classical music: complete     classical music:     Complete      Beethoven - The Complete String Quartets / Alban Berg Quartet Ludwig van Beethoven, Alban Berg Quartet, ... EMI Classics, 1999 Budget priced, in a strange order, but excellent A great job by the Berg quartet. I started with the old Columbia LP of the Budapest's version of the final quartets, but it would be a false note for the Berg quartet to try to recapture the feeling of disaster that pervades the Budapest versions, made as these were ...             Glenn Gould: The Complete Original Jacket Collection - Amazon.com Exclusive Glenn Gould SONY CLASSICS, 2007 an astounding collection In recording technology, Glenn Gould saw a new future for music -- a future not of the public concert, or even of the "embalmed concert moment" (as he referred to un-edited "live" recordings), but one in which the artist was able to splice and edit until he reached a ...             Puccini: Madama Butterfly (complete opera) with Maria Callas, Lucia Danieli, Nicolai Gedda, Herbert von ... Giacomo Puccini, Herbert von Karajan, ... EMI Classics, 1997 Perhaps The Best Recorded "Madama Butterfly" There are many "Butterfly" recordings out there that are excellent in their own right but this recording deserves a category of excellence all it's own. What almost looks like mis-casting on paper, Callas does an astonishing job with the title role, which she recorded ...             Bach Edition: Complete Works (155 CD Box Set) Johann Sebastian Bach, Andrew Manze, ... Brilliant Classics, 2006 Wonderful, wonderful music Even though I have a lot of other Bach records, this is different, like being in the ocean. What a joy. Buy it; it's unbelievable. The organ works, violin and harpsichord material, and most concertos and orchestral works, have NOTHING wrong with them per se; if you ...             Handel: Complete Violin Sonatas George Frederick Handel, Richard Egarr, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2005 Simply astounding It is not without a sense of awe that I write these words. I believe Mr. Handel himself, had he been alive to hear this recording, would have been thoroughly delighted and not perhaps devoid of a tear or two. The grace and elegance with which these endearing ...             Wagner - Der Ring des Nibelungen / Levine, Metropolitan Opera (Complete Ring Cycle) Siegfried Jerusalem, Hildegard Behrens Deutsche Grammophon, 2002 Overall, the best "Ring" out there As a veteran of 25+ live "Ring" cycles, this Met production remains my favorite. Reviewers giving this production 3 stars have evidently not suffered through such "Ring" abominations as those recently done in Vienna and Stuttgart, or the godawful Kirov "Ring" at the ...             Beethoven: The Complete Symphonies and Piano Concertos Hans Hotter, Ludwig van Beethoven, ... EMI Classics, 2000 What's not to like? For me, this is the top choice for stereo Beethoven cycles. Klemperer conducted with a grandeur that is sadly not to be found among today's conductor's. His "Eroica" is still among the best around alongside Furtwangler, Abendroth & Weingartner. His 9th is easily a top ...             The Copenhagen Ring: The Complete DVD Set Iréne Theorin, Gitta-Maria Sjöberg Decca, 2008 The Feminists' Ring I saw this Ring live in Copenhagen, and look forward to this souvenir of the production on DVD. An interesting, modern interpretation with a decidedly "feminist" leaning: the whole story is essentially Brunnhilde's flashback on her family history, with her now ...             A State of Wonder: The Complete Goldberg Variations (1955 & 1981) Johann Sebastian Bach, Glenn Gould, ... Sony, 2002 Really, so NO ONE in 1981 realized the analog tapes sounder better? Most of us may remember the "perfect music forever" marketing that introduced CDs 25 years ago... those of us with working ears pretty quickly dismissed it for the hype it was... I've got both the '55 and '81 versions and now this release. I have NO regrets re the ...             Mozart Edition: Complete Works (170 CD Box Set) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Bruce Abel, ... Brilliant Classics, 2005 A wonderful set ! I bought the complete set for my birthday. What a wonderful surprise ! Let's say I did not know much about Mozart's music except some few "classics" (the symphonies, the requiem, some piano concertos and sonatas, some serenades and the operas). I love every piece I ...             Bizet: Carmen (complete opera) with Maria Callas, Nicolai Gedda, Georges Pretre, Paris Opera Orchestra Georges Bizet, Maria Callas, ... EMI Classics, 1997 Excellent I was looking for this play quite long ago, and finally I found it right at Amazon.             Bach - The Complete Brandenburg Concertos / Pearlman, Boston Baroque Johann Sebastian Bach, Martin Pearlman, ... Telarc, 1996 nobody tops Boston Baroque I am just knocked out by Boston Baroque's performances and the technical perfection of their recordings. This music is still very much alive in these good hands. If you like Bach and you have a decent sound system, you'll play this one for your friends.             Telemann:Tafelmusik (Complete) [Box Set] Georg Philipp Telemann, Pieter-Jan Belder, ... Brilliant Classics, 2004 That's right! I stepped up! I've been looking at this box set for a while now hoping that someone would buy it and review it. I've seen these sets sell for over $100, so I thought this one would be a dud at only $11.99. And with no samples, I just about wrote it off. But finally I took a chance. ...             The Story of Bach Johann Sebastian Bach, Jean-Joseph Cassanea de Mondonville, ... Vox (Classical), 1995 Excellent! We are using this series of CDs in our homeschool music program - they are fantastic! We especially love this one about Bach - what an awesome man! The story of his life is told in a way that is very interesting and holds the children's attention while also using ...             Marilyn Horne - The Complete Decca Recitals Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ... Decca Records, 2008 A TREASURE OF SINGING ----- IN A LAVISH PRESENTATION Marilyn Horne is plainly one of the greatest classical singers ever heard. She stands beside Caruso, Bjoerling, Flagstad, Callas, Sutherland, Caballe, Domingo, Pavarotti and every other "great". Horne's mezzo-soprano voice was astounding, with booming chest tones, a ...          products you might be interested in   search for classical music brandenburg, copenhagen, metropolitan, nibelungen, symphonies, variations      toavi.com    web randomly chosen book: Weihrauch.
