Excellent Baroque Collection
As I have stated in many of my previous reviews, I am a huge fan of the Sony Essential Classics (SEC) budget series. Most of the recordings feature classic and often definitive performances featuring the likes of George Szell, Leonard Bernstein, Robert Casadesus, Isaac Stern and Rudolf Serkin among others. Here we get a variety of orchestras and conductors including big names like Jean-Claude ...

Ceremonial Music for Trumpet & Symphonic Organ

Telarc, 1993

A ceremony in sound
This is a beautifully performed CD of ceremonial music of the Christian tradition. While organist Michael Murray talks about the diversity of kinds of ceremonial music in the liner notes essay, the musical selection here is drawn from the Western Christian tradition with few exceptions. Sometimes the music did not start out as ceremonial in nature - Murray points out that the 'Incidental ...

SUPERB
An introduction to the best baroque music by famous composers. Great sound on this CD. There are over 10 CD's in this Farorites collection, and this by far is one of the best ones. If you like the classical sounds of music, then you will like this. Check out the samples on this page that they provide, that's the best way to review.

Classical Music for People Who Hate Classical Music

Compendia, 1994

Exactly what I wanted
It's probably too much to say that this collection is for those who "hate" classical music. But I think it's safe to say that it is for people who are not serious aficionados. It provides classical tunes that most of us have heard but don't necessarily know the names of and presents them in a very palatable way. A diverse array of composers is represented and there is something here for just ...

The Best of Both
This album really lets Severinson shine. I always felt he was underchallenged on the Tonight Show. And Kunzel is at his best here, too. If you like Doc and Erik, also give a listen to Big Band Hit Parade.

High-quality, marvelously varied intro to baroque music
I am buying this as the perfect gift for Russian and Chinese scientist friends. They have knowledge of classical music but perhaps not much about baroque music, which achieved special popularity in the U.S. during the 1970's and 1980's. Russians seem to have more familiarity with romantic classical music, while the more recently arrived Asian classical buffs have special affinity to the ...

Classic Wynton

amazing
Classic Wynton is the most glorious display of musicianship I have ever heard. No other trumpet player even comes close to Wynton. Don't listen to anything the editorial review says though, it must have been written by a complete ignoramus. Wynton Marsalis not having a clear or recognizable tone? Please...That's like saying Kobe Bryant isn't a good shooter. I can't believe that garbage is on a ...

Re-living my wedding music . . . ? Priceless!
Listening to the Lumiere String Quartet's "Classical Wedding Music," I was alternately squealing with delight ("this was played at MY wedding!") and shedding tears of joy ("this was played at MY wedding!"). Lumiere has done a masterful job of translating these classic pieces to the quartet form. The sound is rich and full. Yes, it works if you're listening for wedding music, but what makes the ...

GREAT WORK MUSIC
Great work music, great travel music. Wonderful upbeat and get-you-going music for all things you do. Even NAXOS brand CDs don't come close to matching the preformances on this disc. Like the Masterpeice Theater theme song? Brandenburg Concerto by Bach is done PEFECTLY on this album. All songs are absolutely brilliant and masterfully done. This is a MUST HAVE CD no matter what kind of music ...

We had an outdoor wedding and used this CD, along with one other CD (The Knot Collection), for our music selections. Between the two CDs - we had all of our pre-wedding music and our processionals covered. It has a nice selection of various, popular choices for modern and classic weddings.

A must have in your music library
I had ordered this cd on the recommendation of the musical director from my Church who has quite an extensive international background. I mistakenly thought I would just use it to pick out songs for the ceremony portion of my wedding. It turns out it has so many classical songs from Bach and many other artists. I listen to it often because the music is so beautiful. I recommend it to anyone ...

Angel Records, 2006

Good and inexpensive collection
EMI's Best Classics 100 provides six CDs with seven hours of selected classical music. The cover does a poor job of portraying who does the selecting and who performs the piece -- information inside however does detail the symphonies being recorded. Recordings from the Polish Chamber, Berlin Symphonies, Royal Philharmonic etc are mentioned. The recording quality is good and the price is low, ...

When they say Ultimate, they mean it!
This album really is great. As of writing the review I haven't gotten married yet, but I am definetly using it in my June wedding. It has all of the classics that we always associate with weddings and only weddings ("Bridal Chorus" for the bridal processional, "Wedding March" for a recessional, etc.) PLUS plenty of other music for the wedding party processional, unity candle lighting, prelude ...

Most Chosen Selections
As a wedding officiant, my wife and I are often asked to assist the couple with other services for their ceremony, such as music. For this, we have a very large selection in our music library to choose from. We have put together a catalog of cd's that we loan out to the couple for their review, and most often, their selections come from BRIDE'S GUIDE TO WEDDING MUSIC. If you're planning a ...

"Best Harpsichord Recording"
I have always loved the sound of the Harpsichord and for many years hearing poorly recorded or played Harpsichord this treasure is a must have. From the fine compositions to the good sound quality this CD is definately a keeper. Plenty of music for a moderate price as well.
