Dorian Recordings, 1997

The best at what they do!
I just got back from a Hamilton College performance of this group and was very impressed. Not only do they master the old but they write the new! Keeping to the style of those they play of course. Of all the CDs that they have made, this is their most famous and ...

100 Best Opera Classics

Andreas Schmidt, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, ...

Emd Int'l, 2007

Amazing Value
I am so impressed by this collection that I must share my joy at getting so many beautiful arias, duets, et al in one collection. It captures many of the great operatic voices in stellar performances spanning the last 50 years. If you are enchanted by beautiful ...

Reimagine

Greg / Roe, Elizabeth Joy Anderson, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Anderson & Roe, 2008

Anderson and Roe Reimagine
Having watched their videos on You Tube I couldn't wait for these disks to appear. These two are fantastic entertainers and brilliant keyboard artists. It's so refreshing to meet new young artists of this calibre and to be amazed by their technical wizardry. Who wants ...

From the Isles to the Courts

Alfonso X (el Sabio), Elizabeth-Claude Jacquet de la Guerre, ...

Telarc, 2001

From The Isles To The Courts
\ It's very exciting to follow a group of musicians on their journey together, especially when that journey is made with heart, with fire, and with honor to tradition. Original tunes make easy friends with the traditional on this must-have CD. Love the Scollay's ...

Traditional & Modern Carols

Theatre of Voices, Hillier

Hmf Classical Exp., 2002

Wonderful
Paul Hillier, having lived in the U.S. for several years, developed a love for early American music, which shows in his release of the 2-volume "Early American Choral Music." This love continues in "Traditional and Modern Carols," a Christmas CD which includes several ...

Bach for Relaxation

Elizabeth Anderson, Moray Welsh, ...

RCA, 1998

Peaceful and Beautiful
I have purchased this CD twice, first for myself to listen to during labor and secondly for a friend who has a new, very stressful job. I love the music on this CD, it is wonderfully played and listening it to it during labor was very helpful and uplifting. Now both ...

Welcome Christmas: Carols and Lullabies From Around the World

Philip Brunelle, VocalEssence Ensemble Singers

Clarion, 2004

Diversity in Christmas Traditions
It is getting more difficult each Christmas Season to find discs that offer Christmas choral music that is infused with a sense of "rootedness" borne out of time-hewn tradition and at the same time compliments--rather than rehashes--the existing repertoire of age-old ...

Osvaldo Golijov: Oceana

Osvaldo Golijov, Robert Spano, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2007

Anyone notice the cover image?
If you're curious, the cover image for this DG release is recycled from Bill Evans and Jim Hall's 1962 'Undercurrent' album.

Schoenberg: Moses und Aron

Arnold Schoenberg, Georg Solti, ...

Decca, 2007

... and sometimes it's a good idea to play Brahms like it was written by Schoenberg
It's nice to have this back in print. Honestly any recording of this unique opera--any that involves a major orchestra, soloists, and conductor--should be an event and a no-brainer acquisition for Schoenberg buffs. I think the interesting story here may be not Solti ...

Howard Hanson: Concerto for Organ, Harp & String Orchestra; Nymphs & Satyr Ballet Suite; etc.

Theodore Sipes, Elizabeth Anderson, ...

Albany Records, 2006

Lesser heard Hanson pieces
If you love Howard Hanson, you will love these lesser heard works. Always up to the highest Hanson standards, each piece uses a different vehicle and different approaches to its subject. Yet each is unmistakably Hanson.

Arthur Sullivan: Ivanhoe

Bruce Graham, David Blackwood, ...

Pearl, 1993

Wonderfully fine performance
This is one opera I have been searching for for a very long time. I read about it in a book about Sullivan. Of course, when they wrote of the opera, they showed the scene, in drawing, where Rebecca informs Ivanhoe of the battle with the Black Knight. The drawing (based ...

Christmas at Spivey Hall

Philips, 2005

A Compendium of Classic Marches
The performances contained herein are very good. I only wish there were more Sousa marches in the collection. However, those that are there are well-performed and the recording is very good.

Masters of the Voice: Soprano

Armando Gabba, George London, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2004

A real winner with plenty of talent.
This 2-CD selection from Deutsche Grammophon, "Masters of the Voce, Soprano" follows a review we did earlier on the "Masters" series for tenors in which we rated the tenor package a success. This offering succeeds on multiple levels as well and proves to be an equally ...
