Venetian Christmas

Gregorian Chant, Giovanni Gabrieli, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2001

Christmas Eve in San Marco, Venice
On the scale of favorite music for the Christmas Season for this listener it is often a toss up among Britten's 'A Ceremony of Carols', carols form the Kings College Chapel, and music composed for the midnight mass on Christmas Eve. This recording by the Gabrieli ...

Sony, 1997

share Ligeti's fascination with mechanical things.
First off, I should inform you that Sony's Ligeti Edition series is being deleted so if you're interested in this stuff, you should pick up the ones you want as soon as you can. Ligeti Edition 5 is a good one. No, it's AWESOME. If you have any interest in "mechanical ...

Gyorgy Ligeti, Pierre-Laurent Aimard

Sony, 1997

Perfect Ligeti.
The own György Ligeti was asked about who was the pianist more complete in his piano works; he talked about Pierre-Laurent Aimard, whose a close relation with the XXth Century music is very well known (Boulez, Messiaen, Berg, Schönberg, Carter...) all around the world. ...

Art of Segovia

Andres Segovia

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

Great Sound Quality; Great Value
The 24-bit remastering of these analog recordings from the 1950s and 60s is outstanding. Both disks are chock-full at almost 80 minutes each, and there are a good many songs you don't hear every day. Forty of the 41 tracks are solos, while a short Rodrigo orchestral ...

Purists look elsewhere... All else, buy now!

The Baroque Album

Jian Wang, Luigi Boccherini, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2003

Wonderful Baroque Cello Offering
First seeing Wang with the Detroit Symphony, I was captivated with his passion for the music and his cello. Learning of his discovery by Stern in China and the subsequent viewing of the video, I wanted more of this young virtuoso. This work combines two musical areas ...

Delightful brihgtness. Real poliphony and counterpoint.

Philippe Jaroussky - Beata Vergine

Giovanni Battista Bassani, Pietro Francesco Cavalli, ...

EMI Classics, 2006

A Showcase CD
Trying to describe Philippe Jaroussky's voice is like trying to find fresh adjective for a vintage wine: butterscotch and vanilla, with plenty of oak and a hint of pear! Describing his technique is more straightforward: perfect pitch control, expressive dynamics from ...

Virgin Classics (Angel Records), 2008

Music that takes you up to heaven.
This recording was made back in 2003. It has taken Virgin Classics nearly 5 years to publish it. The disc features music composed in the first half of the 17th century, mainly Italian music being introduced into France by Cardinal Mazarin. So much for the musical ...

The Segovia Collection, Vol. 4

Wide-ranging, enjoyable performances with some true gems
