Movie Themes with a Classical Twist
What's not to like about a good song from a good movie? All the classic movie themes (i.e., Titanic, Zorba the Greek, etc.) are here but played by a full orchestra. I considered this approach to modern music a true and distinct pleasure and a nice break from the ...

I enjoy Méhdi"Christmas Treasures",Charlie Brown Christmas ,Mannheim Steamroller etc.and this a magnificent production that I also enjoy just as much. The Time-Life Treasury of Christmas combines both volumes of the series into a two-CD set. Christmas Spirit features ...

The Best of the Three Tenors

Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, ...

Decca, 2002

The best from the three greatest...
The first thing we must establish here is that this is not meant to be opera. This is three exceptionally talented tenors enjoying themselves and giving tremendous joy to those listening by singing mostly popular "evergreens" and also some operatic arias. The beauty in ...

Greatest Hits: Broadway

Irving Berlin, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1996

A Good One!
This is a very good CD, mostly because it's the original artists. I've had some that were re-recorded by no name artists that were ghastly. This one is a really good one--including the sound quality. If I had one wish, I would wish it were longer!

Classics for Kids

Martin Hoherman, Georges Bizet, ...

RCA, 1993

Great for Preschool Children
I use this CD with my preschool music group. The kids love it! This CD enables children learn about classical music without over extending their attention spans.

Live in Vienna, Limited Edition (CD & DVD)

Imre (Emmerich) Kalman, Franz Lehar, ...

Denon Records, 2008

Limited Fun and Satisfaction
If you prefer having Andre's music in CD format you'll enjoy the selections on this CD. The DVD is a bonus piece with selections from several of his other DVD shows. It's a good DVD sampler, but only whets your appetite for more. If you prefer sitting down to a full ...

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 ...

Let Yourself Go

Kristin Chenoweth, Jule Styne, ...

Sony, 2001

One of the best ever!
Do I mean the best album or the best singer? You are correct if you said both! I saw Kristin Chenoweth on a PBS show "Broadway's Best at the Pops," (though it was not the first time I had heard her) and decided to check out the offerings here. This is a collection ...

Bryn Terfel - Something Wonderful (Bryn Terfel sings Rodgers & Hammerstein)

Bryn Terfel, English Northern Philharmonia, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

Superb matchmaking in Terfel's R&H recital
You might think that it is a very superflous mismatch for an opera singer to try his vocal cords on the Broadway songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein. However, in this R&H offering by Bryn Terfel, he proves that it is a perfect match between singer and repertoire for a ...

Carousel (1994 Broadway Revival Cast)

Michael Hayden, Richard Rodgers, ...

Angel Records, 1994

An American Masterpiece, Great Recording
MUCH better than the 93 London cast recording! Rodgers and Hammerstein were so superior to any composers of the 40' and 50' (with the exception of Lerner and Lowe perhaps), they should be in their own category of music. Carousel holds up as one of the 4 or 5 greatest ...

Placido Domingo: A Love Until The End Of Time

Placido Domingo, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1990

love songs easy to listen too
I love a classical voice singing this type of mustic, or sacred (from the operas (in English), or, out of print sacred. Wish I could find a source for some of my old tapes (some recorded from 78s) of artists like Jerome Hines (Holy City, 1962-3, 78 record I transferred ...

Renee Fleming: By Request

Vincenzo Bellini, Alfredo Catalani, ...

Decca, 2003

Just plain great!
This is my favorite album!!! I use it to mellow out, or just listen to her magnificent voice. I've passed on a few of her other albums, but if I lost this one, I'd buy it over and over again.

A Musical Treat
