 | O Holy Night / Luciano Pavarotti / Special Deluxe Edition (Decca) [Read More ...]
Description: This CD is a compilation of (mainly) devotional music sung by Pavarotti when he was in or near his prime, most going back, gloriously, to 1976. Precisely what Orfeo's lament (from the Gluck opera) is doing in a recital called "O Holy Night" is beyond me, but the rest of the sele... |
 | The #1 Opera Album [Read More ...]
Description: The labels that are now gathered under the Universal Classics umbrella have a pretty impressive scorecard in the area of classical compilations. We've seen The Greatest Opera Show on Earth, The Yellow Guide: Classical Music, Best of the Millennium, and now there's The No. 1 Opera... |
 | Dvorák: The Symphonies [Read More ...]
Description: For decades, there were only three complete collections of Dvorák's symphonies: this one; Rowicki's with the same orchestra; and Kubelik's with the Berlin Philharmonic. Kertész offers the most rustic, gutsy interpretations of all. Famous for his dislike of rehearsals, he allows... |
 | Movie Adagios [Read More ...]
Good Peaceful Music:It is good driving music, it is a breath of fresh air in a hectic world. |
 | Rossini - Petit Messe Solonnelle ~ Stabat Mater / Pavarotti, Freni, Lohrenger, Minton, Valentini-Terrani, LSO, Gandolfi, Kertesz [Read More ...]
Review: Petit Messe:lovely piece,uneven performance:The gorgeous Kyrie from the Peit Messe Solonnelle has recently been used to good effect in the film 'Bad Education' prompting me to get to know the piece better and purchase this recording.The whole work is a delight,much lighter in ton... |
 | The Greatest Opera Show on Earth [Read More ...]
Description: This really is a remarkable collection, and anyone even remotely interested in opera is bound to be vastly entertained by it. Almost everything and everyone is here, albeit in small doses: Tebaldi, Pavarotti (a lot), Bjoerling, Bartoli, Sutherland, Solti, Karajan, Troyanos, Gheor... |
 | Evening Adagios [Read More ...]
It's good and all but...:A lot of these tracks on these cds were... poorly recorded. If you hear an alternate, well produced version, the difference is night and day. But if this is your stop, you could do so much worse. It is rather relaxing. |
 | Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 20, 23, 24, 26 & 27 [Read More ...]
Review: Great straightforward Mozart:These recordings predate today's fads of inserting lots of flashy embellishments, inventing new (usually prolix) cadenzas, imitating the limitations of a pianoforte, accellerating tempi, and producing sparkling Mozart Lite. All Curzon delivers is out... |
 | Essential Rossini [Read More ...]
Review: Very Nice, Maybe not Essential:Focusing mainly on Overtures this CD is full of delightful music. Personally I have not graduated to becoming an afficanado of operas so I enjoy these type of CDs a great deal. The performance are all quite good though there are better versions ou... |
 | Bartók: Duke Bluebeard's Castle / Kertész, Ludwig, Berry [Read More ...]
Description: Bartók's lone opera has fared well on disc, and the Kertész is one of the best, even if it lacks the full bite and snap of singers emoting in their native language. Ludwig, a mezzo Judith, is convincing as a loving bride wishing to share her husband's innermost secrets, and Ber... |
 | Romantic Adagios 2 [Read More ...]
Review: It's better than three stars:I certainly cannot add any more than what the previous reviewer stated, but I do have something to say. I have an office job and like to listen to pleasant music while I work. I have listened to this CD quite a few times and have never found it to b... |
 | Super Estrellas de la Opera - Super Stars of Opera (2 CDs) [Read More ...]
Review: Fantastic, A +, gold star:Wow. In the last year I have transformed into an opera Maniac with the help of the cd. It's got all the greats - Pavarotti, Fleming, more Pavarotti - as well as the other greats - Puccini, Mozart, Verdi - compiled to produce the single most inclusive 2... |
 | The Art of Julius Katchen, Vol. 3 [Read More ...]
The Third Volume of "The Art of Julius Katchen" Edition. |
 | Essential Mozart Opera [Read More ...]
Review: a voice teacher and early music fan who LOVES Mozart: OVER TWO AND ONE HALF HOURS OF GLORIOUS MELODIES.
Every piece that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart(1756-1791) wrote bears the mark of the unique genius that caused Haydn to say to Mozart's father,"I declare to you upon my honor that I... |
 | Respighi: Pines of Rome; Fountains Of Rome; The Birds [Australia] [Read More ...]
Review: Pines of Rome:Respighi is one of my favorite composers, and I've heard these pieces many times. Recently I heard this performance of the Pines of Rome on a local classical music station and was struck by its immediacy and freshness. After buying the disc from Amazon and putting... |
 | Dvorák, Requiem; Mass in D [Read More ...]
Review: The most powerful of all requiems:My love for choral music began as a teenager, blown away by a live performance of Verdi's Requiem. I still love the Verdi, and own dozens of recordings of requiems by various composers, but Dvorak's is the best, by far. (In fact, I'm so fond of... |

 | Smetana: Má Vlast; The Bartered Bride - Hakon Jarl; Dvorák: Czech Suite; Prague Waltzes [Read More ...]
Review: A very enjoyable album:There are plenty of great recordings of Ma Vlast. Actually, this one (Walter Weller conducting the Israel Philharmonic) is my favorite, even though Kubelik is a close second and Levine is good too. And there's also a choice I'm almost sure you haven't tho... |
 | Strauss Concertos [Read More ...]
Review: Great Performance: Richard Strauss' concertos date back to his earlier days and one can easily sense the youth and the freshness in these works.True to this concept,the artists featured on this disc have given the listeners a glimpse on the early style of Richard Strauss.The high... |
