<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[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[One of the most important and visible classical artists of the 20th century, Itzhak Perlman gives performances marked by a balance of technical prowess and artistic sensitivity. Born in Israel, he began playing the violin at a young age, performed on the Ed Sullivan show at 13 and was a student at Juilliard. He made his official debut in 1963 at Carnegie Hall and shortly thereafter performed with the New York Philharmonic, then led by Leonard Bernstein. Helped by the management of Sol Hurok, he embarked on an active schedule of international solo performances. In the 1970s he became a fixture on television, an international celebrity and a frequent performer at the White House. Over the next 30 years he performed with every major symphony and conductor in the world and recorded a series of definitive performances of violin repertoire.

<description><![CDATA[Violinist Holbling and her ensemble (featuring a second violinist, cellist, harpsichordist and organist) perform works from the Baroque period that display the musicians' dizzying technical ability as well as their capacity to plumb emotional depths. A joy for fans of Baroque music.

<description><![CDATA[Russian-born violinist Jascha Heifetz is without doubt one of the most important and popular instrumentalists of the twentieth century. As a sign of his lasting dominance, violin instructors worldwide have their students study photographs and performances of this master's work as the ultimate model of flawless technique and elegance. Though occasionally criticized for his seemingly rigid stage presence, he did this in service to the music, allowing for the best projection and tone possible. In contrast to his demeanor, the playing was consistently brilliant throughout his long career, marked by incredible warmth, boggling virtuosity and achingly emotive vibrato.

<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[Certainly one of the most well known and influential flautists of this century, Rampal single-handedly restored his instrument to the place of honor it occupied during the seventeenth century. He has released countless recordings, several of them award-winning and all of them best sellers, showcasing his phenomenal technique and gentle tone. Perhaps even more important than his playing is the enormous impact he has had on the instrument's repertoire. He is responsible for bringing forgotten chamber music by Vivaldi, Leclair and Hayden to an international, mainstream audience, and has received dedications by modern composers including Poulenc, Jolivet and Boulez, among others. If this were not enough to secure him a place in Classical music's hall of fame, he has also gained recognition for his work as a conductor.

<description><![CDATA[One of the top violinists of the twentieth century, Yehudi Menuhin began his illustrious career with a series of stunning concerts in San Francisco, New York and Paris -- all when he was between the ages of seven and ten years old. Phenomenal technique, a rich depth of tone and a maturity far beyond his years led him to interpret the works of masters Beethoven, Bach and Mozart, attacking solos and concertos with a passion rarely rivaled. In the 1950s, Menuhin began to focus on conducting, developing a taste for Indian Classical music that led to a series of groundbreaking collaborations with sitar maestro Ravi Shankar. Though the vigor of his early recordings faded in his later work, the socially engaged Menuhin has left a large body of music and a legacy filled with countless musical and humanitarian awards.

<description><![CDATA[How happy is your baby? Perhaps he or she would be happier listening to famous classical works reconceived as lullabies. We don't know about your baby, but these make us quite content...and ready for nappy-nap time. The unlisted violin soloist is very good.

<description><![CDATA[Vieaux's talent as a classical guitarist takes him from the traditional works of Fernando Sor to the more experimental works of modern composer Jorge Morel. His expressive stylings are rarely showy or ostentatious, instead favoring a more mature approach that values dynamics, nuances and subtle "ritardandos" (slowing down) and "accelerandos."

<description><![CDATA[Fritz Kreisler's playing is like a window into the past for delineating the change of classical violin performance techniques from the late 19th to the early 20th century. A child prodigy, Kreisler developed a tone that influenced the way that modern performers approach their interpretations of a piece. His vibrato is evident on passages of any speed, though his overall sound is less mannered than the affected style that was prevalent in the Romantic era. Kreisler was a composer as well, releasing violin and other compositions (which he sometimes released under other composer's names), influenced by his studies with Anton Bruckner and Leo Delibes. Truly a legend of the violin, we are lucky to have this transitional performer's music recorded.

<description><![CDATA[Equally at home in both Klezmer and classical music settings, clarinetist Feidman is widely hailed as one of the best in the world on his instrument. He's played a major role in preserving and cultivating Jewish folk music in various capacities over the past 30 years, and his exuberant, singing horn work can be heard on numerous recordings as well as in the film <I>Schindler's List</I>.

<description><![CDATA[A virtuoso on the ancient Chinese pipa, Xiao-Fen is not only a renowned interpreter of her instrument's equally ancient repertoire, but also an experimenter who has recently made a splash in the international music world. She's collaborated with artists as diverse as guitar improviser Derek Bailey, jazz pianist Randy Weston, and genre-crosser John Zorn. Other recordings have found her taking on thornier works by modern composers like Leo Smith and Carl Stone. However, it may well be that her more traditional efforts on the pipa -- as heard on the album <i>Spring, River, Flower, Moon, Night</i> -- serve as the most compelling examples of both her percussive, rapid-fire string attacks and the alternate moments of serenity characteristic of the music.
