Arcangelo Corelli

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 ...

The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe

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.

Christmas Album: Original Masters

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Hermann Prey, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2003

Great music and an astonishing amount of it!
The business folks at DG must have a soft spot for Christmas music, probably leftover goodwill from growing up with caroling in the snow. Certainly the German language nations seem to have excelled in producing a wealth of Christmas tunes, jingles, chorales, hymns, and ...

40 Most Beautiful Christmas Classics

Adolphe Adam, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Rhino / Wea, 2007

a voice teacher and early music fan
QUALITY AND QUANTITY COMBINE IN THIS VERY FINE COMPILATION! This is indeed one of the most tasty group of Christmas songs that I have come across in my many years of listening. It leans toward sacred, but there are tunes such 'White Christmas' sung beautifully by ...

The Baroque Christmas Album

Johann Sebastian Bach, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, ...

Archiv Produktion, 2005

5-PLUS Stars
There are not many things in life that I would describe as just Gorgeous -- but this album is definitely one of them. The selections, the arrangements, the production quality, all are clean, yet lush -- simultaneously light and rich. The effect is wonderful. This ...

The Christmas I Love

Andre Rieu, Johann Strauss Orchestra

Philips, 1997

A Christmas Collection That Is Just Plain Fun
Sometimes I think the only person who is happy that Public television is financially challenged, other that certain legislators who believe that it is too liberal and the culmination of all that is evil, is Andre Rieu. Now don't get me wrong, this happy Dutch musician ...

Baroque at Bathtime: A Relaxing Serenade to Wash Your Cares Away

Johann Sebastian Bach, Domenico Cimarosa, ...

Philips, 1995

stress free
The CD came quickly and was well packaged. The music is beautiful and very relaxing. I used it to listen to as I drifted off to sleep.

Ultimate Classical Christmas Album of All Time

Ultimate Classical Christmas Record of All Time

Sony, 2002

Breathtakingly beautiful!
Over and over we played "Die Menge der Engel" - - it is stunningly beautiful! The loftiness of the voices, wonderful. We loved the boys/children's choruses on many of the other pieces on the album. Duets by Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavorati - - magnifico! It ...

Famous Classical Trumpet Concertos

Tomaso Albinoni, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Philips, 2000

The Best Trumpeter in the Business
It's a rare treat for a reviewer when he can throw caution to the winds and go out on a limb for a musician. This is such an occasion for me. Hakan Hardenberger is a phenomenon. I think he is the Babe Ruth, the Wayne Gretzky, the Michael Jordan, the Vladimir ...

25 Romantic Classics

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

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 ...

Christmas Organ Music

Johann Michael Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Nimbus Records, 2007

And to all, a good night of music
Soon it will be the time for shops to be setting out their Christmas items, for while Christmas comes but once a year, in fact people are working toward it all year long. The same is true for composers and musical performers. I found it amusing to learn that this ...

Essential Baroque

Essential Baroque

Decca, 2002

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 ...

25 Baroque Favorites

Tomaso Albinoni, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

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 ...

Classic Thanksgiving Songs of Praise

Arcangelo Corelli, Giovanni Gabrieli, ...

Naxos, 2000

Setting the mood.
This is a great collection of fall/harvest/thanksgiving hymnes. I enjoyed listening to it and getting in the Thanksgiving mood.

The Ultimate Recorder Collection

Malcolm Arnold, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

RCA, 1999

More than the sum of the parts.
I bought this as wallpaper music - and got a very pleasant surprise! Several of the pieces stopped me in my tracks, made me sit down and forced me to listen. Michala Petri demonstrates a masterly control of her instrument and a high level of musicianship in a wide ...
