The Most Relaxing Piano Album in the World...Ever!13 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 ...

Angel Records, 1999

Good for relaxing pregnant women
I stumbled onto this album whilst searching bit torrent websites for classical music. I don't normally listen to classical music but thought it might be relaxing for my pregnant wife. After hearing the quality of the performances, the arrangement, and the recording I decided to buy the album from amazon. All the songs you would expect from a "best album in the world" are there and they are not ... 		  
  







  
  
The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe6 reviews
Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Denon Records, 2004

sooth for both unborn and newborn babies.
very soothing for the unborn baby (decreases in-utero kicking) and the newborn baby (increases between-feedings time at night). highly recommended for any newly minted parents out there.

There Aren't Enough Stars...
Of the thousands of albums/cds I have purchased in my lifetime -- were I to have to pick only one to keep -- this would be it. The mark of the collection is an exquisite sensibility and technical excellence. In several of the pieces, you can feel as if your soul, rather than musical instruments, is being played -- but nothing mundane, boring, sophomoric, sentimental, or trite. The choice of ...

Saved My Sanity
My husband and I are musicians so I inwardly groaned when we were given this CD as a gift--I'd rather play the originals rather than some synthesized kiddie version. However, on a recent road trip we got desperate when our colicky son would not stop screaming. We popped this in the CD player and it calmed him down immediately. I swear, it's like aural crack for babies. We now play it at ...

Not A Music Critic ... But A Lover Of All Music ...
Let's not be too harsh regarding this CD. I purchased this as my first baby step into the classical genre and it absolutely made me fall in love with classical music and appreciate it in a way I never could when people tried to make me like it. It is such a wide variety of classical music and I find romance to be joyful, tragic, gentle, harsh & a complete roller coaster that I found all in this ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

A Man and His Art - Magnificently Captured
This 2-CD set produced by Deutche Grammmophon and first released in 2002 is one set of the hundreds that could have been or the dozens that actually have been made and sold successfully all over the world. The exceptional feature of this particular collection is not, of course, the performer. Quite to the contrary, the miraculous consistency of stylings and performance are amongst the most ...

Rollicking Fun
My kids absolutely love this. They could listen to it over and over. I like it as well. A great, fun way to learn to love classical music.

I was very happy with the cd. It arrived in excellent condition and faster than I was led to expect it. I used some of the music from it for my wedding which was wonderful. thank you! 		  
  







  
  
Mendelssohn: Violin Concerto in E minor; Bruch: Violin Concerto #1; Itzhak Perlman10 reviews
Itzhak Perlman, Felix Mendelssohn, ...

EMI Classics, 1990

An Impressive Pairing of Concertos
In addition to the bargain price of this 1990 recording the music lover will find two of the more solid performances of two very popular and demanding violin concertos from the vast repertoire available. Itzhak Perlman is in top form for these performances, marrying his impeccable technique with the poetry inherent in his approach to the scores. The Violin Concerto No.1 in G minor, Op. 26 by Max ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

MENDELSSOHN: 5 Symphonies/7 Overtures (LSO/Claudio Abbado) DG 471 467-2
Unlike many all-digital compilations offered by one orchestra and conductor, this collection of Mendelssohn favorites is outstanding in performance and interpretation throughout. Maestro Abbado shows a genuine affection for the composer and his genius by the sequence of selections on each disc, and I find no weak performances anywhere in this remarkable recording. Charlie Hastings Falls ... 		  
  







  
  
Mendelssohn: Piano Concertos12 reviews
Felix Mendelssohn, Neville Marriner, ...

Sony, 1990

A Legendary Recording
There are so many things that could be said about this recording. It deserves a spot on any top 50 classical recordings list. The piece and the performance are both 5 stars. Mendelssohn is an undeservingly neglected composer. He is ususally thought of as an orchestral composer, since his command of the orchestra is parallel to Mozart's. But in his own time, he was as great a pianist as ... 		  
  







  
  
Glorious Pipes: Organ Music Through the Ages3 reviews

Deutsche Grammophon, 2004

Glorious pipes
New as an organ fan ? No mistake with this double Cd set. Registration is amazing and sounds like pure cristal. A simple joy. B.A.C.H. from Liszt is great, and more great moments. Organists play perfectly. 		  
  







  
  
Mendelssohn: Elijah7 reviews
Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Felix Mendelssohn, ...

EMI Classics, 2005

Still the Best (in most ways)
I sang the Elijah in college more than five decades ago and can still sing along all the choruses from memory. During the time since I have listened to every major recorded release. When I first wrote this review several months ago, I was comparing my vinyl set, purchased when it was first released in the 1960's, with the recent Terfel/Daniel CD release. Since then I lost my vinyls in a fire ... 		  
  







  
  
Mendelssohn: Songs Without Words9 reviews
Felix Mendelssohn, Daniel Barenboim

Deutsche Grammophon, 1997

MENDELSSOHN'S 48
Bach's 48 preludes and fugues seem to me to be to some extent a diary of the composer's feelings, and I get much the same impression from Mendelssohn's Songs Without Words, which are also 48 in number. To me, they are beautiful and touching minor masterpieces and when I hear them I am not disturbed, or even visited, by the thought that they are not masterpieces to rank with Bach's. However I am ...

Baby Einstein: Playtime Music Box9 reviews
Ludwig van Beethoven, Georges Bizet, ...

Buena Vista, 2004

Simple Music
This is music for babies, or for children, the people at Baby Einstein understand that little ears have trouble discerning multiple sounds. If you had wanted a classical music CD those are already available. But your baby needs a simple CD with only 1 or 2 instruments. It's not about whether YOU like the CD, but whether your child likes it.

Deutsche Grammophon, 1997

Powerful Scottish + Other Things of Merit
BBC Radio 3 broadcasted the Scottish symphony earlier this year. At the time I was utterly unfamiliar with the work but even during that first exposure--for I was listening--I decided to update my collection as soon as possible. Which I did by buying this CD. (Later I also bought Peter Maag's interpretation of this symphony, but not because I was dissatisfied with the CD I now review. Far from ... 		  
  







  
  
Jacqueline du Pré - a lasting inspiration11 reviews
Antonin Dvorak, Franz Joseph Haydn, ...

EMI Classics, 1999

99% perspiration
(4.5/5 stars) This is a two-disc collection of musical works, in which the great cellist Jacqueline du Pre plays. The first disc consists of three cello concerti by three different composers: Dvorak (Romantic), Haydn (Classical) and Elgar (Romantic). Very good music, though it might leave you wondering what all the fuss is about. Not to worry: just pop in Disc Two to find out. The second disc ...
