Variations

A State of Wonder: The Complete Goldberg Variations (1955 & 1981)

Johann Sebastian Bach, Glenn Gould, ...

Sony, 2002

Really, so NO ONE in 1981 realized the analog tapes sounder better?
Most of us may remember the "perfect music forever" marketing that introduced CDs 25 years ago... those of us with working ears pretty quickly dismissed it for the hype it was... I've got both the '55 and '81 versions and now this release. I have NO regrets re the ...

Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces

Essential Guitar: 34 Gtr Masterpieces

Decca, 2002

Two-and-a-half hours of bliss
This may be the best money I've ever spent. I got 2-1/2 hours of bliss for less than what I'd usually pay for one CD -- and you know how it is with music. You buy an album because of a song or two that you love, and you find that you like maybe half the songs on it. ...

The Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World...Ever!

Johann Sebastian Bach, Léo Delibes, ...

Angel Records, 1999

Good for relaxing pregnant women
I stumbled onto this album whilst searching bit torrent websites for classical music. I don't normally listen to classical music but thought it might be relaxing for my pregnant wife. After hearing the quality of the performances, the arrangement, and the recording I ...

Revolutionary [Includes Bonus DVD]

Johann Sebastian Bach, Cameron Carpenter, ...

Telarc, 2008

Amazing!
Cameron takes the organ, an instrument that has rarely been recognized in any other setting other than church, and brings it out into a performance realm. Cameron is a prodigy and he will bring a lot more interest and respect to the organ world. Whether you love ...

Frank Morelli, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

great gift
Bought this product for my grandchild to introduce him to classical music. It was perfect. Thanks

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.

The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe

Johann Pachelbel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

Denon Records, 2003

Relaxing Classical Music
I was not really a classical music fan but I am now. I purchased this cd for my 14 year old grand-daughter, not knowing we would both enjoy the music so much. She has always enjoyed classical music along with all of the other teen music, rap, rock, country, etc. ...

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.

Bach Edition: Complete Works (155 CD Box Set)

Johann Sebastian Bach, Andrew Manze, ...

Brilliant Classics, 2006

Wonderful, wonderful music
Even though I have a lot of other Bach records, this is different, like being in the ocean. What a joy. Buy it; it's unbelievable. The organ works, violin and harpsichord material, and most concertos and orchestral works, have NOTHING wrong with them per se; if you ...

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.

Art of Segovia

Andres Segovia

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

Great Sound Quality; Great Value
The 24-bit remastering of these analog recordings from the 1950s and 60s is outstanding. Both disks are chock-full at almost 80 minutes each, and there are a good many songs you don't hear every day. Forty of the 41 tracks are solos, while a short Rodrigo orchestral ...

Pachelbel's Greatest Hit: Canon in D

Norman Fischer, Johann Pachelbel, ...

RCA, 1991

fabulous ~~not enough stars!!
This is probably the best CD we have purchased in ages. There is a variety of artists, each incredibly beautiful. Almost every evening this summer we sit out on the screened-in porch with a glass of wine and unwind from a busy work day listening to this CD. It is ...

Bernstein Favorites: Children's Classics

Benjamin Britten, Sergey Prokofiev, ...

Sony, 1991

No kindermusic nonsense
Best 4 dollars spent in my entire life. My 4 yr-old son absolutely loves this CD (in the car, he begs to listen to 'Benjamin Britten's drums' again and again -such whining is music to my ears!). Bernstein's narration is charming, though occasionally his explanation of ...

The Mozart Effect - Music for Babies - Playtime to Sleepytime

Leopold Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

Children's Group, 1998

A wonderful CD
I received several classical music CD's as gifts before my daughter was born, and out of all of them (also including classical CD's I had already owned) this is definitely my favorite. It stands out because it is not full of simply "traditional" arrangements but ...
