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.

An expanded softpak with all 22 CD tracks as well as a 60-minute bonus DVD. 60-minute bonus DVD features behind-the-scenes recording session footage with Yo-Yo Ma and the guest artists, photo gallery and 5 complete music videos:
James Taylot "Here Comes The Sun"
Diana Krall "You Couldn't Be Cuter"
Alison Krauss"The Wexford Carol"
Chris Botti "My Favorite Things"
Renee Fleming "Touch The Hand Of Love"



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What a joy!
I watched the bonus DVD first and learned so much about why each song was chosen and how the arrangements came to be. Yo-Yo Ma is an effervescent personality who exudes such love and joy himself, the artists loved working with him. Some were old friends, some new. The music is exceptionally beautiful, with an unexpected selection for the holidays.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - New holiday sounds
An interesting mix. Not your ordinary ubiquitous selection of holiday music. No background music here. Guests will be too intrigued.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Lovely to listen to
This is not your typical holiday album. There are a few holiday standards here, such as "Joy to the World", however, the arrangement is not what you might expect. I feel the true highlight of this album is track #8; Alison Krauss is goose bump worthy as a vocalist. Tracks #6 and #7 are ubeat and uplifting additions to this album. Where this album fell short is in the few songs which are arranged in an off putting minor key, and with track #20, which seems out of place among the others. However, overall, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Lives Up to its Title
For anyone looking for a great holiday CD that you can listen to year round, this is it! YoYo Ma and his friends provide hours of beautiful music that will lift your spirits and make your heart sing. The final variation of Dona Nobis Pacem with Chris Botti is simply magical. A must for any YoYo Ma fan.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - YO-YO MA as always the best
I recently bought YO-YO MA & FRIENDS music: Songs of Joy and Peace.
It has been wonderful experience as usuall.
