Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake (complete ballet); Wolfgang Sawallisch; Philadelphia Orchestra

Piotr Ilyitch Tchaikovsky, Wolfgang Sawallisch, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

Great rendition, minor flaws
I quite thoroughly enjoyed this rendition of Swan Lake. I've listened to one other version by Dutoit before this one, and I have to say that Sawallisch's version is, on the whole, much better. The major difference is that I didn't get bored by the third act; Sawallisch ...

The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Denon Records, 2004

Really great CD for long car rides!
This is a lovely CD for everyone. It is sincerely mellow with few exceptions and makes a soothing sound for the car (especially for long car rides). On the first of 2 cd's, the set up is a little odd. The first 2 songs are mellow and relaxing (just enough to help ...

The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe

Johann Pachelbel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

Denon Records, 2003

Relaxing Classical Music
I was not really a classical music fan but I am now. I purchased this cd for my 14 year old grand-daughter, not knowing we would both enjoy the music so much. She has always enjoyed classical music along with all of the other teen music, rap, rock, country, etc. ...

Beethoven's Wig: Sing Along Symphonies

Beethoven's Wig

Rounder / Umgd, 2002

Teaching Kids to Love Classical Music
This is a great product. The kids love it. The main vocalist has a zany way of cracking his voice which a hilarious complement to the other opera-class voices on the CD.

25 Classical Favorites

Frank Morelli, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Great collection of classical favorites - but no Beethoven
Overall an excellent collection of classical favorites and for $3.99 its a steal, but strangely there is not a single Beethoven composition in the CD.

Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition, A Night on Bald Mountain, and Other Russian Showpieces [Hybrid SACD]

Modest Mussorgsky, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

RCA, 2004

Wow!
How can something older than me sound so good? The recording is top notch. Dont be fooled into thinking it is "just stereo", the ambience of symphony hall comes thru as though it were recorded in surround. Exquisite detail and perfect tempo. Timpani has realistic ...

Baby Einstein: Traveling Melodies

Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, ...

Buena Vista, 2005

Saved My Sanity
My husband and I are musicians so I inwardly groaned when we were given this CD as a gift--I'd rather play the originals rather than some synthesized kiddie version. However, on a recent road trip we got desperate when our colicky son would not stop screaming. We ...

Classical Music for Children: A Toddler's Introduction to Classical Music

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Ent. Media Partners, 1997

He started dancing as soon as we put it on!
My 12 month old loves this CD and happily bops away to the music (in the car he sometimes even starts singing!). We like it too and not being very well versed in Classical music, it is a nice mix for us.

UltraSound - Music for the Unborn Child

Johannes Brahms, Frederic Chopin, ...

RCA, 1999

Soothing sounds for unborn baby
This product is wonderful and i would recommend it to anybody who is expecting a baby. It can be used also later on when the baby is born of course so it is a never-ending beautiful piece of music.

Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto Op35; Brahms: Violin Concerto in D Op77

Johannes Brahms, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

EMI Classics, 1995

Possibly the biggest steal in all of recorded music !
As one who grew up adoring the Jascha Heifetz/Fritz Reiner recordings of these two great concerti, and certain they had set a standard of musical excellence impossible of being equalled, much less bettered, imagine my surprise upon hearing this fabulous disc. ...

The World's Favorite Piano Music

Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, ...

RCA, 1992

My favorite CD!
Van Cliburn is a master pianist, and this CD is pure listening enjoyment. I generally am not into clasical music, but this is fun. His working fingers convince me that they are not working. They are dancing, and they are having great fun. WONDERFUL!!

Fiedler's Favorite Marches

Kenneth J. Alford, Edwin Eugene Bagley, ...

RCA, 1990

Great Marching Music
Even though I am a Yankee I still love "Dixie." This is great music for pre-school children and those just entering school. I think it helps build character. I like this album.

25 Tchaikovsky Favorites

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Alois Springer, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Tchaikovsky's Greatest Pieces of Music
Here are some of Peter Ilych Tchaikovsky's greatest works. His Nutcraker, Swan Lake and Sleeping Beauty ballets are the most famous in the repoirtaire. The Symphony No. 5 and 6 are very excellent symphonic orchestrations. However, despite all the good stuff in here ...

Baby Einstein: Playtime Music Box

Ludwig van Beethoven, Georges Bizet, ...

Buena Vista, 2004

Simple Music
This is music for babies, or for children, the people at Baby Einstein understand that little ears have trouble discerning multiple sounds. If you had wanted a classical music CD those are already available. But your baby needs a simple CD with only 1 or 2 instruments. ...

Tchaikovsky: Symphonies no 4, 5, & 6 / Karajan, Berlin PO

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Herbert von Karajan, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1997

The best recording of von Karajan
I have always been thinking that Tchaikovsky exists between Hollywood movie composers and Broadway musical writers; after all he was a man who wrote Swan Lake, Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty. To me his position was not on serious side of vast universe of classical ...
