Decca, 2005

Glorious, amazing, inspirational
Listening to Pavarotti every day, particularly his "The Best" CD, is a MUST. Disc #2 was glorious, his interpretation of folk songs is so seamless that your swept along with his joy in performing these gorgeous pieces. Do you want to be uplifted? Buy Pavarotti's The Best.

A Festival of Carols in Brass

31 reviews
Adolphe Adam, Anonymous, ...

Sony, 1991

A True Classic
This CD is all instrumental of well known traditional christmas carols. One of the pieces is a brass version of "Twelve Days of Christmas" is my absolute, all time favorite version. We have enjoyed ours for years and bought two more to give to family members so that (hopefully) when we visit them over the holidays we can listen to the good stuff!

The Most Relaxing Piano Album in the World...Ever!

14 reviews
Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

EMI Classics, 2001

Beautiful piano music!
This is simply an exquisite collection of beautiful piano pieces. I am very satisfied with this purchase. I can read while listening to this music-call it background music...maybe, but even when you're doing something else-the music is there...it does not intrude, but it doesn't get lost either. I am having a hard time explaining this. I wanted music to relax and enjoy. I got just that with this ...

Decca, 2002

Love this album!
This album is just what it says -- Ultimate Relaxtion. The sound is good, the music selections are well done and well chosen. Just turn out the lights, turn on the tree, and put this music on. You'll be relaxed as can be in no time!

Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces

Essential Guitar: 34 Gtr Masterpieces

Decca, 2002

Two-and-a-half hours of bliss
This may be the best money I've ever spent. I got 2-1/2 hours of bliss for less than what I'd usually pay for one CD -- and you know how it is with music. You buy an album because of a song or two that you love, and you find that you like maybe half the songs on it. There's not a single selection in this one that I would've left out. It includes Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, performed ...

Andre Rieu in Wonderland (incl bonus CD)

Andre Rieu

Denon Records, 2008

I LOVE this DVD!
The background music on the main menu screen is from "Gone with the Wind" and is absolutely excellent! The opening of the presentation starts with music from "Space Odyssey" and is phenomenal! The reproduction of the audio could not be better! The entire presentation shows the incredible talent, hard work, and endeavors from Andre and his musical group. I highly recommended this DVD! We are very ...

Sarah Brightman Classics

Sarah Brightman, Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni, ...

Angel Records, 2002

Soprano Sarah Soars
What a rare treat to hear such a wonderful voice! The music transcends the various languages( Latin, Italian, French, Spanish and almost no English) and communicates directly, beyond intellect, deeper to sooth the soul. This we expect from Opera and Religious selections such as Pucinni's "Nessun Dorma" and Lloyd Webber's "Piu Jesu". A favorite is the solo rendition of "Time To Say Good-bye". ...

Music of Christmas

38 reviews
Percy Faith and His Orchestra, Adolphe Adam, ...

Sony, 1990

A reference!
It's a masterpiece Christmas album, a reference! If you listen to other orchestrated Christmas albuns you will find many of their arrangements are based on this Percy Faith's one.

Jacqueline du Pre - Favourite Cello Concertos ~ Boccherini, Dvorak, Elgar, Haydn, Monn, Saint-Saens, Schumann

17 reviews
Edward Elgar, Luigi Boccherini, ...

EMI Classics, 1990

Wonderful Collection
This is a wonderful collection of Jacqueline du Pre's work, both because it traces her development as an artist, her unique interaction with various conductors and her interpretations of a variety of composers. Jacueline du Pre is a cellist for all time.

The Joy of Christmas

21 reviews
John Francis Wade, Anonymous, ...

Sony, 1997

Just As I Remembered
Raise the roof and sing praises on high! Play this if you cannot make it to church, and you will feel like you are there. The incomparable sound of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir with all the religious classics. A few oddities are tagged on at the end, the Nutcracker, Children's Prayer from Hansel & Gretel and the ubiquitous Handel's Messiah.

The Glorious Sound of Christmas

21 reviews
Adolphe Adam, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Sony, 1991

Both great instrumentals and vocals
This was another album we always listened to when I was a child. It's kind of Mormon Tabernacleish sounding, with all the religious songs of the holidays right there. Not a secular one in the batch. But for that lush Sixties Christmas sound, with loads of strings and smoothness (can you say Muzak) it cannot be beat. I like to turn it up loud and sing along--then put on the Billboard Christmas ...

Mozart for Relaxation

6 reviews
Richard Stoltzman, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

RCA, 1999

A Musical Tranquilizer
This is a terrific collection of many of Mozart's best known and most beloved pieces. You will probably recognize many of the melodies - and with this CD, of course, you'll learn their names. This CD is really aptly named - it is a very 'relaxing' collection of beautiful music. One reviewer said that its great for the car - but also after that long, grinding day at work - you know, the kind ...

Christmas Adagios

10 reviews
Gerald Finley, Adolphe Adam, ...

Decca, 2001

One of my very top 5 favorite holiday albums!
What a delightful surprise this 2 disc album was and I'm not a big fan of Christmas music. I loved all the selections and felt they were well performed. This is a true "must have" for any Christmas collection. Superior to many other compliations on the market. This one is a keeper! It is the one album I'll pick first to listen to after Thanksgiving.

Andre Rieu - 100 Years of Strauss

15 reviews
André Rieu

Denon Records, 2003

Andre Rieu's love for Johann Strauss
I own a few of Andre Rieu's DVDs. In my opinion, this is one of his best. He takes care to explain the background of Strauss' music, music that has enchanted millions of listeners for decades. I am grateful that this musician dedicates himself to the resurrection of Strauss'immortal music and his DVDs are excellent, with the exception of his Flying Dutchman, which is complicated by having to ...

Build Your Baby's Brain

19 reviews
Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Sony, 1998

Wonderful stimulating music for baby
I am sorry for the previous review who said that intelligence is hereditary. If that is true, all mankind would have been doomed from the start. Intelligence is not hereditary, but rather a result of stimulation during infancy and birth. Sure, it isn't a guarantee that your child *will* become a genius if you attempt to educate them from birth, but there is no doubt that real educational ...

The Most Famous Opera Duets

32 reviews
Eberhard Wächter, Georges Bizet, ...

EMI Classics, 1994

Beautiful duets...
This CD is really awesome. I'm new to opera, but love the music on this CD. I use opera music in my CD clock radio (Timex from Amazon) to fall asleep to. What a way to fade into dreamland.

Bach: Violin Concertos

11 reviews
Johann Sebastian Bach, Daniel Barenboim, ...

EMI Classics, 2002

Very pleasing
I can understand the criticism and praise from the reviewers on this interpretation. Once again, it's a matter of taste and ultimately liking the balance between technical skill and expression. Sometimes the tempi can alter the course of appreciation as well, and I think that's more the case here. To my ear, this is a very solid and beautiful rendition. Perlman plays with a very distinct ...
