classical music: Peter Stewart     classical music:     Peter Stewart      Glass: Einstein on the Beach (1993 Recording) Richard Peck, Gregory Purnhagen, ... Nonesuch, 1993 Hard to fault Before this, I'd only really heard Glass's solo piano music. Where I found his repetitive figures unmoving in that context, here - fleshed out with vocals and synths - they become something else, something hypnotic, beguiling and quite beautiful. Even over 3 hours, it ...             Silent Night, A Christmas Program Choir of Men and Boys - Washington Cathedral, Douglas Major Gothic Records, 1997 Excellent Christmas CD! A wonderful and varied selection of holiday music that displays the majestic sound of the Washington National Cathedral by the choir, congregation and organ. My favorite track (and worth the price of the CD) is the final one, in which organist Douglas Major performs ...             Prokofiev - Peter and the Wolf / Narrated by Patrick Stewart · Opera de Lyon · Nagano Sergey Prokofiev, Claude Debussy, ... Erato, 1994 Delightful performances Perhaps I have the advantage of having a wonderful stereo system, but I do not experience the peaks and distortions that others claim on my CD of this wonderful recording. The only thing I noticed is that my volume had to be raised a bit more than usual, but there was ...             Wagner: Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg Anton Diakow, Dieter Slembeck, ... Arts Music, 2003 My favorite recording of Die Meistersinger I'm surprised there aren't more reviews of this recording. The Kubelik version of Meistersinger started out on the Calig label. However, for some reason, Calig allowed it to go out of print. Then Myto put out the Kubelik recording. Some have complained that the Myto ...             Infinite Voice Darlene Koldenhoven Time Art, 2007 Wonderful Singer Surely Darlene Koldenhoven has one of the most beautiful female voices in the world. The song selections, the accompanying music and the quality of recording are supurb.             Philip Glass - Monsters of Grace Gregory Purnhagen, Peter Stewart, ... Orange Mountain Music, 2007 Beautiful The first track, "Where Everything is Music", is worth the price of the album, even if the rest of the songs isn't fully up to the same standard, I think overall the album is one of Philip Glass' best song collections. As five-star as five stars get in my book. I used ...             Miss Saigon (1995 Studio Cast) Claude-Michel Schonberg, David Charles Abell, ... Angel Records, 1995 Superb This 1995 studio recording is fabulous. While I don't necessarily prefer it entirely over the original cast recording, there are elements to this recording that are over and above the original. Joanna Ampil, while delightful as Kim, lacks Lea Salonga's essence. ...             Glass Box: A Nonesuch Retrospective(10 CD) Alexander Blachly, Bruce Rogers, ... Nonesuch, 2008 This elegantly packaged 10 disc retrospective surveys four decades of work by Philip Glass, from his earliest solo pieces to his world-renowned operas to his Oscar-nominated film scores. In music, words and pictures, it traces the evolution, as critic Tim Page puts it in his liner notes essay, of 'the first composer to win a wide, ...             Psalms of David Complete Choir of St Paul's Cathedral, Scott Hyperion UK, 2002 What can you say? I almost hate to criticize this terrific thing. After all, where else can you get all 150 Psalms in a single collection sung by one of the world's great choirs? How much do I like it? I bought it *twice*. I originally bought all the CDs separately, before they came ...             Dufay: Chant & Motets ~ The Virgin & the Temple / Pomerium Guillaume Dufay, Pomerium Deutsche Grammophon, 1997 Simply divine. Music doesn't get much better than this, and Pomerium/Blachly can't be beat. Essential CD to any collection.             Evensong for St. Cecilia Anonymous, English Anonymous, ... Priory Records UK, 2001             The Mantovani Orchestra Hugo Alfven, Anonymous, ... St. Clair Records, 2000 Fantastic Collection of Favorites!!! The Mantovanti Orchestra shows off their "marvelous versatility" in this "wonderful" collection of "8 CDs", with titles that tell you "just what to expect", such as: "The Love Songs", "Memorable Classics", "Itallian Favorites", "On Broadway", etc. You can set the MOOD ...             Launch Stewart Copeland, Michael Daugherty, ... Sony, 1996 Exercise Your Woofers Percussion ensembles tend to be self-limiting -- there's only so much you can do with rhythm and timbre if your sustain is a given. Ensemble Bash supersede these limitations by including bass guitar and some spoken vocals along with their marimbas, vibraphones, ...             Thea Musgrave: Choral Works Jon Szabo, Mark Rehnstrom, ... Bridge Records, Inc., 2004 This CD presents a tribute to Thea Musgrave on the occasion of her 75th birthday.
