 | Gershwin: Rhapsody In Blue/An American In Paris [Read More ...] Review: Another Bernstein American Classical treasure:Just a few comments to add to the other fine reviews here.

 | Il Divo [Read More ...] "Il Divo have taught me more than I have taught them. I am actually intimidated and slightly in awe of their talent! I am more proud of this album than anything else i've ever been involved with, they are going to be huge." --Simon Cowell |
 | Ancora [Read More ...] Description: 2006 studio album that reflects the multi-national character of the group; the songs are not all sung in English, but drift between Spanish, English and Italian. However they are worded, all use the emotional Esperanto of love. The group's debut album, IL Divo hit the #1 slot on ... |
 | A State of Wonder: The Complete Goldberg Variations (1955 & 1981) [Read More ...] Description: Glenn Gould's recording debut in 1955 of Bach's Goldberg Variations took the world by storm.

This follow-up to 1996's Appalachia Waltz is filled with highly... |
 | Summon the Heroes [Read More ...] Good CD:The music you hear on the NBC Olympic broadcasts is pretty much all on this disc.
One problem is that on the O Fortuna track, the volume from 00:23 to 01:38 is really low for some reason. Almost inaudible for that section of the song.
