1. Phenomenal - I honestly don't know how I'm going to go back to listening to any of these tracks from another group of musicians. Ma's use of the baroque cello for this album was an incredibly insightful choice. The emotion from him and the orchestra combined make for some seriously emotional playing. The Ebarme dich will bring tears to your eyes, no matter how much or little you listen to classical music. I can't get enough of this album.

2. A wonderful Yo-Yo Ma album! - I have the CD to this, and it is a real curiosity the extent that Ma went to to get the sounds out of his cello that he did. He used authentic baroque strings, removed the endpin from his cello, and used a different bow. The results are fantastic! This is an album not to be missed.

3. Gorgeous - I'm befuddled that nobody has reviewed this absolute gem. With the opening piece (Sei Lob und Preis mit Ehren), the CD trasports your ears to a different time. Yo-Yo's cello is the velvet fabric that brings the piece together by balancing out the energetic string section. The arrangements are nothing short of lovely. The combination of Yo-Yo Ma, ABO and Ton Koopman is a match made in heaven. The emotions pour out of the cello in the Erbame dich in a way that makes this atheist feel the emotional pull of religion through the music. I think Bach would have cried to hear Yo-Yo Ma play. Jesus, bleibet meine Freude (Jesus, Joy of Man's Desiring) is personally not my favorite piece- I've been overexposed to it, but I cannot get enough of the recording here. It's absolutely sublime. An absolute must-have.

1. Enjoyable if you already know the mass - I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who wasn't already familiar with traditional vocal performances of Machaut's mass, because the guitar arrangement doesn't really "make sense" unless you have in the background of your mind what is going on in the text of the mass, and where the setting shifts back and forth between polyphony and chant. (With the guitar arrangement, there are what seem to be rather odd pauses when these things happen.) This album is actually two complete performances of the mass, on two different guitars it seems--someone more familiar with guitars than I am will have to provide more detail. As a guitar arrangement of Machaut it's quite well realized, faithful to the source. But given the limitations of the single instrument, it ends up being soothing and somewhat monotonous, where a good vocal performance of the Messe can be much more varied and dynamic.

1. Yo-Yo Ma is the best! - Ma's playing is perfect as always. This kind of music is worth every penny. I would download this for sure. I also would recommend another album that I just heard and is amazing. It is called " Hands on Piano" by Judith Burganger and Leonid Treer. It is truly extraordinary to hear fingers on one piano. You can find it by searching hands on piano.
