Simply the Best May 31, 2005

I can only say, that as far as I am concerned, this is just some of the best music I have ever heard.... Im guessing this is the way Bach intended his music to sound in the first place, and who better for that than the AMO and Koopman...and of course YO YO... if u love classic music, you are absolutly going to LOVE this cd..I highly recommend it
YO YO MA'S SIMPLY BAROQUE IS SIMPLY...WONDERFUL ! March 31, 2008

The Baroque Period in Europe originated in the early 17th century and reached it's peak in the early 18th century. The English word "baroque" is translated from the Italian "barocco", meaning "bizarre". "Passionate" is probably more like it. Johann Sebastian Bach is the most celebrated of the Baroque composers, although George Frederick Handel and Antonio Vivaldi are also famous for their Baroque music.
Yo Yo Ma's Simply Baroque (1999) brings the Grammy Award winning master cellist together with the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra (Tom Koopman) to perform mostly Bach pieces from the 18th century late Baroque period. You might recognize some of this music even if you don't know your classical music. It is thoughtful and soothing, even sounding sacred at times. Yo Yo's rich and soulful cello brings a sad beauty to these beautiful melodies, and his skillful perfection is satisfying and impressive. Enveloped by the A.B.O., Ma brings these great compositions to life, and once again a new generation hears the music of Bach and Boccherini.
You don't have to know anything about classical music to enjoy Simply Baroque, it's quite enjoyable just as it is. It's relaxing, reflective and interesting. It's simply...wonderful!

This is simply a beautiful cd. I find myself carried away by the arrangements-just wonderful! I must admit this is my first cd by Yo-Yo Ma. It will not be the last. If this is the kind of quality one can expect from this artist, I am a fan!
I have listened to this cd 3/4 times and it still amazes me. I become a part of the music. If you enjoy classical music with arrangements that are intelligent, played with sensitivity, and a joy to experience, buy this cd.

Great album of YO YO Ma's ......as usual he is a master of the instrument.....I have to say , however, that Simply Baroque II was a greater listening pleasure for me simply because the music was more uplifting and in the style of baroque I prefer....but this is also a fine album for Baroque lovers.
Very Enjoyable Listening August 27, 2007

Simply Baroque by Yo-Yo Ma is an excellent addition to anyone's collection of Baroque Music. The rich Cello tones strike a proper balance between showcasing Yo-Yo Ma and letting the rest of the musicians play the music. This CD is a beautiful collection of Baroque music. If you like Baroque, get this CD.
