It is a pleasant compilation of traditional favorites and awesome classical pieces that are worth listening to again and again.             Essential Carols: The Very Best of King's College Choir, Cambridge Johann Sebastian Bach, Peter Cornelius, ... Decca, 2005             Sing We Christmas18 reviews Chad Runyon, Tim Krol, ... Teldec, 1995 The Geese Are Getting Fat Again Someone who likes my music reviews has requested a Christmas album. Well, here it is. Imagine a silent darkness with reflections of colored lights twinkling on the snow banks. Suddenly a group of carolers can be heard making their merry way toward your own front porch, where you await them with a punchbowl of wassail. That group is Chanticleer, and this is the best musical evocation of the spirit ...             40 Most Beautiful Christmas Classics1 review Adolphe Adam, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Rhino / Wea, 2007 a voice teacher and early music fan QUALITY AND QUANTITY COMBINE IN THIS VERY FINE COMPILATION! This is indeed one of the most tasty group of Christmas songs that I have come across in my many years of listening. It leans toward sacred, but there are tunes such 'White Christmas' sung beautifully by Thomas Hampson and a Brass Choir plays a Medley of songs such as Sleigh ride, Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas etc. In ...             Josh Groban1056 reviews Josh Groban Reprise / Wea, 2001 Years after its release, still a favorite Several years ago I was driving into work late at night and heard this most beautiful voice on the radio. I took note of the name and later the next day looked up this "Josh Groban" on the internet. I thought for sure it was some tenor I had somehow overlooked in all my music listening years..when I found out it was a young man with that voice it truely shocked me! If for some reason you don't ...             The Baroque Christmas Album1 review Johann Sebastian Bach, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, ... Archiv Produktion, 2005 5-PLUS Stars There are not many things in life that I would describe as just Gorgeous -- but this album is definitely one of them. The selections, the arrangements, the production quality, all are clean, yet lush -- simultaneously light and rich. The effect is wonderful. This may not appeal to hardest-core periodists, but for beautiful music lovingly performed, the album is very hard to beat. Not only ...             The Ultimate Relaxation Christmas Album11 reviews Ultimate Relaxation Christmas Album Decca, 2002 Simply beautiful! Awesome moody sounds, great performance by Mantovani and his orchestra! Highly recommended! I love this collection, especially "Adeste Fideles" (O come, all ye faithful). Wonderful!             A Robert Shaw Christmas - Angels on High22 reviews Charles Sprawls, William Bland, ... Telarc, 1997 Inspiring Christmas music This is some of the most beautiful Christmas music I own. It is all sung a cappella, proving that the human voice is as good as any instrument in conveying the message and spirit of the carols. I purchased it because I liked the Robert Shaw Chorale's Christmas albums, but to me this later group of singers sounds just as inspiring. This CD has the advantage of more modern recording techniques ...             Simply the Best Christmas Album2 reviews Adolphe Adam, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Erato, 2001 Simply the Best... The minute I heard Thomas Hampson sing the first few notes of Adeste Fideles, I knew I had to have this album. It is a marvelous compilation of Classical Christmas favorites (excerpts from the Bach, Vivaldi and Corelli Christmas Concertos and The Nutcracker) and standard Christmas favorites, as well as some of the lesser heard Christmas gems. The vocal power on this 2 CD set is amazing as ...             50 Most Loved Christmas Carols11 reviews Various Artists Capitol, 2005 50 Most Loved Christmas Carols The selections are all very well performed with fine sound quality. I even liked the third disc's instrumentals.             For Thy Pleasure17 reviews et al Johann Sebastian Bach (Composer) Delos Records, 1996 Great revelation of Bach and the Baroque A great revelation of Bach and the Baroque that I first discovered in 1999 on the old Napster. I'm still downloading MP3s but now they are not the broken and damaged ones! Fantastic music. You friends will want to know more about this and find it fascinating as you will. It lasts really well. Enjoy!             25 Concerto Favorites5 reviews Ofra Harnoy, Zara Nelsova, ... Vox (Classical), 1997 Great Concertos from Baroque to Romantic Era The excerpts from 25 concertos range from the Baroque to Romantic Periods. They are all masterfully performed by virtuoso musicians (example: Brendel is the pianist in the last track, the Beethoven Emperor piano concerto). The violinists are skillful and well-known artists. Concerto music by Baroque legends such as Torelli and Bach. Mozart and Haydn's music is marvelous to hear. We have ...             Greatest Hits: Trumpet6 reviews Leroy Anderson, Jean-Baptiste Arban, ... Sony, 1994 A Wonderful Collection This is a splendid anthology of music. Traditional Baroque and orchestral pieces up front, and a few surprises nearer the end. A splendid work. The price makes it a steal. Add it to your cart. You will not be sorry. There is technical excellence - peace in some of the songs and real energy in others.             Masters of the Trumpet6 reviews Johann Georg Albrechtsberger, Johann Ernst Altenburg, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 A Must Have For All Trumpet Players I purchased this recording as a reference recording for my trumpet studio. As I started to listen to it, I realized that it contains some of the absolute greatest classical trumpet recordings there are. Rafael Mendez is mind-blowing, Bud Herseth's rendition of the Haydn Concerto is stunningly flawless and Abblasen is a great way to open this 2-CD set. It contains a sample of almost all the ...             Cello for Relaxation7 reviews Saint-Saëns, Bruch, ... RCA, 2001 A Fine Way To Relax Currently I'm enjoying this cello music while in the car, as it lessens the stress of traffic. It contains a variety of cello pieces that have beauty and grace. As a cellist I appreciate the supurb execution of each piece. This CD is everything I hoped it would be.             Bach: Greatest Hits11 reviews Johann Michael Bach, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Sony, 1994 Teeming with classics I purchased this for track #10, which I'd happened to hear on the radio...it stayed in my head until I tracked down the CD. I have a relatively basic working knowledge of classical music, so this long playing collection was an excellent and surprising introduction to several of Bach's diverse works...both well known and more obscure. Certainly a worthwhile addition to your classical collection.             Classic Wynton24 reviews Jean-Baptiste Arban, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Sony, 1998 Heard this with NEW appreication......... This is such a wonderful mix. I especially love the Haydn concerto finale in E flat. I was listening to this cd when my grandson (almost 3) heard the glorious music of the trumpet for the first time. He loved seeing the photos of Mr. Marsalis (which I embellished, albeit true, saying how difficult it is to play the trumpet - hence the need for a handerchief to wipe his brow in one of the photos). ...             Johann Sebastian Bach: 6 Brandenburg Concertos / 4 Orchestral Suites - The English Concert / Trevor Pinnock16 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Trevor Pinnock, ... Archiv Produktion, 1989 Seek No Further! Pinnock is Your Man If you like baroque music. If you like (or love) Bach, then seek no further! Trevor Pinnock is your man! It's difficult to believe, I know, but every single recording the man has made (at least, as far as I can see) is superb or excellent or at least very good. So, if these classics are what you're after, this classic recording of Bach's Orchestral Suites and Brandenburgs is the one to have. ...             Christmas With the Trapp Family Singers4 reviews The Trapp Family Deutsche Grammophon, 2004 A new musical Christmas tradition This recording was my first experience with the Trapp Family Singers (other than knowing the story from The Sound of Music). I cannot state how pleasently surprised I was. First of all, the technical quality of the recording is extraordinary. The selections were originally mastered between 1951 - 1953 by Deutsche Grammophon. Yet, despite the early dates, they sound like they were recorded ...             The Christmas I Love8 reviews Andre Rieu, Johann Strauss Orchestra Philips, 1997 excellent entertainment I thoroughly enjoyed this Christmas DVD .
