Yo Yo Ma Deluxe Box

The Box
Yo-Yo Ma: 30 Years Outside the Box is being presented in a unique, beautifully designed, Casemade, velvet lined, lift off box. All discs will be packaged in original jacket style minijackets highlighting the original album art and complete track listings.

The Music
The recorded history of Yo-Yo Ma in one box. 90CDs: Eighty eight discs of original album releases (including 15 Grammy Award winners) PLUS an additional two discs of bonus material - entirely remastered with DSD technology. Over the past 30 years, Yo-Yo Ma has made several successful recordings that defy categorisation, among them Hush with Bobby McFerrin, Appalachia Waltz and Appalachian Journey with Mark O'Connor and Edgar Meyer and two Grammy winning tributes to the music of Brazil, Obrigado Brazil and Obrigado Brazil Live in Concert. Yo-Yo Ma's most recent recordings include New Impossibilities, a live album recorded with the Silk Road Ensemble and Songs of Joy & Peace, a collaborative recording released last year which has become the best selling album of his 30 year recording career. The Bonus Discs include the first release in any format of John William's Suite from Memoirs of a Geisha for Cello and Orchestra. The second disc includes the first compact disc release of his Air and Simple Gifts, written for the inauguration of President Barack Obama.

The Book
Unique to this box set is a 312 page hard bound book with rare archival photos, essays, artist bios, full track lists, original liner notes and credits. The book's foreword is by longtime Yo-Yo Ma collaborato and Grammy winning pianist Emanuel Ax. The main essay, focusing on Mr. Ma's multifaceted, boundary defying career, is by noted music journalist Richard Dyer. In addition, there are short essays about the recordings from Yo-Yo Ma's main producer Steven Epstein and composer John Williams. the book also features "A Life in Pictures", a chronological photgraphic portrait of Yo-Yo Ma's life and career with over 150 rare, archival photos complimented with messages from many of Yo-Yo Ma's friends and colleagues including Senator Ted Kennedy, James Taylor, Alan Alda, Alison Krauss, Dave Brubeck, Ennio Morricone, Jaime Laredo, Wynton Marsalis, Stephen Colbert and many more.
