Review: Best of the best:There's something for every Tchaikovsky lover on this disc. From Swan Lake to Onegin, many of Tchaikovsky's most-known melodies are on this disc. I'd have preferred more than an excerpt of the first movement of Piano Concerto No. 1, but this disc is a great intro... |

 | Choral Adagios [Read More ...]
Review: Good, not great...:It is a cut and paste job, and the overall result reflects that. Some of the pieces are rather good. Some are works that are not choral works, and do not lend themselves well to being morphed into a choral piece.
If you are looking for a musical experience... |

 | Midnight Adagios [Read More ...]
Review: Enjoyable - but not beddy-bye music:"Midnight Adagios" advertises itself as featuring "over two-and-a-half hours of the world's most relaxing music" and while it is beautiful music it is not particularly relaxing. The dynamic changes from track to track--something I find in all ... |

 | Messiah: The Dream Cast [Read More ...]
Review: Major omission!:This recording is missing "And the Glory of the Lord" !! How can that be? I agree with the others that "For Unto Us a Child is Born" is fast, but it certainly doesn't sound like the Chipmunks. It's been performed fast by others in the past. Conductor's discreti... |
