Monteverdi: Vespro della Beata Vergine 1610/Venetian Vespers

Claudio Monteverdi, Andrew Parrott, ...

EMI Classics, 2000

Let's Compare and Share!
Claudio Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine of 1610 is a monument that straddles the transition from the musical values of the late renaissance and the early baroque like the Colossus of Rhodes, incorporating hugely different elements, from antiphonal chant to ...

Gardiner's Masterpiece
This is the greatest recording Of the greatest work Of the greatest composer That ever was. If I am biased John and Johann have made me so.

Wendy Carlos

East Side Digital, 2001

Fantastic music for relaxation
I loved listening to this when I was growing up. I was very glad to find it on CD. A very nice CD to listen to to relax.

Gabrieli · Monteverdi · Vivaldi - Venetian Church Music / Taverner Consort, Choir & Players · Andrew Parrott

Giovanni Gabrieli, Claudio Monteverdi, ...

EMI Classics, 2001

exceptional tone quality
When I purchased this recording, I had not yet had the pleasure of owning an Andrew Parrott/Taverner Consort recording. I was so impressed! Andrew really excercises an understanding of this genre, an understanding that I haven't often seen. In particular I was quite ...

Music for Organ, Brass & Percussion

Andre Campra, Jeremiah Clarke, ...

Telarc, 1990

Simply Superb!
It's hard to fathom the restraint of some of the prior reviewers' praise of this CD. As you would expect from any Telarc "fully digital" recording, the overall sonic impact is gratifyingly dynamic, and the performances are impeccable. Moreover, many supremely masterful ...

Switched-On Boxed Set

Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederick Handel, ...

East Side Digital, 1999

A few thoughts on the SOBoxed....
I just happened upon this set of reviews on Amazon (although I had reviewed the original SOB separately years ago), and was delighted at the multitude of very favorable reviews by others. But then came the weeds amongst the fruit, namely those few reviews by people who ...

Mozart: Great Mass in C minor /McNair * Montague * Rolfe Johnson * Hauptmann * English Baroque Soloists * ...

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, John Eliot Gardiner, ...

Philips, 1990

Among the Finest of the Available Recordings
Mozart's MASS IN C MINOR K 427 can be a mixed bag if not under the hands of the right conductor. The work itself is spotty with elements of radiant, exalting beauty along side some (pardon the thought) filler: Mozart himself was aware of this, as the work is ...

Juliian Bream Ultimate Guitar Collection

Mateo Albeniz, Francis Cutting, ...

RCA, 1999

One well worth the price of two
This two cd set is an odd juxtaposition. The first cd consists of a sampler of Bream's career output - but without (and I believe the omission is disgraceful) any acknowledgement of Bream's significant contribution toward the creation of a truly 20th century concert ...

For Thy Pleasure

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ramiro Belgardt, ...

Delos Records, 1996

For Thy Pleasure: Yeap, It is Very Enjoyable
For the first time, I listened to LAGQ from Vermont Public Radio while I came back home. After listening to "Little Fugue In G Minor", I could not get it out of my mind. I like the original version of Bach's organ music but the LAGQ version gave me a different feeling ...

Angel Records, 2007

Back Again on Create TV: Classical Destinations
This 2 disc set contains audio selections from the popular TV series, new appearing on PBS Digital Channel 3 (Create TV). The series opens with an original violin concert piece composed by Paul Terracini, played by Niki Vasilakis. It is a haunting theme.

Early Music Festival / David Munrow, Early Music Consort

Francesco Landini, Anonymous, ...

Decca, 1998

Ahh, Florence!!
Italian culture during the period from the 14th to the 16th centuries was a whirlwind of developing literature and art, and during this period of history Florence was a political and cultural center to rival Milan or Verona. I love medieval and renaissance music. ...

Simply the Best Classical Anthems

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Erato, 2000

Great Sampler!
This is a good sampler, since it covers what you would want in a classical music CD. Looking at the tracks, it has the classic hits, such as "Ride of the Valkyries," "Toccata and Fugue," "Fanfare for the Common Man," "'Jupiter' from `The Planets,'" "Eine Klein ...

Chanticleer: Magnificat (A Capella Works by Josquin, Palestrina, Titov, Victoria, and Others)

Chanticleer, William Cornysh, ...

Teldec, 2000

Gorgeous choral voices surrounding you
I hesitated to buy this disc until a friend told me he knew one of the members of Chanticleer; then again I also had nothing like it in my collection. The sound is rich and resonant. You should know it is recorded realistically, in a variety of soundfields, i.e. ...
