 | Romance of the Violin [Read More ...]
Description: Every track on this CD contains a beautiful melody, many of them easily recognizable, all of them exuding tranquility. "O mio babbino caro" from Puccini's Gianni Schicchi opens the disc, with Bell delicately accompanied by a harp and spinning the long melody with great sensitivit... |
 | Ultimate Classical Christmas Album of All Time [Read More ...]
Review: Breathtakingly beautiful!:Over and over we played "Die Menge der Engel" - - it is stunningly beautiful! The loftiness of the voices, wonderful.

 | Gabrieli · Monteverdi · Vivaldi - Venetian Church Music / Taverner Consort, Choir & Players · Andrew Parrott [Read More ...]
Review: Excellent compilation:An excellent compilation of early church music performed beautifully by the Taverner Consort, Choir, and Players, and conducted by Andrew Parrott. The recording is clear and the sound well balanced. It is also an exceptional value - 30 tracts (2 1/2 hours ... |
 | For Thy Pleasure [Read More ...]
Baroque style classics:The title, "For Thy Pleasure" is very apt. I had to pass it along to our pastor and his wife, they also have been delighted with this CD.
LAGQ is the best. |
 | Switched-On Boxed Set [Read More ...]
Description: In 1968, keyboardist-composer Wendy Carlos released Switched-On Bach, her bestselling LP featuring baroque music performed on the Moog synthesizer. Carlos intended to spread the gospel of electronic classical music through this quirky release; instead, she sold more albums than ... |
 | Lamenti [Read More ...]
Description: Emmanuelle Haïm follows her acclaimed 2006 recording of Monteverdi's Combattimento with an unusual and inventive program on the theme of the lamento, a literary and dramatic form that found its 17th-century musical archetype in Monteverdi's celebrated Lamento d'Arianna. Emmanu... |
 | Chanticleer: Magnificat (A Capella Works by Josquin, Palestrina, Titov, Victoria, and Others) [Read More ...]
Description: In the wake of its previous, Grammy-winning disc of contemporary madrigals (Colors of Love), the all-male a cappella ensemble that calls itself Chanticleer--in homage to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales --comes home to roost in this theme album of early music. After all, this is th... |
 | The London Trombone Sound [Read More ...]
Description: Cala once again brings you some of the finest orchestral musicians in London; this time the focus is on the trombone section. With outstanding arrangements by Eric Crees, principal trombone of the London Symphony Orchestra, this disc represents the ultimate showcase for this vers... |
 | Canadian Brass: Legends [Read More ...]

 | Renaissance: Music For Inner Peace [Read More ...]
Description: This new release is somewhat mistitled: while most of the pieces are, in fact, from the Renaissance (or early Baroque), there are works here also by Samuel Barber, Poulenc, John Tavener, Bruckne,r and Gorecki. What they all have in common is their beauty and serenity. Perhaps the... | |

 | Monteverdi: Vespro della Beata Vergine 1610/Venetian Vespers [Read More ...]
Review: Let's Compare and Share!:Claudio Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine of 1610 is a monument that straddles the transition from the musical values of the late renaissance and the early baroque like the Colossus of Rhodes, incorporating hugely different elements, from antiphonal... |
 | Monteverdi - Vespers of 1610 (Vespro della Beata Vergine) / Chandler, R. Croft, Atkinson, Numura, Boston Baroque, Pearlman [Read More ...]
Description: This performance of Monteverdi's extraordinary collection of sacred music, which received a 1999 Grammy nomination, has its good points, but it can't really be considered best even in its class. Martin Pearlman leads a relatively large-scale performance, using a 30-member chorus ... |

 | Agnus Dei II: Music to soothe the soul [Read More ...]
Description: Building on the enormous success of the first Agnus Dei disc, its successor offers more of the same musical mood, but with a few surprises too. One of the hits of the first album was John Cameron's arrangement of Elgar's Nimrod, using the words of the Lux Aeterna. Here he really ... |
 | A Baroque Christmas [Read More ...]
Review: A warm, joyful baroque Christmas celebration:The beautiful, varied, and well-chosen repertoire on this disc will keep you returning to it season after season. We start with a 17th-cantury French NOEL, lovingly and simply rendered a cappella by Richard Duguay. There follow some mo... |
 | The Art of Fritz Wunderlich [Read More ...]
Review: Correction:Now folks, both of what the two other reviewers wrote about the tragical death of Fritz Wunderlich is wrong. Wunderlich died in hospital at September 17 1966. He had broken his skull, when he fell down the stairs in the hunting-house of a friend. Late in the evening of... |
