classical music: Maurice Ravel ...     classical music:       Ravel: Boléro14 reviews Maurice Ravel, Charles Dutoit, ... Decca, 1999 Simply wonderful! If you are a music buff like myself ( and I do like all kinds of music ), than what's not to like about The Boléro, by Ravel? And I don't buy into that hog-wash of a story that Ravel wrote this piece in the beginning of dementia...gimmie a break and give that man credit where credit is due.....The Boléro is a master piece! Ok...my review: It was a pleasure to shop for this Cd on Amazon ( ...             Debussy's Greatest Hits13 reviews Claude Debussy, Andrew Litton, ... Sony, 1994 Probably the best compilation of a single composer's works. Ever! Claude Debussy is perhaps the most understated composer in the history of man. His ability to compose both on the piano and for orchestra is unmatched, in my humble opinion. The fact that Debussy was able to also arrange many contemporary and previous composers' works just adds to his resume. He had a gift, pure and simple. Although this album doesn't (well, honestly it couldn't) contain ...             At the Movies18 reviews Andre Rieu Denon Records, 2004 There's Beauty in Music I had seen Andre Rieu on YouTube, and fell in love with his music! Since I am 76 years old and crippled by Arthritis, it is not easy for me to go out and shop, so I turned to Amazon. If you're a classical music fan, listen to Andre Rieu, who orchestrates classical as well as show tunes and religious music! In addition, he has a chorus and pyrotechnics to set the mood. I could listen to his ...             The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe24 reviews Johann Pachelbel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Denon Records, 2003 Very good! I was impressed from the selection of the songs in the album. I advise everybody who are willing to relax by listenning these masterpieces. (Shut off the lights while listenning)             Classics for Kids4 reviews Martin Hoherman, Georges Bizet, ... RCA, 1993 Great for Preschool Children I use this CD with my preschool music group. The kids love it! This CD enables children learn about classical music without over extending their attention spans.             Quatuor Ébène Performs Ravel, Debussy & Fauré6 reviews Claude Debussy, Gabriel Faure, ... Virgin Classics, 2008 Keep your eyes and ears on these guys! What a wonderful CD! The sheer musicality of these guys is amazing. The sounds blend so smoothly that the pieces reveal their organic quality from the first notes. When will they record Mozart next? Performers of the first rank.             25 Classical Favorites22 reviews Frank Morelli, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Vox (Classical), 1996 great gift Bought this product for my grandchild to introduce him to classical music. It was perfect. Thanks             Music from a Farther Room69 reviews Lucia Micarelli, Eric Holden, ... Reprise Records, 2004 Loosh I dearly love this album. There were places that nearly brought tears to my eyes. Lucia said in an interview, "I play violin!" and that is a complete understatement. She is the instrument when she plays. I love it and her.             The Collection 2: The Concerto Recordings2 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Frederic Chopin, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2009 Essential Argerich recordings, despite the duplications Imitating the format of DG's earlier collection of Argerich's complete solo albums, here in crhonological order from 1967 to 2004 we get her concerto recordings. All are self-recommending to her legion of fans and highly recommended by critics, which poses a problem for many collectors. I already own all but a handful, so even DG's bargain price isn't all that tempting. The duplications consist ...             The Most Relaxing Classical Album In the World Ever, Volume II12 reviews Yehudi Menuhin, Jacqueline Du Pre, ... EMI Classics, 2003 Most Relaxing Classical Music. II Beautifully done, arranged, and selected. All are very good performances, and there are many lesser known but wonderful pieces such as the movement from Shostakovich's second piano concerto.             Classical Music for People Who Hate Classical Music47 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Samuel Barber, ... Compendia, 1994 This box selection is enjoyable Cheers to those with drive to attain "real" music student status. However, I just want to listen to music passages I have found enjoyable over the years. There is no pretense of this selection being a student workbook of classical music for the serious scholar - it is just an enjoyable alternative to that shared by those offensively loud vehicles near me at the stoplight.             The Most Relaxing Harp Album in the World... Ever!5 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ... Angel Records, 2005 Harp Music Animal behaviorists have done some studies showing harp music is good at calming animals, especially cats. My cat was very skittish and unhappy as a result of very loud construction work next door and all other efforts to calm her down had not been totally successful. I got this and she (and I, if you must know) relaxed immediately. It is a beautiful sounding album. (And the bahaviorists have a ...             Romances for Saxophone18 reviews Michel Colombier, Claude Debussy, ... Sony, 1990 Incredibly Musical Peformance In my opinion, this is one of the best Classical CDs ever produced. I listen to it often and I am amazed at what an incredibly MUSICAL performance Branford Marsalis had. If you like saxaphone, I think you will love it. If you don't, I think you will still find it valuable because the technique, the phrasing are quintissential.             Ravel: Daphnis et Chloe [Hybrid SACD]10 reviews Maurice Ravel, Bso, ... RCA, 2004 This is the one to beat! awesome sound, even after 50 years. This is the recording that has yet to be beat.             Prokofiev, Ravel: Piano Concertos, etc / Martha Argerich27 reviews Sergey Prokofiev, Maurice Ravel, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 The young Argerich--fresh and completely without affectation The few complainers about this famous recording have slipped far down the list here at Amazon, and what's striking is that the things the detractors hate about Argerich (mannered phrasing, overly aggressive attack, rushing, banging) are the very things we don't get here. Argerich can adopt a reckless, hectoring style, but at her best--as here--she's full of imagination, wit, and an uncanny ...             The Most Relaxing Violin Music in the Universe2 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Leonard Bernstein, ... Denon Records, 2005 Beautiful I love listening to this cd when I am bathing. It relaxes me and I enjoy it. Thank you.             Debussy, Ravel: Streichquartette8 reviews David Finckel, Claude Debussy, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1995 The Cream of a Very Good Crop ! For me, these readings by the Emerson Quartet constitute one of the finest available couplings of these two staples of the string quartet repertoire. Listening to other highly touted versions by the Julliard, Guarneri, Tokyo, Cleveland and Kodaly Quartets, I feel the Guarneri (on the Surroundedby Entertainment 1004 label) seems to enjoy the richest and best recorded sound, and I would place their ...             Flute Greatest Hits3 reviews Frantisek Slama, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Sony, 1994 takes you to another place and time! This cd is by far the most beautiful that I have ever heard! It just takes you away to another place and time, far from your worries, very relaxing. I highly reccomend this to anyone who loves beautiful music!             Jewish Cello Masterpieces10 reviews Ernest Bloch, Max Bruch, ... Leggiero Records, 2002 Encore! Encore! Perhaps no other instrument captures the sad-sweet contemplative mood of classical Jewish music like a cello. Is this because so many Jewish composers have written for the cello, that we think of it as a "Jewish" instrument? Or did they choose the cello because it sings so beautifully of the Jewish soul? Like the chicken and the egg, this question may never be answered -- but it doesn't really ...             The Best of Classical3 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ... AAO MUSIC, 2002 A Very Good (and cheap!) Box Set For Beginners. This is a great box set for beginners (especially considering the price). The sound quality is excellent (unlike many other [inexpensive] classical CDs). Also, a wide variety of classical favorites are covered in this set.
