Janos Starker, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Decca, 2000

Exquisite Essential Bach
Value and exquisite sampler of Bach on two CD's at an affordable price. Recorded by the likes primarily of Academy of the St. Martin-in-the-fields, Chicago Sympony, Boston Symphony, English Chamber Orchestra and with virtuoso performers as William Bennett, Heinz ...

Baroque Adagios

Janos Starker, Julian Lloyd Webber, ...

Decca, 2002

Why is this beautiful set so low in Amazon sales?
While classical music is achieving a resurgence in the UK and Finland, in the U.S. the meager proportion of classical music among record store and department offerings still reflects classical's waning status. What we do find even in drugstores and supermarkets is ...

Cello for Relaxation

Saint-Saëns, Bruch, ...

RCA, 2001

A Fine Way To Relax
Currently I'm enjoying this cello music while in the car, as it lessens the stress of traffic. It contains a variety of cello pieces that have beauty and grace. As a cellist I appreciate the supurb execution of each piece. This CD is everything I hoped it would be.

Starker plays Kodaly

Janos Starker, Hans Bottermund, ...

Delos Records, 1992

Definitely...
Starker's rendering is the greatest recorded performance of Kodaly's masterwork. You either know that or you should know that. If I live to see the piece or its performance rivaled, I'll be a lucky man. Buy it now, and for God's sake forget Yo-yo's recording...

Brahms at Bedtime: A Sleepytime Serenade

Janos Starker, Julian Lloyd Webber, ...

Philips, 1996

A good choice for quiet time and nap.
This is one of my favorite nap and quiet time choices. It is very mellow and soothing. My three year old frequently falls asleep listening to it, and even turns it on again for herself if she wakes up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep!

Bach at Bedtime: Lullabies for the Still of the Night

Andreas Greger, Janos Starker, ...

Philips, 1995

Mellow, Sleepy, Wonderful
I bought this CD for myself, a 60 year old. I have trouble sleeping and have been buying CDs by this company. They are all wonderful. I'm asleep in about 15 minutes!

The Ultimate Most Relaxing Classics for Kids in the Universe

Janos Starker, Leroy Anderson, ...

Denon Records, 2007

Great CD of Music!!!!!
My five year old son loves this CD!!!!! I think its great,I listen to it too.

Beethoven: The Complete Piano Sonatas & Concertos

Claudio Arrau, Janos Starker, ...

Philips, 1999

Magisterial... mystical
I've been listening to Beethoven's sonatas for fifty years and have heard all of them by some, and some of them by all the available recorded performers. Overall, Claudio Arrau is my favorite interpreter of the sonatas. To me he has an inner affinity with Beethoven ...

BRAHMS: Edition - Complete Works

Bo Skovhus, Gunther Leib, ...

Brilliant Classics, 2008

Definitely a COMPLETE EDITION!
A wonderful CD collection indeed! I have bought all of the Brilliant Classics Complete Collections and have not been upset with any set. The only thing I didn't like about this set (and only because I can compare with my others), the information was on the outside ...

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.

Bach: Suites for Solo Cello

Janos Starker, Johann Sebastian Bach

RCA, 1997

Full of Life
I don't know much about who's who in music. Actually, I don't know much about music. So when I decided I wanted some cello, I naturally listened to samplings by Yoyoma. Coming across my cheap computer speakers, the music was naturally flat. Then I read a review saying ...

Alan Hovhaness: Symphony No. 22 ("City of Light"); Cello Concerto

Janos Starker, Alan Hovhaness, ...

Naxos American, 2003

Powerful works -- stunning performance
I bought this CD on a whim, not being familiar with much of Hovhaness' work other than "Mysterious Mountain". The real gem on this recording is the Starker performance of the Cello Concerto. There are few cellists around who can get such a powerful and dark sound out ...

Movie Adagios

Janos Starker, Julian Lloyd Webber, ...

Decca, 2001

Sublime!
Of course, I'm nuts for classical music and classic movies, so this compilation of music featured in some of the most famous movies ever made is an absolutely ideal CD. Filmmakers have been raiding the classical music files since the days of the silents in order to ...

Brahms, Mendelssohn: Cello Sonatas

Janos Starker, Johannes Brahms, ...

Philips, 1996

Get Mercury Living Presence Before Its Dead
When I first started collecting classical CDs, I only had a few Mercury Living Presence (MLP) titles. In my quest to get the absolute best, or at least a definitive recording, of the major works of the standard repertoire, MLP discs rarely topped the critics' lists. In ...

Starker Encore Album

Janos Starker, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Denon Records, 1993

Starker's sparkling interpretation is beautiful...
In this recording Janos Starker exhibits an astounding display of technical mastery of the cello, caressing each nuance and making technical impossiblilities into unique musical experiences. As a cellist, I highly recommend this recording for both study and casual ...
