Pittsburgh Tribune Praises Edgar Meyer's Concertos
"Edgar Meyer's solo debut recording is jaw-droppingly
amazing...this...recording presents him strongly as
one of the most phenomenal string players in history....
While bass players have long ventured into cello range,
Meyer's beautiful tone extends into violin range without the
colorless ghostly tone characteristic of this instrument
being played out of its depth. And that he yields nothing
in tone quality to Yo-Yo Ma, his solo partner in the concerto,
flaunts the point."
-- Mark Kanny, Pittsburgh Tribune

AMAZING Reviews for Casa (Morelenbaum2/Sakamoto)
"The Japanese master of musical surprises keeps moving between
the worlds of pop and the avant-garde, with piano articulation here
that turns out to be a perfect match for the music of Antonio Carlos
Jobim. Add Jacques Morelenbaum's plangent cello to the mix, and
this CD is priceless."
-- Octavio Roca, San Francisco Chronicle
"What they have done to Jobim's music is to boil it down
and recast it so that it becomes slower and more classical.
Ms. Morelenbaum's soprano voice is precise and ethereal,
with its clean, almost vibrato-free long tones; Mr. Sakamoto
fashions piano parts whose chords nod toward
French Impressionism while demonstrating the complexity
of the songs' original harmonic motion; Mr. Morelenbaum's
electric-cello sound cuts through it with romantic strength."
-- Ben Ratliff, New York Times

More Acclaim for Hairspray
"You can still count on a couple of hands the successful
rock music shows, but a new blockbuster example
arrived on Broadway last month. Based on
John Waters' 1988 affectionate recollection of
Kennedy-era Baltimore, Hairspray, or at least
its cast album, is a terrific mood elevator.
...Judging from the cast album, Hairspray
sounds unbeatable....Grade A"
