Edward Elgar, Luigi Boccherini, ...

EMI Classics, 1990

Wonderful Collection
This is a wonderful collection of Jacqueline du Pre's work, both because it traces her development as an artist, her unique interaction with various conductors and her interpretations of a variety of composers. Jacueline du Pre is a cellist for all time.

Johann Sebastian Bach, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Denon Records, 2005

Elgar: Pomp & Circumstance Marches; Enigma Variations; Cockaigne Overture

Edward Elgar, Adrian Boult, ...

EMI / Seraphim, 1995

Noble Elgar, unbelievable price
This is not some schlock budget disc, which the price might suggest. Boult was one of the great Elgar interpretors (Barbirolli too) and these performances, especially the inspired Enigma Variations, bring out the very soul of Elgar. Sound quality, by the way, is ...

Angel Records, 1999

A to Z of Classical Music

Ernst Ottensamer, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Naxos, 2000

Great Tracks -- Great Value -- Great Book, Who Can Complain?
Naxos is a fabulous label -- you will not get samples of the best classical music through the ages at no better price. These tracks are as good as any of the over-priced major orchestras and in some cases better. This is a great starter set for a beginner or anyone ...

Elgar: Cello Concerto; "Enigma" Variations

Jacqueline du Pré, Edward Elgar, ...

Sony, 2005

All good- Elgar the way it should be played.
All good. Elgar the way it should be played- plenty of emotion. Late romanticism should be played from the heart- almost to the extreme of 'haming it up'. The tears will roll, the joy of laughter is obvious- its fantastic. I wish today's performers were brave enough to ...

Jacqueline du Pré - a lasting inspiration

Antonin Dvorak, Franz Joseph Haydn, ...

EMI Classics, 1999

99% perspiration
(4.5/5 stars) This is a two-disc collection of musical works, in which the great cellist Jacqueline du Pre plays. The first disc consists of three cello concerti by three different composers: Dvorak (Romantic), Haydn (Classical) and Elgar (Romantic). Very good music, ...

The Opera Band

Georges Bizet, Antonin Dvorak, ...

RCA Victor, 2004

Definitive
Beautiful! Even friends who've never cared for opera love this one. A tonic at the end of a grueling day, a weekend afternoon introspective, a late-night lead-in to a flight of dreams ... a whisper of angels.

Cello Adagios

Heinrich Schiff, Janos Starker, ...

Decca, 2004

really like it
This is the first classical cd I have ever bought. The two-disc album was a great price. I really love the performance of Lynn Harrell. I like the collection of Adagios because they are perfect to fall asleep to or study to.

Itzhak Perlman's Greatest Hits, Vol. 2

Paul Ben-Haim, Edward Elgar, ...

EMI Classics, 2000

The best violinist ever!
All I can say to this CD is it's the best I've ever heard. In this CD, Itzhak Perlman truly demonstrates his best performances of the past years. I have always been a great admirer of Perlman, but since I own this CD, it's all I've listened to for the past three ...

Ultimate Violin Classics: The Essential Masterpieces

Isaac Albeniz, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Decca, 2007

Superb
This is an excellent value. Four of the greatest violinists in history captured in some of their best repertoire. The first CD is devoted to Ruggiero Ricci. He plays stunning versions of the Mendelssohn and Bruch No. 1 Concerti. It is an early stereo recording from ...

Best Romantic Classics 100

Han-Na Chang, Jacqueline du Pré, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Soothes the Soul
Two weeks ago, I was sitting in a bookstore when the strains of music came over the sound system and distracted me from my reading several times. But this distraction wasn't Johnny Paycheck's "Take This Job and Shove It" (vile), "The Streak," or "Honey, I Miss You." ...

Violin for Relaxation

Johann Sebastian Bach, Claude Debussy, ...

RCA, 2000

Everything remembered and wanted on strings
To me, it is an extraordinary combination demonstarting the old world beauty and timeless artistry of the violin. It will take you back to everything good remembered, and forward to everything good ahead of us.
