Essential George Gershwin
Various Artists

Sony, 2003

Gershwin on the Money!
Perlude #2 of Gershwin's "Three Preludes" is my all time favorite piece of music, and this wonderful cd presents it in a warm and loving way, as I think George Gershwin would have.
  
  











  



  
Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces
Essential Guitar: 34 Gtr Masterpieces

Decca, 2002

Two-and-a-half hours of bliss
This may be the best money I've ever spent. I got 2-1/2 hours of bliss for less than what I'd usually pay for one CD -- and you know how it is with music. You buy an album because of a song or two that you love, and you find that you like maybe half the songs on it. ...
  
  











  



  
Essential Baroque
Essential Baroque

Decca, 2002

High-quality, marvelously varied intro to baroque music
I am buying this as the perfect gift for Russian and Chinese scientist friends. They have knowledge of classical music but perhaps not much about baroque music, which achieved special popularity in the U.S. during the 1970's and 1980's. Russians seem to have more ...
  
  











  



  
Essential Beethoven
Hans Sotin, Martti Talvela, ...

Decca, 2001

Great intro to Beethoven
Great intro to beethoven. There are many great performances by Ashkenazy, Academy of Saint Martin in the fields, Concertgetbouw Orchestra and many other exceptional artists. I would recommend this disc as it contains the masterpieces of beethoven, even though not all ...

Essential Verdi
Giuseppe Verdi, Alberto Erede, ...

Decca, 2001

Just Stunning!
In my opinion this recording is stunning. I am not usually a fan of compilations in classical music, as they're usually watered down representations made under the presumption that the listener would find the full-blown version intimidating or boring. This one, ...
  
  











  



  
The Essential Yo-Yo Ma
Edgar Meyer, Hector Console, ...

Sony, 2005

Yo-Yo CD
My nephew mentioned his desire to hear some classical music (Yo-Yo Ma, especially) on the boring trips back & forth from college. He really seemed to enjoy receiving the CD for Christmas!
  
  











  



  
Essential Vivaldi: 20 Greatest Masterpieces
a. Vivaldi

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

Awesome CD
I am ever in search for music for canine freestyle and my choreographer suggested that I explore Vivaldi. My dog works great to Mozart so this was not a great departure musically. So I bought this album...It exceeded my expectations as the musicians play with emotion, ...

The Essential Hilary Hahn
Johann Sebastian Bach, Samuel Barber, ...

Sony Classics, 2007

Lovely, accomplished, and astonishing!
This is a compendium of previously released material played by Hilary Hahn, master violinist. It's not often that one can recommend a particular Classical CD for both the Newbie and the Venerable Virtuoso as well, but in this case, I can joyfully do so without fear ...
  
  











  



  
The Essential Mario Lanza
Giuseppe Verdi, Giacomo Puccini, ...

RCA, 2007

Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life says it all. Lanza had an unbelieveable sound/instrument. His voice will always live on. BRAVO, Mario!
  
  











  



  
Essential Purcell
Henry Purcell, New College Choir Oxford, ...

Hyperion UK, 1995

Be Welcome then, great Sirs (and Mesdames).
If anyone has benefitted from the reversion in the last three or so decades to period instruments and historical reconstruction, it is Henry Purcell. Before, he was merely great, the peerless word-setter in the English language, a virtuoso of boundless range, a ...
  
  











  



  
The Power & The Majesty: Essential Choral Classics

Telarc, 1995

Best of American Choral Singing!
This CD could be the cornerstone of your choral music library! Wonderful performances of all of the essential choral pieces give a wonderful introduction to choral music for someone new to it, and also give a nice sampler of the best pieces for someone already familiar ...
