Gershwin: Rhapsody In Blue/An American In Paris

George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1990

Gershwin/Bernstein: Rhapsody In Blue and American In Paris
In my opinion you just can't go wrong with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. I have many of their recordings in addition to many recordings of other orchestras; some great, some not so much...but the New York Phil is cosistently great. This ...

The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe

Denon Records, 2004

sooth for both unborn and newborn babies.
very soothing for the unborn baby (decreases in-utero kicking) and the newborn baby (increases between-feedings time at night). highly recommended for any newly minted parents out there.

Norton Recorded Anthology of Western Music, Fifth Edition, Volume 1: Ancient to Baroque (6 CDs)

W. W. Norton, 2005

The Standard
If you're a music student at almost any major school (I just finished my undergraduate at Indiana University, for example) you'll most likely need to take a course that uses these CD's as part of its history survey. For that purpose, this set is an excellent ...

Total delight!
I can't praise this CD enough. Hearing this wonderful Chinese piano music, in Lang Lang's brilliant performances, is a total delight! Even the Yellow River Concerto, which could be considered kitsch, is given such a warm and sincere reading that it radiates a kind ...

Frederic Chopin, David / Afanasieff, Walter Foster, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

Beautiful Music
This is a beautiful CD. Sometimes the sound is too low, but it is so relaxing! I listen to it every day and have put it on my computer at work to help me get peacefully through the day. So glad I bought it. When Lang Lang's hand touch the keyboard, it is like when ...

Romance of the Violin

Joshua Bell, Giacomo Puccini

very good
I have several of Mr Bells CD's and enjoy all of them. This is the best CD I own. The music is very relaxing and the sound of the strad is awesome. We listen to it nightly (kids) as a bedtime routine and I never tire of it. You would not regret this purchase.

Baby Einstein: Lullaby Classics, Vol. 2

Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, ...

Buena Vista, 2006

Great CD for baby (and adults shhh)
This is great CD. We love Vol. 1 but it was getting a little over played so we bought Vol. 2. It's THE best thing for a car ride. Especially with a fussy baby who hates cars.

Bach: Violin Concertos

Johann Sebastian Bach, Daniel Barenboim, ...

EMI Classics, 2002

Very pleasing
I can understand the criticism and praise from the reviewers on this interpretation. Once again, it's a matter of taste and ultimately liking the balance between technical skill and expression. Sometimes the tempi can alter the course of appreciation as well, and I ...
