Ahh Sarah!
Is there a better singer in the world? I don't think so, but in any case, this new album from the now very svelte and very georgeous Sarah Brightman is superb. The power, the control, the clarity is all there. This experienced vocalist is the definition of a world ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996
A staple in any classical music library
There is really no point in expanding any further on what has been said by the other reviewers, other than that those few who gave this recording less than 4 stars don't have a clue. I don't personally know anyone who wouldn't rate each of these performances in the top ...

DG, 2008
Revelatory
The Schoenberg violin concerto is widely admired and widely studied, but it isn't much played, and it's never been much loved. This is partly because of the huge technical hurdles it presents fiddlers, but also because it isn't especially easy to bring off musically; ...

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 ...

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.
Baby Einstein: Lullaby Classics, Vol. 2

Buena Vista, 2006
Great CD for baby (and adults shhh)
This is great CD. We love Vol. 1 but it was getting a little over played so we bought Vol. 2. It's THE best thing for a car ride. Especially with a fussy baby who hates cars.
Vivaldi: The Four Seasons; Violin Concertos

Itzhak Perlman

EMI Classics, 2002
A beautiful Vivaldi recording
Itzhak Perlman plays the Four Seasons like no other violinist. The clarity and tone indicate a master violinist but the emotion and passion convey a sense of a message. If you are looking for a great recording of the Four Seasons, pick this one up right away, as ...

well rounded surprises
Now we know who wrote the beautiful music for so many films. AND these arrangements for YoYo Ma highlight his talent and broad capacity to play so many types of music so well. Bravo!

Baby love
My baby loves the baby einstein movies (3 months old) and this uses the music from the baby Mozart video, so he recognizes it and laughs and plays while listening!
Romance of the Violin
Joshua Bell

Giacomo Puccini
Sony, 2003
Drippingly romantic!
I played this during my dinner party this week and several of my guests commented on how beautiful the music was! It is a lovely collection and has not one single track that I want to skip when it plays!

EMI Classics, 1995
Best Classical CD bargain on Amazon, IMHO
I'm surprised this CD isn't displayed on the Classical Blowout store. Perhaps it's *too* good a bargain? I purchased this CD for one piece: The Story Of The Kalandar Prince. My children and I love this work, as it is orchestrated like a story ("tone poem" is the ...

Editions of Beethoven- Toscanini recordings have been around for a long time now. These records offered here are an excellent collection of the late recordings. Highly recommended

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.
Beethoven's Wig: Sing Along Symphonies
Beethoven's Wig
Rounder / Umgd, 2002
Classical Kids
I bought this as a birthday gift for a little boy. My kids and I love this CD and like to give it as a gift for other families. It is so fun for the kids, but also it has helped me be able to identify and remember the songs. I tried to think of my favorite song, but ...
