bach as he is with Astor Piazzolla or Antonio Carlos Jobim. Like many virtuosos, Ma took up the cello early: his father started him at age four. Decades and several degrees later (he was a star pupil at Juilliard and later graduated from Harvard), Ma is the face of classical music around the world. Everyone knows the ubiquitous cello player with the improbable, happy-go-lucky name. He has taken the cello from its classical confines and forced it into places it's never been before. Cello in bluegrass? Middle Eastern music? Tango? Bossa nova? No style is too "out there" for Ma, and as a result he's become a musical ambassador, finding commonalities between disparate musical traditions and introducing an uncurious world to the world's many musical curiosities. This is perhaps what led him to found the Silk Road Ensemble in 1998, an East-meets-West cross-cultural music collective. Cultural heritage has increasingly become his interest, as evidenced by his recent solo and Ensemble recordings: <I>Appalachian Journey</I>, 2002's <I>Silk Road Journeys</I> and 2003's <I>Obrigado Brasil</I>.

<description><![CDATA[Andrew Bocelli (born 1958) sings light pop renditions of romantic Italian opera favorites to often-synthesized accompaniments for a beloved worldwide audience. With Pavarotti's stamp of approval, he took the world by storm in the mid-1990s by singing "Con te partiro" with Sarah Brightman. He became famous in the U.S. for his recording work with Celine Dion. Bocelli's populist character has led him since that time to sell 55 million records and to appear on late-night television, <i>American Idol</i>, the NBA All-Stars, <i>Sesame Street</i> and at the White House, among other places. His Spanish-, Italian- and English-language renditions of dramatic love songs have proven to be especially popular hits at weddings.

<description><![CDATA[Already an international star, the young Josh Groban brings operatic passion and classical themes to the masses. Doe-eyed, with curling ringlets, Groban is cute and cuddly compared to the swarthy Andrea Bocelli, yet he definitely possesses a true vocal gift to back up his clean-cut marketing appeal. Along with Bocelli, Charlotte Church (and the much artsier Audra McDonald and Mandy Patinkin), Groban is helping to reintroduce operatic, pre-pop singing to the public by adding modern arrangements and instrumentation. Whether Groban sings a cappella, or backed by a traditional orchestra, he always delivers.

<description><![CDATA[If there's anything that proves Metallica has become a pop culture institution on par with Led Zeppelin and hula hoops, it's the existence of Finland's Apocalyptica. Coming together in the mid '90s, the cello quartet specialized in the Metallica songbook, including head-banging chestnuts like "Enter Sandman," "Creeping Death" and "Harvester of Sorrow." In 1996, the band released its debut album <i>Plays Metallica by Four Cellos</i>. By its second record, however, Apocalyptica started reworking selections from Faith No More, Sepultura and Pantera. Then something strange happened. What started out as really nothing more than a novelty act (a Trans-Siberian Orchestra for real metal heads) evolved into a bona fide experiment in neo-classical heavy metal (a move which makes sense considering both genres worship symphonic grandeur). In addition to featuring all original compositions, 2003's <i>Reflections</i> saw the group collaborate with Slayer drummer Dave Lambardo. Since then the band has also hosted such guests as HIM's Ville Valo, the Rasmus' Lauri Ylonen and vocalist Till Lindemann of Rammstein. Apocalyptica even employ smoke and fancy light shows when they perform live.

<description><![CDATA[Andrew Lloyd Webber penned smash musicals such as <i>The Phantom of the Opera</i> in order to spotlight the talents of his (now ex) wife Sarah Brightman, who went on to record a series of very successful vocal albums. Brightman dresses like a Goth rocker and she puts a dark spin on lush material that usually falls somewhere between Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion.

<description><![CDATA[Although he's one of the most influential figures in twentieth century music, Philip Glass has nevertheless earned the ire of some of his fellow Avant-Gardists for both his enormous success and his coinage of minimalist theory. A Julliard-trained classical musician whose ideas were greatly transformed when he was hired to transcribe Ravi Shankar's work, Glass embraced rhythm and repetition over the standard classical rules -- rules which had previously applied even to Avant-Garde classical. He was met with massive success during the '70s and '80s, working in concert halls, theatre, opera, film and even on pop recordings. Though often accused of overt repetition, it must be noted that Glass' music has become increasingly rich over the years, while still managing to maintain a certain accessibility on a basic, emotional level. His advances have trickled down into both the popular music we hear (David Bowie, Aphex Twin) and the alternate musical avenues that post-Glass artists are free to explore.

<description><![CDATA[Il Divo is a preternaturally handsome five-man multinational team of operatic male pop vocalists. The idea for this outfit was born when snappy "American Idol" celebrity Simon Cowell heard a recording of Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman singing "Con Te Partiro" in 2001. Realizing he liked operatic vocal style but not the repertoire, Cowell set about to create a classically trained vocal group that would sing the types of pop songs and love ballads commonly played at weddings. To further class up these pop songs, they would be translated into Italian, Portuguese or Spanish. In December 2003, American tenor David Miller became the completing member of the ensemble, which includes Spanish baritone Carlos Marin, French pop singer Sebastien Izambard and Swiss tenor Urs Buhler. Their multiplatinum self-titled debut album was No. 1 in 13 countries. Their <I>Christmas Collection</I> was an America-only release and their second worldwide charting album, <I>Ancora, </I>was released in November 2005, featuring a duet with Celine Dion.

<description><![CDATA[One of today's preeminent names in violin performance, Joshua Bell is often on the road concertizing; keep an eye on the newspapers and you might catch a performance near you. Since his concert debut in Philadelphia in his early teens, his career has been one ascending graph line. Composers such as John Corigliano have written works for him, and Bell collaborates with major players of the classical world, including Aaron Jay Kernis, John Williams and Nicholas Maw. All this is to say that Bell plays the violin very, very well.

<description><![CDATA[Few classically trained singers have had the continued crossover success that Placido Domingo enjoys. He's reached the top of the charts with both his solo selections and his immensely popular collaborations with Pavarotti and Carreras. His strength as a performer is the classic love scene, as audiences melt to hear his powerful versions of great themes by Verdi, Wagner, and others. Outside of Opera, Domingo has enjoyed success with traditional Spanish love songs, as well as with pop music ("Perhaps Love" with John Denver and "Till I Loved You" with Jennifer Rush were huge chart toppers). In regard to Christmas music, it's just another day, another dollar for Domingo: his nearly annual holiday releases satisfy discerning listeners who are tired of Manheim Steamroller, while filling his coffers all the more. But let's not knock his talent for making money. Domingo is a true talent -- perhaps one of the greatest of the modern age.

<description><![CDATA[The monumentally gifted Bobby McFerrin will forever be known for his 1988 hit "Don't Worry, Be Happy," which featured the multi-tracked singer accompanying himself. However, his vocal chords are as limber as a rubber band, and he doesn't need any studio wizardry to astound you. Instead of following up that on success, McFerrin started a large choir -- his Voicestra -- and concentrated on work that has generally been outside of either the pop or jazz worlds. While it is gratifying to see a public figure so interested in academic pursuits, it's somewhat baffling that McFerrin doesn't always display his most apparent talent: solo singing. The wondrously unique <I>Circlesongs</I> (1997) did away with intelligible language all together while still utilizing the group format. Meanwhile, the world waits for McFerrin to return as a solo performer in his own right.

<description><![CDATA[Arthur Fiedler was a bona fide superstar of classical music, the kind of
character whose death is mourned around the world -- as indeed his was. Born
in 1894 to Austrian parents, Fiedler's father was a violin player with the
Boston Symphony Orchestra (BSO) and his mother was a gifted pianist. It was
only a matter of time before the young Fiedler joined the BSO himself in
1915. Although he joined as a violinist, Fiedler was a musical polyglot -- he
also played viola, percussion, organ and piano for the symphony. A few years
later, he formed the acclaimed Boston Sinfonietta and began giving his first
free concerts. In 1930, Fiedler was asked to lead the Boston Pops Orchestra,
and the rest is history. His musical adventurousness and his commitment to
free outdoor concerts brought orchestral music to more people than any other
musician had. The Boston Pops became the most recorded symphony in the world
under his direction, and <I>The Guinness Book of World Records</I> states that
Fiedler conducted the largest classical music concert ever - a performance
on July 4, 1976, for over 400,000 people. Fiedler was an internationally
loved character, a true man of the people with a boundless enthusiasm for
his work. He died in 1979.

<description><![CDATA[The cultured, semi-instrumental tracks from this London-based commercial sensation combine unlikely musical elements into a heart-moving listening mix propelled by dramatic Tribal percussion. Accompanied by orchestral moves, Vanessa-Mae's sweet vocal abilities and emotive string stylings bridge the gap between classical and pop music.

<description><![CDATA[Probably the most famous artist to ever emerge from Argentina, Astor Piazzolla was the creator of the nuevo Tango. Long before bringing the tensions of the street corner into the genteel salons where Tango was sheltered, he learned to play the bandoneon (a button accordion) as a child in New York, where he also got his first taste of jazz. He formed the Octeto Buenos Aires in 1955 and, in 1960, his Quinteto Nuevo Tango, an ensemble composed of violin, guitar, bass, piano and bandoneon. His sense of modernity and understanding of jazz were incorporated into bold arrangements that ebb and flow between gentle melodic phrases and tempestuous crescendos. The 1970s and '80s found him playing to larger worldwide audiences and finally attaining respect at home in Argentina. A prolific composer and recording artist, Piazzolla's popularity after his 1992 death continues to grow as fans explore the labyrinth of passion on display in his music. This legend breathed new, vital life into an old form.

He led a relatively unremarkable life until early 1990s, when he made an amateur recording of himself singing Celtic favorites for his parents' anniversary party. According to legend, the CD made it into the hands of EMI executive and within months McDermott was signed to a multi-album contract. He's recorded everything from sentimental standards to war veteran tribute albums. McDermott has also teamed up with fellow tenors Ronan Tynan and Anthony Kearns to create the Irish Tenors, a crossover operatic singing group that's the Celtic answer to portly Italian brother group the Three Tenors.

<description><![CDATA[Amici Forever are representative of the evolution and popularity of crossover classical music in the early 2000s. Flirting with the same market dominated by such big shots as Charlotte Church, the Three Tenors and Andrea Bocelli, Amici Forever take an interesting tack: the five svelte opera singers (two tenors, two sopranos and one basso, all with boy/girl band good looks) have all the trappings of a rock band (except for their clothing). This rock aesthetic is played up in their marketing, which positions them as "the Opera Band," and in their actual music, which features such covers as "Unchained Melody" mixed in with more traditional material. In other words, Amici Forever are like a classically-trained Abba, with a similar "commercial" vibe. As with Abba, the commercialism is a part of the package, so it doesn't really get in the way of enjoying the band's highly stylized music. It's merely a facet of what that music is -- namely, a well-marketed and effective pop product.

<description><![CDATA[The Klazz Brothers, best known for their work with the Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra, joined forces with Cuban jazz musicians Alexis Herrera Estevez and Elio Rodriguez Luis to create one of 2004's most unexpected releases under the rather simplistic rubric of Cuba Percussion. But there is nothing simple about this pairing. The group fuses Cuban sounds like salsa and mambo with the sawhorses of western classical music: Mozart, Brahms and Beethoven.
