Very Relaxing:A nice collection of Mozart arranged and performed as the title says - to relax.

Astralwerks
List price:USD $16.98 Used Price:USD $10.00 Lowest New/Used Price:USD $8.98
Eno's theory of the "discreet music" he called ambient was far from the modern chill-out room: the idea was that it should function at very low volumes, unobtrusively coloring the atmosphere of a room. Evolving by tiny gradations, the long pieces of Music For Airports (the first ... |

Wretched sound, but there are compensations:I may be a lone voice here, but anyone who considers buying this famous video of the Verdi Requiem should be warned that the sound is wretched by any standard, including historical. The acoustic is cavernous, blurring the syllables of ... |

This filmed version of Strauss' shocker features Teresa Stratas as opera's most depraved teenager, and she's as perfect a Salome as one would ever hope to see or hear. Stratas inhabits the role, exploring the character's sensuousness as she vainly woos Jochanaan, her venomous h... |

Seraphim records...:The classical music is, of course, 5 stars. I enjoy the Seraphim price range for educational music CDs. Seraphim never has the greatest fidelity with their CDs, however; but it is definately worth buying. |

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... |
