Beautiful music
This is my second copy of this CD, I burned the first one out!! Andrea Bocelli has a very gorgeous voice that is a gift from above. His voice is not affected or braggadoccio but naturally magnificent. I could and do start my day listening to this spiritually uplifting ...

Music for Meditation
This is a delightful collection of music appropriate to meditative prayer. It is often my prayer companion, and I like the style and performance found on this CD. I highly recommend it to people who enjoy deeper reflection with a wordless musical background.

A few thoughts on the SOBoxed....
I just happened upon this set of reviews on Amazon (although I had reviewed the original SOB separately years ago), and was delighted at the multitude of very favorable reviews by others. But then came the weeds amongst the fruit, namely those few reviews by people who ...

Passion
I recently listened to an MP3 recording of Bach's WTC Book I by Glenn Gould. I know the music well having listened so many times to the recordings by Andras Schiff and Angela Hewitt. Gould's recording was a revelation. While there is a considerable amount of ...

Ave Maria - penetrating hymns
Other CD's have various versions of Ave Maria, as does this one. What distinguishes this CD is the quality of the recordings, the reverent tone of the vocalists, and the impressive blending of the singers and orchestras. Some versions inpsire an awesome silence, ...

Catholic music as it was meant to be
With the release of Pope Benedict XIV's Motu Proprio and the Summurum Pontificum, I hope we will see a return of such beautiful music to the Mass. The "Panis Angelicus", by tenor John Eskola, is sublime and the "Adoremus Te, Christe", brings tears to my eyes, as does ...
Prelude: The Best of Charlotte Church
Charlotte Church
Sony, 2002
Young talent with plenty of potential
I personally really loved this CD. I am especially impressed that she was extremely young when recording this CD...and while she still has room for improvement, that can pretty much be said about anyone. I was astounded by "Dream a Dream" (with Billy Gilman, who was ...
Bach: The Well Tempered Clavier
Bach
EMI Classics, 2008
A wonderful old performance
There are dozens of recordings available of the Wohltemperiertes Clavier. While I am an "early music performer" performing on period instruments in the currently accepted "authentic style", I chose the Edwin Fisher performance to add to my collection. He is proving ...

Some Bach for my desert island
I love the way the Russian school plays Bach (Richter, Gilels, Nikolayeva, etc.), and particularly this Russian, and these performances. The opening Prelude and Fugue I of Book I is one of most magical keyboard works that I have ever heard, and Richter's playing of it ...

Kudo's for Wendy Carlos
Wendy Carlos does an excellent job of updating all of the Classical pieces on this CD, as well as on all of her other CDs. I originally had this on Open Reel Tape, and am really happy that she has ported it over to the CD format! All of the selections on this CD can ...

Hector Berlioz

Decca, 2005
A very special Christmas album
My wife and I love Christmas music, but this album is in a class by itself. It is opera, classical music, Christmas carols, and the most heartfelt and expressive personal expression of religious feeling. It is exalted and joyous, and to my wife and me, inexpressively ...
