I did not know what to expect from this CD, but based on past releases from Yo Yo Ma, I decided to give it a try. It is not classical, but rather a collection of Asian influenced music: Think Tan Dun - Crouching Tiger, Hidden dragon. If you like this genre, you will be pleased with this album. For others, it will be an acquired taste. Excellent supporting musicians and recording quality, with feel for the environment. It took several listenings to appreciate it, but it provides great exposure to other musical cultures.
This is a great CD to have as a follow up on the documentary DVD of Yo Yo Ma's Silk Road Ensemble.

I am enjoying this album. The style is unique but not radical. It is more of a new age album than classical. The tunes are derived from the middle east, but my western music ears are comfortable with it.
