4.0 out of 5 stars Appalacian Waltz, 6 Feb 2003
By J. D. Stevenson "elainedave" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I particularly like instrumental music as opposed to a mix with vocal, and, being a native Texan, tend to like a country flavour. This CD fits my taste, and deserves a four star rating in my opinion, with the title track being particularly enjoyable. Not an excessive amount of the "well known folks in the classical world crossing over to other genres" syndrome. Another really good CD in this genre is "Hop, Wobble, and Skip".

5.0 out of 5 stars Blend of Celtic and classical styles, 25 Jan 2005
By Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(#1 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Although classical music evolved from folk music many centuries ago, it is so far removed from its ancestor now that the idea of bringing the two together seems incredible. This album achieves that, blending folk music (of the Celtic variety) with classical music to produce something that traditionalists will be horrified at, but which those of us with broad minds can appreciate.

Yo-Yo Ma (cello) and Edgar Meyer (double bass) were already established classical musicians when they teamed up with Mark O'Connor. Mark's background was very different from theirs - he grew up with an interest in Texas fiddle music, later becoming a top Nashville session musician. Mark's name could be found in the list of credits of hundreds of country music albums released in the eighties. Such was his reputation that Mark could have spent the rest of his working life making a good living that way, but he wanted to make an impact with his own music. He certainly achieved that with this album, where he usually plays the fiddle but he plays the violin (same instrument with a different playing technique) on two tracks and the mandolin (different instrument) on another.

This album is entirely instrumental (the sequel, Appalachian journey, which I've already reviewed, contains some vocals provided by guest singers) and the tunes are either traditional (usually of Irish origin) or composed by members of the trio.

The music on this album and Appalachian journey is very different from anything else I've come across. Of the two, I slightly prefer Appalachian journey, but that may be because it has more of a country influence. Nevertheless, both of them are masterpieces that have a special place in my CD collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Mild and superbly mellow - the title track is brilliant., 31 Mar 2000
By A Customer
Take the 'phone off the hook, close the windows, light the fire, draw the cork, put it on, turn it up (but just a little), relax and listen. You'll drift off, but not asleep...
