Tomaso Albinoni, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Telarc, 1998

wedding shoes
We had an outdoor wedding and used this CD, along with one other CD (The Knot Collection), for our music selections. Between the two CDs - we had all of our pre-wedding music and our processionals covered. It has a nice selection of various, popular choices for modern ...

Canticum Canticorum

Marc-Antoine Charpentier, John Dunstable, ...

ATMA, 2008

Music For and Through the Ages
I've listened to this disc half a dozen times already, yet I still don't know if I can adequately do justice to its sublime vocal magic. It's comprised of a number of songs inspired by the Song of Songs, a book in the Bible that celebrates both divine and physical ...

100 Best Baroque

Bernard Deletre, Josep-Miquel Ramon i Monzó, ...

EMI Classics, 2006

Great value, if slightly substandard recordings, for classical newbie
"100 Best Baroque" is what it seems - a compilation of the 100 definitive Baroque compositions. For a very low price you get a complete overview of the Baroque style, and while the sound quality of the recordings will not satisfy a serious student or fan of classical ...

Classic Wynton

Jean-Baptiste Arban, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Sony, 1998

amazing
Classic Wynton is the most glorious display of musicianship I have ever heard. No other trumpet player even comes close to Wynton. Don't listen to anything the editorial review says though, it must have been written by a complete ignoramus. Wynton Marsalis not having a ...

Wynton Marsalis: In Gabriel's Garden

Charles Tunnell, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Sony, 1996

Praising The Most High Through The Clarion Voice
...a lowly servant heralding the return of The King... ...perhaps at the fringe society-wise, but nevertheless a clarion voice in praise of The Most High... ...stunning and spiritually invigorating...

A Bride's Guide to Wedding Music

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Naxos, 2002

A must have in your music library
I had ordered this cd on the recommendation of the musical director from my Church who has quite an extensive international background. I mistakenly thought I would just use it to pick out songs for the ceremony portion of my wedding. It turns out it has so many ...

The Baroque Christmas Album

Johann Sebastian Bach, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, ...

Archiv Produktion, 2005

5-PLUS Stars
There are not many things in life that I would describe as just Gorgeous -- but this album is definitely one of them. The selections, the arrangements, the production quality, all are clean, yet lush -- simultaneously light and rich. The effect is wonderful. This ...

25 Baroque Favorites

Tomaso Albinoni, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

SUPERB
An introduction to the best baroque music by famous composers. Great sound on this CD. There are over 10 CD's in this Farorites collection, and this by far is one of the best ones. If you like the classical sounds of music, then you will like this. Check out the ...

Ceremonial Music for Trumpet & Symphonic Organ

Johann Sebastian Bach, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, ...

Telarc, 1993

A ceremony in sound
This is a beautifully performed CD of ceremonial music of the Christian tradition. While organist Michael Murray talks about the diversity of kinds of ceremonial music in the liner notes essay, the musical selection here is drawn from the Western Christian tradition ...

Simply the Best Classical Anthems

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Erato, 2000

Great Sampler!
This is a good sampler, since it covers what you would want in a classical music CD. Looking at the tracks, it has the classic hits, such as "Ride of the Valkyries," "Toccata and Fugue," "Fanfare for the Common Man," "'Jupiter' from `The Planets,'" "Eine Klein ...

Greatest Hits ~ Baroque

George Frideric Handel, Jean-Philippe Rameau, ...

Sony, 1995

Outstanding sampler
It is impossible of course to capture Baroque music on a single CD, but if you want just one it doesn't get any better than this. Outstanding and generous selection of many of the best known excerpts of the period, excellent performances throughout, and superior sound ...

Discover Music of the Baroque Era

Christina Stelmacovich, David van Asch, ...

Naxos, 2005

Fulfilling Overview of the Baroque Era in Music and Words
Yet another great bargain-priced package from Naxos effectively provides an overview of the rich Baroque period with two discs containing more than 2 ½ hours of music and a comprehensive, 140-page primer booklet. Compiled by music historian Clive Unger-Hamilton, the ...

No. 1 Wedding Album

Anonymous, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Decca, 2003

Wonderful Ceremony Music
We sampled a lot of cd's on Amazon before choosing this cd. We picked this one because it had the best selection of traditional ceremony music. It's tough to review because it's not like we have listened to it since the wedding. We only used it for a handful of songs ...

Charpentier - Médée / Hunt, Padmore, Deletre, Zanetti, Salzmann, Les Arts Florissants, Christie

Marc-Antoine Charpentier, William Christie, ...

Erato, 1995

The power of music and classical drama!
I was fortunate to listen to this production, performed in Lisbon in 1994, and I will never forget Lorraine Hunt on her black long dress, calling the spirits of the underwold in the third act... it was a magical moment, something I have no words to express. The ...

The Best Choral Album in the World...Ever!

John Shirley-Quirk, Daniel Sladden, ...

EMI Classics, 2005

I love it and I give it as a gift
This is the first collection of choral music that I've purchased and I love it. I own copies of operas and requiems and masses, but if you attend choral concerts, as I have been recently, you learn there is a huge colletion of choral music appart from the forms I've ...
