Bride

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Naxos, 2002

A must have in your music library
I had ordered this cd on the recommendation of the musical director from my Church who has quite an extensive international background. I mistakenly thought I would just use it to pick out songs for the ceremony portion of my wedding. It turns out it has so many ...

Itzhak Perlman - Live in the Fiddler's House

Alicia Svigals

Angel Records, 1996

This was a fun C.D.
For people who are into Klezmer music this is the finest C.D.! For Klezmer music lovers, this is a masterpiece.

Dvorák's New World Symphony and Other Orchestral Masterworks [Hybrid SACD]

Antonin Dvorak, Bedrich Smetana, ...

RCA, 2005

A truly wonderful experience
I have several CD's of Dvorak's 9th Symphony but it's unlikely I will play them again. The performance is the best I've heard and the recording is outstanding. My wife, who doesn't even particularly like classical music, came into the room when I played this ...

Baby Einstein: Traveling Melodies

Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, ...

Buena Vista, 2005

Saved My Sanity
My husband and I are musicians so I inwardly groaned when we were given this CD as a gift--I'd rather play the originals rather than some synthesized kiddie version. However, on a recent road trip we got desperate when our colicky son would not stop screaming. We ...

Baby Einstein: Playtime Music Box

Ludwig van Beethoven, Georges Bizet, ...

Buena Vista, 2004

Simple Music
This is music for babies, or for children, the people at Baby Einstein understand that little ears have trouble discerning multiple sounds. If you had wanted a classical music CD those are already available. But your baby needs a simple CD with only 1 or 2 instruments. ...

Sousa's Greatest Hits

John Philip Sousa, United States Marine Band

Altissimo Records, 1999

Great music with authentic sound
Great CD I've read the other reviews and though the sound quality isn't as good as top 40 pop the sound is true to the music and that can't be beat. These classic American songs remind us of the strong heritage we come from. Just like these melodies that dance through ...

Grieg: Peer Gynt

Peter Mattei, Edvard Grieg, ...

Virgin Classics, 2005

Maybe this is THE (one disc-) Peer Gynt album to own ...
... to keep closely beside the gorgeous, incisively intelligent and deeply concentrated performance (also on 1 CD) with Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting the Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra and Barbara Hendricks singing the role of Solveig (Sony Classical). Together with the ...

Gilbert & Sullivan - Highlights from The Mikado, The Pirates of Penzance, H.M.S. Pinafore, The Yeomen of the ...

Nicholas Folwell, Arthur Sullivan, ...

Telarc, 1996

Pure delight
--Gilbert & Sullivan-- William Gilbert and Arthur Sullivan were a match made in heaven, yet on earth their pairing seems even with hindsight a most unlikely coupling. Both were destined for other things, Gilbert in fact for decidedly non-musical careers. Introduced ...

Smetana - The Bartered Bride

Lucia Popp, Siegfried Jerusalem

Deutsche Grammophon, 2007

A superbly performed, exciting Bartered Bride
As soon as conductor Adam Fischer engages the warp engines and shifts the well known overture into hyperdrive, we know we're in for an exciting performance of Bedrich Smetana's masterpiece, The Bartered Bride. As soon as the wonderful Lucia Popp begins lamenting her ...

The Very Best of Lucia Popp

Antonin Dvorak, Edvard Grieg, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Lucy: The Reigning Queen of Opera
Lucia Popp is one of the best sopranos to ever grace the operatic/classical voice stage. This CD compilation shows her progression through lyric Handel to lyric and dramatic Mozart (her Der Holle Rache from Magic Flute is unrivaled) to tender art song and operetta ...

Dvorák / Smetana: Symphony No. 7 / Bartered Bride / Moldau

Antonin Dvorak, Bedrich Smetana, ...

Sony, 1998

Gotta Love It!
On this particular CD, we find Leonard Bernstein giving his interpretations to Dvorak's 7th Symphony (my personal favorite). This performance is fine indeed. The tempos seem to be a hair slower than many versions I have heard but this allows a fresh perspective to ...

Dvorák: New World Symphony/Smetana: Bartered Bride/Weinberger: Polka & Fugue

Antonin Dvorak, Bedrich Smetana, ...

RCA, 1995

One of the Great Recordings of this All Time Classic
RCA has a vast and incredible library of classical music recordings, particularly in its LIVING STEREO series, and over the years has re-released some of its great titles. One of the more popular and enduring recordings in this series is Fritz Reiner's recording of ...

Monteverdi - L'Orfeo / Savall, Zanasi, Figueras, Mingardo, Abete, Turk, Vargas, Bettini, Gran Teatre del ...

Montserrat Figueras, Furio Zanasi

BBC / Opus Arte, 2003

Very enjoyable production with some fine singing
This is one of the best productions of a Monteverdi opera I've seen on DVD. The cast is very good. Although I was surprised to see a baritone singing the role of Orfeo. However, he does a fine job and the tessitura of the role would hole no terrors for most ...

Famous Overtures
Ludwig van Beethoven, Mikhail Glinka, ...

Golden Classics, 2004

Baroque For Brides To Be: A Musical Bouquet for Your Wedding Day

Johann Sebastian Bach, Jeremiah Clarke, ...

Philips, 1997

A Perfect Gift
I love this cd! I actually own "Baroque for Bathtime" which is why I thought of this cd for my future sister-in-law. I think it will make a perfect little pre-wedding gift!
