Prelude: The Best of Charlotte Church

Charlotte Church

Sony, 2002

Charlotte Church truly is the best and certainly has a voice of an angel.
Charlotte Church is truly amazing, she has such a lovely angelic,magical,and beautiful voice. I have all of her cd's and they are all truly wonderful. This is worth owning to as is everything Charlotte Church comes out with. It as all of her songs that we're put out as ...

Aria, Vol. 2: New Horizon

Paul Schwartz, Rebecca Luker, ...

Koch Records, 2004

A great follow-up to an outstanding musical experience
ARIA volume 1 was certainly a winner and this follow-up CD is fantastic. I liked the first CD so much that every time I went to the record store or online at Amazon I would look to see if Paul Schwartz and written a sequel. Schwartz selects wonderful works from ...

The King's Singers' Madrigal History Tour

John Dowland, William Byrd, ...

EMI Classics, 1989

A Terrific European Madrigal Sampling
Most madrigals one hears tend to be either in Italian or English. Not so on this album, perhaps one of the best European madrigal samplers (if not the only one)in existence. Some well known English and Italian madrigals can be found, of course. But the true treasure of ...

Christmas Adagios

Gerald Finley, Adolphe Adam, ...

Decca, 2001

One of my very top 5 favorite holiday albums!
What a delightful surprise this 2 disc album was and I'm not a big fan of Christmas music. I loved all the selections and felt they were well performed. This is a true "must have" for any Christmas collection. Superior to many other compliations on the market. This ...

Berlioz - Les Troyens / Graham, Antonacci, Kunde, Tezier, Naouri, Pokupic, Gardiner, Chatelet Opera

Susan Graham, Anna Caterina Antonacci

BBC / Opus Arte, 2004

Absolutely Stunning!!!The first choice by far!!
Few with exceptions, Berlioz is a little beyond my taste(though I love Romeo and Juliet, Harold and Italy, and this Opera). Even so, this is the finest operatic DVD i own. For those wondering whether or not this is the first choice(due to the recent remastering of ...

Euphoric Classics: A Classical High

Ernest Blanc, Renato Bruscon, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

Surprisingly good.
I bought this album because it had some favorites of mine and what looked to be an interesting composition of titles. It wasn't until I sat down to listen to it, did I fully realize how masterfully it had been put together. Most of the artists on here are well known ...

Silent Night: 25 Carols of Peace & Tranquility
Donald Sweeney, Anonymous, ...

Decca, 1999

Dream a Dream

Adolphe Adam, Felix Bernard, ...

Sony, 2000

Great Christmas music!
This is one of my fave Christmas cds and I listen to it every year. Charlotte Church was only about 14 and her voice is amazing.

Britten: A Ceremony of Carols

Gordon Jones, Benjamin Britten, ...

Hyperion UK, 1993

The best version of this piece!
This is the best version of the Ceremony of Carols available. It is sung completely by trebles and is accompanied only by harp, which is how it was written. Trebles = boys. I thought it was out of print and I am very happy to see that it is not. The only problem with ...

Christmas Carols - Weihnachtslieder - Chants De Noel - Choir of Westminster Abbey Preston

Simon Preston, Choir of Westminster Abbey, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1995

Best classical Christmas carol CD we've got
We have dozens of classical carol CDs, from medieval to modern. This is our favorite. Great selection, great performances. Some, including Rocking, Salve Puerule, Alleluja! Freuet Euch, and Puer Natus, are poignant enough to make you weep. The modern selections--a new ...

Silent Night: 25 Carols of Peace & Tranquility
Donald Sweeney, Anonymous, ...

Decca, 1999

Aria 2: New Horizon

Christopher Laurence, Mary Scully, ...

Cafe del Mar, 1999

My favorite album
I've been a long time fan of Enya and Yani type music, and am always on the scout for a good album of mood music. I heard Aria 2 while browsing a curiosity shop in Downtown Disney and fell in love. I highly suggest this for anyone who likes a melencholy sound mixed ...

Antonio Vivaldi: The Complete Sacred Music

Adrian Peacock, Charles Pott, ...

Hyperion UK, 2005

Antonio Vivaldi The Complete Sacred Music, Hyperion, The King's Consort, Choir of the King's Consort, Robert King, Soloists
Test of a little meeting. When Antionio Vivaldi 1741 died in Vienna, he left a stately spiritual work. A large part of these compositions which were not sighted yet or still not authorized for the publication to this day was sighted only approx. 90 years ago in which ...
