 | The Most Relaxing Classical Album In the World Ever, Volume II [Read More ...]
The Most RElaxing Classical Albumn, Vol II.:The selections chosen are, for the most part, to my taste, but the volume is comprised of fewer supurb selections, such as those masterpieces by Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart that were found in Vol. I. |
 | Wagner: Overtures & Preludes [Read More ...]
Review: A musician's musician:Boult was highly underrated. Not a flashy celebrity, but a solid musician in the best possible sense. Like Barbara Stanwyck he was perhaps "not great" but he also "never gave a bad performance". Like Mozart's Susanna says of Cherubino, he did well anythin... |
 | Wagner: Tristan und Isolde/Parsifal/Die Meistersinger Von Nürnberg/Lohengrin/Tannhäuser [Read More ...]
Review: Highest Recommendation Possible:I have been ravenously studying classical music for about the last two years non stop. It has been a fantastic voyage. Out of everything by everyone, to me, this is among the very best CDs. The music is beautiful, mighty and majestic. On top of... |
 | Vaughan Williams, The Complete Symphonies [Read More ...]
Description: Adrian Boult's credentials in this repertoire are unassailable, and to have nearly all his stereo Vaughan Williams recordings for EMI so elegantly packaged and enticingly priced will be incentive enough for many a prospective purchaser. There's much to treasure here, not least th... |
 | Classic Chillout, Vol. 2 [Read More ...]
Instrumental Chill Out of the Classical Variety, Not of the Dancefloor. Chill Baby! |
 | Michael Rabin, 1936-1972 [Read More ...]
Review: In presence of a giant of violin!:In 1972, with just 36 years of fertile and creative existence, thanks to a brilliant and promissory career as virtuosi and sensitive musician, the fate decided for Michael Rabin, he walked other paths.
His level of interpretative excellence, dic... |

 | Euphoric Classics: A Classical High [Read More ...]
Review: Surprisingly good.:I bought this album because it had some favorites of mine and what looked to be an interesting composition of titles. It wasn't until I sat down to listen to it, did I fully realize how masterfully it had been put together. Most of the artists on here are well ... |
 | Mozart: Popular Music from Film [Read More ...]
Review: MUSIC TO OUR EARS!:The tribute to the 250th anniversary of Wolfgang's birth continues, and this two-disc set is perfect for those who want to like classical music and insist they can't. The 34 tracks sound familiar because they have been used in popular films, either as incidenta... |
 | Classical Heartbreakers [Read More ...]
Review: a terrific compilation for beginners:I agree with P. Grupe-for classical music lovers, it is a let down to listen to cut tracks of well-performed classical greats, like Chopin's 1st piano concerto in this collection. Nonetheless, this is a terrific compilation for people beginnin... |
 | Pure Cinema Classics [Read More ...]
Review: A great collection:This is a really fabulous collections of songs. There is a great balance of old and new. This isn't a collection from one single genre and the diversity keeps the mix interesting. It's great to hear songs that wouldn't normally be noticed while a movie is pl... |

 | The Best Classical Album in the World... Ever! [Read More ...]
Review: Forget what they SAY:Many of these prior reviewers complain that the abundance of operas and vocals degrate this compilation. They don't know what they're talking about. These genres are what made Classical music popular in it's age. In that era the forum for showcasing "classi... |
 | Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius - The Music Makers / Gedda, Watts, Lloyd, Baker; Boult [Read More ...]
Description: Elgar's Dream of Gerontius is, in effect, a sung tone poem and resides at the core of English choral music; it is the supreme achievement among Elgar's large-scale works. Interestingly, its premiere came in the last months of the 19th century, a time, much like our own, when fluc... |

 | The Art of Joan Sutherland [Read More ...]
Review: Invaluable Sutherland Collection:This is my favorite Sutherland collection. It has so much from so many periods. The bits from The French Opera Gala are beyond belief. It is some of the best coloratura she ever did and was recorded at a great part of her career. Both the Wagner a... |
