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!             Bach: The Brandenburg Concertos Nos. 4-6; Orchestral Suite No.4 Barbara Wilson, Julius Levine, ... Sony, 1990 THE VIRILE, RICH-BLOODED BACH! J. Sebastian Bach was a very virile, full-blooded man who worked all his life, had two wives, and sired about 20 children. Casals' realizations of Bach's music illustrate Bach's virility and vivacity. Casals conducts the Bach Concerti & Suites as he [Casals] plays ...             Schubert: Piano Quintet "Trout"; Mozart: Clarinet Quintet Julius Levine, Leslie Parnas, ... Sony, 1990 The Mozart's great too The Schubert is a terrific blend of energy and intellect. But this version of the Mozart Clarinet Quintet has a timeless quality and poignancy. This is due to Mr. Wright's exceptional yet understated expressiveness and the amazing ensemble of the quartet.

EMI Classics, 1998 Ultimate indeed If you don't like the idea of buying whole operas, or if you're a newcomer to opera - this is an extremely good collection / introduction, worth every single cent.

Emd Int'l, 2007 Amazing Value I am so impressed by this collection that I must share my joy at getting so many beautiful arias, duets, et al in one collection.

If you are enchanted by beautiful ...             Very Best of Placido Domingo EMI Classics, 2003 If you like Placido at all, you must have this CD. Placido Domingo has been around for so long, it is easy to take this great artist for granted. I totally agree with the previous reviews of this album; I can also say that I had the opportunity to hear him live in concert on April 2, 2005 in Biloxi, Mississippi, and ...             The #1 Soprano Album Giacomo Puccini, Leo Delibes, ... Decca, 2002 Gruberova's Extraordinary "Mein Herr Marquis", Sumi Jo's winning "Der hölle Rache" I bought that 2-CD set only for the extraordinary performance of Adele's "Laughing Song" ("Mein Herr Marquis") by Edita Gruberova. It is highly surprising (and inexcusable IMO) that a great label as Universal/Decca wrongly gives it to Kiri Te Kanawa, and that another ...             Aria: A Passion for Opera Tito Gobbi, Georges Bizet, ... EMI Classics, 1994 Always on my CD changer I bought this CD long ago as a neophyte in opera appreciation. I had just seen Turandot and wanted the recording primarily for "Nessun Dorma", which I also love because of its use in the film, "The Killing Fields". But I have also appreciated the exquisite renderings ...             The Essential Placido Domingo Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, ... Sony BMG, 2004 Great for what it is I agree with the previous poster that this does not contain his great dramatic stuff like otello/wagner, but the collection is a beautiful one. There are some great recordings here, and his crossover stuff(maria, Dulcinea, impossible dream) is very interesting. His ...             Schubert: Greatest Hits Julius Levine, Othmar Muller, ...

Decca, 2003 Good choice of tunes and songs This CD contains a good choice of American patriotic tunes and songs. The recording is good and the price is affordable.

However, if you prefer the same tunes and songs played or sung by ...             Copland conducts Copland Julius Levine, Loren Glickman, ... Sony, 1990 Best versions of Appalachian Spring /Billy the Kid! If I had to choose one Copland album over all others in my collection, this would be the one! When I purchased this cd many years ago, I hadn't realized at the time that this was the original, longer version of "Appalachian Spring" for chamber orchestra until I first ...             The Very Best of Alfredo Kraus Frederic Vassar, Sherrill Milnes, ... EMI Classics, 2005 Good survey of Alfred Kraus' work Alfredo Kraus was one of the finer tenors of the latter part of the 20th Century. He was born in 1927. His formal debut was in 1956 and he actually sang into the 1990s, before his death in 1999. This double CD set shows him in a repertoire that runs from Mozart, ...             Beethoven: Symphonies Nos. 7 & 8 Gerald Corey, Milan Turkovic, ... Sony, 1990 Beethoven for the first time Listening to this recording is like discovering well-known music again. The only competetive version of the 7th symhony is Toscanini's old one with the New York Philharmonic (better than the later NBC version) - but the sound is mediocre.
