Silk Road Journeys: Beyond the Horizon

Editorial Reviews

Barnes & Noble - Scott Paulin
In recent years, cellist Yo-Yo Ma has devoted a great deal of time and energy to his ambitious boundary-crossing Silk Road Project, and the resulting collaborations are paying ever-increasing dividends. As many listeners will already know, this project explores the richly interwoven musical cultures along the ancient trade route -- the Silk Road -- between China and Europe; composers and musicians from Iran, India, Turkey, Mongolia, and many of the former Soviet republics of central Asia have all taken part. On Silk Road Journeys: Beyond the Horizon, the music ranges from the traditional to the newly created, even including an evocative group improvisation on the track ...

In recent years, cellist Yo-Yo Ma has devoted a great deal of time and energy to his ambitious boundary-crossing Silk Road Project, and the resulting collaborations are paying ever-increasing dividends. As many listeners will already know, this project explores the richly interwoven musical cultures along the ancient trade route -- the Silk Road -- between China and Europe; composers and musicians from Iran, India, Turkey, Mongolia, and many of the former Soviet republics of central Asia have all taken part. On Silk Road Journeys: Beyond the Horizon, the music ranges from the traditional to the newly created, even including an evocative group improvisation on the track titled "Oasis." If it occasionally sounds like a film soundtrack, there are two good reasons: First, the music was created for a Japanese television program about the Silk Road, and second, two leading Chinese film composers Zhao Jiping and Zhao Lin are responsible for several of the pieces heard here. Jiping's "Summer in the High Grassland," mostly a haunting soliloquy for Ma, is among the most beautiful tracks, and also memorable are two compelling numbers by Iranian composer Kayhan Kalhor: the mesmerizing "Mountains Are Far Away" and the restless "Gallop of a Thousand Horses." All told, this Journey offers a wide variety of musical styles, many of which have their own array of distinctive instrumental sounds and sometimes the vocals of Alim Qasimov as well. Holding it all together, Ma's eloquent cello blends effortlessly with its surroundings, in meditation and celebration alike, no matter where it stops on the long Silk Road.
All Music Guide - Blair Sanderson
Continuing their explorations on Silk Road Journeys: When Strangers Meet, Yo-Yo Ma and the Silk Road Ensemble go even deeper into cross-cultural studies on this 2005 soundtrack album. Produced for a 10-part series on Japan's NHK television network, the CD's 15 tracks are arranged in three suites, entitled Enchantment, Origins, and New Beginnings, more reflective of inherent musical affinities than of the way the music was used in the program. The musicians tap into the variously overlapping musical styles of lands stretching from China and India to Iran and Turkey, and the arrangements by Zhao Jiping and Zhao Lin include a mix of instruments from around the world, to add greater color and sonic dimensions. The album's exotic and meditative qualities may attract fans of both international and new age music, though there is perhaps little crossover appeal for Ma's classical devotees. Due to the group's cohesion and spirit of cooperation, solos are fairly evenly distributed, and Ma stands out no more or less than the other players. Indeed, kamancheh virtuoso Kayhan Kalhor and vocalist Alim Qasimov have greater prominence, and it may even be said that tabla master Sandeep Das steals the show. Sony's sound quality is satisfactory, though a little soft in places.
Billboard - Anastasia Tsioulcas
A beguiling array of new works and arrangements of traditional music. Each piece is so vividly realized in bright colors and finely textured details that they are nearly cinematic in themselves.
