Vox (Classical), 1996

Only thing wrong is the title... Good classical collection!
I've pondered the title of this fine classical collection for quite some time (far longer than is warranted, to be sure), and I've yet to come to a conclusion as to why this album is called CANDLELIGHT FAVORITES. While some selections are solemn (Enigma Variations), ...

Loewe: Die drei Wünsche
Carl Loewe, Peter Falk, ...

Capriccio, 2000

Wagner: Parsifal

Richard Wagner, Christian Thielemann, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2006

Radiant performance amid the clatter of stage noise
This new Parsial is a truly visionary performance by Christian Thielemann who never fails to amaze. His reading is both pointillist in his illumination of score's mosaic of tone colors and, at the same time, contrapuntally aware of the music's complex layers. The ...

25 Classical Dance Favorites

Ludwig van Beethoven, Alexander Borodin, ...

Vox (Classical), 1997

Wonderful selection, but not really dancing music
I agree that this is indeed absolutely beautiful light classical music. It is indeed a perfect beginning to a lifelong passion to have classical music playing in the background or to turn up the volume and immerse yourself in it. But it consists of mostly ballet ...

Proarte, 1996

Schubert: Sacred Works - Wolfgang Sawallisch (7 CD's)

Helen Donath, Lucia Popp, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

There are no words to describe it, just music...
How can anyone judge a so magnific masterpiece ? Obviously purists will find "highs" and "lows" in small details. The ensemble is extraordinary! For the whole product I would just add, on the explanation notes, the D number when a specific piece is cited. It will ...

25 Sentimental Favorites
I used to think that classical music is boring, but this CD has changed my mind. The first time I listened to this CD I said, its OK. Later every time I listen to it I discover a new beautiful music. I feel calm and relaxed. I mostly liked the Borodin, Mozart and ...

This DVD features a live concert with the greatest melodies of Strauss and his peers, like Franz Lehar, Julius Fucik, and Jacques Offenbach. Tracks such as "Waldmeister Ouvertüre," ...

Wagner: Tristan und Isolde / Meier, Jerusalem, Lipovsek, Struckmann, Heilmann, Botha; Barenboim

Richard Wagner, Berliner Philharmoniker, ...

Teldec, 1995

Best modern Tristan und Isolde.
Here we have the typical recording that have friends and enemies quite in the same number. I use to think this happens because of ears that are used to listen some way of playing Wagner and that never use to accept the new ways very easily. If we speak seriously you ...

Pure Classical Gold

Various Artists

Pure, 2004

High Quantity, Low Quality
I bought this CD hoping to have a large variety of Classical music at my fingertips for easy listening. In a sense, that's what I got. Unfortunately, this large quantity of music was at a very, very low quality. Whether the trouble was in the Orchestrae ...

Wagner: Lohengrin / Seiffert, Maggie, Polaski, Struckmann, Pape, Trekel, Barenboim

Richard Wagner, Daniel Barenboim

Teldec, 1998

Not your 1st set, but could be your 2nd
This should not be the first _Lohengrin_ you buy. It's pretty good, but there are _great_ performances available: Kempe, with Jess Thomas in the title role, Solti with Domingo, and (I'm told) Abbado with Jerusalem. It's best to get to know the work through a ...
