Brilliant Classics, 2008

Good budget set.
Alright, I'll admit upfront that I haven't gotten through this entire set yet (or even close to it) but I've sampled enough to where I feel I'm able to give a good opinion. Orchestral music: Inconsistent. The Violin Concerto is the worst of the bunch, with slow ...

György Ligeti Edition 3: Works for Piano (Etudes, Musica Ricercata) - Pierre-Laurent Aimard

Gyorgy Ligeti, Pierre-Laurent Aimard

Sony, 1997

Perfect Ligeti.
The own György Ligeti was asked about who was the pianist more complete in his piano works; he talked about Pierre-Laurent Aimard, whose a close relation with the XXth Century music is very well known (Boulez, Messiaen, Berg, Schönberg, Carter...) all around the world. ...

Chopin: Favorite Piano Works

Frederic Chopin, Vladimir Ashkenazy

Decca, 1996

Why are you waiting?
Ashkenazy is one of the titans of Chopin. Davidovich and Arrau are the other two. They're all you need. Get Davidovich for the concertos, (inlcuding the Krakowiak--Op 14), Arrau for the nocturnes and a few micscellaneous pieces. Ashkenazy handles everything else. ...

Beautiful piano music!
This is simply an exquisite collection of beautiful piano pieces. I am very satisfied with this purchase. I can read while listening to this music-call it background music...maybe, but even when you're doing something else-the music is there...it does not intrude, but ...

You will like this!
I had purchased an abundance of the "Favorites" collection and some were better than others. This CD is at the top of them all. They may be short, but not that short. Wondrous music. I can almost guarantee that you will like this music. Well worth the price!

The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe

Johann Pachelbel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

Denon Records, 2003

Greatly enjoy!
I first developed a taste for this music a number of years ago when my daughter started playing in the orchestra. The reason I made this purchase however, was because I have a great deal of difficulty with anxiety and I was looking for ways to find help. I love these ...

Horowitz in Moscow

Frederic Chopin, Franz Liszt, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1990

Oh, God...5 stars would be simply unfair...
Upon hearing this record for the first time, I had to pinch myself to make sure I was actually listening to such an amazing, if not perfect display of talent and beauty. After having listened to it over and over again along the years, maybe more than 1000 times, I ...

Liszt: Greatest Hits

Franz Liszt, Esa-Pekka Salonen, ...

Sony, 1995

Excellent
This CD begins with an energetic Mephisto Waltz, flawlessly conducted with a minute and meticulous attention to detail by the illustrious Eugene Ormandy. The waltz is followed by the first momvement of Liszt's first piano concerto, a foreboding, majestic monument to ...

Sarah Brightman Classics

Angel Records, 2002

Ahh Sarah!
Is there a better singer in the world? I don't think so, but in any case, this new album from the now very svelte and very georgeous Sarah Brightman is superb. The power, the control, the clarity is all there. This experienced vocalist is the definition of a world ...

Chopin Recital

Frederic Chopin, Yundi Li

Deutsche Grammophon, 2003

Exquisite
Regardless of the hype and harm, this is a masterstroke by a prodigy who will have a secure future in recitals and recordings. These interpretations are at the same time euphoric and technically brilliant. It boggles the mind where this youngster will rise to as he ...

Yo-Yo Ma, Sergey Rachmaninov, ...

Sony, 1994

One of the best CD I own
This is one of the best I own. The music is so great, hard to explain...so moving, especially the first track. It reminds me of Russia a lot. I listen to it everyday while driving to work. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic!!

Gabriela Montero plays Chopin, Falla, Ginestera, etc. [Includes Bonus CD]

Frederic Chopin, Manuel de Falla, ...

EMI Classics, 2005

Non-professional Review
Okay, I listen almost exclusively to classical music, but I do so simply for the pleasure and nothing more. I cannot tell you about Gabriela Montero's technique, and, when she improvises, I have no ability to judge the music's intrinsic value, authenticity, or ...

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC/WAY TO LEARN ABOUT CHOPIN & HISTORY
