Michael Kamen

Georges Bizet, Bryan Adams / Michael Kamen / Robert John Lange, ...

Universal Int'l, 2007

bella voce
This is a beautiful album with popular and operatic favourites. The standout track is the Flower duet from Lakme, where Katherine is joined by Dame Kiri te Kanawa, who sounds amazing at 64 years of age!

Opera Band

Georges Bizet, Antonin Dvorak, ...

RCA Victor, 2004

Amici going from strength to strength
AMICI FOREVER ARE THE ORIGINAL OPERA BAND - all others are just 'pretenders to the title'. I have just read the review by Bob - to clarify this Special Edition is the same as the original version with a couple of added extra tracks - hence Special Edition so there ...

The Opera Band

Georges Bizet, Antonin Dvorak, ...

RCA Victor, 2004

Definitive
Beautiful! Even friends who've never cared for opera love this one. A tonic at the end of a grueling day, a weekend afternoon introspective, a late-night lead-in to a flight of dreams ... a whisper of angels.

The Telarc Collection, Volume 10
Alessandro Corbelli, Richard Suart, ...

Telarc, 1994

Pavarotti & Friends 2

Bryan Adams, Eduardo di Capua, ...

Decca, 1995

Fun
This is a fun CD with many great singers and a good one. Of Course Pavarotti is one of the greatest voices ever; and along with Bocelli, Nancy Gustafson and Giorgia this CD is filled with great singing and Brian Adams is a good singer. Its just fun to hear Adams ...

Henry Mancini -The Ultimate Collection

Harold / Mercer, Johnny Arlen, Burt Bacharach, ...

Bmg Int'l, 1995

Too Good to Last
I heard this on PBS. Galway and Mancini may be two of the most talented musicians of our century. Galway for his complete mastery of the flute and Mancini for his ability to arrange , produce and in this instance direct the orchestra while Galway performs. They do ...

katherine Jenkins - Live in the Park

Universal France, 2008

Katherine Jenkins
I fell in love with Hayley Westenra and Celtic Woman. I was looking for another artist who sang that type of music. In this I was very disappointed. Hayley's voice is so clear, Katherine sounded very muddy in comparison.

Kamen: The New Moon in the Old Moon's Arms

David Hardy, Michael Kamen, ...

Decca, 2001

The Memory That Outlasts the Years
Let me make it clear--if you want an objective or "expert" review, seek elsewhere, because this won't be it. Rather, this is a very emotional reflection upon the music, its composer, and the value it holds to me. I had the chance to observe Michael Kamen on his ...

Together for the Children of Bosnia

Nenad Bach, Saturnino / Cherubini, Lorenzo Celani, ...

Decca, 1996

Great album, worthy cause.
A wonderful concert for a wonderful cause. The previous reviewer only gave it 4 stars because he said there were too many different styles of music. Well, that's the whole point. It is the music community, regardless of genre, getting together to raise funds to build a ...

Rejoice

Gary Barlow, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Universal Import, 2007

Move aside Sarah Brightman
I first heard Katarine Jenkins voice on an airplane audio system enroute to Africa in May. I was mesmerized with the beauty of her sound. When in Africa, I met several couples from the UK and asked them if they knew of his British singer named Katarine Jenkins.....to ...

Forever in Love

Johann Sebastian Bach, Joseph Barnby, ...

Compendia, 1997

A wedding minister's review
I just love this album. I am a wedding minister and many couples ask me about music for their ceremony. I am happy to recommend they buy this album for a wonderful selection of wedding music both traditional and contemporary performed by orchestras, keyboardists, ...

Complete Wedding Album

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Bci / Eclipse Music, 2002

The best in smooth orchestra wedding songs
This cd is suited for people like myself who want smooth sounding orchesta wedding songs instead of loud thunderous ones. In my opinion it is one of the best wedding cd's I have heard. I paid twice as much for other cd's that did not suit all of my needs. I wish I ...

Amazing Brass
Johann Sebastian Bach, Ernie Burnett, ...

Opening Day Entertainment Group, 2007

Vienna Horns

Aaron Copland, James Horner, ...

Preiser Records, 2007

Amazing CD
This CD is more than comparable to the "London Horn Sound" and "Take 9." Horn players everywhere will debate which is the best. But in my personal opinion, I'd have to say that the Vienna Horns really shut out London and New York Phil and American Quartet on this ...
