Benjamin Britten performs Benjamin Britten

Benjamin Britten, Colin McPhee, ...

Pearl, 1995

An Incredibly Important and Rewarding Recording
The re-mastering of the works on this historically significant recording is so fine that they sound as clear and responsive as the best of today's engineering on recordings. And that is a feat! These recordings by Benjamin Britten were made form 1942 to 1944 when ...

Benjamin Luxon, Bryn Terfel, ...

Decca, 2004

Aaron Copland: Lincoln Portrait; Old American Songs

Sherrill Milnes, Aaron Copland, ...

Telarc, 1990

Vintage Americana
This album is a wonderful collection of lesser heard Copland gems. The performances have the excitement one always expects from Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops, and it is ever a special treat to hear Sherrill Milnes. A very enjoyable CD.

Imperial Fanfares

Johann Ernst Altenburg, Austrian Anonymous, ...

Naxos, 2003

And now, honored ladies and gentlemen, may we present...!
This is what you'd have to call a specialty CD. It consists entirely of fanfares--nothing but fanfares--some of them as short as 10 seconds long. An interesting idea for a CD, perhaps, but I would guess it is primarily for directors of costume dramas, period pieces, ...

New England Conservatory Wind Ensemble

John Harbison, Karel Husa, ...

Albany Records, 1999

Add this to your collection!
A must for any wind ensemble collection. Battisti's interpretation of these challenging pieces captures every subtle nuance, every emotion. The Husa is indeed breathtaking, one of the finest recordings of any Husa composition. This is a great collection of ...

i'm trying out for drum major, and part of the try outs is marching an L-pattern, the kind of pattern that you would do in a regular drum major competition. it shows your parade marching skills, your ability to stick to tempo, and your directing abilities. so for ...

Ceremonial Music for Trumpet & Symphonic Organ

Johann Sebastian Bach, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, ...

Telarc, 1993

A ceremony in sound
This is a beautifully performed CD of ceremonial music of the Christian tradition. While organist Michael Murray talks about the diversity of kinds of ceremonial music in the liner notes essay, the musical selection here is drawn from the Western Christian tradition ...

Warner Brothers Pub., 2006

Missa Luba: An African Mass

Guido Haazen, African Traditional

Philips, 1991

Missa luba
I have a very old album that is now very scratchy. It is a beautifully done album, especially for those Catholics that love to hear the Mass in Latin. The B side of the album has a wonderful collection of traditional African music. I would love to find a newer copy ...

Decca, 2003

Aaron Copland: Essential Classics
This excellent introduction to the symphonic Copland repackages an earlier "Decca Double Decker" (see B000004284). Deleted are "Old American Songs" and added are "Billy the Kid" and "Danzon Cubano". These recordings were made from 1969-1994. The sonics are exemplary. ...
