English Music for Viola
Paul Coletti, Leslie Howard

Hyperion UK, 2001

First-class recordings of musical gems for viola and piano
This CD was initially recorded in 1993 and was reissued in 2001. That is fortunate for those of us who missed it the first time around, for Paul Coletti has produced one of the finest recorded examples of viola playing to be found. Coupled with the sensitive and ...

Brainwave Symphony
Giuseppe Matteo Alberti, Tomaso Albinoni, ...

Relaxation, 2003

Took a nap during labor
I used the first CD in this collection (Alpha) to assist me during the labor and delivery of our daughter. I put it on our ipod and listened to it over and over during the labor process. I actually managed a light nap during active labor and had very little pain ...
  
  











  



  
Classical Music for Sleep
Tomaso Albinoni, Samuel Barber, ...

Relaxation, 2001

Up at Night, Nevermore...
Bought a couple of this company's sleep CDs years ago, and was delighted to see these four new ones. I love classical music, if I just want to wind down, sip coffee with my wife in the morning, or use it to help me get to sleep, these will always give me the intended ...
  
  











  



  
English String Miniatures Vol. 2
Frank Bridge, Geoffrey Bush, ...

Naxos, 2001

A worthy follow up to last year's first volume...
I've loved music for strings ever since I first heard Tchaikovsky's "Serenade for Strings". The English too know how to compose works for string orchestra and they did so often: this is Naxos' fourth disc of English music for strings and the second in the "English ...
  
  











  



  
Instruments of the Orchestra
Various Artists

Naxos, 2002

Very Informative and Enjoyable
Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes ...
  
  











  



  
Britten: Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge; The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra
Benjamin Britten, Steuart Bedford, ...

Naxos, 2005

Superb Recordings of Two Britten Standards & Two Rare Items
At the time of this review the headnote of this listing does not, unfortunately, include the two rarities recorded on this CD: Britten's 'Occasional Overture' and 'Prelude and Fugue For 18-Part String Orchestra.' More about them later. The two 'big' pieces here are ...
  
  











  



  
Arleen Auger - Love Songs / Dalton Baldwin
Frank Bridge, Benjamin Britten, ...

Delos Records, 1992

Hidden Treasure
This recording is possibly one of the best examples of beautiful singing one will ever find. The repertoire, the artfulness, the line and the sheer beauty of Miss Auger's voice is a rare find. I've just recently purchased another copy as I loaned mine to a friend who ...
  
  











  



  
A Tribute
Anonymous, Johannes Brahms, ...

Decca, 2003

It may take you a little time to love her voice
Kathleen Ferrier has one of the most instantly recognizable voices in music. And it's a voice that might take you time to love. As an eight year old I heard her version of Blow the Wind Southerly many times on British radio and intensely disliked it. I wasn't sure ...
  
  











  



  
Children's Cello
Steven Isserlis, Amy Beach, ...

Bis, 2006

A DELIGHT
What a lucky little boy Steven Isserlis's son must be. His father is a leading cellist in the world and is good friends with a leading pianist of the world (Stephen Hough).The aforesaid two musicians are well known as a splendid chamber music team! Obviously ...
  
  











  



  
The Music of Alan Shulman
Shulman, Vardi, ...

Bridge, 2002

This CD presents rarely heard music of Alan Shulman in performances by one of the country's great orchestras- the NBC Symphony Orchestra. Like the music of his contemporaries- Morton Gould and Leonard Bernstein, Alan Shulman's music reflects the "gritty, urban style" popular in New York in the `40s and `50s. None of Shulman's orchestral works ...
  
  











  



  
Dweller in My Deathless Dream

Arleen Augér - American Soprano
George Frideric Handel, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Delos Records, 2000

Be warned!
My copy did not have the works by Heitor Villa-Lobos. The first disk in the set is Delos 3026, "Bach, Handel: Arias," which includes two selections from Alexander's Feast and "He Shall Feed His Flock" from the Messiah. I am not disappointed. Ms. Auger sings ...
  
  











  



  
The Willis Organ at Salisbury Cathedral
Johannes Brahms, Frank Bridge, ...

Telarc, 1990

Fanfares a blaze...
This is a wonderful CD. The Salisbury Organ is in the very capable hands of Organist, Michael Murray. Not only does the CD demonstrate for us the great qualities of the Tuba Mirabilis and 32' Ophicleide, but also the soft string sounds of the organ. A definite must ...
