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

Denon Records, 2004

sooth for both unborn and newborn babies.

Chopin: Favorite Piano Works

14 reviews
Frederic Chopin, Vladimir Ashkenazy

Decca, 1996

Why are you waiting?
Ashkenazy is one of the titans of Chopin. Davidovich and Arrau are the other two. They're all you need. Get Davidovich for the concertos, (inlcuding the Krakowiak--Op 14), Arrau for the nocturnes and a few micscellaneous pieces. Ashkenazy handles everything else. (Btw, Ashkenazy vs. Davidovich re. the impromptus is a toss up. But since the impromptus aren't on this disc, you can make that ...

Mozart: Piano Sonatas

15 reviews
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Christoph Eschenbach

Deutsche Grammophon, 1999

Mozart, pure & simple
This is my favorite set of Mozart piano sonatas, next to the Mitsuko Uchida collection from Philips. Eschenbach's performance is unadorned by needless trivialities, revealing a deep reverence for Mozart' score. Instead of taking liberties with the music, Eschenbach provides a pleasurable listening experience that can be relied upon again & again. Both his playing & the DG sound are impeccable, ...

Bach Edition: Complete Works (155 CD Box Set)

54 reviews
Johann Sebastian Bach, Andrew Manze, ...

Brilliant Classics, 2006

Wonderful, wonderful music
Even though I have a lot of other Bach records, this is different, like being in the ocean. What a joy. Buy it; it's unbelievable. The organ works, violin and harpsichord material, and most concertos and orchestral works, have NOTHING wrong with them per se; if you are already in love with someone else's performance then no other player will please you. There are isolated twangy items, but ...

Grieg: Lyric Pieces / Emil Gilels

22 reviews
Edvard Grieg, Emil Gilels

Deutsche Grammophon, 1997

Superb historical achievement!
Emil Gilels temperament has always been at least to my mind extremely cold and even analytical. His powerful phrasing is first rate, who can deny it? . However, he recorded for the posterity two emblematic works; this album and Brahms Piano Quartet Op. 25 with Amadeus Quartet(see my review). Gilels was at top form that historical evening with these Grieg pieces. This miniaurist composer ...

Lorraine at Emmanuel

Orch. of Emmanuel Music, Lorraine Hunt Lieberson

Avie, 2008

Their Artistry Is Their Legacy
As a Boston resident from 1985-1994, I attended numerous Emmanuel Music events ranging from the Sellars production of Handel's "Giulio Cesare" (brought to Boston by Sarah Caldwell & the Opera Company of Boston) to several of the weekly Bach Cantatas that they performed Sundays at the Emmanuel Church services. I even returned to Boston once to specifically hear the ensemble's performance of ...

Simply Baroque

8 reviews
Yo-Yo Ma, Johann Christoph Bach, ...

Sony, 2003

YO YO MA'S SIMPLY BAROQUE IS SIMPLY...WONDERFUL !
The Baroque Period in Europe originated in the early 17th century and reached it's peak in the early 18th century. The English word "baroque" is translated from the Italian "barocco", meaning "bizarre". "Passionate" is probably more like it. Johann Sebastian Bach is the most celebrated of the Baroque composers, although George Frederick Handel and Antonio Vivaldi are also famous for their Baroque ...

O Holy Night / Luciano Pavarotti / Special Deluxe Edition (Decca)

13 reviews
Vittoriano Benvenuti, Hector Berlioz, ...

Decca, 2005

A very special Christmas album
My wife and I love Christmas music, but this album is in a class by itself. It is opera, classical music, Christmas carols, and the most heartfelt and expressive personal expression of religious feeling. It is exalted and joyous, and to my wife and me, inexpressively beautiful. We're listening to "O Holy Night" as I type this on Christmas Eve, as we've listened to this album since its release, ...

Bartok: Complete Solo Piano Music

8 reviews
Bela Bartok, György Sándor

Vox (Classical), 2003

Best classical value out there
To put this set in perspective, for months I would go to my local Tower Records fishing for worthwhile classical CDs at least once a week. One of the discs that sat in the bins the longest was a single CD of Bartok piano music, played by Zoltan Kocsis. It was Volume 7 of a complete series. This CD listed for $17.99, and as long as I went to that Tower Records, it did not budge an inch, nor was ...

Classical Music for Children: A Toddler's Introduction to Classical Music

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

Ent. Media Partners, 1997

He started dancing as soon as we put it on!
My 12 month old loves this CD and happily bops away to the music (in the car he sometimes even starts singing!). We like it too and not being very well versed in Classical music, it is a nice mix for us.

Spanish Guitar Music

8 reviews
Isaac Albeniz, Mateo Albeniz, ...

Sony, 2002

Excellent Introduction to Spanish Classical Guitar Music
As a sampler, this CD is an excellent introduction both to Spanish classical guitar music and to guitarist John Williams. The music ranges from Renaissance composers (Sanz, Mudarra) and harmonized folk melodies to standard 20th Century works (Rodrigo, Torroba etc). John Williams is excellent throughout. The CD is also cheap, and can be used either just for enjoyment, or further to explore ...

Baby Einstein: Lullaby Classics, Vol. 2

7 reviews
Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, ...

Buena Vista, 2006

Great CD for baby (and adults shhh)
This is great CD. We love Vol. 1 but it was getting a little over played so we bought Vol. 2. It's THE best thing for a car ride. Especially with a fussy baby who hates cars.

J.S. Bach: Toccata, Partita, English Suite 2/ Martha Argerich

23 reviews
Johann Sebastian Bach, Martha Argerich

Deutsche Grammophon, 2000

INEFFABLE!
Do you like Glenn Gould's Bach? So listen to what Martha can do baby... Ms. Argerich, you rule!

25 Bach Favorites

12 reviews
Hildegard Rutgers, Erich Wenk, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Bach
Surely you don't need me to review the guy. You know who he is, you've heard his music, and I hope you own some. So let me turn the podium over to a cat named Picasso, and you can read into that whatever you wish. She's in a chair, near the CD player. She has entered the room specifically for the music. Her eyes are squinted, almost but not quite shut, little face concentrating on just how ...
