Elgar: Violin Concerto; Introduction and Allegro
Alexander Cameron, Edward Elgar, ...

EMI Classics, 2006

A performance that gets to the heart of Elgar's concerto.
Elgar played the violin himself, and this concerto is his greatest gift to his fellow violinists. When he composed the work in 1909 and 1910, there were already many concertos that gave room for virtuosic playing. Elgar did something different: he created a score that ...
  
  











  



  
Instruments of the Orchestra
Various Artists

Naxos, 2002

Very Informative and Enjoyable
Whether you're a music novice or pro, "The instruments of the Orchestra" is a very worthwhile purchase. The 7 CDs, with a total of 8 hours, are expertly narrated by Jeremy Siepmann. He's a great speaker, very much like the late Leonard Bernstein was. Mr. Siepmann takes ...
  
  











  



  
Wonderful Town (Original 1953 Broadway Cast)
Leonard Bernstein, Betty Comden, ...

Decca U.S., 2001

a must-have recording for REAL Broadway fans
This marvellous new re-issue of WONDERFUL TOWN is a must-have for Broadway buffs. In fact, this is really two albums in one, as it also contains the rare 1945 studio recording of ON THE TOWN as a bonus! The story is based on the play "My Sister Eileen", written by ...

Sounds of the Circus Vol. 1
Russell Alexander, John Wheaton Casto, ...

Sounds of the Circus, 1991

A Fine Collection of Authentic Circus Music
The South Shore Concert Band does a nice job on this album of sounding more like a circus than a concert band, and of playing this very difficult material at extremely rapid tempos in some cases, but also taking some numbers at a slower beat, to provide contrast. ...
  
  











  



  
The Bernstein Songbook
Mark Brown, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1990

A great "first step" to the magic of "The Great White Way"
With the Thanksgiving passing of songwriter Betty Comden, I recalled that I had, in my album collection, this album, not just featuring her songs but Comden singing on "Carried Away" and "Some Other Time" from the Tony-award-winning "New York." Two other songs from ...
  
  











  



  
Gregorian Chillout
Anonymous, Johannes Brahms, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Some of the most beautiful music ever...
Like I said, this is some of the most beautiful music ever written. I've never considered myself a religious person, but something about this music evokes a sense of reverence in me that gives me chills every time I listen to it. If you're a fan of Enigma, give this ...
  
  











  



  
Apres Le Plie
Lisa Harris

The Orchard, 2002

Great practice music,class instruction or listen...
I enjoy all of the songs (and there are many) on this c.d. It's designed for practice ballet exercises. However, I think if you like the songs it could be pleasant for listening... It's helpful to "warm up" the joints as a ballet inspiration. The music is grouped ...
  
  











  



  
Florence Foster Jenkins & Friends: Murder on the High Cs
John Charles Thomes, Robert Merrill, ...

Naxos, 2003

comedy classic
In the summer of 2003, I had the luck of hearing Florence's recordings. Even though no one is quite sure whether she meant to be funny or not, listening to her cds always puts me in the best mood. Hearing her try to reach those high notes and missing terribly is the ...
  
  











  



  
On Parade!: World's Greatest Marches
Russell Alexander, Edwin Eugene Bagley, ...

Proarte, 1993

The best money you will ever spend.
This ensemble plays both with precision and bravura. It successfully exploits the rich sonorities and full color pallate of the brass band through performances of a good, representative sample of the genre. The recording quality is quite good. I highly recommend the ...
  
  











  



  
Desire: Music for Romance
Jose Ostrac, Adolphe Adam, ...

Intersound Records, 1999

Baroque/Classical Beauty!
This is a fine collection of beautiful, romantic melodies! They have depth and eloquence and are performed in a style that sounds baroque to me. It is not your 'average', straight-forward classical CD set...NO. This set is special, perfect to give as a gift for an ...

Cavi-Music, 2008

"With this album we do have a dramatic piece of opera-- simply without singing, but definitely worthwhile listening to." -- Fono Forum World premiere recording and performance of the complete score of Fidelio for piano 4 hands, recorded by world-renowned stars. Dennis Russell Davies and Maki Namekawa have established a well-known name for ...
  
  











  



  
Bach: Orchestral Suites 2 & 3, Goldberg Canons
Alexander Heller, Christopher Millard, ...

Sony, 1990

THE VIRILE, RICH-BLOODED BACH!
J. Sebastian Bach was a very virile, full-blooded man who worked all his life, had two wives, and sired about 20 children. Casals' realizations of Bach's music illustrate Bach's virility and vivacity. Casals conducts the Bach Concerti & Suites as he [Casals] plays ...
