Album review
We can consider this recording, performed by Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble, as another form of crossover - a global format. The musicians that contribute come from all walks of life, and the works they interpret belong to the "personal" directory of dozens of different countries. Thus, here the ‘instrumentarium’ includes (besides Yo-Yo Ma’s cello and some Western classical string instruments) the pipa, the shawu, the Chinese cheng and many others. The vast majority of parts belongs to the purely popular music domain, and has been adapted in many cases by the different group members. An album that builds musical bridges between two very different civilizations. © SM / Qobuz
