Barber: Cello Concerto; Britten: Symphony for Cello & Orchestra
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
Barber's elegant and lithe cello concerto deserves much greater attention than it usually gets. Tuneful, lyrical, and full of fun, it was for years avoided by cellists because of its excruciating difficulty. The piece holds no terrors for Yo-Yo Ma, who plays with perfect fluency and grace. Britten's Cello Symphony may be less difficult to play, but it's a much darker, more disturbing piece than the Barber, and Ma's conviction and authority keep you listening from the gnarly opening right through to the hopeful ending. --David Hurwitz

Album Description
BRAINWAVE SYMPHONY combines carefully selected music from the baroque, classical, romantic, impressionistic, and twentieth-century eras with breakthrough audio technology to give you the best of classical wisdom and modern science.
We all experience many states of consciousness, from ordinary waking and sleeping states to extraordinary states in which we are more at peace, particularly aware, or unusually creative. Each state has a unique pattern of brainwaves that can be mapped and measured. Brainwave Symphony uses of inaudible pulses of sound, based on these brain maps, to trigger your brain to produce the state you want to experience.
Combining this powerful new recording process with carefully selected works of Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Bach, and other masters offers a beautiful and unique listening experience as well as a powerful tool for personal transformation.

Took a nap during labor.......2007-01-16
I used the first CD in this collection (Alpha) to assist me during the labor and delivery of our daughter. I put it on our ipod and listened to it over and over during the labor process. I actually managed a light nap during active labor and had very little pain throughout the process. It that doesn't tell you that it keeps you relaxed and able to meditate, I don't know whatelse might convince you. The recording is great, the music lovely, and it does what it claims to do. I highly recommend it!
Awesome!.......2006-03-17
These really work! Ever wonder why listening to classical music may make you more up-tight than relaxing you? Here's the reason...
Induces great relaxation, pair with noise-cancelling headphones and sleep on plane........2005-12-30
So far I have only really used the relaxation CD, which works amazingly well. I have been flying more red-eyes lately in part because I know I can sleep on the plane from as soon as I get on. However, I have always slept pretty well on airplanes!
I keep forgetting to try out the rest of the CD collection.
Recommended for first rate relaxation and sleep!.......2005-06-06
These cds sound like simple classical music, but they do indeed assist you to enter different states of mind. For best effect, wear stereo headphones. But even without, you will find it easier to relax, sleep and meditate. If you don't like classical, the Brainwaves Suite has a new age/environmental sound.
Worth the listen.......2004-10-17
My curiousity was well rewarded when I first listened to these four CDs. The symphonic music is seamlessly recorded, accented with tone notations that are easy on the ear and peaceful on the mind. This set is at the office, on the iPod and the home computer, and loaned to others on a regular basis. They have flavored prayer services and supported pastoral conversations. Make good presents, too. Worried about subliminal suggestion? Well, if clearer thinking and thoughtful reflection is subliminal thinking, then you will get the message each time you listen to these recordings. Other recordings by Dr. Thompson deliver just as these do.

a great pairing, superbly performed.......2005-01-15
These terrific 20th century cello works are unfortunately not heard as much as they should be, and are here given a fabulous performance by Yo-Yo Ma, with David Zinman and the Baltimore Orchestra sharing in the brilliance. The Barber concerto is especially appealing; it is a gorgeous, flowing piece, very accessible from the first hearing. The Andante Sostenuto has an unearthly beauty, and melodies abound throughout the piece. Samuel Barber (1910-1981) wrote the concerto in 1945, and it was premiered by Raya Garbousova with Serge Koussevitsky and the Boston Symphony in '46.
The Britten "Symphony for Cello and Orchestra" has more muscle than the Barber piece, and is a little harder to grasp, with a lot of contrasting sounds in the brass section. Britten (1913-1976) wrote it 1963, and it was inspired by Mstislav Rostropovich who gave the premiere in 1964.
The liner notes describe the two contemporaries, alike in so many ways beyond the obvious timeframe of their lives.
There are passages from Yo-Yo Ma that are breathtaking, and I can't think of a recording where I have enjoyed his playing more. An excellent addition to any 20th century classical CD collection, the sound is good and total playing time is 62'02.
Absolutely stellar from start to finish!.......2004-06-10
This would be my nomination for the quintessential CD of 20th-century cello music, even though these are relatively unknown works by two very important composers. Yo-Yo Ma shows again why he is on a very short list of the greatest cellists of his generation.
There is nothing not to like in this CD --- the soloist & orchestra, not to mention top-notch production values. These are two supreme pieces of 20th century music. They are oftentimes dark & brooding pieces, and they make one wonder why more composers have not written solo music for the instrument. It also makes one wonder why so few soloists have recorded these pieces.
Even though the pieces are obscure, I would consider this as an essential part of any serious classical collection.
Excellent 20th Century Works Featuring Yo Yo Ma.......2002-11-05
This excellent album features a concerto and a symphony, each for cello and orchestra. Samuel Barber's "Concerto for Cello and Orchestra, OP.22" is exciting and dramatic; I heard elements of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Sheherazade." It's a modern piece, but not as avant-garde as Stravinsky. The lyrical melody is deepened and made more complex by changing tempos, dramatic shifts in volume, and very modern orchestration. Yo Yo Ma is, as usual, excellent. The drama of movement I is offset by the more contemplative and brooding movement II
The Britten is equally dramatic, with sporadic bursts of force and more horns. Yo Yo Ma's cello isn't as always discernable against this fury, but when Ma is at the forefront his sound takes precedence, controlling the overall tone and sound of the entire orchestra. Like Barber, the dynamics vary greatly, and thunderous passages abruptly give way to quieter ones involving only a few instruments. Although the Adagio (track 6) begins quietly, some Sturm und Drang enters about 5 minutes into it, with rolling and thunderous drums, and ominous sounding horns. Near the close is a very moving cello solo. The last section (track 7) is lighter and thematic, with horns, soaring violins, and the cello playing counterpoint around a more identifiable motif. It's beautiful and stirring.
The two compositions complement each other nicely, and I recommend the album not only for Ma's usual superb playing, but also as a way to explore two 20th century masters. Not for easy listening, but still accessible for those willing to give it a try.
No Exception To Yo Yo Ma's Greatness.......2000-10-31
If there is one cellist who can combine driving passion with a techincal capability that is unthinkable, it is Yo Yo Ma. It generally takes a lot of convincing to get the general public to appreciate virtually unknown music such as the Barber and the Britten, but Ma does it admirably. From the opening of the lyrical Barber Concerto to the driving force of the Britten Cello Symphony, Ma keeps you interested. Fabulous work from an outstanding artist. Yo Yo Ma delivers as usual

Customer Reviews:
Interesting, and so cheap!.......2005-03-17
In response to the reviewer below, yes, some of the recordings do not have the best sound quality. But that's not what this is about, it's about great recordings of the century.
There are two discs, each with about 18 tracks, averaging about 4 minutes each, of excerpts and individual movements of the some of the most famous of the 150 "GROCs."
In the booklet it has a few interesting (sometimes not that interesting) facts about each of the 150 performances.
If you don't mind excerpts of pieces or isolated movements, this would be a worthwhile purchase, especially for the bizarrely reasonable price.
Not that great.......2004-11-19
If this is supposed to be an album of "the greatest" -- I wasn't too impressed. The quality didn't seem that good and the selections, well, not all that popular to my mind.

Customer Reviews:
Above all, enjoy the MUSIC of these possibly gay composers........2000-04-27
A wonderful collection of beautiful melodies. I personally doubt whether many of these men self-identified as "gay" in the late-20th-century sense of the word, however. They certainly weren't marching in any pride parades or placing rainbow flag stickers on their buggies. Nevertheless it is important and about damn time to recognize the contribution of these "festive" men to our musical heritage.
Relaxing and Inspiring.......1998-11-23
Sit back and enjoy these 13 themes by eight of the world's greatest composers -- who just happen to have been gay.

There are so many ways to discover the genius of Leonard Bernstein, it's really a question of where to begin. Give a listen to his monumental Mahler cycle, or start with something easier to grasp, his definitive recordings of Copland? On the six-CD Lenny: The Legend Lives On, Deutsche Grammophon does its best to capture the conductor's finest from his last decade (1981-1990), giving us the added bonus of a previously unreleased recording of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 17, with Lenny at the piano.
Not surprisingly, the set focuses on live material, but it begins on a somber note--Bernstein's final concert, recorded at Tanglewood with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Gone is the impassioned energy that marks Lenny's earlier conducting, but the tension and electricity here on Beethoven's Seventh are unmistakable. Other discs feature Bernstein at full strength. Just listen to his sublimely warm recording of Mozart's Great Mass in C minor (K. 427) with the Bavarian Radio Chorus, or his expressive take on Mahler's Fifth Symphony with the Vienna Philharmonic. You also get your fill of Americana--Lenny playing Rhapsody in Blue and, of course, conducting Appalachian Spring. These may lack the passion of his younger recordings for Sony, but they're still thoughtful, great performances. The bonus disc with Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 17 and the Vienna Philharmonic is a special treat for Bernstein lovers. At times, the orchestra sounds a bit tentative, but Lenny is in fine form--slightly more subdued than on his earlier recording of the piece with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, but still plenty playful. Any way you look at it, this is an incredible bargain for this much music and a wonderful introduction to the conducting great. --Jason Verlinde
Customer Reviews:
Great collection from a great conductor.......2005-04-01
This collection is a jewel, I cannot believe this price for such a great music.
The Symphony No. 7 sounds majestic in the last concert, the 4 Sea interludes from Britten are beatiful, The Mozart Mass in C minor its full of Lenny energy, and Rhapsody in Blue where Bernstein plays and conduct is sublime
All the recording are live, and you can feel the energy that Lenny past to you from the music
Truly a must have!!!
