The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe

Johann Pachelbel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

Denon Records, 2003

Relaxing Classical Music
I was not really a classical music fan but I am now. I purchased this cd for my 14 year old grand-daughter, not knowing we would both enjoy the music so much. She has always enjoyed classical music along with all of the other teen music, rap, rock, country, etc. ...

Classics for Kids

Martin Hoherman, Georges Bizet, ...

RCA, 1993

Great for Preschool Children
I use this CD with my preschool music group. The kids love it! This CD enables children learn about classical music without over extending their attention spans.

Vox (Classical), 1996

Bought this product for my grandchild to introduce him to classical music. It was perfect. Thanks

At The Movies

John Barry, Frank Churchill, ...

Denon Records, 2004

Movie Themes with a Classical Twist
What's not to like about a good song from a good movie? All the classic movie themes (i.e., Titanic, Zorba the Greek, etc.) are here but played by a full orchestra. I considered this approach to modern music a true and distinct pleasure and a nice break from the ...

The Most Relaxing Harp Album in the World... Ever!

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Angel Records, 2005

Harp Music
Animal behaviorists have done some studies showing harp music is good at calming animals, especially cats. My cat was very skittish and unhappy as a result of very loud construction work next door and all other efforts to calm her down had not been totally successful. ...

The Most Relaxing Classical Album In the World Ever, Volume II

Yehudi Menuhin, Jacqueline Du Pre, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Great music listein to while you read in bed
I have listened to this CD for the last several years before going to sleep at night. I love classical music, and this is great music to help make my soul feel at peace and unwind after a taxing day.

Prokofiev, Ravel: Piano Concertos, etc / Martha Argerich

Sergey Prokofiev, Maurice Ravel, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

The young Argerich--fresh and completely without affectation
The few complainers about this famous recording have slipped fra down the list here at Amazon, and what's striking is that the things they hate about Argerich (mannered phrasing, overly aggressive attack, rushing, banging) are the very things we don't get here. Ms. ...

Amparo

Edward Meares, Cecilia Tsan, ...

Decca, 2008

Smooth and Warm
It's autumn and you and a loved one are on the back porch, sitting together in shorts and a sweatshirt. Somewhere out in front of you a river winds by. You each have a cup of hot chocolate, and a good book, which you enjoy while leaning up against each other. It's ...

Debut Recital / Martha Argerich

Johannes Brahms, Frederic Chopin, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

WOW! Absolutely stunning!
I just bought this disc and was blown away by it. It was everything I thought it would be and then some. It has to be one of the great piano recital CDs of all time. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with this.

Ravel: Boléro

Maurice Ravel, Charles Dutoit, ...

Decca, 1999

Simply wonderful!
If you are a music buff like myself ( and I do like all kinds of music ), than what's not to like about The Boléro, by Ravel? And I don't buy into that hog-wash of a story that Ravel wrote this piece in the beginning of dementia...gimmie a break and give that man ...

Ravel: Greatest Hits

Maurice Ravel, Andrew Litton, ...

Sony, 1994

Bolero aside, sheer perfection
I do not like Bolero. I have never liked Bolero. I don't think I will ever enjoy Bolero. I say this only to offer a reason for my lack of mention of that piece (beyond this, obviously). In fairness, Ravel at least once described Bolero as trivial, "a piece for ...

Ravel: Piano Works

Maurice Ravel, Denise-Francoise Roge, ...

Decca, 1994

Beautiful Works, Excellent Performance
Together with the 2CD set of Debussy's piano works, these two albums are master recordings of the finest impressionist piano music. Pascal Roge has an astonishing control of the sound of the piano, and can bring out a beautiful palette of various tone colours and ...

25 Classical Dance Favorites

Ludwig van Beethoven, Alexander Borodin, ...

Vox (Classical), 1997

Wonderful selection, but not really dancing music
I agree that this is indeed absolutely beautiful light classical music. It is indeed a perfect beginning to a lifelong passion to have classical music playing in the background or to turn up the volume and immerse yourself in it. But it consists of mostly ballet ...

Ravel: Piano Concerto in G; Rachmaninov: Piano Concerto No. 4

Sergey Rachmaninov, Maurice Ravel, ...

EMI Classics, 2000

Michelangeli at His Best
One of my favorite albums has always been the Ravel Concertos with Argerich playing the G maj Concerto and Beroff play the Concerto in D. I still think this disc is unmatched when it comes to an album with both concertos. I've always loved the Argerich and always ...
