Giulio Caccini

Deutsche Harmonia Mundi: 50 Years (1958-2008)

Frans Huijts, Gordon Jones, ...

Deutsche Harm Mundi, 2008

Get it while you can...
Deals like this don't come around often and don't last. I collected a few of these recordings over the years when they were first released, so when I saw this set come up for sale I ordered immediately. Here's what you get: CD 1 ASTORGA - Stabat Mater ...

Sacred Arias [Special Edition with Bonus DVD]

Andrea Bocelli, Giulio Caccini, ...

Philips, 2003

A spiritual experience
The DVD is the full 77 minute concert with two featurettes previously released alone. The CD is the full 72 minute concert previously released alone, except that two bonus tracks have been added. The audio quality of each one is quite good. (If you have a Dolby ...

New Dawn

Johann Sebastian Bach, Giulio Caccini, ...

Emi Classics, 2008

A Real New Dawn
The latest Libera CD to add to my collection, "New Dawn," is slightly different than previous Libera CDs, in my opinion. This does not diminish the quality and artistry of the music in this CD in any way. Among the classic Libera style tracks are two tracks that one ...

Cecilia Bartoli - Live in Italy / Jean-Yves Thibaudet

George Frideric Handel, Antonio Vivaldi, ...

Decca, 1998

Exquisite
"Her natural command of messa di voce phrasing, willingness to shade the voice away to the quietest pianissimo and acute sensitivity to the words of Caccini's love songs proved irresistible, attracting a generous mix of applause and foot stamping." Such was the ...

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.

Voice of an Angel

Giulio Caccini, Dilys Elwyn Edwards, ...

Sony, 1999

The Best from Charlotte Church that You Will Ever Hear!
This CD is simply amazing! I can honestly tell you that this is the best from Charlotte Church that you will ever hear! Her voice in this stage in her career is so mezmerizing and well-trained! Soon after her second album, which was self-titled, her voice began to ...

Andrea Bocelli - Sacred Arias / Myung-Whun Chung

George Frideric Handel, Giulio Caccini, ...

Philips, 1999

Beautiful music
This is my second copy of this CD, I burned the first one out!! Andrea Bocelli has a very gorgeous voice that is a gift from above. His voice is not affected or braggadoccio but naturally magnificent. I could and do start my day listening to this spiritually uplifting ...

Cello Moods
Julian Lloyd Webber, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Philips, 1999

Cecilia Bartoli - If You Love Me (Se tu m'ami ), 18th-Century Italian Songs

Alessandro Scarlatti, Antonio Cesti, ...

Decca, 1992

Cecilia Bartoli at her best.
A great singer is one who dedicates singing to the text itself instead to himself/herself. This is achieved 100% by Ms. Bartoli in this earlier album of hers. The recordings here cannot be termed otherwise than 'immaculate'. The very opening song 'Gia sole dal gange' ...

Odyssey

Giulio Caccini, Aldo Caporuscio, ...

Decca, 2005

Great voice, great songs
She truly does a beautiful job singing Enya's "May it Be" from LOTR. Another favorite of mine on this album is "Dell'Amore Non Si Sa", a duet with Andrea Bocelli. Need I say more? You'll enjoy this album.

Heavenly Adagios

Jascha Silberstein, Julian Lloyd Webber, ...

Decca, 2003

Two and a half hours of divine music...what more can I say?
Well, a lot! And since no one else has taken the trouble to review my favorite Adagios collection, I'm just gonna hafta go an' do it myself, won't I? Starting with the stunningly gorgeous 'Jesu, joy of man's desiring' by Bach, this tape reels you in instantly. I'm ...

The Best of Andreas Scholl

Giulio Caccini, John Dowland, ...

Decca, 2006

The Best In The Modern World
Without exaggeration and without argument, Andreas Scholl is the most outstanding countertenor of our modern time, which has seen an astonishing revival in this voice type. His voice quality is unquestionably masculine, astonishingly high, incredibly powerful, flexible ...

A Soprano Inspired

Stephen Adams, May H. Brahe, ...

Conifer, 1998

A must have for anyone who enjoys a gorgeous soprano voice!
Ms. Garrett has a beautiful voice and extroardinary talent! Her variation of technicality in her music makes every song different..something to listen for. Her selection will inspire you...I believe the title of this CD is very well named. Ms. Garrett has great talent ...

Firenze 1616
Domenico Belli, Giulio Caccini, ...

Alpha Productions, 2008

This record delves into the ideology and the aesthetics of the early baroque to reveal a subtle and brotherly alliance between intellect and feeling. As a fitting prelude to Domenico Belli's Orfeo Dolente , created in 1616, Vincent Dumestre chose various airs of Florentine masters of the Seconda Prattica.

Sumi Jo - Prayers / James Conlon

Gioachino Rossini, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

Erato, 2001

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 ...
