Gershwin: Rhapsody In Blue/An American In Paris

George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1990

Rhapsody in blue
I first heard Leonard Bernstein's version of Rahpsody in Blue in the early 1960s, on a 7" vinyl record. It has remained my favourite ever since. This digital issue on a CD is excellent. Nothing has been lost in the transition from analogue to digital recording, and it ...

The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe

Frederic Chopin, Claude Debussy, ...

Denon Records, 2004

The Most Soothing Lullabies
great collection of classical music that most people would recognize. I was so happy to finally find this music played with real instruments and not midi/synthesized. I like to play this cd in the evening while we start to wind things down and helps my transition ...

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons

Antonio Vivaldi, Seiji Ozawa, ...

Telarc, 1990

These reviews are NOT for the recording by the Salzburg Chamber Orchestra
For some reason, the page for the MP3 album of the recording of the Four Seasons by the Salzburg Chamber Orchestra links you to these reviews which are for the Boston Symphony recording. Get the Boston recording, it is sublime.

Chris Botti in Boston (CD/DVD)

Chris Botti

Sony, 2009

an unbeliveable covered song
To just hear "Aerosmiths" front man cover a song that has been around since Charlie Chaplin and to dedicate it to his dad in the front row. Is both heart wrenching and incredible at the same time. With "Botti" in the backdrop is all the more reason this is a must have ...

The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe

Johann Pachelbel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

Denon Records, 2003

best cd
These 2 cds are the best collection of classical music that I think I will ever own.

Collection 1: The Solo Piano Recordings (Box)

Martha Argerich

MINISTRY OF SOUND US, 2008

Nice package
All fans know these widely available recordings. My personal favorites are Liszt Sonata, Chopin 3rd sonata and the Bach cd - all tour de force of piano playing, very hot-headed, dangerous readings of these works. Try Finale of Chopin sonata to taste. The set is tightly ...

Romance of the Violin

Joshua Bell, Giacomo Puccini, ...

Sony, 2003

Magical II
Along with Voice of the Violin, this is the most beautiful collection of violin I have heard. In the car or in the home, just put it in the player and enjoy.

25 Classical Favorites

Vox (Classical), 1996

great gift
Bought this product for my grandchild to introduce him to classical music. It was perfect. Thanks

25 Mozart Favorites

John Sant'Ambrogio, Jost Michaels, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Great Music
The music on this album is very well done. Amazon's description was sketchy and after receiving the album I realized I already owned it. Fortunately I have friends that would appreciate it so it will make a wonderful gift.

The Chopin Collection [Box Set]

Frederic Chopin, Artur Rubinstein

RCA Victor Europe, 1991

The ultimate gift.
This is an incredible collection. I have been listening through the box and am up to disc ten this morning. I don't know how anyone can claim not to like classical music when you listen to the beauty of Chopin's Berceuse. The color and beauty of Rubinstein's playing is ...

25 Bach Favorites

Hildegard Rutgers, Erich Wenk, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Bach
Surely you don't need me to review the guy. You know who he is, you've heard his music, and I hope you own some. So let me turn the podium over to a cat named Picasso, and you can read into that whatever you wish. She's in a chair, near the CD player. She has entered ...

The Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World...Ever!

Johann Sebastian Bach, Léo Delibes, ...

EMI Classics, 1999

music
I enjoy this type of music. For relaxation, it's great. Great for background music when I'm working.

Piano Concertos

Frédéric François Chopin, Jerzy Semkow, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2010

A great young pianist keeps fulfilling his promise
The stature of young Rafal Blechacz has yet to reach the general music public. When he was awarded all five prizes at the 2005 Chopin competition, one judge declared that it was misleading to give a second prize, such was the distance between Blechacz and the field, ...

Chris Botti in Boston

Columbia, 2009

Beautiful music
I saw him on TV and love the CD. I brought it with me to his show at the Blue Note in NYC and he signed it. Great souvenir.

Great classic guitar
If you like classic guitar music this one might be for you. It's great background music. I listen to it when painting. It's great.
