Our Heart's Joy: A Chanticleer Christmas

Chanticleer, Jean Mouton, ...

Chanticleer Records, 1992

Sublime Singing
The all male, A Capella choir Chanticleer includes songs of many styles on this recording, but one in particular has always shined the brightest for me. The "Ave Maria," written by Biebel, includes introductory passages of traditional Gregorian chant, which lead into ...

Gabrieli · Monteverdi · Vivaldi - Venetian Church Music / Taverner Consort, Choir & Players · Andrew Parrott

Giovanni Gabrieli, Claudio Monteverdi, ...

EMI Classics, 2001

exceptional tone quality
When I purchased this recording, I had not yet had the pleasure of owning an Andrew Parrott/Taverner Consort recording. I was so impressed! Andrew really excercises an understanding of this genre, an understanding that I haven't often seen. In particular I was quite ...

Michael Praetorius, Samuel Scheidt, ...

Archiv, 1994

***** - 8, 9, 10. There we go: 10 stars.
i have had this recording for several years now. its the first one of mccreesh's i bought. and i bought it based solely on the exceptional reviews given here on amazon (4 or 5 at the time). it is unarguably pointless to write a review now, but i am going to anyway ...

Ultimate Classical Christmas Album of All Time

Ultimate Classical Christmas Record of All Time

Sony, 2002

Breathtakingly beautiful!
Over and over we played "Die Menge der Engel" - - it is stunningly beautiful! The loftiness of the voices, wonderful. We loved the boys/children's choruses on many of the other pieces on the album. Duets by Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavorati - - magnifico! It ...

Christmas Adagios

Gerald Finley, Adolphe Adam, ...

Decca, 2001

One of my very top 5 favorite holiday albums!
What a delightful surprise this 2 disc album was and I'm not a big fan of Christmas music. I loved all the selections and felt they were well performed. This is a true "must have" for any Christmas collection. Superior to many other compliations on the market. This ...

The Antiphonal Music of Gabrieli

Girolamo Frescobaldi, Giovanni Gabrieli, ...

Sony, 1996

Purists look elsewhere... All else, buy now!
Imagine a pastry chef of a future age who sees a perfect color picture of an historical artifact known as a "hamburger." Using this image, he perfectly recreates it using the tool of his trade, the primary ingredients being meringue for the bun and mousse for the ...

The Baroque Christmas Album

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

Archiv Produktion, 2005

5-PLUS Stars
There are not many things in life that I would describe as just Gorgeous -- but this album is definitely one of them. The selections, the arrangements, the production quality, all are clean, yet lush -- simultaneously light and rich. The effect is wonderful. This ...

William Byrd, John Dowland, ...

Delos Records, 1993

Best Carols 100

Gareth Morrell, Hermann Prey, ...

EMI Classics, 2007

Unbelievable bargain
I agree with the initial reviewer's comments. I've accumulated many exquisite Christmas recordings over the years, some unmatched in their beauty and quality, but this is a gem in its own right. This would make a great addition to any collection, particularly as an ...

Essential Tchaikovsky

Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

Decca, 2002

Best of the best
There's something for every Tchaikovsky lover on this disc. From Swan Lake to Onegin, many of Tchaikovsky's most-known melodies are on this disc. I'd have preferred more than an excerpt of the first movement of Piano Concerto No. 1, but this disc is a great ...

Masters of the Trumpet

Johann Georg Albrechtsberger, Johann Ernst Altenburg, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2005

fun trumpets
"Masters of The Trumpet" is a simple and accurate title for this 2- disc collection. The recordings cover trumpet/cornet literature ranging from Gabrieli to Stravinsky. Especially enjoyable moments are Don Smithers playing Reiche's "Abblasen" & Armando Ghitalla's ...

Greatest Hits: Trumpet

Leroy Anderson, Jean-Baptiste Arban, ...

Sony, 1994

A Wonderful Collection
This is a splendid anthology of music. Traditional Baroque and orchestral pieces up front, and a few surprises nearer the end. A splendid work. The price makes it a steal. Add it to your cart. You will not be sorry. There is technical excellence - peace in some ...

Joseph Haydn, Paul McCreesh, ...

ARCHIV Produktion, 2008

McCreesh & Co.: Haydn Creation : English Libretto: Most Modern Yet Timeless
Okay first things first. This new recording of the English version of Haydn's Creation oratorio goes right to the fav shelf. There you will also find several German language versions, plus a few English ones. Old favs tend to be big bands with conductors like ...
