Johann Sebastian Bach, Francois Couperin, ...

Telarc, 2008

Russell at his best
Russell's tone always amazes me and his technique is impeccable on this CD as usual.

Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade; Capriccio Espagnol; Russian Easter Overture

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Andrew Litton, ...

EMI Classics, 1995

Best Classical CD bargain on Amazon, IMHO
I'm surprised this CD isn't displayed on the Classical Blowout store. Perhaps it's *too* good a bargain? I purchased this CD for one piece: The Story Of The Kalandar Prince. My children and I love this work, as it is orchestrated like a story ("tone poem" is the ...

Kapell Rediscovered

Thomas Arne, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

RCA, 2008

Kapell rediscovered vividly
The parties involved in processing the acetate discs of William Kapell's performances in WILLIAM KAPELL reDISCOVERED have, in my opinion, managed masterfully to present them in vivid sound. The original discs were recorded from radio broadcasts by an amateur in ...

Reflections of Spain: Spanish Favorites for Guitar

David Russell, Isaac Albeniz, ...

Telarc, 2002

The Best
This is the best Spanish guitar CDs that I have found. Even with "Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces" having more tracks and two CDs, this is better material. I am not saying that "33 Guitar Masterpiece" was bad, I actually rate it second. No need to skip ...

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 ...

25 Classical Favorites

Frank Morelli, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Great collection of classical favorites - but no Beethoven
Overall an excellent collection of classical favorites and for $3.99 its a steal, but strangely there is not a single Beethoven composition in the CD.

UltraSound - Music for the Unborn Child

Johannes Brahms, Frederic Chopin, ...

RCA, 1999

Soothing sounds for unborn baby
This product is wonderful and i would recommend it to anybody who is expecting a baby. It can be used also later on when the baby is born of course so it is a never-ending beautiful piece of music.

Baby Einstein: Baby Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Baby Einstein Music Box Orchestra

Buena Vista, 2002

Baby love
My baby loves the baby einstein movies (3 months old) and this uses the music from the baby Mozart video, so he recognizes it and laughs and plays while listening!

Build Your Baby's Brain

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Sony, 1998

Wonderful stimulating music for baby
I am sorry for the previous review who said that intelligence is hereditary. If that is true, all mankind would have been doomed from the start. Intelligence is not hereditary, but rather a result of stimulation during infancy and birth. Sure, it isn't a guarantee ...

25 Bach Favorites

Hildegard Rutgers, Erich Wenk, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Bach
Surely you don't need me to review the guy. You know who he is, you've heard his music, and I hope you own some. So let me turn the podium over to a cat named Picasso, and you can read into that whatever you wish. She's in a chair, near the CD player. She has entered ...

25 Wedding Favorites

Johann Sebastian Bach, Jeremiah Clarke, ...

Vox (Classical), 2000

25 Wedding Favorites
I was very happy with the cd. It arrived in excellent condition and faster than I was led to expect it. I used some of the music from it for my wedding which was wonderful. thank you!

Bernstein Century - Copland: Appalachian Spring, Rodeo, etc / Bernstein, New York PO

Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1997

Definitive Recordings of Copland's Popular Ballet Scores From Bernstein, NYPO
Without question, this splendid CD is my favorite recording of some of Aaron Copland's most popular orchestral ballet scores. In Leonard Bernstein he had both a good friend and a devout ally, who successfully championed Copland's music, helping to ensure his reputation ...

Simply Baroque

Yo-Yo Ma, Johann Christoph Bach, ...

Sony, 2003

YO YO MA'S SIMPLY BAROQUE IS SIMPLY...WONDERFUL !
The Baroque Period in Europe originated in the early 17th century and reached it's peak in the early 18th century. The English word "baroque" is translated from the Italian "barocco", meaning "bizarre". "Passionate" is probably more like it. Johann Sebastian Bach is ...

40 Degrees North

Isaac Albeniz, Anonymous, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Unique talent, unique perspective, and as close to an autobiography as you will get in classical music
Yang Xue Fei is on a mission to change how we listen to guitar. This is an extremely ambitious goal, approached and achieved in the past by the likes of Segovia and Bream. It sets her apart from other guitarists, no matter how wonderful or dazzling their talents. As ...

New Dawn

Johann Sebastian Bach, Giulio Caccini, ...

EMI Int'l, 2008

A Real New Dawn
The latest Libera CD to add to my collection, "New Dawn," is slightly different than previous Libera CDs, in my opinion. This does not diminish the quality and artistry of the music in this CD in any way. Among the classic Libera style tracks are two tracks that one ...
