I listen to it every time my world feels like it's about to spin out of control because I have too much to do and not enough time to do it. Very calming and serene. My 12 year old daughter now knows who Mozart is and can recognize his music on the radio!             Mozart - Die Zauberflote [Blu-ray] Simon Keenlyside, Dorothea Röschmann Opus Arte, 2008 My 1st opera! This is the first opera I have ever listened to in it's entirety. Have never been a fan. But I happened to get the Opus Arte sampler and heard the selection from the Queen of the Night and was so moved I bought the blu-ray version of the entire opera. I am not ...             Beethoven at Bedtime L.V. Beethoven Philips, 1995 Works on my kids I'm purchasing my second copy of the CD. My kids listen to it every night to lull them to sleep - they usually don't make it through the first piece. It is true that some of the music doesn't seem very conducive to sleep, but by the time one hears those selections, ...             Mozart for Your Mind W.a. Mozart Philips, 1995 highly recommended I started listening to this when I had to cram for an exam the other day. I couldn't stop listening to it, and when it came time for the test, I wish my professor could have let me listen to it while I was taking the test! All the pieces are upbeat, while at the same ...             Mozart for Meditation W.a. Mozart Philips, 1995 nice ambient music This series is nice for "background music". Familar classical pieces. A great value when purchased used.             Opera Arias Opera Arias EMI Classics, 1994 italian opera Love it! Has so many of the heart swelling songs from the movies we love!             Mozart - Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) / Keenlyside, Roschmann, Hartmann, Damrau, Selig, Allen, Sir Colin ... Mozart, Simon Keenlyside BBC / Opus Arte, 2003 Deep and amazing This version of the Zauberflöte es, by far, one of the best. It's hard to find a producition, of any opera, with such outstanding elements. First, what has me more excited is that here we have a version of the Magic Flute that goes beyond the naive story for ...             Greatest Htis Beethoven, Bernstein, ... Sony, 1994 DON'T HESITATE TO BUY THIS CD What can I say other than this is a great CD. Beethoven was a master and his music will live forever. Altough I don't like every single symphony he composed, I love all the pieces on this album. These selections have "fire and passion," and I listen to them over and ...             Violin Concerti 1-5 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Raymond Leppard, ... Philips, 1993 So many more than five stars. This album is absolutely flooring. THIS is Mozart. Grumiaux's playing is neither cutesy and fanciful nor forced, as so many renditions of these concertos are. In fact, it falls nowhere on that spectrum at all - these recordings draw from someplace different altogether. ...             Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments Deutsche Grammophon, 2002 Opera's Most Heavenly Moments Indeed I have more experience with other genres of music, but am interested in basically all kinds. I have been collecting CDs for nearly 2 decades but had no Opera in my collection. I did a little research and arrived at a conclusion. If I wanted the most and best Opera ...             Romantic Piano Adagios Romantic Piano Adagios Decca, 2002 All-Star Lineup of Soothing, Inspiring Piano What a collection of piano greats, Ashkenazy, Lupu, Roge, et al, playing the likes of Chopin, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Schurbert, et al. The charm and magic of this is exceptional. Romantic for one or candlelight with someone special. Outstanding!             Haydn: The London Symphonies, Vol. 2 Haydn, Davis, ... Philips, 1994 Excellent, but beware of Davis' groaning Excellent recordings in general, as pointed out by others. But Davis' groaning is very audible and ANNOYING in places. He does the same on most of his more recent LSO recordings. Why do conductors groan/grunt away and spoil their recordings so often? ...             Elgar: Violin Concerto Sir Colin Davis, Staatskapelle Dresden SONY CLASSICS, 2010 Breathtaking! Shortly after this recording was made, I had the opportunity to see Nicolaj play this magnificent piece by Elgar with the BSO and Sir Colin Davis at legendary Symphony Hall in January 2010. It is important to note that Znaider plays the SAME violin which was used by ...             Bset of Edvard Grieg, Raymond Leppard, ... Philips, 1993 Wonderful collection....Plus a superb concerto Like previous reviewers had all said, this is a fine set of CDs to introduce yourself to Grieg. What they failed to state, however, is how fortunate we are to have this particular recording of the piano concerto included among the other works. Why? The ...             Sibelius: The Complete Symphonies 1 Sibelius, Davis, ... Philips, 1995 sublime These two discs contain some of the most gorgeous symphonic music and awesome orchestral playing ever committed to disc. Of Sibelius' seven symphonies, we have here the dark, Tchaikovskian First; the epic, majestic, forlorn Second; the austere, solemn, and noble ...          products you might be interested in   search for classical music beethoven, keenlyside, meditation, relaxation, symphonies, zauberflote      toavi.com    web we recommend Diego and Frida randomly chosen DVD: Hogan's Heroes - The Complete Third Season
