Nikolai Rimsky-Kor...

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.

Marches: Greatest Hits

Kenneth J. Alford, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Sony, 1994

Blood Pumping Music
This CD took me back many years. It has great music that will get your blood pumping. It is a great selection of music and should be in anyones CD collection!!

Baby Einstein: Traveling Melodies

Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, ...

Buena Vista, 2005

Saved My Sanity
My husband and I are musicians so I inwardly groaned when we were given this CD as a gift--I'd rather play the originals rather than some synthesized kiddie version. However, on a recent road trip we got desperate when our colicky son would not stop screaming. We ...

Sheherazade / Russian Easter Overture

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Eugene Ormandy, ...

Sony, 2002

Highly Worthy of the "Definitive" Title!
This is one of my favorite pieces of Russian music ever composed, which is a mixed blessing in the sense that, when the music is performed the right way, it's positively revelatory, and when it's performed the wrong way, it's a massive bummer and leads to deep ...

Itzhak Perlman's Greatest Hits

Frederic Chopin, Edward Elgar, ...

EMI Classics, 1998

If you are a violin lover, buy it
It's beautiful. Simply put.

Baby Einstein: Playtime Music Box

Ludwig van Beethoven, Georges Bizet, ...

Buena Vista, 2004

Simple Music
This is music for babies, or for children, the people at Baby Einstein understand that little ears have trouble discerning multiple sounds. If you had wanted a classical music CD those are already available. But your baby needs a simple CD with only 1 or 2 instruments. ...

Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade; Capriccio Espagnol; Russian Easter Overture

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Andrew Litton, ...

EMI Classics, 1995

Stellar Performance
Having been a professional violinist and pianist for thirty years, I have developed a special appreciation for classical music. Scheherezade is one of the great orchestral pieces. This version clearly highlights the great skill of the composer and the orchestra. All ...

Khachaturian: Masquerade Suite; Kabalevsky: The Comedians; Tchaikovsky: Capriccio Italien; Rimsky-Korsakov: ...

Dmitry Kabalevsky, Aram Khachaturian, ...

RCA, 1999

Simply BEAUTIFUL!
Many do not know Aram Khachaturian's moving, romantic music, but they would likely recognised the Sabre Dance, used everywhere commercials and cartoons or the Adagio used by Stanley Kubrick in 2001: A Space Odyssey. That frantic, almost comical Sabre Dance comes from ...

Hush

Yo-Yo Ma, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Sony, 1992

Yo-Yo & Bobby...How do I love thee
This music has a song that I was obliged to have played as my wedding march. The musical is etherial and loveable. Our favorite!!!

Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade; Stravinsky: Song of the Nightingale [Hybrid SACD]

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Igor Stravinsky, ...

RCA, 2005

Definitive SACD of Scheherazade - Outstanding!!!!
This multichannel SACD is recorded in the front 3 channels only, as this is what the technicians and their top notch analog equipment recorded more than 40 years ago. At that time the Chicago Symphony and conductor Fritz Reiner were both at the top of their game, and ...

Tchaikovsky: 1812 Overture/ Marche Slave

Torgny Sporsen, Alexander Borodin, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1991

Thunderous!
I am a new listener to classical music and as such do not claim to have yet developed a refined ear. However, this recording has exactly the attributes other reviewers have reported. The chorus and the cannons make it. I listened on a pair of Definitive Tecnology ...

Philips, 2006

Welcome to the Miraculous World of Russian Opera
Let go of Puccini, Wagner and the rest. Russian opera is its own universe of sound. The voices, the instrumentation, the melodies all are unique to this vast musical culture which is finally starting to make an impact in the West. We can thank Mr. Gergiev in many ...

Boris Godounov (1869 & 1872 Versions)

Modest Mussorgsky, Valery Gergiev, ...

Philips, 1999

Three cheers for the original, harsher 1869 version
Since it appeared in 1998, this two-for-one Boris Godunov has been widely acclaimed. I'd just like to praise the original 1869 version, which is harsher, more compact, and more visceral than all its successors. Here is the Gramophone's brief account of the opera's ...

Carnaval

Jean-Baptiste Arban, Herman Bellstedt, ...

Sony, 1990

Credit Wynton Marsalis
This outstanding collection of turn-of-the-last-century cornet solos is a collector's item. Mr. Marsalis (and the ensemble) makes it all sound so easy and enjoyable. As an instrumental music teacher I find hearing these inspires many of my high school high brass ...

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 ...
