Bach: The 6 Unaccompanied Cello Suites
Yo-Yo Ma, Johann Sebastian Bach
Sony, 2006
Fabulous Yo-Yo-Ma
Mix this CD with one reasonably good glass of wine and a decent hi-fi and you have the makings of a relaxing and wonderful evening! If you purchase only one Yo-Yo-Ma CD--make it this one! Enjoy!!

Bach: Cello Suites
Pablo Casals, Johann Sebastian Bach
EMI Classics, 2003
Great recordings in good transfers: EMI and Opus Kura
I have both this remastered EMI transfer and the Japanese Opus Kura CD set, so I do not think I am destroying anyone's business by my short comment. Neither I want to deprive anyone of the joy of listening to Casals' Bach in either transfer. If you already have a CD ...

Josh Groban
Reprise / Wea, 2001
Years after its release, still a favorite
Several years ago I was driving into work late at night and heard this most beautiful voice on the radio. I took note of the name and later the next day looked up this "Josh Groban" on the internet. I thought for sure it was some tenor I had somehow overlooked in all ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2010
Superb recording featuring some of the best musicians today
It was Hilary Hahn's idea to create this unique concept album that juxtaposes violin and voice in a set of widely varied Bach arias and duets with solo violin. There is no questioning the credentials of these fine musicians, particularly in the realm of Bach ...

The entire family loves this CD
From 4 years old to 40 years old, each of us enjoys Beethoven's Wig. We have #1 and #2 and I could not tell you which the kids enjoy more - but I do have a slight preference for #1. I'm online now getting ready to purchase #3 and #4 will be for Christmas. I'm also ...

The music on this album is very well done. Amazon's description was sketchy and after receiving the album I realized I already owned it. Fortunately I have friends that would appreciate it so it will make a wonderful gift.

A Great Deal
I have been enjoying this recording immensely. It has 33 well-known pieces played by well-known artists. The music is wonderful background for "quiet time" activities. For the price, this recording is an absolute bargain, and it makes a great gift.

Sony, 2002
Great performances! Great packaging!
This was such a good idea: Take Gould's 1955 & 1981 versions of the Goldberg Variation and include them in a single set along with a nice bonus CD which contains an lengthy interview with Gould. The packaging here is first rate as is the remastered sound. These ...

Bach
Surely you don't need me to review the guy. You know who he is, you've heard his music, and I hope you own some. So let me turn the podium over to a cat named Picasso, and you can read into that whatever you wish. She's in a chair, near the CD player. She has entered ...
