Bach: Brandenburg Concertos No. 1-4; Neville Marriner; Academy of St. Martin in the Fields

Johann Sebastian Bach, Sir Neville Marriner, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

Easy to Enjoy
I am not a musician nor can I identify Bach's Brandenburg Concerto number one from number five. However, I am an avid listener and do enjoy classical music. I know how good the Academy of St Martin in the Fields is and what a great conductor Sir Neville Marriner is. ...

Johann Sebastian Bach, Léo Delibes, ...

Angel Records, 1999

Good for relaxing pregnant women
I stumbled onto this album whilst searching bit torrent websites for classical music. I don't normally listen to classical music but thought it might be relaxing for my pregnant wife. After hearing the quality of the performances, the arrangement, and the recording I ...

Mozart: The Great Piano Concertos, Vol. 1

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Neville Marriner, ...

Philips, 1994

Brendel and Marriner play Mozart at a bargain price
Philip's two double-CD sets of Alfred Brendel and Neville Marriner performing a total of ten of Mozart's great piano concertos, plus two rondos for piano and orchestra, must rate as one of the best of many bargains available in their "2 for 1" series. The four CDs add ...

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

Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

EMI Classics, 2001

Beautiful piano music!
This is simply an exquisite collection of beautiful piano pieces. I am very satisfied with this purchase. I can read while listening to this music-call it background music...maybe, but even when you're doing something else-the music is there...it does not intrude, but ...

Fritz Dolezal, Franklin Cohen, ...

Decca, 2001

Pretty good
I am not much into classical music.. Read about Mozart and wanted to make sure I listen to one of the all time classics. Though I may not be qualified enough to review a classic, On a whole it was a pleasant experience for me and a good add on to my car, especially ...

Mozart for Meditation

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Colin Davis, ...

Philips, 1995

Excellent for Massage!
I'm a licensed massage therapist, and I absolutely adore using this CD during my sessions! It's a great alternative to the new age-y music styles that are so pervasive in the relaxation music scene -- my clients find this CD soothing & relaxing, and not at all ...

Mozart: Horn Concertos Nos. 1-4

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Neville Marriner, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Best Tuckwell version!
After years of searching for my favorite version of the Horn concertos I found this one thanks to the recommendation of the penguin guide (they're good for some things y'know). I've heard about a dozen versions and never settled on any of them (even the Brain and ...

Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces

Essential Guitar: 34 Gtr Masterpieces

Decca, 2002

Two-and-a-half hours of bliss
This may be the best money I've ever spent. I got 2-1/2 hours of bliss for less than what I'd usually pay for one CD -- and you know how it is with music. You buy an album because of a song or two that you love, and you find that you like maybe half the songs on it. ...

Chopin Edition: Complete Works (17 CD Box Set)

Frédéric Chopin, Sir Neville Marriner, ...

Brilliant Classics, 2007

Brilliant Classics does it again
For some unfathomable reason, pianists love to mutilate Chopin's music more than any other composer's in the piano repertoire. It almost seems like a parlor game to see who can come up with the most foreign interpretation. Tempos get warped, dynamics are modified, ...

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

Yehudi Menuhin, Jacqueline Du Pre, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

A must buy for the non-snobbish classical music fan.
I bought Vol. 1 of this series and was quite satisfied, but I have to say I'm more than satisfied with this one. If you can just mellow out and enjoy some great pieces, you'll love this CD. #15 on Disc 2 is almost worth the price alone!

Mozart: Flute Concertos; Concerto for Flute & Harp

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Neville Marriner, ...

RCA, 2004

Great Galway
To my knowledge Galway has recorded these pieces twice; once here with Marriner/ASMIF an once with the LSO. This Marriner performance outdoes the LSO performance by a hair because Marriner put a light under the orchestra's fanny and made the ASMIF call and respond to ...

Mozart: Requiem / McNair, Watkinson, Araiza, Lloyd; Marriner

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, ...

Philips, 1991

The Great Middle-of-the-Road Version
This a wonderful recording for those who want to get a THE recording of Mozart's Requiem. Marriner doesn't try to elevate the authentic Mozart movements from Sussmayr's, and so the feel is very balanced. Unlike many other versions/recordings, this one is especially ...

Bach for Babies

Marc Johnson [double bass], Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Philips, 1999

Classical, Jazz and Opera Bach all in one
This is a versatile collection in terms of composition, performance and layout. Comparing to most of CD with classical selections for baby, this edition is more nutritious and rich on musical experience. Genre wise, the piano solo, concerti, chamber and opera are all ...
