 | Romance of the Violin [Read More ...]
Description: Every track on this CD contains a beautiful melody, many of them easily recognizable, all of them exuding tranquility. "O mio babbino caro" from Puccini's Gianni Schicchi opens the disc, with Bell delicately accompanied by a harp and spinning the long melody with great sensitivit... |
 | Chanticleer: Magnificat (A Capella Works by Josquin, Palestrina, Titov, Victoria, and Others) [Read More ...]
Description: In the wake of its previous, Grammy-winning disc of contemporary madrigals (Colors of Love), the all-male a cappella ensemble that calls itself Chanticleer--in homage to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales --comes home to roost in this theme album of early music. After all, this is th... |

 | Renaissance: Music For Inner Peace [Read More ...]
Description: This new release is somewhat mistitled: while most of the pieces are, in fact, from the Renaissance (or early Baroque), there are works here also by Samuel Barber, Poulenc, John Tavener, Bruckne,r and Gorecki. What they all have in common is their beauty and serenity. Perhaps the... |
 | The Best Baroque Album in the World ... Ever! [Read More ...]

 | Monteverdi: Vespro della Beata Vergine 1610/Venetian Vespers [Read More ...]
Review: Adoration of the Divine:Whatever their religious inclination, music lovers must concede that liturgical music forms the backbone of most Western classical music from Mozart to Bach to Wagner.
Monteverdi's Vespers is perhaps the pinnacle of this expression, with elements of folk,... |
 | 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 ... |

Description: A-Z of Opera is a 762-page, illustrated book, accompanied by two-and-a-half hours of opera's most glorious and moving moments on two CDs, and reflects the ever-growing Naxos catalog of recordings ranging from Monteverdi to the contemporary. A-Z of Opera provides a wide range of ... |
 | A Baroque Christmas [Read More ...]
Review: A warm, joyful baroque Christmas celebration:The beautiful, varied, and well-chosen repertoire on this disc will keep you returning to it season after season. We start with a 17th-cantury French NOEL, lovingly and simply rendered a cappella by Richard Duguay. There follow some mo... |

 | Monteverdi: Mass for four voices; Mass for Six voices 'In Illo Tempore' [Read More ...]
Review: Monteverdi Looks Backward:If I played this CD blind (skipping the two motets) for almost any aficionado of 'early music' and asked who the composer was, I doubt many listeners would guess Claudio Monteverdi. The two masses recorded here are pure 'Franco-Flemish' polyphony, compos... |
 | Lamenti [Read More ...]
Description: Emmanuelle Haïm follows her acclaimed 2006 recording of Monteverdi's Combattimento with an unusual and inventive program on the theme of the lamento, a literary and dramatic form that found its 17th-century musical archetype in Monteverdi's celebrated Lamento d'Arianna. Emmanu... |

 | Monteverdi: Vespro Della Beata Vergine [Read More ...]
Description: John Eliot Gardiner's 1974 recording of Monteverdi's extraordinary Vespers of 1610 was a landmark, helping establish the modern reputations of both music and conductor. In 1989, to celebrate the silver anniversary of his Monteverdi Choir (named in honor of this work), he recorded... |
