Swarovski Orchestra did an excellent job in this compilation. I work in Foreign Service & I use this CD to play US anthem & the host country anthem during events. Unlike other compilations which shorten the pieces, this offers full-length pieces saving me from ...
  
  











  



  
Kurtag: Jatekok / Marta and Gyorgy Kurtag
Johann Sebastian Bach, György Kurtág, ...

Ecm Records, 2000

Extraordinary music superbly played
This is one of the finest CDs of contemporary piano music I have ever heard. The music is spare, fragmented, and frequently "empty" -- not empty of content, but empty in the way the Grand Canyon is empty. Not knowing very much about Zen I will still venture to say ...

Csardas Hungarian Gypsy Music
Anonymous, Grigoras Dinicu, ...

Naxos, 1995

Gypsy fire!
This music is amazing. Authentically captures the spirit of traditional gypsy folk music wonderfully. I guess the best way to describe this music is to tell you what the liner notes say: "Popular Hungarian gypsy music owes much of its form to earlier aristocratic ...

Christmas Music From Medieval Hungary
Medieval Hungarian Polyphony Anonymous

Hmf Classical Exp., 2001

Surpassing Beauty
This was purchased on a whim, but has become a favorite, one that I have given to several friends & family members. We listen to it year-round, not just during the Christmas holidays. The singing is sublime, and the women's voices so perfectly attuned that it ...
  
  











  



  
Matt Haimovitz: Goulash

Oxingale Records, 2005

Great playing plus a cover of Kashmir - how can you go wrong?
I'm a fan of Cello music and this is VERY well played and a really wide variety of stuff which is a good thing. I've got nothing against the standard catalog of music but it's good to get outside the box. PLUS it's got a rockin' all cello cover of Led Zepplin's ...

Deep in My Heart
Sigmund Romberg, Adolph Deutsch, ...

Romberg The Magnificent
If you don't appreciate Sigmund Romberg, you have no soul. I wish the CD would have included his "Shadows on the Moon" (from "The Girl of the Golden West")sung by the devine, Perfect Ingenue, Jeanette Mac Donald. That musical oater was based on a Puccini Opera & ...

Some excellent tracks.
With twenty-nine national anthems and John Williams' "Olympic Theme", this album offers a reasonable variety of anthems. (Curiously, there is nothing from the USSR/CIS/Russia!) The recording quality is excellent. The interpretation of the anthems seems to attempt to ...
