Systematic Theolog... Tell Me a Riddle [... The Glorious Sound... And the Ass Saw th... Quilter

Roger Quilter, Charles Tomlinson Griffes, ...

Onyx Classics UK, 2005

A different-sounding Barbara Bonney, but I like it!
As the others have noted, those accustomed to Bonney's slender, silvery voice from her previous recordings might be in for a shock here. On this most recent recording of hers, she sounds much darker, richer, and creamier than in anything she's done before--practically ...

Arleen Auger - Love Songs featuring Dalton Baldwin, piano

Frank Bridge, Benjamin Britten, ...

Delos Records, 1992

Hidden Treasure
This recording is possibly one of the best examples of beautiful singing one will ever find. The repertoire, the artfulness, the line and the sheer beauty of Miss Auger's voice is a rare find. I've just recently purchased another copy as I loaned mine to a friend who ...

Roger Quilter: British Light Music

Roger Quilter, Adrian Leaper, ...

Marco Polo, 1994

Gentle Post-Delian Serenades
This CD is one of the more substantial offerings in the Marco Polo British Light Music Series. This was a genre of music that my generation and above listened to in the pram and perhaps even in utero when the Light Programme existed! The major composer Frederick ...

EMI Classics, 2003

Piano/Dreams
I love this cd so much I been play in my store all time and so many customers come up to ask what's cd are we playing and where to get it, i give them all information I know. we love it.

Chanson d'Amour

King's Singers, Juan de Anchieta, ...

RCA, 1993

You must buy this!
There's not much I can say about this album. It's perfect. Completely a cappella, it shows off everything that make the King's Singers one of the world's most masterful vocal ensembles. My two personal favorite tracks are "She's Like the Swallow" and "If Music Be ...

A Song in my Heart

Bryn Terfel, Thomas Allen, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2007

Bryn Terfel A Song in my heart
I enjoyed this CD!. Mr Terfel is an artiste who can cross many musical boundaries would highly reccomend

Songs By Roger Quilter

Roger Quilter, Malcolm Martineau, ...

Hyperion UK, 1996

Unexpected pleasure
This is an interesting recital of songs, not all of them first-rate, but I find I go back to it again and again. Martineau is a sensitive, intelligent accompanist. John Mark Ainsley treats each song, and his audience, with respect. At no stage do you get the idea ...

Hely-Hutchinson: Carol Symphony; Warlock, et al /Rose, et al

John Barrow, Victor Hely-Hutchinson, ...

Angel Records, 2001

The Vaughan-Williams Fantasia is heavenly
This recording is a bit strange, in that the core music surrounding the Christmas season is followed by some selections totally unrelated to the holiday. I guess the producers wanted to fill out the CD rather than have a short-timing (this music program was first ...

The Sublime Treble Voice of James Rainbird

John Dowland, Philip Rosseter, ...

Priory Records UK, 2004

One of a kind voice
James Rainbird was probably the greatest boy treble voice of all time. At twelve, when this album was recorded, he was at his peak and even though the sound quality is not the best it is still a great album. Some of the songs are very moving such as "Sure on This ...

The Piano Album

Edward MacDowell, Frederic Chopin, ...

EMI Classics, 1998

Incredible!
I am a pianophile and longtime record collector, and this is one of the most awe-inspiring recordings I have ever heard. Stephen Hough's pianism - and I don't mean to be hyperbolic - simply exhausts all adjectives one might try to use to describe it. This is the kind ...

Love Blows as the Wind Blows: English and American Songs / Jonathan Lemalu

Jonathan Lemalu, Roger Quilter

EMI Europe Generic, 2005

Promises Kept
Some months back Jonathan Lemalu was introduced to us with a collection of Opera Arias, a recording that showed great promise of an important voice but also one that raised questions about the durability of the vocal technique. He sounded promising: with this ...

My Favorite Things
Edward MacDowell, Franz Liszt, ...

Nimbus Records, 2009

Virtually all the pieces in this recital were written by pianist-composers rather than composer-pianists, the majority prominent at the turn of the century. They are somehow part and parcel of a 19th century tradition--a love of encores, of the teasing and delectable. They could also be considered an overspill from several great pianists' careers, ...

The Best of the King's Singers
Simon Carrington, Bruce Russell, ...

RCA Victor Europe, 2008

2008 5 cd compilation celebrating their 40th year. The King's Singers repertoire is all encompassing; from medieval music to masterpieces of the Renaissance, from lieder to folk, pop and jazz or with a contemporary commission from a leading composer, they are constantly expanding their repertoire. Since their debut concert in 1968 they have ...

Lullaby

Julian Lloyd Webber, Robert Schumann, ...

Polygram Records, 1996

Parent's blessing!
I have two of these cd's. My kids are 2 and 4 and I bought the first cd when my daughter was a newborn. These have been a true blessing and most evenings, put ME to sleep along with my daughter as I'm getting her settled and to sleep. SOO soothing and ...

English Song Album

Heddle Nash, John Cameron, ...

Dutton Labs UK, 2000

Splendid voices ... and every word understood.
Dutton releases continue to win high praise. The authors of a guide to CDs wrote recently, "Almost everything (Mike Dutton) processes seems to turn to gold and the results are sometimes little short of miraculous". Beautifully processed here is a collections of ...
