CD Longplay
Yo-Yo Ma’s latest recording for Sony Classical, Appassionato, is a journey through some of the world’s most romantic music—from Mendelssohn to Gershwin to John Williams. Appassionato is something of an event in the recording industry, as it marks Yo-Yo Ma’s first release since The Essential Yo-Yo Ma appeared in August 2005. With a release date set for January 9, 2007, Appassionato seems an ideal Valentine’s Day choice for music lovers.
