String

Sarah Brightman, Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni, ...

Angel Records, 2002

Soprano Sarah Soars
What a rare treat to hear such a wonderful voice! The music transcends the various languages( Latin, Italian, French, Spanish and almost no English) and communicates directly, beyond intellect, deeper to sooth the soul. This we expect from Opera and Religious ...

Caught In The Act (CD + DVD)

Michael Buble

Reprise / Wea, 2005

good concert
This CD/DVD combo package is a concert that Michael Buble did for PBS a few years ago. He does a wonderful job singing classic jazz and pop standards. I also enjoyed his original song, Home, which he wrote. Michael is definitely a fresh of breath air in today's music ...

Jonas Brothers

Jonas Brothers

Hollywood Records, 2007

AWESOME.......MUST HAVE!!!
I personally own this cd and it is one of my favorites. I played it so many times that it actually needed a break in order to physically play. Definitely great for any young girl, guy who's into music, and anyone who wants to listen to decent music that is not ...

Baby Einstein: Lullaby Classics

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Buena Vista, 2004

perfect bedtime music for baby
We always play this cd during the evening routine, just right before the baby's falling asleep and he really likes it. The light tunes are really efficient for this purpose. It is a mixture of songs from the big classics like Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach, Debussy. Worth the ...

Andrea Bocelli - Sacred Arias / Myung-Whun Chung

George Frideric Handel, Giulio Caccini, ...

Philips, 1999

Beautiful music
This is my second copy of this CD, I burned the first one out!! Andrea Bocelli has a very gorgeous voice that is a gift from above. His voice is not affected or braggadoccio but naturally magnificent. I could and do start my day listening to this spiritually uplifting ...

Tennessee Pusher

Old Crow Medicine Show

Nettwerk Records, 2008

So what if they used drums in this album?
Ok, so what if they used drums on the tracks in this album? Who cares if they sound more "modern"? The fact remains they have the song writing talent that allows them to sound original no matter what instrument is there or not - and I am rating this album a full 5 ...

The Essential Yo-Yo Ma

Edgar Meyer, Hector Console, ...

Sony, 2005

pure genius
No instrument asks more from the soul of an artist as the cello does. Yo Yo Ma shows to be master of the instrument and his interpretations en technique are pure genius. Everyone should have this album in his (or hers of course) basic classical collection

Vox (Classical), 1996

great gift
Bought this product for my grandchild to introduce him to classical music. It was perfect. Thanks

The Best of the Three Tenors

Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, ...

Decca, 2002

The best from the three greatest...
The first thing we must establish here is that this is not meant to be opera. This is three exceptionally talented tenors enjoying themselves and giving tremendous joy to those listening by singing mostly popular "evergreens" and also some operatic arias. The beauty in ...

Bach Violin Concertos & Gubaidulina ?In Tempus Praesens'

Johann Sebastian Bach, Sofia Gubaidulina, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

A great new violin concerto
The Gubaiadulina concerto is magnificant, as is Mutter's playing and Gergiev and the LSO. I have listened to this work about half a dozen times now and am more impressed every time I hear it. One continuous piece that contains about every aspect of violin playing one ...

Beethoven's Wig: Sing Along Symphonies

Beethoven's Wig

Rounder / Umgd, 2002

Brilliantly done!
We borrowed this CD from the library and have maxed out our renewal limit because my kids don't want to give it back! The lyrics aren't just silly words set to famous orchestral pieces--they contain information about the composers and time periods in which they lived. ...

Mozart for Mothers-To-Be: Tender Lullabies for Mother and Child

Eva Czako, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

Philips, 1996

Love it
I got this about a month ago and listen to it in the car and so enjoy my ride to work now. Its so soothing and I cannot wait to play it to my baby once she is born. I am sure it will help to calm and relax her to sleep since I have so enjoyed listening to it during my ...

O.C.M.S.

Old Crow Medicine Show

Nettwerk Records, 2004

Tell It To Me!
I heard these guys for the first time on NPR's Prairie Home Companion. Their rendition of "Wagon Wheel," the last track on this disc, was the perfect tune to be listening to, while riding down the road towards home. The disc as a whole is nearly perfect. Balanced, ...

The Time-Life Treasury of Christmas

Adolphe Adam, Robert Allen, ...

Time Life Records, 2001

Another wonderful Time Life Christmas treasure trove
As with the first Christmas CD that I reviewed, which technically goes hand in hand with this particular Christmas CD (originally they were sold as a set), I must say that this one is just as amazing as the other one. As I said, these are the original songs by the ...

25 Mozart Favorites

John Sant'Ambrogio, George Silfies, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Wonderful collection and price!
I found this to be a nice collection of favorites, especially to keep in the car and listen to. It is a variety of well known compilations. Although not encompassing, it is perfect as a review for driving, relaxing, and enjoyment. Plus, the price is right!
