An excellent addition to your collection

Ofra Harnoy, George Harrison, ...

RCA, 1996

The highest compliment for a CD.....
I bought this CD for background music while driving in the car and soon found myself taking it into the office to continue listening for relaxation and enjoyment on my PC headphones. One day I got a new PC delivered and was so caught up in the new computer, that I ...

Cello for Relaxation

Saint-Saëns, Bruch, ...

RCA, 2001

A Fine Way To Relax
Currently I'm enjoying this cello music while in the car, as it lessens the stress of traffic. It contains a variety of cello pieces that have beauty and grace. As a cellist I appreciate the supurb execution of each piece. This CD is everything I hoped it would be.

The excerpts from 25 concertos range from the Baroque to Romantic Periods. They are all masterfully performed by virtuoso musicians (example: Brendel is the pianist in the last track, the Beethoven Emperor piano concerto). The violinists are skillful and well-known ...

Vivaldi: Complete Cello Concertos

James McKay, Ofra Harnoy, ...

RCA, 2005

A solid set... at a tremendous value
This set is really represents an outstanding bargain for anybody wanting to acquire the majority of Vivaldi's (1678-1741) cello concerti. The playing by the cellist, Ofra Harnoy, is quite fine. The accompaniment by the Toronto Chamber Orchestra is full-bodied, yet ...

Romantic Cello

Gregor Piatigorsky, Janos Starker, ...

RCA, 2000

Nice collection of works for the cello
Overall, this is a nice collection of previously recorded romantic cello works. While the album art leans heavily towards the "love" side of romance, the music does come from the Romantic period and early 20th century. To quote the liner notes: "This collection ...

Out Classics

Ofra Harnoy, Richard Stoltzman, ...

RCA, 1995

Above all, enjoy the MUSIC of these possibly gay composers.
A wonderful collection of beautiful melodies. I personally doubt whether many of these men self-identified as "gay" in the late-20th-century sense of the word, however. They certainly weren't marching in any pride parades or placing rainbow flag stickers on their ...

Vivaldi: Cello Concertos Vol 1. - Ofra Harnoy

James McKay, Ofra Harnoy, ...

RCA, 1990

Oh so lovely and intensely beautiful.
Ofra Harnoy so beautifully expresses the depth of emotion and intensity of Vivaldi that this is the recording that all others must live up to. There is something so rare about the combination of Harnoy, McKay, and the Toronto Chamber Orchestra under the direction of ...

Vive La France!

Ofra Harnoy, Jacques Offenbach, ...

Vox (Classical), 1995

Technical Debacle
The sound quality on the cd I received from an Amazon merchant was extremely poor, kind of a tinny, fuzzy mess, and I am deeply disappointed in this purchase. The musicianship was mediocre. I wasted my money.

Ofra Harnoy: Trilogy

Ofra Harnoy, Luigi Boccherini, ...

RCA, 1993

Elite stuff?, no, but highly worthwhile none the less
I just wished to counterbalance the only other (two star) review of this CD. OK, no arguement, these probably aren't "five star" performances - but my point is, they are still thoroughly professional and entirely respectable. In fact, I'd say they're quite on-par with ...
