Wagner: The Great Operas from the Bayreuth Festival

Richard Wagner, Karl Bohm, ...

Decca, 2008

Irresistible bargain for Wagnerites and explorers
This 33-CD compendium is certainly one of the finest bargains Decca has made available. All these recordings were made from live and rehearsal performances at Bayreuth and all are in fine stereo sound, well-mastered, which captures the Green Hill acoustic wonderfully ...

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. ...

Baby Einstein: Baby Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Baby Einstein Music Box Orchestra

Buena Vista, 2002

another great classical cd for babies
I am so glad to add Baby Mozart to my Baby Einstein collection. I listen to this CD and my Baby Bach daily. A must have for your little one.

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 ...

Josh Groban

Josh Groban

The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Denon Records, 2004

sooth for both unborn and newborn babies.
very soothing for the unborn baby (decreases in-utero kicking) and the newborn baby (increases between-feedings time at night). highly recommended for any newly minted parents out there.

The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe

Johann Pachelbel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

Denon Records, 2003

Relaxing Classical Music
I was not really a classical music fan but I am now. I purchased this cd for my 14 year old grand-daughter, not knowing we would both enjoy the music so much. She has always enjoyed classical music along with all of the other teen music, rap, rock, country, etc. ...

The Mystery Of Santo Domingo De Silos Gregorian Chant From Spain

Dom Ismaael Fernandez De La Cuesta, Chorus of Monks from the Abbey

Deutsche Grammophon, 1994

Gregorian Chant as it should always be!
The monks of Santo Domingo de silos follow the rites and traditions of the ancient Mozarabic period of Hispania (modern day Spain). This period stemmed from the Visigothic period of control over the former Roman protectorate. And from this period throughout the ...

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

Johann Sebastian Bach, Léo Delibes, ...

Angel Records, 1999

Good for relaxing pregnant women
I stumbled onto this album whilst searching bit torrent websites for classical music. I don't normally listen to classical music but thought it might be relaxing for my pregnant wife. After hearing the quality of the performances, the arrangement, and the recording I ...

Bernstein Century - Copland: Appalachian Spring, Rodeo, etc / Bernstein, New York PO

Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1997

Definitive Recordings of Copland's Popular Ballet Scores From Bernstein, NYPO
Without question, this splendid CD is my favorite recording of some of Aaron Copland's most popular orchestral ballet scores. In Leonard Bernstein he had both a good friend and a devout ally, who successfully championed Copland's music, helping to ensure his reputation ...

Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition, A Night on Bald Mountain, and Other Russian Showpieces [Hybrid SACD]

Modest Mussorgsky, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

RCA, 2004

Wow!
How can something older than me sound so good? The recording is top notch. Dont be fooled into thinking it is "just stereo", the ambience of symphony hall comes thru as though it were recorded in surround. Exquisite detail and perfect tempo. Timpani has realistic ...

Romance of the Violin

Joshua Bell, Giacomo Puccini

Sony, 2003

very good
I have several of Mr Bells CD's and enjoy all of them. This is the best CD I own. The music is very relaxing and the sound of the strad is awesome. We listen to it nightly (kids) as a bedtime routine and I never tire of it. You would not regret this purchase.

The Berlin Concert - Live from Waldbuhne

Rolando Villazon, Anna Netrebko

Deutsche Grammophon, 2007

You will be musically intoxicated !
This is without doubt the finest concert I have ever enjoyed. It has wonderful music throughout, performed by three world superstars at their very best, with terrific charisma and chemistry, especially during the five encores when everybody including the performers, ...

Appalachia Waltz / Ma, Meyer, O'Connor

Edgar Meyer, Yo-Yo Ma, ...

Sony, 1996

Welcome to "alternative" classical music!
It's wonderful to hear three such talented musicians put together a collection of non-classical music on revered instruments. This is not "The Yo-yo Ma Show" with two other guys! The music is varied but the performances are great and -- in some cases, e.g. Appalachia ...
