classical music: hildegard     classical music:     Hildegard      Puccini - Tosca (remastered) Hildegard Behrens, Placido Domingo Deutsche Grammophon, 2006 Tosca! Rome! Youth! Tosca was the first opera I ever saw, in 1964, from the last row of the topmost balcony of the Rome Opera. I went expecting not to be impressed, feeling a twenty-something surliness toward "bourgeois" art. Fortunately, it was a grand production, though I can't remember ...             von Bingen: Celestial Harmonies Hildegard Von Bingen, Summerly, ... Naxos, 2008 Mystic Music Yet another beautiful collection of songs of devotion in Latin, that send you soaring high, whether you are sitting quietly listening to them, or hearing them while you cook. What more could I say?             Hildegard von Bingen: Canticles of Ecstasy Hildegard of Bingen, Cologne Sequentia Ensemble for Medieval Music, ... RCA, 1994 Ecstatic Music, Ecstatically Performed. I had first heard this performance of St. Hildegard of Bingen's "Canticles of Ecstasy" on sound cassette and loved it. The music is sublime. The female voices are heavenly, without a hint of sentimentality. When you listen to "Canticles of Ecstasy" you will know ...             Hildegard von Bingen: Voice of the Blood Hildegard of Bingen, Cologne Sequentia Ensemble for Medieval Music RCA, 1995 Absolutely divine. "My husband and I first encountered this CD in our local library. It's one of those encounters that transformed our life. Listening to it almost daily, while we're getting ready for the day, while we're working on our computers, or while doing the dishes, has helped ...             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 ...             Vision: The Music of Hildegard von Bingen Hildegard von Bingen, Catherine King, ... Angel Records, 1994 Medieval meets lounge If Hildegard Von Bingen wrote music for a hip lounge, this would be it. Its amazing that music this old ( from the 1100's) can sound so wonderful and modern with the addition of modern instruments. It really energizes the old music I have couple of recordings of ...             Feather on the Breath of God Hildegard of Bingen, Doreen Muskett, ... Hyperion UK, 1993 Luminous Landmark recording of the early Kirkby glorying in this beautiful music. Ears that can do East and West may like to sample 'Shruti' by Sangeeta Bandyopadhyay - a similarly evocative and remarkable recording.             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 ...             Great Recordings Of The Century - Strauss, R.: Salome / Karajan, Behrens, Van Dam, Baltsa, et al Richard Strauss, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, ... EMI Classics, 1999 An ode to sensuousness. Generally, late 1970's and 1980's Karajan studio recordings, to my liking at least, must be approached with care and even mistrust. His immense talent not being the subject of discussion, yet as he aged he tended to give a lot more attention to how things were played, ...             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 ...             Hildegard von Bingen: Heavenly Revelations Hildegard of Bingen, Oxford Camerata, ... Naxos, 1995 delightfully pure for someone interested in early music this is a good place to start- von bingen's visions speak to us across nine centuries. liner notes are minimal, as is the case with most NAXOS titles, but lyrics in latin and english are provided, which is nice. oxford camerata is ...             Hildegard von Bingen: Symphoniae (Spiritual Songs) - Sequentia Hildegard von Bingen, Sequentia RCA, 1993 Great Introduction to Mystical Songs This recording deserves a special place for what it has done to bring the works of Hildegarde before the public. Recorded in the late 80's, it led the way, as has Sequentia, in bringing such early music treasures as Hildegarde before the listening public. The ...             Mozart: The Magic Flute (Highlights) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Karl Böhm, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1990 Excelente version! No entiendo: Porque está tan barato este CD?? Es una de las mejores versiones de "La flauta" que he escuchado, el dúo final de Papageno y Papagena es de lo más rico que he escuchado en Opera y la reyna de la noche no desmerece en absoluta junto a otras afamadas ...             A Portrait Of Anonymous 4 Anonymous 4 Harmonia Mundi Fr., 1997 If Angels Ever Recorded A CD Four female voices have never blended together so perfectly and beautifully as do those of the 'Anonymous 4.' Their CD titled, 'Portrait' contains a selection of tracks from seven other previous CD's, kind of a "Best Of" you might say. If angels ever came down from ...             The Origin of Fire: Music and Visions of Hildegard von Bingen Anonymous 4, Swiss Anonymous, ... Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2005 Literary scholarship and musical prowess At first, to be quite honest, this record did little for me: singing did not sound as enticing as in 11,000 Virgins, and there's very little music of Hildegard in it. Only 6 out of the 17 tracks have been set to music by her; opening and close hymns are not hers ...          products you might be interested in   search for classical music highlights, metropolitan, nibelungen, recordings, revelations, symphoniae      toavi.com    web randomly chosen book: I'm a Stranger Here Myself: Notes on Returning to America After 20 Years ...
