 | Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces [Read More ...]
good buy:Bought this CD set for my 11-year-old son who's been taking classical guitar lessons for 3 years, just for some broader exposure. He likes it, I like it. It's got quite a few pieces that sound challenging to him and that he'd like to try, so it's doing its intended job. |

Description: Neville Marriner's 1976 account of the Covent Garden version of the score (1743), with the Academy and Chorus of St. Martin-in-the-Fields and soloists Elly Ameling, Anna Reynolds, Philip Langridge, and Gwynne Howell, is positively plush-sounding but nicely animated. I'd love to ... |

 | Mozart: Horn Concertos Nos. 1-4 [Read More ...]
Tuckwell "rules":This recording has good production values, considering its date. I found the orchestra somewhat lacking, but Tuckwell is hard to beat. It was the first "used" CD purchased through Amazon and I was satisfied with the product and the service. |
 | Bach: Brandenburg Concertos No. 5 & 6/Orchestral Suite No. 1; Neville Marriner; Academy of St. Martin in the Fields [Read More ...]
Review: Bach, Joy of Ears' Desiring:This is a fine reading of the lesser-appreciated Brandenburgs. While the 3rd is the "greatest hit" of the six, I think these last two are also beautiful in their own way.
Marriner sure has the Touch, and despite this performance being on modern and not... |

Description: It is not possible to fit 36 Bach masterpieces on two CDs, so what Essential Bach does is present individual movements from across a range of the composer's work. The anthology is clearly aimed at the newcomer, and the absence of booklet notes to put the music in context is disap... |

Description: Rodrigo's two "greatest hits," these works for guitar and orchestra made a convenient and frequent LP coupling, but they are a skimpy CD program. One recommendable feature of this CD is the inclusion of two lovely works for solo guitar along with an equally lovely piece for violi... |

 | Hilary Hahn ~ Brahms · Stravinsky - Violin Concertos [Read More ...]
Description: Hilary Hahn is not only one of the best, but one of the most interesting young violinists before the public. Even as a teenager, she seemed uninterested in displaying her formidable technical mastery, concentrating instead on the music with a seriousness far beyond her years. Now... |
