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 ...

Fast Times at Barrington High

The Academy Is...

Fueled By Ramen, 2008

Very Excellent Album
For the reviewer above me, don't you get it?! Not very many band's want to create the same album over and over for their entire career! It is a little bit odd that all of the songs are about girls, but at least their moving in a fresh new direction. Besides, think to ...

Out Of Africa: Music From The Motion Picture Soundtrack

John Barry, Ernest R. Ball, ...

Mca, 1990

Mental Safari
I was lucky enough to actually safari in Africa in the late 80's. With this CD I can close my eyes and remember the wonderful journey. Of course the movie provided visual benefits as well.

Bach: Brandenburg Concertos No. 1-4; Neville Marriner; Academy of St. Martin in the Fields

Johann Sebastian Bach, Sir Neville Marriner, ...

EMI Classics, 2004

Easy to Enjoy
I am not a musician nor can I identify Bach's Brandenburg Concerto number one from number five. However, I am an avid listener and do enjoy classical music. I know how good the Academy of St Martin in the Fields is and what a great conductor Sir Neville Marriner is. ...

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. ...

Mozart: The Great Piano Concertos, Vol. 1

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Neville Marriner, ...

Philips, 1994

Brendel and Marriner play Mozart at a bargain price
Philip's two double-CD sets of Alfred Brendel and Neville Marriner performing a total of ten of Mozart's great piano concertos, plus two rondos for piano and orchestra, must rate as one of the best of many bargains available in their "2 for 1" series. The four CDs add ...

Romance of the Violin

Joshua Bell, Giacomo Puccini

Sony, 2003

very good
I have several of Mr Bells CD's and enjoy all of them. This is the best CD I own. The music is very relaxing and the sound of the strad is awesome. We listen to it nightly (kids) as a bedtime routine and I never tire of it. You would not regret this purchase.

Eva Czako, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ...

Philips, 1996

Love it
I got this about a month ago and listen to it in the car and so enjoy my ride to work now. Its so soothing and I cannot wait to play it to my baby once she is born. I am sure it will help to calm and relax her to sleep since I have so enjoyed listening to it during my ...

Amadeus: Original Soundtrack Recording

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Anonymous, ...

Fantasy, 1992

A must-have
This album was my starting point on listening to Mozart. After watching the film in 1984, I knew I had to own it. Needless to say, it is full of the most beautiful melodies ever written. A must-have for every music lover.

Bach: Brandenburg Concertos No. 5 & 6/Orchestral Suite No. 1; Neville Marriner; Academy of St. Martin in the ...

Mozart for Meditation

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Colin Davis, ...

Philips, 1995

Excellent for Massage!
I'm a licensed massage therapist, and I absolutely adore using this CD during my sessions! It's a great alternative to the new age-y music styles that are so pervasive in the relaxation music scene -- my clients find this CD soothing & relaxing, and not at all ...
