Symphonies

Gershwin: Rhapsody In Blue/An American In Paris

George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Sony, 1990

A glorious tribute!
To play Gershwin accurately demands from the player, the absolute domain of an invisible taste, unsaid in the score. Few pianists (and Bernstein is among them) were able to convey the listener, this savoir vivre, humor, elegance, that idiomatic atmosphere that plainly ...

Baby Einstein: Baby Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Baby Einstein Music Box Orchestra

Buena Vista, 2002

another great classical cd for babies
I am so glad to add Baby Mozart to my Baby Einstein collection. I listen to this CD and my Baby Bach daily. A must have for your little one.

The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Denon Records, 2004

sooth for both unborn and newborn babies.
very soothing for the unborn baby (decreases in-utero kicking) and the newborn baby (increases between-feedings time at night). highly recommended for any newly minted parents out there.

Luciano Pavarotti: The Best (Farewell Tour)

Eric Garrett, Rolando Panerai, ...

Decca, 2005

A gift for my dad
The CD wasn't originally for me but my dad loves it. He plays it all the time and claims its a very complete collection of the artist.

Fiesta

Leonard Bernstein, Inocente Carreno, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2008

Who are you going to believe?
The other reviewer is just DEAD WRONG. This cd is a delight. Here's what Grammaphone had to say about it: [August 2008 CD of the Month] Here is confirmation of a pulsating talent and, perhaps, a glimpse of the future. Dudamel's charisma beats through every bar of ...

Classical Music for Children: A Toddler's Introduction to Classical Music

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Ent. Media Partners, 1997

He started dancing as soon as we put it on!
My 12 month old loves this CD and happily bops away to the music (in the car he sometimes even starts singing!). We like it too and not being very well versed in Classical music, it is a nice mix for us.

Time to Say Goodbye

Sarah Brightman, London Symphony Orchestra

Angel Records, 1997

Voice from Heaven
Sara Brightman is a very sexy women with an wonderfull voice. Hearing her sing is an relief from all the carbage we hear daily on the radio en TV

25 Mozart Favorites

John Sant'Ambrogio, George Silfies, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Wonderful collection and price!
I found this to be a nice collection of favorites, especially to keep in the car and listen to. It is a variety of well known compilations. Although not encompassing, it is perfect as a review for driving, relaxing, and enjoyment. Plus, the price is right!

Dead Symphony No. 6

Lee Johnson/Russian National Orchestra

OMI Records, 2007

Fantastic Re-Imagining
Lee Johnson has taken the work of the Dead and re-imagined it as orchestral music. It is remarkably provocative and demands close listening. My wife is a classical musician, and upon hearing Johnson's work, she is now quite interested in listening more closely to the ...

Beethoven: Symphonies 5 & 7

Ludwig van Beethoven, Carlos Kleiber, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

Great performances
This is the best modern recording of Beethoven symphonies. A collectors album of the highest quality. R. Brown

Sarah Brightman Classics

Sarah Brightman, Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni, ...

Angel Records, 2002

Ahh Sarah!
Is there a better singer in the world? I don't think so, but in any case, this new album from the now very svelte and very georgeous Sarah Brightman is superb. The power, the control, the clarity is all there. This experienced vocalist is the definition of a world ...

Tchaikovsky: Violin Concerto Op35; Brahms: Violin Concerto in D Op77

Johannes Brahms, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ...

EMI Classics, 1995

Possibly the biggest steal in all of recorded music !
As one who grew up adoring the Jascha Heifetz/Fritz Reiner recordings of these two great concerti, and certain they had set a standard of musical excellence impossible of being equalled, much less bettered, imagine my surprise upon hearing this fabulous disc. ...

Jacqueline du Pre - Favourite Cello Concertos ~ Boccherini, Dvorak, Elgar, Haydn, Monn, Saint-Saens, Schumann

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's Wig: Sing Along Symphonies

Beethoven's Wig

Rounder / Umgd, 2002

Teaching Kids to Love Classical Music
This is a great product. The kids love it. Some reviews have mentioned that the lead vocalist is not very melodic. However, I see this as a plus. He has a zany way of cracking his voice which is a hilarious complement to the other opera-class voices on the CD. My kids ...
