 | 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... |
 | 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... |
 | Ill-Conceived PDQ Bach Anthology [Read More ...]
Review: A good introduction to the music of PDQ Bach:As already described, the music on this CD is hillarious and the spoken sections usually less so.
This CD includes selections from many collections, but no complete collections - for example, the Dramatic Oratorio does not include th... |
 | Bach: Mass in B minor [Read More ...]
Description: When Joshua Rifkin began recording Bach vocal works to demonstrate his one-singer-per-part thesis, he started not with the lightly scored early cantatas but rather with the Holy of Holies--the B-Minor Mass. (Don't accuse the man of starting small.) Predictably, outrage ensued: de... |

 | Pachelbel's Canon and Other Baroque Favorites [Read More ...]
Description: This recording focuses less on the music than on the performers: Andrew Parrott and the Taverner Consort, Choir and Players, which he founded 32 years ago. Under his direction, the group has achieved international acclaim and produced a large discography; this 2-CD set was compil... |

 | Francois Couperin: Concerts Royaux; Pieces A Deux Clavecins [Read More ...]
Absolutely astounding:Such a rich and textured collection. It goes to the heart of "soulful" Baroque. In many ways Couperin is more satisfying than Bach or Handel.
The sound is more layered and offers an "economy" of statement muscially.
This is the classical disc you will listen to over and over. |

Review: A "Do Not Buy!":I originally planned on giving this boxed set '2-stars', but decided to rate it with only 1 to offset any unrealistically high ratings. I was not pleased with these interpretations of both Bach's Brandenburgs and his Orchestral Suites. I am usually quite pleased w... |

Review: Danton Shines singing this wonderful Selection of Songs:How can a voice be both delicate and rich and robust at the same time? This is Danton at her best. Jean Danton's "Songs of Innocence" CD is truly delightful - one of the most enjoyable classical CDS I own. Her voice is divin... |
