Thomas Arne

Icon: Janet Baker Sings Mahler, Elgar, Berlioz, Chausson, Schubert, Schumann, Bach, Handel

Thomas Arne, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Nothing much new, but all of it great
Janet Baker was the supreme British mezzo of her day and might well be classed with Kathleen Ferrier and Peter Pears as the aristocrats among post-war singers from England. EMI's recycling of her copious recordings has been constant over the years, and so it's hard to ...

Korngold - Die tote Stadt

Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Leif Segerstam, ...

Naxos, 1997

Wonderously exciting!
Until this recording came out, I knew very little about this opera. I knew the plot, and I was familiar with only one "aria" from it recorded by Leontyne Price. Well, what a joy to hear the complete work. It is a 20th century opera but one of such beauty, one that is a ...

Kapell Rediscovered

Thomas Arne, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

RCA, 2008

Are There Still More?
When I first listened to this recording (it came two days ago) I thought that Kapell's sound was agressive, (it is), he rushed (he does) and that his sense of proportion was often out of whack with what's really going on (sometimes it definitely is). But when all was ...

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!!

Great Marches - Leonard Bernstein / New York Philharmonic

Kenneth J. Alford, Thomas Arne, ...

Sony, 1997

great
I really enjoy the CD. I heard exerpts from this CD on the radio and that is why I ordered it.

The Art of the Prima Donna

Thomas Arne, Vincenzo Bellini, ...

Decca, 2000

Five *s, but a duplicate
This is a slimline 2 disc (from a 2 LP) album, but it is identical to the Prima Donna album that is unavailable on Amazon now (it may be available elsewhere), 2 discs in a conventional 2 disc jewel case and all in a cardboard box. Even the picture on the cover is ...

The Art of Joan Sutherland

Thomas Arne, Daniel-Francois-Esprit Auber, ...

Decca, 2005

WHO ELSE CAN SING LIKE THIS TODAY?
This is Decca's second multi disc evaluation of this fantastic singer's long career and many recordings. True that a lot on the first set is duplicated here, but there are a few exceptions here and there that make it a worthy addition. Of particular interest are the ...

Crazy
Thomas Arne, John Blow, ...

Dorian Recordings, 2008

Music of the American Revolution: The Birth of Liberty

Sherrill Milnes, Donald MacCourt, ...

New World Records, 1996

Protest Songs of the 1770s
The music that was composed and performed during the American Revolution is presented on this 1 hour CD. Since I was a child, I've enjoyed hearing the drum and fife corps on the Fourth of July and during the Presidential inaugurations, and this CD has several good ...

Music for Concentration

Tomaso Albinoni, Thomas Arne, ...

Advanced Brain Techno, 2000

When You Need to Focus, This Will Definitely Help!
I've been using this title for several months, and have found that it really helps me to focus in on the task at hand and get it taken care of easily. The fact that the music is wonderfully arranged and played is just an added bonus!

Victorian Musical Boxes

Leroy Anderson, Anonymous, ...

Saydisc, 1995

Victorian Mood
This is a wonderful CD with a good variety of tunes which were popular in Victorian times. It creates a very nice background mood which is pleasantly reminiscent of an era when life was much more simple, electricity was non-existent and one relied on such things as ...

The #1 Choral Album

Hans Sotin, James Morris, ...

Decca, 2002

Something for everyone!
This double CD is certainly worth the small price. The choral music runs the gamut from Bach to John Tavener, all represented by well-known choirs and conductors. Although the music is wonderful, the selctions are not in any order, sometimes creating confusion. But ...

Elisabeth Schwarzkopf 1915-2006

Karl Schmitt-Walter, Thomas Arne, ...

EMI Classics, 2007

Elizabeth Schwartkoopf
Very rapid turn around. Item received in brand new shape and gave top satisfaction

Hymns Through the Ages

Thomas Foster, Choir of All Saints Beverly Hills, ...

Gothic Records, 1995

A Fine Example
This has many wonderful examples of Anglican Hymnody performed by a lovely parish choir. I have recommended this to many musician friends, all whom have enjoyed it thoroughly. Of particular interest is Calvin Hampton's tune St. Helena set with the text "There's a ...

Joan Sutherland: BBC-Recitals 1958, 1960, 1961

André Navarra, Luigi Arditi, ...

Bella Voce Records, 1998

Bravissima!
Anyone who question Sutherland as the greatest coloratura soprano of all time should listen to this CD. She sings with complete control in all the arias. I think that Mozart had her in mind for the Constanza aria. Sutherland before 1975 as a dramatic coloratura ...
