Prayerful and beautiful
It is a refreshing change to have a collection of arias on a CD with a title that actually bears some relevance to the contents. This is indeed a prayerful collection. That means, of course, that you have to be in the appropriately contemplative mood in order to ...

Christmas With the Trapp Family Singers

The Trapp Family

Deutsche Grammophon, 2004

A new musical Christmas tradition
This recording was my first experience with the Trapp Family Singers (other than knowing the story from The Sound of Music). I cannot state how pleasently surprised I was. First of all, the technical quality of the recording is extraordinary. The selections were ...

Kathleen Battle at Carnegie Hall

Anonymous, Gustave Charpentier, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1992

I'd give this CD 20 stars if I could! Sheer perfection!
God made the nightingale, and somewhere down the line, he touched a little girl named Kathleen Battle with what he originally gave to that bird from the beginning of creation. I cannot, for the life of me, believe that a voice could be so beautiful. I hear it, I ...

The Vienna I Love, Waltzes From My Heart

Rossini, J. Strauss, ...

Philips, 1997

Excellent choice
I am really a rock music fan but I enjoy this version of light classical music. It may not be for the serious classical music enthusiast, but it is still considered excellent light entertainment. What a way to introduce classical music to a wider audience!

Fabulous
This DVD is spectacular. Andre Rieu is absolutely fascinating to listen to and the costumes of the orchestra as gorgeous. Well worth every penny.

Brainy Music: Cheerful Baby

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Brainy Baby, 2003

Real music not synthesized
We checked this out from our library and my son really seems to respond to it. We like it better than Baby Einstein because it is real music not synthesized although I think my son likes the Baby Einstein as well.

This album is excellent! Three tubas and a euphonium. I especially love it for the beautiful Christmas half, tracks 18 thru 35. (It's not a new album, it's just the same album wrongly listed here as out of stock, under the title "Mighty Tubadours" [without the "The"] ...

Sony, 2005

Excellent Music Collection
I purchased this CD on iTunes and I love it. Martha's CD collection is very tasteful and the music is great background music. I'm not a big fan of Christmas music sung by pop stars, and so I avoid most modern releases, but this CD is all classical. Particularly love ...
