Andre Rieu
Denon Records, 2007
Excellent
I have watched Andre Rieu live from NY Radio City so many times and have totally enjoyed it each and every time. I purchased the DVD for some family and friends and they have also enjoyed it, they couldn't thank me enough for sending it to them. Andre Rieu did a ...

A Chris Botti Fan
My husband and I saw Chris Botti last weekend in Temecula, CA. He and his band delivery high quality entertainment. Catch them in person whenever you can. As for Italia, we just finished listening to this album for the third time -- in 3 hours. It is beautiful and ...
Baby Einstein - Baby Mozart - Music Festival
WALT DISNEY VIDEO, 2004
Life Saver
This product was recommended to me by my cousin. It has been well worth the $15-and then some. My son loves it-and has loved it since he was 3 months old. He's now 11 months and will still sit & watch it. I actually enjoy watching it myself-it's very intriguing. ...

A great cd
The music selection makes us play the cd over and over. A great setting for the cd. The vocals really make the cd.

Orange Mountain Music, 2008
loved it!
This is quite unlike Philip Glass' minimalism music. It is lush and fluid, written for Wendy Sutter, whom he loves. It is obvious and lovely. The old cello she plays has a wonderful deep tone and she plays with controlled virtuosity and passionate feeling. Highly ...
Music of the Spheres
Mike Oldfield
Decca, 2008
A Heaven Sent Opus
Within the first 5 seconds of the first song on the first listen - I was hooked - Didn't matter what was to come - I KNEW I'd love it. I've always admired Mike Oldfield's works. Sometimes they are great and sometimes they are outstanding. This falls in the later. ...
Mozart /Chopin/Rachmaninov: Richter - Classic Archive
Euroarts, 2008
Richter at the Barbican
This recital was originally broadcast on BBC-TV in 1989. Richter was 74 then but clearly had not lost any of his powers. He had, however, developed some idiosyncrasies that have a bearing on this recording. He was playing this recital, consisting of three Mozart ...
Glenn Gould: The Complete Original Jacket Collection - Amazon.com Exclusive
Glenn Gould
SONY CLASSICS, 2007
an astounding collection
In recording technology, Glenn Gould saw a new future for music -- a future not of the public concert, or even of the "embalmed concert moment" (as he referred to un-edited "live" recordings), but one in which the artist was able to splice and edit until he reached a ...
Andre Rieu in Wonderland (incl bonus CD)
Andre Rieu
Denon Records, 2008
I LOVE this DVD!
The background music on the main menu screen is from "Gone with the Wind" and is absolutely excellent! The opening of the presentation starts with music from "Space Odyssey" and is phenomenal! The reproduction of the audio could not be better! The entire presentation ...

Argerich Talks and Plays
Martha Argerich, for many of us, has long been an enigma. She has always been a private person, one who does not seek the spotlight, who even cancels performances because, it is said, of nervousness, shyness. Filmmaker Georges Gachot, after years of entreaties, gets ...
Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Chopin, Bach, Brahms: Alexis Weissenberg - Classic Archive

Stravinsky
Medici Masters, 2008
One of the Most Extraordinary Piano Films Ever Made
My title applies primarily to the 1965 black & white film of Alexis Weissenberg playing Stravinsky's Three Movements from Petrushka, amazingly creatively filmed in Stockholm by Ĺke Falck. I remember seeing this film on TV almost forty years ago and the memory of it has ...
Beethoven: The Piano Concertos [DVD Video]
Deutsche Grammophon, 2007
Elegant Beethoven from Bernstein and Zimerman
It is instructive to compare these performances to the recently released Beethoven Piano Concertos played by Vladimir Ashkenazy and the Bernard Haitink led London Philharmonic, filmed in 1974. The Ashkenazy Beethoven performances are traditional, with a larger ...
Echoes: The Einaudi Collection
Ludovico Einaudi
Bmg Europe, 2003
Absolutely beautiful...
Ludovici Einaudi is one of the most gifted composers active today. This collection contains many pieces of quiet beauty. I am tempted to describe his music as a cross between George Winston and Philip Glass, although that is perhaps not fair to all three composers, as ...

Ponderosa Italy, 2008
Even bettter than I expected it to be
I often have "Soundscapes" on during the day, but do not leave on the TV monitor, as I cannot always see it. However, when I do hear a song that grabs my attention, I will walk over and turn on the monitor to see the name and the artist of the song. Many times ...

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 ...
