 | Bach - The Complete Brandenburg Concertos / Pearlman, Boston Baroque [Read More ...]
Description: Boston Baroque and Martin Pearlman recorded a splendid set of the Brandenburg Concertos on period instruments in 1993 and 1994. Made entirely in the US, these snappy, crisply articulated, and fluent performances rely heavily on the talents of violinist Daniel Stepner (who doubles... |
 | Handel - Messiah / Clift · Robbin · Fowler · Ledbetter · Boston Baroque, Pearlman [Read More ...]
Review: Messiah:Messiah by the Boston Baroque is one of the most interesting I've heard in some years. To me it was more in line with the instrumentation intended. The soloists are very good, the only critical point I have would be some of the intonation on the strings - otherwise a g... |
 | Classic Yo-Yo [Read More ...]
Description: Except for one "previously unreleased" recording and two new ones, this is a compilation of segments taken from older Yo-Yo Ma CDs, perhaps to whet listeners' appetite to hear the entire records. The disc represents a triumph of performance over material. The program consists of ... |
 | The Only Classical CD You'll Ever Need! [Read More ...]
OMG! Think of the Money I Could Have Saved!:There's one horrible omission from this anthology of "Zerspoilerte Musik" however. How could they claim that this is "the only classical CD you'll ever need" without a single track of Glenn Gould playing Bach! |
 | Marches: Greatest Hits [Read More ...]
Review: For Water Aerobics, a Top-Ten CD:I provide music for water aerobics classes. The class members are typically retirees, and like Classical music, yet until this CD the only Classical music with a beat distinctive and steady enough for water aerobics that I'd found was on the "Hoo... |
 | Mozart - Requiem / Ziesak, Maultsby, R. Croft, D. Arnold, Boston Baroque, Pearlman [Read More ...]
Review: Don't Hear How It Can Get Any Better Than This:Many, many aeons ago I participated in the chorus of a University production of Mozart's REQUIEM. One of my friends (who was in the audience) said to me after the performance, "I've never seen you look so happy."
I was...and who wo... |
 | Simply the Best Christmas Album [Read More ...]
Description: A rather presumptive holiday title, Simply the Best Christmas Album is an unqualified best--if you like classical, choral, and symphonic music. Marquee talent such as Placido Domingo, Natalie Cole, and Jose Carreras anchor the mix, abetted by the redoubtable London Brass, St. Pau... |
 | Pachelbel Canon and Other Baroque Hits [Read More ...]
pachelbel canon and other baroque hits:THe Bach Brandenburg #2 (William Buckley's Firing Line Theme)is the one that was used on the show. Wonderful interpretation and playing. |
 | Monteverdi - Vespers of 1610 (Vespro della Beata Vergine) / Chandler, R. Croft, Atkinson, Numura, Boston Baroque, Pearlman [Read More ...]
Description: This performance of Monteverdi's extraordinary collection of sacred music, which received a 1999 Grammy nomination, has its good points, but it can't really be considered best even in its class. Martin Pearlman leads a relatively large-scale performance, using a 30-member chorus ... |
 | Bach: The Complete Orchestral Suites [Read More ...]
Description: There is no dearth of recordings of the Bach Orchestral Suites, but this new one goes right to the top of the list of recommended performances. Pearlman and his Boston Baroque play on period instruments but there is never any stridency in the strings, none of the odd pressured qu... |
 | Lost Music of Early America: Music of the Moravians [Read More ...]
Description: When the subject of 18th-century music comes up, the United States is rarely considered any sort of creative artistic bastion. But this collection of Moravian religious music reveals how deep a fallacy it is to write off the U.S. as unimportant in vocal music history. The Moravia... |
 | Christmas Break [Read More ...]
Christmas Break:This is a lovely collection of Christmas music. I recommend it. We played it quite often and never tired of it. |
 | Idiot's Guide to Classical Music [Read More ...]
I can name that tune in three notes:My family likes to put this disc in on shuffle and play name that tune. I wish they made more discs like this, only with more obscure works. |

 | Dies Irae-The Essential Choral Collection [Read More ...]
Description: This certainly is a desirable compendium of some of the most famous large-scale choral pieces, primarily drawn from Deutsche Grammophon's catalog of operas and oratorios. Among the 30 selections on this two-disc set are choruses from Carmen, Lohengrin, Aida, Madame Butterfly, ... |
 | Handel: Concerti Grossi, Op. 6, Part 2 [Read More ...]
Review: Worth the Wait:Founded by Martin Pearlman in 1973, Boston Baroque is the first permanent Baroque orchestra in the U.S. It is also the resident ensemble for Boston University's Historical Performance Program. Boston Baroque's first Telarc recording, issued in 1992, included the ... |
 | Handel: Messiah [Highlights] [Read More ...]
Review: Rich Timbre with the Prime Cuts... :My personal favorite version of Handel's Messiah. Purists may balk but in this CD you get the best cuts from that epic work and a wonderful and rich music tone. It's hard to imagine the Christmas season without this classic. There are perhap... |
 | Telarc SACD Sampler: The Absolute Sound [Read More ...]
Review: Good for what it is, however narrow.:The Absolute Sound has been a premiere audiophile rag for decades. If you are one, you already know them. If not, then there is only a small chance their magazine will be useful to you. They have another publication for home theatre, "Perfe... |

 | Telarc Celebrating 25 Years: Classic Collect [Read More ...]
Review: Disappointing presentation of great music:I recently received this as a present but I was already familiar with many of these recordings, having owned the complete versions of the works presented. Yes, these are great recordings but if you settle for this compilation you will be... |
