The Complete EMI Sessions 1928-1939

Stephen Adams, Egbert van Alstyne, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

This is only for dedicated fans, but for us, it is a treasure/pleasure...
I could not afford this seven-disc box, but my dear friends Jim and Cindy Clark of Kansas, realizing that I am the only Robeson fan they are ever likely to meet, gifted me with this. I am extremely grateful. I "discovered" Paul in 1959, when I was 14, via a Vanguard ...

A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols

King's College Choir, Stephen Cleobury

EMI Classics, 1999

Truely inspirational!!!!
A holiday classic. It has been a tradtion in our family for years. This is the first time I've seen it available on CD. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Cambridge Singers Christmas Album

Stephen Orton, Adolphe Adam, ...

Collegium, 2003

Glittering Chrismas Music
I own virtually all of the CD's of John Rutter (whom I greatly admire) and the Cambridge Singers, and I am a fan of English Choral music in general. If I were asked to recommend only one of the many Cambridge Singers Christmas albums, or indeed one of any English ...

Andre Rieu - Christmas Around the World

Adolphe Adam, Felix Bernard, ...

Denon Records, 2006

Deck the halls with boughs of holly
I rarely buy Christmas music. I hear a lot it every where I go in public so why buy any? Well this year I have made a couple of exceptions. One being the Celtic Woman Christmas cd and the other Andre Rieu's "Christmas Around the World". Thanks to PBS and its annual ...

Christmas Adagios

Gerald Finley, Adolphe Adam, ...

Decca, 2001

One of my very top 5 favorite holiday albums!
What a delightful surprise this 2 disc album was and I'm not a big fan of Christmas music. I loved all the selections and felt they were well performed. This is a true "must have" for any Christmas collection. Superior to many other compliations on the market. This ...

Jessye Norman - Sacred Songs ~ Ave Maria, Amazing Grace, etc..

Jessye Norman, Charles Gounod, ...

Philips, 1990

incredibly moving
I was listening to the local public radio station when they played the Sanctus and I literally had to drive off the road to listen it was so powerfyl and moving. Jessye Norman is a national treasure.

#1 Christmas Album

Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, ...

Decca, 2001

Touch of angle, touch of heart
If you enjoy opera or choir, this is a must collection. The Choir of King's College probably knows the secret how to make the listener flying among thousands of Christmas candles. Pavarotti's opening is so mighty that remind people, this year, to be courageous and to ...

The Christmas I Love

Andre Rieu, Johann Strauss Orchestra

Philips, 1997

A Christmas Collection That Is Just Plain Fun
Sometimes I think the only person who is happy that Public television is financially challenged, other that certain legislators who believe that it is too liberal and the culmination of all that is evil, is Andre Rieu. Now don't get me wrong, this happy Dutch musician ...

Charlotte Church

Stephen Adams, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Sony, 1999

You Are my True Inspiration Charlotte Church No matter what happens
you are definetly my number one top fan,I love your voice, so full, sweet and bright, you are a wonderful person, I dont care what people think of you, proberly they dont like you, but I feel very bad and very sad when people talk bad about you, you are defintely my ...

The Best Carols in the World...Ever!

Gareth Morrell, Simon Vaughan, ...

EMI Classics, 2005

Title makes a big claim, but it absolutely delivers...
This album provides 2.5 hours of excellent carols, from excellent choirs and soloists, and with great sound. I was worried that a compilation this large, and with such an extravagent title, would be B-side offerings, but that's not the case at all. This isn't an ...

Land of My Fathers: 100 Great Welsh Choir Favourites

Adolphe Adam, Stephen Adams, ...

Castle Pulse, 2005

Wonderful!
I bought this on a whim, as I like male choral groups. Am I ever glad I bought it! The music is soaring, and the voices are magnificent. I don't know all of the technical stuff about recording, etc.--I just know I love this collection!

Incredible Christmas Album
Adolphe Adam, Leroy Anderson, ...

Decca, 2003

Broadway - The American Musical (PBS Series)

Richard Adler, Peter Allen, ...

Sony, 2004

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover
Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a ...

CHRISTMAS at King's College

Gareth Morrell, Stephen Varcoe, ...

EMI Classics, 1998

4 Disc tour de' force of "high church" Christmas music
It's in there.. this is a great collection of Anglican Cathedral Christmas music. Highly recommended.

Children's Cello

Steven Isserlis, Amy Beach, ...

Bis, 2006

A DELIGHT
What a lucky little boy Steven Isserlis's son must be. His father is a leading cellist in the world and is good friends with a leading pianist of the world (Stephen Hough).The aforesaid two musicians are well known as a splendid chamber music team! Obviously ...
