Anthology

Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, ...

Sony, 2001

Exquisitely good music!
Didn't expect an outstanding cd, don't know exactly why i got it,maybe because of yo yo and bela, but every piece is played beautifully, even the vocal piece by James Taylor. The album is almost too good to be called Heartland, every piece is a class act. Bravo!

Excellent product..one of the standard anthologies available for studying Music History. One caveat, if you're using Hanning's Concise Grout as a companion text, be sure to match the correct edition of the anthology + recordings to the correct edition of the text.

Andersen's Fairy Tales 2CD

Hans Christian Andersen

Naxos Audiobooks, 1994

Great stories, nicely read, but volume way too low
This 2CD set contains some of Andersen's best fairy tales, from Emperor's Clothes (how did the guy come up with such a fabulous satire?) to the sad Little Match Girl (it always drives me to tears). It's well read by an English voice actress. The longer stories are ...

Norton Recorded Anthology of Western Music, Fifth Edition, Volume 1: Ancient to Baroque (6 CDs)

W. W. Norton, 2005

The Standard
If you're a music student at almost any major school (I just finished my undergraduate at Indiana University, for example) you'll most likely need to take a course that uses these CD's as part of its history survey. For that purpose, this set is an excellent ...

The Hugo Masters: An Anthology of Chinese Classical Music, Vol. 2 - Plucked Strings

Zhiming Han, Yan-jun Hua, ...

Celestial Harmonies, 1992

Excellent Tones and Vibrant Timbre
The music is very touching and moves the soul as the listener ponders, reminisces over the compositions and their titles which some are very graphical and radical to some extent. For instants track one titled "Ambush" played by a pi-pa (Chinese pear shape lute with ...

How Low Can You Go: Anthology of the String Bass (1925-1941)

Various Artists

Dust to Digital, 2006

A Bass Player's Dream
Wow! What an excellent historical overview of the string bass-an instrument that doesn't always get the attention it deserves. This anthology is a wonderful resource for my course about the jazz masters of the bass. Bravo!!

Copyright
The compiler of this series always makes great efforts to track down the copyright holders. Rather than leave off tracks for which he can't find the holder they are included in the "interests of art and music history". The text with the CD explains this, and invites ...

Silvestre Revueltas: Centennial Anthology 1899-1999

Silvestre Revueltas, David Atherton, ...

RCA, 1999

A Compendium of Revueltas Works
Unlike many people I think, I've been a fan of Revueltas since I was quite young...I first heard Sensemaya at the age of 12 and was blown away. Unfortunately, for years most of his music was rather hard to find...darn near impossible actually. However, the composer has ...
