Edward Elgar
,
Luigi Boccherini
, ...
EMI Classics, 1990
I THOUGHT I had heard these concertos,,,
UNTIL I was fortunate enough to have heard them performed by Jacqueline du Pre!!! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! Her superb playing, along with truly masterful interpretative skills, just "comes pouring out of the speakers!" Also, the orchestras were obviously truly ...
Beethoven - The Complete String Quartets / Alban Berg Quartet
Ludwig van Beethoven
,
Alban Berg Quartet
, ...
EMI Classics, 1999
Budget priced, in a strange order, but excellent
A great job by the Berg quartet. I started with the old Columbia LP of the Budapest's version of the final quartets, but it would be a false note for the Berg quartet to try to recapture the feeling of disaster that pervades the Budapest versions, made as these were ...

Andrew Manze

Brilliant Classics, 2006
so far, definitely so good
I have listened to, thus far, 122 discs and have enjoyed all but three of the performances, especially the Mass in B Minor, Magnificat, Christmas Oratorio, Goldberg Variations, The Art of Fugue, and to my surprise in spite of unfavourable reviews elsewhere, the Sacred ...

Decca, 2008
Irresistible bargain for Wagnerites and explorers
This 33-CD compendium is certainly one of the finest bargains Decca has made available. All these recordings were made from live and rehearsal performances at Bayreuth and all are in fine stereo sound, well-mastered, which captures the Green Hill acoustic wonderfully ...
A Bride's Guide to Wedding Music
Johann Sebastian Bach

Ludwig van Beethoven

Naxos, 2002
A must have in your music library
I had ordered this cd on the recommendation of the musical director from my Church who has quite an extensive international background. I mistakenly thought I would just use it to pick out songs for the ceremony portion of my wedding. It turns out it has so many ...

Orange Mountain Music, 2008
Opera Grows Up
Philip Glass and librettist Christopher Hampton have adapted J. M. Coetzee's parable about power and inhumanity in an opera that staggers in both dramatic power and beauty. The story is set in a town on the fringes of a nameless Empire that is in the process of ...

Glenn Gould: The Complete Original Jacket Collection - Amazon.com Exclusive
Glenn Gould
SONY CLASSICS, 2007
Get it while you can
Glenn Gould lives up to the sound bite given by George Szell -- "That nut is a genius." Gould's interpretations are controversial. Some detest his singing along with his playing. Others think he is too mannered, too idiosyncratic in his interpretations, still ...

Brian Etheridge

EMI Classics, 2008
Great Value, Fine Performances
For lovers of Ralph Vaughan Williams' music, the prospect of obtaining most of his works on 30 CDs for $50 or less should be irresistible. It's a great way to fill in the gaps in your collection, or to become acquainted with RVW's less familiar works. Among the ...
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 ...

Florian Prey

Brilliant Classics, 2007
Very high quality set - a great buy!
I have not found one disc that is of poor quality. Sometimes with box sets that are compilations from various artists, the volume level and purity of the sound can be inconsistent. I have not found that problem to be present with this set. Obviously,one disc may be ...

Brilliant Classics, 2005
A wonderful set !
I bought the complete set for my birthday. What a wonderful surprise ! Let's say I did not know much about Mozart's music except some few "classics" (the symphonies, the requiem, some piano concertos and sonatas, some serenades and the operas). I love every piece I ...

I Wish There Is a DVD for This Cast!!!
I bought the recording in the tape form years ago. I could not listen to it any more because of the wear after I played it too many times. Fortunately, technology came to the resue, CD!!! The tenderness, emotion, range, and capacity, from a delicate note to a full ...
