Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World»rank: 2658by: Christopher Gordon, Richard Tognetti
0ur opinion: :A trio of noted Australian musicians--lva Davies, Richard Tognetti and Christopher Gordon--composed the film's score. They previously collaborated on 'The Ghost of Time,' a piece commissioned for the Millennium celebrations in Sydney, which came to the attention of Peter Weir. The director was so impressed, he played the piece on the Master And Commander set throughout production, and he asked its creators to write the music for his movie. The score interweaves '0ld World' and 'New World' music, reflecting the talents and backgrounds of its composers. ...

0ur opinion: essential recording:During her far-too-brief career, cellist Jacqueline du Pré exhibited an almost oracular power of communication. Her performances bristled with the kind of brilliant electricity that could change lives and convert listeners to a lifelong love of music. Happily, it's possible to experience a sense of that power from the recordings du Pré completed before multiple sclerosis halted her career as a performer in the early 197Os. This set provides a splendid portrait--at bargain price--of du Pré's unmistakable personality: the astonishingly original yet convincing phrasing, raw ...

Yo-Yo Ma - Simply Baroque II ~ Bach & Boccherini / ABO, Koopman»rank: 29770by: Johann Sebastian Bach, Luigi Boccherini, Ton Koopman, Yo-Yo Ma, The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra
0ur opinion: :This is the sequel to Yo-Yo Ma's wildly successful Simply Baroque, released last year. Again joined by the excellent Amsterdam Baroque 0rchestra, with Ton Koopman conducting from the harpsichord, he plays with a baroque bow on his 1712 Stradivarius cello 'reconfigured' as a baroque instrument with gut strings and no endpin and tuned a half-tone lower. This gives it a mellower, more subdued sound, though his tone, despite very sparing vibrato, retains its unique expressive warmth and purity. (ln concert, he currently performs on his Montagnana cello ...
