Editorial Reviews

It is the title-track of "Appalachia Waltz" which best evokes the mountains - indeed does it with Shaker-like serenity... Ma on cello, Meyer on bass and O'Connor on violin are fluent, conjuring pathos and heart-longing with "Mama" and "Butterfly's day out," swinging out through "Druid fluid" and "F. C.'s jig," or summoning Kronos-like clarity and candour on "Schizoozy." Its compositions burst with engaging ideas. KH Gramophone

Appalacia meets Ireland on Yo Yo Ma CDby BibliophileJM

July 11, 2009: Although I am not a fan of Appalachian music, I was fascinated by the subtle adaptation of the added cello. It softened the somewhat harsh nature of that style of music. At times it was downright soothing. The CD also brought out the inherent Gaelic influence on Appalachia. YoYo Ma is fascinated by so many music styles; he is not a traditionalist. His curiosity has led him to the Silk Road, Appalachia, Brazil, movie music and more. This CD was not a disappointment; it was an eye-opener. I recommend it to the musical adventurer.
