Rushton,
I can recommend the Hebraic Rhapsody for Cello and Orchestra on the New York Album (an album put out when Yo-Yo Ma toured with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra). I don't know if it is out on vinyl. I would love to find a copy if it was... It was a decent tour too...
T_Bone, I have three performances, but not the Yo-Yo Ma. The performances I have are:

Bernstein/OrchNatFra, Rostropovich (EMI on a MHS reissue)
Mehta/Israel PO, Starker (Decca)
Ormandy/PhilO, L.Rose (Columbia)

All are very interestingly different. I'll check the library for the Ma recording since you recommend it. Thanks!

I have it on ceedee. It is well-recorded and well-performed. And my copy is signed by YYM and DZ... :^)

Now back to your regularly-scheduled vinyl sessions...
Today it is Verdi's la Forza Del Destino... I am listening to a 1980 Japanese pressing by King Records off the original 1955 London/Decca recording with Renata Tebaldi in the role of Donna Leonora, and Mario del Monaco (one of my favorite Italian tenors) singing Don Alvaro.

What a pair of lungs on that lady...

Other than being a really nice pressing, it is a fabulous recording. Can't beat it for $2.
Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

The Smith's - "How Soon is Now?" 12" club mix

Nirvana - Nevermind

Steely Dan - Aja (again, and again, and again...)

The Police - Ghost in the Machine (Japanese Pressing, v nice)
