Annie (1977 Original Broadway Cast)

Charles Strouse, Martin Charnin, ...

Sony, 1998

Definitive ANNIE Recording
Simply put, this is the DEFINITIVE recording of this musical. Dorothy Loudon will always be the best Ms. Hannigan (sorry Carol!), Andrea McArdle will always be the best Annie, and Reid Shelton will always be the best and brassiest Daddy Warbucks. Also, the wonderful ...

The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

sooth for both unborn and newborn babies.
very soothing for the unborn baby (decreases in-utero kicking) and the newborn baby (increases between-feedings time at night). highly recommended for any newly minted parents out there.

Vivere Live in Tuscany [DVD/CD]

Andrea Bocelli, Sarah Brightman

Decca, 2008

Great Performance... lovely voice....magical concert
I try to avoid watching concerts for the fear of being distracted from the music by lights, fashion, and fake dramatics. Watching Bocelli's concert definitely changed my mind about television viewing of concerts. It's hard to select the best song, but the great ...

The Time-Life Treasury of Christmas

Adolphe Adam, Robert Allen, ...

Time Life Records, 2001

Another wonderful Time Life Christmas treasure trove
As with the first Christmas CD that I reviewed, which technically goes hand in hand with this particular Christmas CD (originally they were sold as a set), I must say that this one is just as amazing as the other one. As I said, these are the original songs by the ...

Songs of Joy & Peace

Yo-Yo Ma

Sony, 2008

Another stunner from Yo-Yo Ma
I listened to this disc and was immediately captivated. Such a variety of wonderful artists with music familiar and unfamiliar, a celebration of the holiday season unlike anything else I have. Indeed, it has led me to purchase CD's from some of the artists incl. Chris ...

The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe

Johann Pachelbel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

Denon Records, 2003

Relaxing Classical Music
I was not really a classical music fan but I am now. I purchased this cd for my 14 year old grand-daughter, not knowing we would both enjoy the music so much. She has always enjoyed classical music along with all of the other teen music, rap, rock, country, etc. ...

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons

Joshua Bell

SONY CLASSICS, 2008

Joshua Bell plays Vivaldi's Four Seasons and the Devil's Trill Sonata
Although nearly everybody who owns at least dozen classical CDs, has already Vivaldi's Four Seasons in his collection. In spite of this, I do not hesitate to chose Joshua Bell's version with the excellent orchestra as a present, The most charming composition and ...

The Most Relaxing Piano Album in the World...Ever!

Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

EMI Classics, 2001

Beautiful piano music!
This is simply an exquisite collection of beautiful piano pieces. I am very satisfied with this purchase. I can read while listening to this music-call it background music...maybe, but even when you're doing something else-the music is there...it does not intrude, but ...

Chopin: The Piano Concertos

Chopin, Zubin Mehta, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

A sublmial reading of Chopin's: and I bet that's the way Chopin would have it!
Chopin's Piano Concerto No. 1, the second one composed by him, was first performed during one of Chopin's "farewell" concerts before leaving Poland. The treatment by Lang Lang and Mehta in this recording is suitably nostaglic, though in terms of tempo not nearly as ...

Camelot (Original Broadway Cast)

Frederick Loewe, Moss Hart, ...

Sony, 1998

Good music
Very pleased with the selections I received. Arrived in very good condition and enjoying them.

Music from a Farther Room

Lucia Micarelli, Eric Holden, ...

Reprise / Wea, 2004

LOVE IT and HATE IT
You can hear the passion and emotion in her music. I can't wait to see what she has in her next Album, "Interlude". I have a LOVE/HATE relationship with her music. I absolutely love, love, love watching her and listening to her music. I hate the fact that it ...

Music for Solo Harp

Elizabeth Hainen

Naxos, 2002

Gorgeous!
For a long time, I've loved music for the solo harp. For a long time, too, I've (please forgive me) not been a fan of the market of solo harp recordings. Why? Honestly, it comes down to the selection of peices. That is, too many solo harp records either tend to fall ...
