Opera Grows Up
Philip Glass and librettist Christopher Hampton have adapted J. M. Coetzee's parable about power and inhumanity in an opera that staggers in both dramatic power and beauty. The story is set in a town on the fringes of a nameless Empire that is in the process of ...

Good Memories
This CD has a good selection of traditional Christmas songs from the original artists that I remember from my childhood. You know, when it was still OK to say "Merry Christmas" to someone on the street. I played this CD and the other Time-Life Christmas CD all December ...

The Greatest Ragtime of the Century

Shout Factory, 2003
Awesome to hear the old masters almost live.
It was an awesome experience to hear Ragtime and early blues played by the masters themselves. When you hear the music from their own hands, if not their own pianos, it makes the music immediate, and makes even clearer the stylistic differences of the various American ...

The Sweetest Music
I love this CD. My family and I listened to it over and over and over again, during the last few weeks of my mother's life. It has been a comfort to me in time of sorrow. Now it brings tears every time I listen to it. This music is like loving arms around me. It ...

every good adjective
This album is all beauty and solace. The singing is pristine, the arrangements lush and often stirring--never saccharine. As with the previous reviewer, my first listing of "Peace Like a River" brought me to tears (especially "Peace Like a River," the sopranos in ...

2 Original Perry Como Christmas Recordings From July, 1968!
To look at the listing for this CD, you might consider it a sampler collection of Perry Como Christmas Music and that it most certainly is. It is also lacking any liner notes or track listing booklet. It is simply one piece of paper with the CD cover on the front and ...

Soul Satisfying
I love this CD. It's especially wonderful when it's rainy outside and I'm curled up by the fire inside. My son who is 16, blind and autistic loves it and plays it over and over. I think he taps into the immediate relaxation and beautiful blend of classical with ...

better than I could ever have hoped
I am not a great opera fan, but I love Mozart and really wanted to hear the whole Marriage of Figaro beyond the too-familiar overture. I read the reviews on this one and it seemed more like a movie than a Brunhilda endurathon. BOY DID I FIND A GOOD ONE! If ratings ...

Good classic songs
My wife's favorite Christmas song is the "Carol of the Bells" and it's not found too much. This version is great, although barely a minute long. Good mix of artists and classical Christmas sounds. Very nice.
