Banjoist Béla Fleck and Edgar Meyer have been friends and colleagues for more than 20 years, and their new Sony Classical recording Music for Two distills the best live performances from their recent, critically acclaimed duo tour, featuring original pieces and arrangements the two created and developed during the tour. Packaged with a bonus DVD, Music for Two is in stores now.
Music for Two includes 16 new pieces, both original works written in collaboration and new arrangements of pieces by J.S. Bach, which the two wrote and polished during their first joint tour as a duo in 2001. With the release of Music for Two, Fleck and Meyer will hit the road again in May, with concerts throughout the U.S. including key dates in Washington, D.C. (May 20), in New York at Town Hall (May 22) and in San Francisco (May 30).
The bonus DVD, Obstinato: "Making Music for Two," features a 40-minute cinema verité film about the Fleck/Meyer partnership, shot on the road during the first leg of their tour by filmmaker Sascha Paladino, who is Fleck’s brother. Combining live performance and backstage footage with a close-up view of Fleck and Meyer composing together, rehearsing and refining their emerging repertoire, it is a rare and compelling documentary glimpse into a highly creative collaboration as it develops.

Sony Classical's Heartland: An Appalachian Anthology is
the ultimate new American roots/Bluegrass music album compilation.
It features the finest fiddlers and strings imaginable on both
the classical and bluegress scenes today: the banjo mastery of
Béla Fleck, bluegrass legend Sam Bush, founding member
of the New Grass Revival quartet with Béla Fleck, bluegrass
mandolinist/guitarist/fiddler Mike Marshall, and Mark O'Connor
who built his roots in Texas fiddle music, for which he won national
recognition. James Taylor and country star Alison Krauss make
a special appearance on the CD along with cello sensation Yo-Yo
Ma, violinist Josh Bell, and classical/country bass player Edgar
Meyer.
Bach: Unaccompanied Cello Suites
A labor of love for over 30 years, Edgar Meyer offers us his unique
interpretation of the Bach
Unaccompanied Cello Suites Performed on Double Bass. It is
an extraordinary treatment of this landmark classical piece by
the world's greatest classical bass virtuoso.
Well known for his performing and composing on the best-selling
albums Appalachia Waltz
and Appalachian Journey
-- both with cellist Yo-Yo
Ma and violinist Mark
O'Connor -- Meyer is the undisputed virtuoso on the double
bass, and has made a significant expansion of the bass repertory
with this new album.
On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the death of Johann
Sebastian Bach, Sony Classical is proud to offer this rare recording
by Edgar Meyer of the Bach Cello Suites Performed on Double Bass.
