Rent (1996 Original Broadway Cast)

Jonathan Larson

Dreamworks, 1996

RENT
An excellent price and delivery time for some of the best modern music ever written and performed.

Shakespeare for Children

Jim Weiss

Greathall Productions, 1995

Great intro to the Bard
Sigh. The hyper-competitive parenting in the US makes me dread our move there next year. In Lake Wobegon the children are all above average, but the children of Amazon reviewers are all geniuses. So, of course the 3 year old is way beyond mere childish stories- no, the ...

Children's Favorites

Twenty-Five Children's Favo

Vox (Classical), 2000

A Wonderful Introduction to the Classics
With total playing time clocking in at 78:04 minutes of music, you'll be paying about 6-cents/minute, which is a better bargain than long distance phone calls, and often more rewarding! This disc is far superior than most other "Classics for Kids"-type recordings ...

Harem

Sarah Brightman, Frank Peterson

Angel Records, 2003

ENCHANTING!!
This is the first ever Sarah Brightman album i've ever listened to, and it was one of the most magical listening experiances i have ever been through. Her enthralling voice sends chills up and down my spine and down and up again. The lyrics to every song are just ...

Greek Myths

as told by Jim Weiss

Greathall Prod, 2000

Absolutely wonderful rendition of Hercules
My 5 year old son just loves this tape. He will choose to listen to it over the TV, and has been inspired to draw a set of pictures illustrating the labors of Hercules. Jim does a great job of telling these stories, and woven into the stories are explainations of any ...

Christopher Parkening plays Bach

Christopher Parkening

EMI Classics, 1990

Pinnacle
I can't over-exaggerate the impact this album had on me when my Dad played it for me when I was about 6. It encouraged me to become a guitarist, and hearing it was my first truly profound musical experience that I can remember. I love all kinds of music, but ...

Christopher Parkening - The Great Recordings ~ By America's Preeminent Guitar Virtuoso

Johann Sebastian Bach, François Couperin, ...

EMI Classics, 1993

A gentleman musical agreement!
In guitar ` s playing there have been many renowned performers, gifted of exuberant technique. But curiously the Apollonian playing is not by itself strictly enough. The guitar is the instrument which is closer to heart as any other one. It demands from you passion and ...

Lute Sonatas 10
Weiss, Barto

Naxos, 2010

Baroque Guitar

Johann Sebastian Bach, Gaspar Sanz, ...

RCA, 1991

Bream reigns Supreme
I have listned to this CD over and over since I purchased it several months ago. I must state that this is a great collection of guitar music that few others will be able to duplicate any time soon! Bream has been criticized for a technique that is some-what sloppy and ...

Love Song

James Galway

RCA, 2001

Love Song DVD by James Galway
Anything that Galway does is good listening, I really enjoy his music as it's both calming and good listening. Particularly good when trying to get to sleep and the brain won't shut off so this is music that one can "get into" which sidetracks the cerebral neurons.

Alamo (2004) (Score)

Carter Burwell

Hollywood Records, 2004

Cinco estrellas for this one
Having seen the film and bought the DVD, I had to buy the soundtrack music, which is one of the most moving and appropriate to a film I've ever heard. David[!] Crockett really did play the fiddle, and though Billy Bob Thornton himself didn't, he sure made it look real! ...

Concerto Grosso

Torelli, Standage, ...

Chandos, 2005

well played baroque
Torelli: Concertos Giuseppe Torelli was born in Verona in 1658, the same year as Pachelbel, 5 years after Corelli, and 11 before Albinoni. He moved to Bologna, an important centre of music at the time, in the early 1680s. His opus 8, some of which we hear on this ...

Weiss: Sonatas for Lute, Volume 4

Weiss, Barto

Naxos, 2001

Shining Late-Baroque Light
Weiss was a contemporary of Bach and it's been said they knew one another and, perhaps, even made music together at one time or another. The music on this disc is quite good and satisfies my craving for thoughtful music. I sometimes feel that music composed during ...

John Williams: The Baroque Album

John Williams

Sony, 1990

Look no further. . .
I would buy this album again for John Williams' arrangement of the Bach Chaconne alone! I've heard several guitarists play this piece and play it well. However, Mr. Williams' performance gave me goose bumps! All of the other pieces are wonderfully played as well. ...

Tales from the Old Testament

Jim Weiss

Greathall Prod, 2000

Amazing voice and compelling stories
My family thoroughly enjoys this CD - Jim Weiss' voice(s) are amazing and compelling. The 'tales' are not 100% true to scripture - this may be an issue for some listeners. But I don't find anything objectionable in his interpretations and I think his version makes ...
