Sony, 2004
Fabulous for any Broadway-lover
Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a ...

Don Quixote - sheer technical excitement
The DVD version of Baryshnikov's 'Don Quixote' is a must-have for balletomanes, and even new ballet audiences. Not only does it involve the wonderful lyric side of the ballet, it also has sheer flair and virtuosity displayed in Baryshnikov & Harvey's dancing. Cynthia ...

If the sound of trombones stirs your heart, here is just the CD for you. 16 trombonists from various British orchestras ban together in this compilation. The result? Wow! That's all I can say! The music chosen is a great mix of classical / chorale pieces as well as ...

A successful adventure
This was a surprise recording for me. I've never considered McCreesh to be an opera conductor. Not that I'm a major expert, but I do own a number of his recordings, and I've always thought of him as a conductor most celebrated for his liturgical performances. Well, ...

A Musical Not To Miss
As with so many Broadway shows, the story behind Girl Crazy is concerned with the quest for love and romance built into a thin story. The setting of Girl Crazy in Arizona provided a more exotic locale for 1930's America. What makes Girl Crazy so memorable are the ...

Moonlight homage!
Dave Grusin made a very heartfelt homage in Henry Mancini `s memory with this striving album that deserves all your special attention. If I had to find any motive of complaint around this invaluable CD is the few number of songs. Perhaps Moon river, Charade, and ...

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.

Deutsche Grammophon, 2003
Beautiful, dramatic, and introspective
It's fascinating to me just how much vitriol there is in the classical music community. The performance of the great classics seems to be an almost life and death situation. There are many for whom there is only one right way to perform a work, their way, and ...

Brilliant
I've been waiting for this one since I saw the great final chorus of BWV190 on the Gardiner canata DVD, and now it's here. It doesn't disappoint. BWV190 "Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied", for the New Year, sometimes gets a miss, because the first two movements are ...
