YO-YO MA AND THE SILK ROAD ENSEMBLE: GLOBAL HORIZONS Acclaimed cellist Yo-Yo Ma talks about his latest journeys
east with the Silk Road Ensemble. In a time of global conflict,
Ma is seeking a unifying strain that reaches into the collective
consciousness and flowers in the musical communion of the Silk
Road Ensemble, a band that gathers musicians and composers from
Japan to Armenia and points in between. On the heels of their
second album, SILK ROAD JOURNEYS: BEYOND THE HORIZON (Sony Classical),
we gather the cellist and his band together to talk about their
musical explorations.

ECHOES JUNE CD OF THE MONTH
PEPPINO D'AGOSTINO AND STEF BURNS: BAYSHORE ROAD Peppino D'Agostino is an Italian-born finger-style acoustic
guitar virtuoso who plays before hushed audiences following the
intricacies of his deft filigree. Stef Burns is an electric guitar
shredder more comfortable in front of screaming Alice Cooper fans.
But these two artists, neighbors in the far East Bay suburbs
of San Francisco, have gotten together for an album of refined
electric-acoustic interplay that's part pastoral acoustics and
part Ennio Morricone. They talk about their unlikely, and successful
collaboration.

MARK ISHAM: CRASHING IN AMBIENCE Mark Isham began his film composing career in a small, backroom
apartment near San Francisco where he wrote the electronic score
to NEVER CRY WOLF, almost all on one synthesizer. A quarter century
later, Isham is a top tier Hollywood composer whose resume includes
orchestral scores for A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT, THE MAJESTIC and
MIRACLE. But Isham metaphorically returns to the back room apartment
for the haunting, dream-like ambient soundtrack to Paul Haggis's
acclaimed film, CRASH. We talk to Isham about his powerful score.
