A new Christmas album from multiple grammy winner Yo-Yo Ma & friends.
Guest artists include James Taylor, Alison Krauss, Renée Fleming, Chris Botti, Diana Krall, Dave Brubeck, Joshua Redman & more.
For his new album, the multiple Grammy-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma invited many of his favorite artists from the worlds of popular and classical music to collaborate on a selection of songs -- some sacred, some secular, some traditionally seasonal, some simply beloved -- connected in their sense of wonder. Yo-Yo Ma conceived of Songs of Joy & Peace as a universal holiday house party of music "uniting different forms of joy" with the idea of combining familiar material with songs that would offer the listener the gift of discovery performed by old friends and new.
