Sir Neville Marriner

The Most Relaxing Piano Album in the World...Ever!

Isaac Albeniz, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

EMI Classics, 2001

Beautiful piano music!
This is simply an exquisite collection of beautiful piano pieces. I am very satisfied with this purchase. I can read while listening to this music-call it background music...maybe, but even when you're doing something else-the music is there...it does not intrude, but ...

Mozart for Your Mind

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Colin Davis, ...

Philips, 1995

Wonderful Selection of not as famous but good works!
The two works on this CD that are most known are The Magic Flute Overture, which is filled with brilliance from measure one to the end, and the opening piece to the movie Amadeus, the G Minor Symphony. These two pieces are superb but just because they are more known, ...

Bach: Brandenburg Concertos No. 5 & 6/Orchestral Suite No. 1; Neville Marriner; Academy of St. Martin in the ...

Johann Sebastian Bach, Sir Neville Marriner, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

Easy to Enjoy
I am not a musician nor can I identify Bach's Brandenburg Concerto number one from number five. However, I am an avid listener and do enjoy classical music. I know how good the Academy of St Martin in the Fields is and what a great conductor Sir Neville Marriner is. ...

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 ...

Yehudi Menuhin, Jacqueline Du Pre, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Great music listein to while you read in bed
I have listened to this CD for the last several years before going to sleep at night. I love classical music, and this is great music to help make my soul feel at peace and unwind after a taxing day.

Bach: Brandenburg Concertos No. 1-4; Neville Marriner; Academy of St. Martin in the Fields

Johann Sebastian Bach, Sir Neville Marriner, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

Best modern instrument performances in my opinion
I think with the Brandenbergs, the deciding factor on which set to buy is whether you prefer modern instruments or period instruments. There are probably more great period instrument recordings (Trevor Pinnock and the English Concert is my personal favorite) to choose ...

Mozart for Meditation

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Colin Davis, ...

Philips, 1995

Excellent for Massage!
I'm a licensed massage therapist, and I absolutely adore using this CD during my sessions! It's a great alternative to the new age-y music styles that are so pervasive in the relaxation music scene -- my clients find this CD soothing & relaxing, and not at all ...

Essential Vivaldi: 20 Greatest Masterpieces

a. Vivaldi

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

Awesome CD
I am ever in search for music for canine freestyle and my choreographer suggested that I explore Vivaldi. My dog works great to Mozart so this was not a great departure musically. So I bought this album...It exceeded my expectations as the musicians play with emotion, ...

Vaughan Williams: Fantasies; The Lark Ascending; Five Variants

Kenneth Heath, Ralph Vaughan Williams, ...

Decca, 1990

this England!
It is perhaps impossible to hear Vaughan Williams' short works performed more beautifully and unforgettably than in this 1972 ADRM/Argo recording. Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields acquit themselves above reproach. Vaughan Williams - you love ...

Mozart: Requiem / McNair, Watkinson, Araiza, Lloyd; Marriner

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, ...

Philips, 1991

divine perspective nor experience with death required
When the Carmelite priest Roland Murphy penned an exquisite commentary on the amorous biblical book called the SONG OF SONGS, it was observed that this might well stand as final evidence that experience is not a requirement of true knowledge. From what this ...

Movie Adagios

Janos Starker, Julian Lloyd Webber, ...

Decca, 2001

One of the best CDs you'll ever own
This is an excellent selection of music. I listen to it every chance I get. It is great just to put in your CD player on "repeat" and allow it to soothe and inspire you for a few hours, for an evening, or an for entire day. One reason I chose it was that I was looking ...

Vaughan Williams: Orchestral Works

Ralph Vaughan Williams, Adrian Boult, ...

Decca, 1999

Balanced & Refined English Folk Song Adaptations
Vaughan Williams is certainly one of the consummate English composers who took the folk song of his country and compsed delightful orchestra works around them. This budget worthy 2-CD set displays this in two parts, the first performed by the Acadamey of St.Martin ...
