 | Handel - Messiah - Mormon Tabernacle [Read More ...]
Review: Messiah:This product was just as I had anticipated, excellant, one of the best renditions of Handel's Messiah produced. With the Morman Tabernacle Choir, the Philadelphia Orchestra, and those selected soloists, this was so well presented and simply one of the most inspiring piec... |
 | Joy to the World - Eugene Ormandy, Philadelphia Orchestra [Read More ...]
Eugene Ormandy, The Philadelphia Orchestra:This CD, is fabulous. I have seen The Philadelphia Orchestra perform, and the CD is as good as they are in person! |
 | The Glorious Sound of Christmas [Read More ...]
Review: If you only own one Christmas music recording ...:... this is THE ONE! Like several of the other reviewers of this magnificent recording, I originally bought it as an LP and literally wore it out. It has been used to greet Christmas morning in my home ever since. The first cut... |

Definitely Ultimate!:It is a beautifully rendered and a varied selection of excellent choices. The best I've heard and I love it! My favorite Christmas album of all time. |
 | An Organ Blaster Sampler [Read More ...]
Review: "Blasted" away:I am by no standards an expert on music, let alone organ music. I just purchased this CD because I love the sound of the organ, and wanted an album from a mix of artists before I started branching out to single composers. I would also consider myself an audiophil... |
 | Build Your Baby's Brain [Read More ...]
Description: Hundreds of compilation recordings have been thrust on the market in recent years on the theory that classical music makes a nice, non-threatening accompaniment to everything from working out to making love. And here we have one compilation promising to make your baby smarter. It... |
 | Classics for Kids [Read More ...]
Review: Just for kids?? No way!!:This is wonderful classical music. If the kids like it, great! But, make no mistake about it, this is good for anyone. This is wonderful study music, reading music, or just plain relaxing music. Highlights include "Parade of the Wooden Soldiers"; "Mar... |
 | The Best Of Wagner [Read More ...]
good introduction to Wagner:My husband and I did not know very much about Wagner, and this CD is a great introduction to his music. It certainly brings us in the mood to buy more of his CD's. |
 | Carl Orff: Carmina Burana [Read More ...]
Review: An Unforgettable Musical Feast:Camina Barana
Resurrected by Karl Orff, from the caves of a Monastery in Germany, the manuscripts of a large collection of Georgian Chants were put together, re-scored into the beautiful suite represented here.
Under Eugene Normandy, there is noth... |
 | Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring / Mormon Tabernacle Choir [Read More ...]
Review: Bach and Handel Treats:The unfortunate thingÑif anything can be said to the contrary about this collectionÑis that is an older recording. As far as authenticity, what was available in the days of Bach and Handel to perform their music, and what they may have had in mind as t... |
 | 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! |
 | Dinner Classics: The Italian Album [Read More ...]
Review: Graceful background music:Elegant, soothing and graceful. I recently moved into a work-at-home situation and had to get away from my rock-and-roll standards if I were to get any work done. I find the rich sounds of this album perfect for me. It isn't distracting and seems to stee... |
 | Copland: Greatest Hits [Read More ...]
Review: 56 minutes bland sleepy music:Fanfare for the Common Man is 3:27 min (at the very beginning), Rodeo 3:14 (min at the very end). They are great - some of the most beautiful music I have ever listened to. In between is 56 minutes of the dullest music ever. I waited 3 to 5 minute... |
 | Bach: Greatest Hits [Read More ...]
Review: the right kind of classical (actually, Baroque) greatest hits album:There are two things you should know before buying a greatest hits album by one of the legendary composers whose music we often call 'classical'.
First, the purists hate them. Their ire is understandable. Art mu... |
 | 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... |
 | Saint-Saëns: Carnival of the Animals; Organ Symphony [Read More ...]
Good Record!!!:It's a good recording and the info in the booklet is really useful.
I recommend this CD if you want to know the Saint-Saëns music.

 | Baroque Masterpieces [Read More ...]
Review: Excellent recordings of some great music:This is a quality CD, both in the pieces selected and in the quality of the recordings. I am playing it over and over again, because I like it so much! However, if you are looking for authenticity, do be aware that these versions don't n... |
 | Korngold: Symphony in F sharp; Einfache Lieder; Mariettas Lied [Read More ...]
Review: Very nice.:If you are appreciative of Korngold, you will find this CD quite nice. In fact, even if you aren't so fond of old Erich, at this price, this CD is still hard to pass up.
For starters, this is probably the best recorded version of Korngold's Symphony in F#. And befor... |
 | Saint-Saëns: Greatest Hits [Read More ...]
Review: Greatest Hits? Not really. But a good collection:Don't get me wrong on the rating; the CD is good and the recordings and performances are great, but to call something a greatest hits collection, there really needs to be more of the greatest hits and not just the filler they hav... |
