Compendia, 1997 Great Deal on Great Music We love this collection and it came at such a reasonable price. Our ten month old also seems to enjoy it, especially "Maple Leaf Rag".             Reflection Truls Mørk, Johannes Brahms, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2006 Understanding the Intricacies of the Schumann/Brahms Love Triangle Whispers, poems, and pages have been floating around for years about the strangely romantic triangle that bound the composers Robert Schumann, Clara Wieck Schumann and Johannes Brahms - secrets that will be forever the purview of intuitive writers and philosophers and ...             Reflections of Spain: Spanish Favorites for Guitar David Russell, Isaac Albeniz, ... Telarc, 2002 The Best This is the best Spanish guitar CDs that I have found. Even with "Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces" having more tracks and two CDs, this is better material. I am not saying that "33 Guitar Masterpiece" was bad, I actually rate it second. No need to skip ...             Scott Joplin: His Complete Works Scott Joplin, Joseph Lamb, ... Bescol, 1994 Available at retailers for about $18 Excellent collection - but there are re-sellers listed here that are selling this for as much $50 or $60. Yikes, most major retailers are selling this complete set for $18 - so beware.             Christopher Parkening · Elmer Bernstein ~ Concerto for Guitar - E. Bernstein · Albeniz · Marshall Elmer Bernstein, Isaac Albeniz, ... Angel Records, 2000 Great Music As I was reading the reviews by other, I was wondering if they ever held a guitar in their arms? Mr Parkening plays the guitar wonderful, no wonder why he is one of the greatest guitarists of our times. I like this recording, my favorite is the guitar concerto by ...             Romances & Elegies for Viola & Piano Benjamin Britten, Elliott Carter, ... Ecm Records, 2000 Songs for Winter Solstice Perhaps none of the composers of this lovely set of works for viola and piano had in mind the death theme surrounding the winter solstice, the end of the season of growing, a time for pause and even sleep to prepare for the rumblings of rebirth, but that is what comes ...             Debussy at Dawn George Pieterson, Claude Debussy, ... Philips, 1997 An absolute joy So many pieces on this album are jewels. "Le fille aux cheveux de lin" and "Nocturnes for Orchestra - Sirenes" are particularly heavenly. "The Sea at Dawn" has an amazing sense of freshness and motion to it and is well placed at the beginning of the CD. A few of the ...             Reflections On Duke - Jean-Yves Thibaudet Plays The Music Of Duke Ellington Jean-Yves Thibaudet Decca, 1999 THIBAUDET'S ELLINGTON is as good as THIBAUDET'S RAVEL. Jean-Yves Thibaudet is a master of French pianism: the playing on his Debussy and Ravel discs is hard to beat by anyone, living or dead. In fact, his 2 cd disc of the complete piano pieces of Ravel is one of my favorites ever. This new cd of arragements of the ...             Black Mirror: Reflections in Global Musics 1918-1955 Various Artists Dust to Digital, 2007 Superb No, I don't work for Dust to Digital, but I sure admire them. This is an excellent collection of ear and mind expanding selections from out of the past. I like world music but most of the world music I own is from closer to our day and age and has all the modern ...             The Original Four Seasons And The Devil's Trill Sonata / Vanessa-Mae Andrew Shulman, Jean-Luc Bourre, ... Angel Records, 1999 cheeky and good It's interesting what other reviewers have to say about Vanessa Mae's Four Seasons album (EMI 1998). While the album averages a decent four stars rating, those who rate it badly are particularly virulent in their reviews: "Sloppy and vapid," "Barely deserves 1 star," ...             Mikrokosmos / Sonata for 2 Pianos & Percussion Bartok, Pasztory-Bartok, ... Pearl, 2003             Britten: Simple Symphony; Temporal Variations; Suite on English Folk Tunes Benjamin Britten, John Philip, ... Naxos, 2005 An Important Britten Collection Another in the reissues from Naxos from the valuable Britten series on the now-defunct Collins Classics, this program was originally published in 1998. Steuart Bedford is undoubtedly the leading Britten conductor and this is left in no doubt in this delightful ...             Bela Bartok: Mikrokosmos Bela Bartok, Gyorgy Sandor Sony, 1993 The slender difference that makes the great difference! At the actual moments it's hard to find out that unusual and missed way of play Bartok with these well known dissonant inflections, for all of us who had the immense privilege to watch this legendary pianist twice in Caracas in the seventies and eighties. To this ...             Ragtime & Blue Elena Kats-Chernin, Sarah Nicolls, ... Signum UK, 2005 post modern ragtime meets palm court A terrific suite of small pieces suffused with melancholy underneath even the most upbeat melodies. This is a composer with whom I was unfamiliar until seeing a San Francisco Ballet piece choreographed to music from this CD. The program notes to BLUE ROSE which was a ...             Elite Syncopations: Classic Ragtime from Rare Piano Rolls W.C. Handy, Scott Joplin Shout Factory, 2003 Exposes the real ragtime I think we have a tendency to play older music to match the expectations of our modern ear. This can bring new views and fresh insights, but it can also lose the original vision of the composer. I enjoy the massive orchestrations played on modern instruments, but I ...          products you might be interested in   search for classical music christopher, mikrokosmos, reflections, syncopations, vanessa-mae, variations      toavi.com    web we recommend THIBAUDET'S ELLINGTON is as good as THIBAUDET'S RAVEL. randomly chosen DVD: Frosty the Snowman/Frosty Returns
