Elegant is as elegant does!
This the review that I wrote for OperaOnline.us: There is only one word to describe this compilation of varied works by soprano Kiri Te Kinawa: Elegant! From the cover to the selection of songs inside, to the way each selection contributes to and results in a perfect ...

A Romantic Songbook

Carl Loewe, Felix Mendelssohn, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2004

Quasthoff's best release to date
I may just be a sucker for these songs, but I really think this is the best solo recording Quasthoff has made so far: some of his other recordings suffer from an improper balance between piano and voice (like his WINTERREISE or SCHWANENGESANG), but here, Justus ...

John Charles Thomas, Lawrence Tibbett, ...

Nimbus Records, 1994

The best Christmas album in years
Hard-boiled stereo audiophiles may be scared off from this beautiful collection of Christmas-related songs and dramatic readings when they learn that they were recorded in mono sound between 1915 and 1942. But if they bypass this collection,they will cheat themselves ...

Very rapid turn around. Item received in brand new shape and gave top satisfaction

Chopin and Loewe Piano Concertos [DSD Recorded] [Stereo/Multichannel]

Frederic Chopin, Carl Loewe, ...

Pentatone, 2003

Interesting Coupling!
I wasn't referring to the collaboration between husband and wife team, rather a most unusual coupling of Chopin's Piano Concerto No.2 with Carl Loewe's Piano Concerto, also No.2. Johann Carl Gottfried Löwe (or Loewe in English), was a German composer, baritone ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

Excerpts from Previous Recordings Make a Fine Portrait of an Artist
Thomas Quasthoff has performed throughout the world in a repertoire so varied that his talents appear endless. This very fine recording is part of the DGG Portrait of an Artist Series and while there is little new work here, this is a compilation of many of the ...

Famous German Marches

Sebastian Ertl, Ludwig Gruber, ...

Premium Music Coll., 1998

For the lover of marches.
Although this might not have the depth of sound that some wish, it is still an excellent collection of marches of this kind for the price.

Andrew Marriner, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Pentatone, 2005

To My Friends

Johannes Brahms, Edvard Grieg, ...

Decca, 2006

Quite wonderful - great beauty
I am grateful for the artist's decision to make this record even if it was done very late in her career. In fact is was to be her last studio recording, and she knew that. It really is a gift to her friends and admirers. The songs are carefully chosen to fit her voice ...

Thomas Hampson Sings Schumann & Beethoven

Thomas Hampson, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

EMI Classics Imports, 1994

A great live Lieder recital from 1993
Why isn't anyone listening to this CD, not even a random Amazon reviewer? Two of the highlights are familiar complete song cycles--Schumann's Dichterliebe and Beethoven's An die ferne Geliebte. Hampson's performances are superb, a model of passionate, communicative ...
