The Best of Paganini
Niccolo Paganini, Alexander Gibson, ...

Philips, 1999

Excellent Introductory set of Paganini
This is a fine compilation. Not only it includes better compositions by Paganini, it also includes some of the best recorded performance of the works as well. As a musicological interest, Grumiaux and Szerying gave revival performances of no.3 and 4. The approaches ...
  
  











  



  
Vision: The Music of Hildegard von Bingen
Hildegard von Bingen, Catherine King, ...

Angel Records, 1994

Medieval meets lounge
If Hildegard Von Bingen wrote music for a hip lounge, this would be it. Its amazing that music this old ( from the 1100's) can sound so wonderful and modern with the addition of modern instruments. It really energizes the old music I have couple of recordings of ...
  
  











  



  
Baroque Adagios
Janos Starker, Julian Lloyd Webber, ...

Decca, 2002

Why is this beautiful set so low in Amazon sales?
While classical music is achieving a resurgence in the UK and Finland, in the U.S. the meager proportion of classical music among record store and department offerings still reflects classical's waning status. What we do find even in drugstores and supermarkets is ...
  
  











  



  
The Ultimate Recorder Collection
Malcolm Arnold, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

RCA, 1999

More than the sum of the parts.
I bought this as wallpaper music - and got a very pleasant surprise! Several of the pieces stopped me in my tracks, made me sit down and forced me to listen. Michala Petri demonstrates a masterly control of her instrument and a high level of musicianship in a wide ...
  
  











  



  
Cieli di Toscana
Andrea Bocelli, Pierpaolo / Luciani, Paolo Guerrini, ...

Philips, 2001

See Other Andrea Bocelli Review
Just what it says. See my other Andrea Bocelli reviews to get the idea I really like this guy.
  
  











  



  
Boito - Mefistofele / Arena, Ramey, Benackova, San Francisco Opera
Samuel Ramey, Gabriela Benacková

Kultur Video, 2001

Sam Ramey is superb!
Sam Ramey is one of the greatest bass-baritones and Boito's Mefistofele is one of the roles which is rightfully associated with him by most opera enthusiasts. His performance is reason enough to purchase this DVD. The music is stunningly beautiful and this production ...
  
  











  



  
Vivaldi: The Four Seasons/Tartini: The Devil's Trill
Giuseppe Tartini, Antonio Vivaldi, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1999

Not For The Purist, But I Think This Is The Best Recording of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons"
Only a die-in-the-wool traditionalist will dislike this fine Deutsche Grammophon recording of Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons", which I regard as the best recording of it that I've heard, surpassing classic ones from the likes of I Musici. Indeed, the venerable Penguin ...
  
  











  



  
The Devil's Trill: Showpieces for violin & piano
Claude Debussy, Manuel de Falla, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

a feast of violin virtuosity
What a tone! David Oistrakh was a virtuoso, of that there is no doubt. What makes his playing stand apart, though, is his rich, full, round tone. Oistrakh does not draw attention to his technical skill, he draws attention to the music. These duets, with ...
  
  











  



  
Mozart - Don Giovanni / Furtwangler
Otto Edelmann, Elisabeth Grümmer

Deutsche Grammophon, 2001

Siepi shiiiiines!!!
This DVD is just great. Nothing else is needed to be told though I will go on a bit further. What made this DVD so enjoyable for me was the performances of Cesare Siepi and Otto Edelmann. They act in a way that you know they enjoy themselves immensely and therefore ...
  
  











  



  
Boito - Mefistofele

Dynamic Italy, 2008

Strong Cast
This is a very fine release from Dynamic, technically up to their usual superb standards. The picture quality is excellent and the audio has a natural balance. It's the only advantage that this DVD has over the SF one with Ramey at his sexiest, charismatic prime, but ...
  
  











  



  
Symphonic Music of the Rolling Stones
Keith Richards, Peter Scholes, ...

RCA Victor, 1994

Best CD I own.
I've had this CD for what seems like a lifetime now, and I still can't put it away. By far the most timeless CD I own.
  
  











  



  
Mozart - Don Giovanni / Gilfry, Polgar, Bartoli, Rey, Nikiteanu, Salminen, Widmer, Harnoncourt, Zurich Opera
Isabel Rey, Cecilia Bartoli

Arthaus Musik, 2002

Drama and comedy - This production has it all
It has been around a decade since I first listened to Don Giovanni and it has remained my favourite opera since. Mozart's operatic genius reached its zenith and did not surpass itself after Don Giovanni; and it is arguably his finest written opera, despite (or in spite ...
  
  











  



  
Masters of the Bow
Joseph Achron, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

Outstanding
I love the violin and this collection is one of my favorites. A great choice for someone like me who doesn't know enough about music and never knows what to buy. It has introduced me to some artists and pieces that I knew nothing about and will help me know what to ...
  
  











  



  
Mozart - Don Giovanni
Herbert Perry, Eugene Perry

Decca, 2005

Peter Sellars Excels
I saw this many moons ago on TV around Christmas when the other two Da Ponte operas were transmitted along with this DON GIOVANNI. This version was long overdue for a DVD issue. I've owned the previous VHS and Laser-Disc editions and I've snapped up this DVD ...
  
  











  



  
Itzhak Perlman - Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto ~ Live in Russia / Mehta
Antonio Bazzini, Ernest Bloch, ...

EMI Classics, 1991

Don't miss Live in Russia
I am a Perlman Lover and I own both the CD and the video of this concert. This performance contains some of my favorite show-pieces for violin, in particular Tchaikovsky's Concerto in D, Tartini's Devil's Trill, Wieniawski's Caprice in A minor, and Bazzini's Le Ronde ...
