this England!
It is perhaps impossible to hear Vaughan Williams' short works performed more beautifully and unforgettably than in this 1972 ADRM/Argo recording. Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields acquit themselves above reproach. Vaughan Williams - you love ...

Absolutely glorious!
These musical performances are done with consummate artistry. The attack, the phrasing, the tempi, the interpretations are all presented with professionalism and first-rate musicianship. The organ and the setting, as well as choir and director, are associated ...

Decca, 2000
Four decades of excellence
This magnificent Haydn mass was recorded when period performance was still a glint in the eye of authenticists, a half-dozen years before Harnoncourt's original embarassment with Bach's Brandenburg concertos. David Willcocks was among a handful of conductors who ...

Neville Marriner + Christopher Hogwood=Masterpiece of beauty
I "have" this album. My CD, which has worn out, was recorded with just Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music. I, too had read the first review of two years ago. After listening online to excerpts, I conclude that Hogwood greatly influenced this ...

SUBLIME
I resisted buying and then listening to this version of one of my favorite pieces of choral music. Why? Firstly, I already own 2 other fine versions and I thought that a translation into English from German would distort what Bach had wanted. I was wrong: if ...

Simultaneously soothing and inspiring
I've long had some Vivaldi as part of my portable collection of music. Purchasing this set of 5 CDs is my first step towards increasing this collection. I'm particularly enjoying the guitar and cello concertos. For me, this is music that simultaneously soothes ...

Beautiful and underrated Vivaldi
As great as the Four Seasons is, the impression one gets sometimes that it is Vivaldi's only masterpiece is terribly wrong. The concertos from La Cetra are every bit as fine, complex, tuneful, and captivating. These performances by the Academy are superb, with warm ...

Philips, 1994
so HOT, it set my speakers on fire...
I bought this CD from over 30 different choices because of the Philips label; their digital remastering of old stereo recordings is first rate and I expected no less from this recording. Having never heard of the orchestra or the conductor, I was reluctant and unsure ...

YOU WILL LOVE THIS CD!
This is really a wonderful CD. I have heard dozens of recordings of the "Exsultate, jubilate," and this performance is by far the best. Finally, I feel as though I have found "the" performance of this piece! What makes this performance thoroughly enjoyable is the ...

Nice Vivaldi Collection
This collection of Vivaldi Concertos is an excellent purchase for someone who loves "The Four Seasons" and wants to buy a second Vivaldi CD. Conductor Neville Marriner (not Norman Nelson as is indicated above) and the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields turn in first ...
