The Most Relaxing Classical Album In the World Ever, Volume II

Yehudi Menuhin, Jacqueline Du Pre, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Great music listein to while you read in bed
I have listened to this CD for the last several years before going to sleep at night. I love classical music, and this is great music to help make my soul feel at peace and unwind after a taxing day.

Choral Masterpieces

Telarc, 1990

Uncle Abe rattles the house with this thing
I came home from work one day when my uncle was visiting my wife and myself. He was recently retired from the ministry. He had heard a lot of choral music in his life. My aunt said he had the stereo ( power end of my stereo at the time was an Adcomm 555 amp. ...

25 Thunderous Classics

Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, ...

Vox (Classical), 2000

Good Music at a Great Price
I bought this CD mostly for "Entry of the Gladiators," which everyone will recognize as classic circus music. The performance on this CD (by Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops) is the best available version of Entry of the Gladiators. The rest of the CD offers ...

Sacred Songs

Johann Sebastian Bach, Hector Berlioz, ...

Decca, 2005

Outstanding
I had seen this program on PBS and wanted the CD. Wonderful selection of music and Renee Fleming's outstanding voice.

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 ...

Classics from the Crypt

Johann Sebastian Bach, Hector Berlioz, ...

RCA, 1992

Not Just For Halloween Season!
This is a great CD of classical music with a spooky flavor. It is of course perfect for the Halloween season but can be used to good effect any time of the year. Many of the pieces will be very familiar as they are commonly used in movie and television scores to ...

Fright Night: Music that Goes Bump in the Night

Johann Sebastian Bach, Hector Berlioz, ...

Sony, 1991

Good for Halloween Gatherings
If you're looking for a fun CD with spooky sounding music that reminds you of old Disney cartoons...I think that this CD was meant to be fun, NOT for the classical conisseur. It would be a nice CD for a Halloween gathering, or something similar, as background music.

Symphony (25) Favorites

Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, ...

Vox (Classical), 1997

A Grand symphonic adventure
This album provides a quick exposure to some of the best movements in the best symphonies. Many of the tracks will sound familiar. They are played well and have good sound quality. As a novice musician, i have great appreciation for it.

The Power & The Majesty: Essential Choral Classics

Robert Shaw Festival Singers, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Choruses

Telarc, 1995

Best of American Choral Singing!
This CD could be the cornerstone of your choral music library! Wonderful performances of all of the essential choral pieces give a wonderful introduction to choral music for someone new to it, and also give a nice sampler of the best pieces for someone already familiar ...

Symphonie Fantastique

Hector Berlioz, Riccardo Muti, ...

EMI Classics, 1999

Undoubtedly the best "Fantastique"
Even after hearing this symphony constantly growing up, I never once found myself notably drawn in by the music. While I liked to listen to it and was impressed by its historical significance, it never struck my fancy as anything other than background music. Sure, the ...

Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique [Hybrid SACD]

Hector Berlioz, Charles Münch, ...

RCA, 2006

The febrile incandescence!
The close relationship between Charles Munch and Hector Berlioz, was much more a happy coincidence. The narrow affinity aroused due the sumptuous and elegant baton of this Alsatian conductor, who always knew to depict a gallant and incandescent Berlioz, conferring an ...

Fiedler's Favorite Marches

Kenneth J. Alford, Edwin Eugene Bagley, ...

RCA, 1990

Great Marching Music
Even though I am a Yankee I still love "Dixie." This is great music for pre-school children and those just entering school. I think it helps build character. I like this album.

Itzhak Perlman - Greatest Hits ~ "Carmen" Fantasy · Havanaise · Poème · and more

Hector Berlioz, Ernest Chausson, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1993

A great violinist playing great music.
Itzhak Perlman demonstrates his mastery of the violin while playing Pablo de Saratate's 'Carmen Fantasy' on this CD.

Callas: Complete Studio Recordings

Joseph Rouleau, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

EMI Classics, 2007

Information
Of course this is a fabulous bargain, but there is also a lot to be said against it. Firstly, there's the issue of presentation. The 69 cds and 1 cd-rom do come in serviceable, light cardboard sleeves (and the cds do slip out, without needing to be prized out of ...

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 ...
