Stephen Adams

Broadway - The American Musical (PBS Series)

Richard Adler, Peter Allen, ...

Sony, 2004

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover
Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a ...

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 ...

#1 Christmas Album

Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, ...

Decca, 2001

Touch of angle, touch of heart
If you enjoy opera or choir, this is a must collection. The Choir of King's College probably knows the secret how to make the listener flying among thousands of Christmas candles. Pavarotti's opening is so mighty that remind people, this year, to be courageous and to ...

Charlotte Church

Stephen Adams, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Sony, 1999

You Are my True Inspiration Charlotte Church No matter what happens
you are definetly my number one top fan,I love your voice, so full, sweet and bright, you are a wonderful person, I dont care what people think of you, proberly they dont like you, but I feel very bad and very sad when people talk bad about you, you are defintely my ...

The Christmas I Love

Andre Rieu, Johann Strauss Orchestra

Philips, 1997

A Christmas Collection That Is Just Plain Fun
Sometimes I think the only person who is happy that Public television is financially challenged, other that certain legislators who believe that it is too liberal and the culmination of all that is evil, is Andre Rieu. Now don't get me wrong, this happy Dutch musician ...

The Complete EMI Sessions 1928-1939

Stephen Adams, Egbert van Alstyne, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

This is only for dedicated fans, but for us, it is a treasure/pleasure...
I could not afford this seven-disc box, but my dear friends Jim and Cindy Clark of Kansas, realizing that I am the only Robeson fan they are ever likely to meet, gifted me with this. I am extremely grateful. I "discovered" Paul in 1959, when I was 14, via a Vanguard ...

The Best Carols in the World...Ever!

Gareth Morrell, Simon Vaughan, ...

EMI Classics, 2005

Title makes a big claim, but it absolutely delivers...
This album provides 2.5 hours of excellent carols, from excellent choirs and soloists, and with great sound. I was worried that a compilation this large, and with such an extravagent title, would be B-side offerings, but that's not the case at all. This isn't an ...

Land of My Fathers: 100 Great Welsh Choir Favourites

Adolphe Adam, Stephen Adams, ...

Castle Pulse, 2005

Wonderful!
I bought this on a whim, as I like male choral groups. Am I ever glad I bought it! The music is soaring, and the voices are magnificent. I don't know all of the technical stuff about recording, etc.--I just know I love this collection!

Cambridge Singers Christmas Album

Stephen Orton, Adolphe Adam, ...

Collegium, 2003

Glittering Chrismas Music
I own virtually all of the CD's of John Rutter (whom I greatly admire) and the Cambridge Singers, and I am a fan of English Choral music in general. If I were asked to recommend only one of the many Cambridge Singers Christmas albums, or indeed one of any English ...

A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols

King's College Choir, Stephen Cleobury

EMI Classics, 1999

Don't let this recording pass you by!
Do yourself a favor and buy this CD - even if you don't think you like Christmas music. People stand in line for hours to hear the Choir of King's College's annual Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, and when you hear this recording, you will understand why. Rarely ...

A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols

Choir of St. John's Cathedral - Denver Colorado, Donald Pearson

Gothic Records, 1998

Absolute must-have for the Christmas choral collection!
Having owned this CD for several years now, I've easily listened to it over a hundred times. Additionally, as an organist and choir director, I have gone to great lengths to purchase and perform several of the pieces with my groups, namely: Bring A Torch, Mid-Winter, ...

Jessye Norman - Sacred Songs ~ Ave Maria, Amazing Grace, etc..

Jessye Norman, Charles Gounod, ...

Philips, 1990

incredibly moving
I was listening to the local public radio station when they played the Sanctus and I literally had to drive off the road to listen it was so powerfyl and moving. Jessye Norman is a national treasure.

San Francisco and Other Jeanette MacDonald Favorites

Stephen Adams, Benson, ...

RCA, 1991

A MUST for any Jeanette fan!
This CD is a gem! The songs included on it are beautiful and show off MacDonald's incredible voice. The best part of this CD, however, is the sound quality. Unlike many of her other recordings, and those featuring her with frequent costar Nelson Eddy, the sound on this ...

Children's Cello

Steven Isserlis, Amy Beach, ...

Bis, 2006

A DELIGHT
What a lucky little boy Steven Isserlis's son must be. His father is a leading cellist in the world and is good friends with a leading pianist of the world (Stephen Hough).The aforesaid two musicians are well known as a splendid chamber music team! Obviously ...

My Life Belongs To You

Ronan Tynan

Sony, 2002

greatest living tenor
Ronan Tynan is an amazing vocalist, and an amazing man. I'd never heard of him until, in the 2001 World Series, he sang "God Bless America," at Yankee Stadium. From then on, my husband was hooked. He bought this album as soon as he heard of it, and his culture level, ...
