 Incredible Music on a Great Format December 27, 2007
This music is absolutely incredible, as is the recording. Get this immediately if you have an SACD player. Also, if you do have the SACD player, disregard the one star review...it's not Yo Yo Ma's fault the guy didn't notice the SACD sticker and the verbiage that says it requires a special player.

Yo-Yo Ma's Silk Road Project is a noble and ambitious attempt to bring together "traditional" musicians of Asia with Western musicians. For the most part, they play new music that combines Western instruments with instruments (and tonalities) of China, India, Azerbaijan, Mongolia, and other countries along the Silk Road.Normally, I avoid new music, because much of it is self-indulgent stuff. But the Silk Road Ensemble and its music are quite the opposite: lively, fascinating, musical in the best sense of the word. My wife and I have had the privilege of seeing the Silk Road Ensemble perform twice, in March and October of 2002, and they are fabulous. But if you cannot make the concert, this disk is the next best thing. Highly recommended!
 CD is not compatible with my player June 17, 2002
8 out of 75 found this review helpful
In the excitement of finding this CD, I did not notice that it requires a special player. Upon receiving it and unpacking it I saw the "super audio player only" sticker, and thought that my player would be sofisticated enough to be able to handle it. But, NO. I have spoken with friends and professionals and everyone was surprised to hear of my predicament. I would very much like to return this CD for the same title that will play on my player. Since I could not find a customer service site to air my disappointment, I chose this.
