Great album for a contemporary wedding

Different Mozart

Bela Fleck, Jeff Leonard, ...

Philips, 1996

A Different Mozart -- The right title for a delightful CD.
If you love Mozart, try this album. Interpreters such as Bela Fleck give us a chance to appreciate the enduring beauty of the music, and all of the selections are beautiful in their own way. Each of the pieces is too short for my taste, but that does allow for many ...

I've had this since last Christmas. All the tracks are good, but in particular I was tickled by "Do Something Nice For Your Mother", as narrated by Garrison Keillor. Make no mistake, this isn't exactly christmas party music -- it's best, as the title says, by the ...
