Album Description
Imagine a party, a musical party inspired by the holiday season. A party that celebrates the universal hopes, dreams and joy animating seasonal festivals the world over - Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid al-Adha, Kwanzaa, Yule and New Year's Day. That is what brought Yo-Yo Ma together with a remarkable group of friends - some old, some new - to create SONGS OF JOY & PEACE. It is Yo-Yo's hope that everyone who listens to this album will hear a song familiar, comfortable and beloved to them as well as discover and fall in love with music that is brand new.

 YO YO MA Songs of Joy & Peace January 9, 2009
Songs of Joy & PeaceYO YO MA and the added artists on this album is absolutely the best...I play this album at least a couple of times a day and sleep with the mp3 and other of his albums each night.
This has to be some of his best work to date...my opinion...Would tell evrybody I know to try this album and it will change any preconcieved notions about classical music...Yo Yo Ma makes classical music enjoyable to all ears!!!!
Wonderful - it delivers exactly what the titile says! January 9, 2009
The music gave us great pleasure - it is in top place in our Christmas collection. Our enjoyment was tripled by the wonderful DVD disk allowing us to share Yo-Yo Ma's friendship with the artists. A must for everybody's Holiday collection!
Truly Joyful January 7, 2009
Yo Yo Ma has done it again. Just a delightful, joyful album. I especially enjoy the collaboration with James Taylor on "Here Comes the Sun", their own version creating a new classic and the several improvisations on Dona Nobis Pacem.
Marvelous cd - not just for the holidays January 7, 2009
YoYo Ma has collaborated with a bunch of fabulous musicians to create a wonderful collection of music that shouldn't just be listened to during the holidays.
A nice surprise January 6, 2009
I have always found Yo Yo Ma a consumate artist with taste and charm both personally and musically. Yet, I come to this album with a little trepidation with the various styles and approaches. I was prepared to be happily surprised but cautious in that usually such albums are cuts of half hearted material devlivered just as half heartedly. However, the mix of artists is quite wonderful and each work is a little treasure and a delight to the ear. The video is wonderful to see although a bit contrived. There are wonderful jazzy numbers but also some interesting and quite novel combinations of instruments. So, this was not the disappointment that I had feared. It is new, bright and something wonderful to the ear. You can easy listen but you will be brought to pick up the album package quite often and fulfill the want to know exactly who the guest artist is and find out more about them. Quite a nice surprise.
