O Holy Night / Luciano Pavarotti / Special Deluxe Edition (Decca)

Vittoriano Benvenuti, Hector Berlioz, ...

Decca, 2005

A very special Christmas album
My wife and I love Christmas music, but this album is in a class by itself. It is opera, classical music, Christmas carols, and the most heartfelt and expressive personal expression of religious feeling. It is exalted and joyous, and to my wife and me, inexpressively ...

Build Your Baby's Brain

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Sony, 1998

Wonderful stimulating music for baby
I am sorry for the previous review who said that intelligence is hereditary. If that is true, all mankind would have been doomed from the start. Intelligence is not hereditary, but rather a result of stimulation during infancy and birth. Sure, it isn't a guarantee ...

Pavarotti's Greatest Hits

Vincenzo Bellini, Georges Bizet, ...

Decca, 2007

Excellent Survey of Pavarotti's Work
For someone who is already a student of opera, this dual set will probably be somewhat redundant. However, if you are curious about opera in general or are unfamiliar with Pavarotti's recordings, this is an excellent anthology. I bought it as two cassettes some 20 ...

Baby Einstein: Traveling Melodies

Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, ...

Buena Vista, 2005

Saved My Sanity
My husband and I are musicians so I inwardly groaned when we were given this CD as a gift--I'd rather play the originals rather than some synthesized kiddie version. However, on a recent road trip we got desperate when our colicky son would not stop screaming. We ...

Joseph Stidel, Mstislav Rostropovich, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Oistrakh Jubilee
A violinist's violinist who was simultaneously adored by the general public. EMI presents in one compilation the entire recorded legacy of David Oistrakh. I simply wanted to list the works and co-performers in this collection. The recordings really do not need any ...

Baby Einstein: Lullaby Classics, Vol. 2

Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, ...

Buena Vista, 2006

Great CD for baby (and adults shhh)
This is great CD. We love Vol. 1 but it was getting a little over played so we bought Vol. 2. It's THE best thing for a car ride. Especially with a fussy baby who hates cars.

UltraSound - Music for the Unborn Child

Johannes Brahms, Frederic Chopin, ...

RCA, 1999

Soothing sounds for unborn baby
This product is wonderful and i would recommend it to anybody who is expecting a baby. It can be used also later on when the baby is born of course so it is a never-ending beautiful piece of music.

Beethoven's Wig, Vol. 2: More Sing-Along Symphonies

Beethoven's Wig

Rounder / Umgd, 2004

A must for Beethoven's Wig fans
There are just as many great sing alongs in this CD as in the first. Most of the tracks are very singable (the Brahms piece is difficult). Lots of fun and plenty of goofy lyrics.

Leon Fleisher: Two Hands

Johann Sebastian Bach, Frederic Chopin, ...

Artemis Classics, 2004

F leisher's triumphant return.
It is thrilling and soul-satisfying to hear Leon Fleisher's superb and sensitive playing of Bach, Scarlatti, Chopin, Debussy and Schubert after dystonia had prevented two-handed performances for more than 35 years. The Fleisher tapes of Beethoven's piano concertos ...

The World's Favorite Piano Music

Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, ...

RCA, 1992

My favorite CD!
Van Cliburn is a master pianist, and this CD is pure listening enjoyment. I generally am not into clasical music, but this is fun. His working fingers convince me that they are not working. They are dancing, and they are having great fun. WONDERFUL!!

Artur Rubinstein in Concert

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

Rubinstein in the indian summer of his career

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Franz Liszt, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

A Fond Farewell
For those familiar with Vladimir Horowitz's televised recital from Vienna a few weeks prior to this one, both the repertoire and the manner of performance will be similar. There are a few differences in details, which mainly spring from the differences between ...
