David Oistrakh: The Complete EMI Recordings

Joseph Stidel, Mstislav Rostropovich, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Oistrakh Jubilee
A violinist's violinist who was simultaneously adored by the general public. EMI presents in one compilation the entire recorded legacy of David Oistrakh. I simply wanted to list the works and co-performers in this collection. The recordings really do not need any ...

The Complete EMI Recordings

Jacqueline du Pré, William Pleeth, ...

EMI Classics, 2007

A Fitting Memorial to a Great Artist -- and an Astonishing Bargain
That Jacqueline du Pré was a great musician, as well as an extraordinarily courageous human being, is beyond dispute. Though her recorded legacy, most of which is included in this inexpensive box, tends to be uneven, given the circumstances of a career tragically cut ...

Brahms: Complete Trios

Bernard Greenhouse, George Pieterson, ...

Philips, 1993

Excellent, delightful
This set is a treat for any Brahms lover. Excellent performance, elegance, depth and profound understanding. True Brahms !!!

Brahms at Bedtime: A Sleepytime Serenade

Janos Starker, Julian Lloyd Webber, ...

Philips, 1996

A good choice for quiet time and nap.
This is one of my favorite nap and quiet time choices. It is very mellow and soothing. My three year old frequently falls asleep listening to it, and even turns it on again for herself if she wakes up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep!

The Essential Yo-Yo Ma

Edgar Meyer, Hector Console, ...

Sony, 2005

pure genius
No instrument asks more from the soul of an artist as the cello does. Yo Yo Ma shows to be master of the instrument and his interpretations en technique are pure genius. Everyone should have this album in his (or hers of course) basic classical collection

Brahms: Complete Piano Quartets

Bernard Greenhouse, Johannes Brahms, ...

Philips, 1996

An older recording, but still amazing
This collection of Brahms' piano quartets are a great listen all around. Every quartet has an enormous power and beauty to it. I like to say about Brahms' music that it is airtight. There is never a wasted note. Every bit of melody, every nuance and texture in the ...

Brahms: Complete String Quartets, Quintets & Sextets

Karl Leister, Johannes Brahms, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2003

Mastery and joy
Because they lasted such a long time and toward the end didn't play at their best, I found reasons to overlook the Madeus Qt. But in this 9-CD set of the complete chamber music of Brahms, there are some sublime performances--I would especially point to both String ...

Jacqueline du Pré - a lasting inspiration

Antonin Dvorak, Franz Joseph Haydn, ...

EMI Classics, 1999

99% perspiration
(4.5/5 stars) This is a two-disc collection of musical works, in which the great cellist Jacqueline du Pre plays. The first disc consists of three cello concerti by three different composers: Dvorak (Romantic), Haydn (Classical) and Elgar (Romantic). Very good music, ...

Most Relaxing Classical Piano Music in the Universe

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Denon Records, 2004

Solid collection of piano favorites
If you can gag your way past the album title, this is a most pleasant collection of beloved classical piano pieces that actually is relaxing, I suppose.

Brahms: Piano Trios Nos. 1 & 2

Eroica Trio, Johannes Brahms

Angel Records, 2002

HEARTBREAKING, BREATHTAKING BRAHMS
Not since Nigel Kennedy's recording of the Brahms Violin Concerto have I been moved to tears by a performance. The Eroica Trio, living up to its name, is truly "heroic" in its fearless, unabashed, resounding romantic fervor, heady emotional sweep, exceptional ...

Music for Thinking

Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, ...

Advanced Brain Techno, 2000

Music for Thinking
Music for Thinking should be considered a MUST HAVE!! The recordings are beautiful, and can be played continuosly in the backgroung while you are writing, reading, or studying. I find Music for Thinking to be VERY effective and can be played all day long. I use this ...

Brahms for Book Lovers: A Cozy Companion for Reading

George Pieterson, Herbert Stahr, ...

Philips, 1998

Lyrical...Passionate...Tender
Brahms was a somber, yet tender and sensitive spirit. All of the works of this CD are a testament to that fact. He is one of the great Chamber Music composers in history. At first you may think this is a background music CD; and of course, you can use this CD for ...

The Most Relaxing Chamber Music Album in the World ... Ever!

David Geringas, Frederic Lodeon, ...

Angel Records, 2005

Indeed relaxing
We live in a very hectic world and we as humans need to take time to relax. The soothing sounds of Chamber Music is just what the doctor ordered. Coupled with a good book, or just before bed, and the hours kind of just drift away. Sample the sounds online, if this ...

Brahms: Piano Trios Nos. 1, 2 & 3; Piano Quartets Nos. 1, 2 & 3

Leonard Rose, Johannes Brahms, ...

Sony, 1995

Brilliant Recording, Excellent Deal
This album is by far the most crisply recorded, lusciously played, and reasonably priced of all recordings of Brahms' chamber music. There is a 2-CD version with just the quartets for marginally less, but this is the one to get. There's plenty written about the recent ...

Pablo Casals: Festivals at Prades Vol. 1

de Los Angeles, Horszowski, ...

Music & Arts Program, 2003

Treasure!
When I first heard this set, I thought to myself: now I know how Howard Carter felt when he looked for the first time into Tutankhamen's newly-excavated tomb. Maybe you know the story: As his colleagues broke the seal on the long-undiscovered tomb's final door, Carter ...
