 | Beethoven's Wig, Vol. 2: More Sing-Along Symphonies [Read More ...]
Description: From a pure-pleasure standpoint, the first Beethoven's Wig was nothing to flip over, and the second disc in the series follows suit. However, that is not to say that this is not a valuable and possibly ingenious record. Those unfamiliar with the premise will quickly get the pictu... |
 | Jacqueline du Pre - Favourite Cello Concertos ~ Boccherini, Dvorak, Elgar, Haydn, Monn, Saint-Saens, Schumann [Read More ...]
Description: During her far-too-brief career, cellist Jacqueline du Pré exhibited an almost oracular power of communication. Her performances bristled with the kind of brilliant electricity that could change lives and convert listeners to a lifelong love of music. Happily, it's possible to e... |
 | The Dvorak Album [Read More ...]
Description: This compilation of music by Dvorak played by Yo-Yo Ma is just beautiful. Ma seems to understand just when Dvorak wants to be super-Romantic and sappy and when he is in fact being merely his usual expressive self. The former comes into bloom with the Slavonic Dance, in which he's... |

a really nice soothing cello collection:I play this for my son when he is going to sleep and it is enjoyable for both of us. A few of the songs are a little "off" the purely soothing edge, but it's still very nice. |
 | Dvorák: Symphonie No. 9; Smetana: Moldau [Read More ...]
Review: Karajan lovingly shapes his third "New World":I hear something special in Karajan's late recordings with the Vienna Phil., an orchestra that brought out the most affectionate detail and sunniest mood in him. Besides this "New World," his third in the modern era, there's an inspir... |
 | The Complete EMI Recordings [Read More ...]
Review: Bad times for the world, but good times for the admirers of Jacqueline Du Pré:These are bad times for the world at large - as I write, the US financial system is threatening a giant systemic collapse, the US are mired in Irak and Afghanistan, with Russia occupying half of Georgi... |
 | The Most Relaxing Classical Album In the World Ever, Volume II [Read More ...]
