At 65 yrs old and new to the world of ballet (but already have seen over 25 ballets through the courtesy of Amazon.com and my library) I am a "dyed in the wool" fan of Baryshnikov. Is there anything he has danced badly? Baryshnikov Dances Sinatra and More is a must for anyone's library collection. I bought my DVD just a short time ago and received it last week. I've already watched it ...             Bach Cantatas, Vol. 8: Bremen, Santiago5 reviews Peter Harvey, Thomas Guthrie, ... Soli Deo Gloria, 2005 Cantatas on Set by BWV # and name. This is not really a review but a helpful tool for potential buyers. Listed below are the BWV numbers as well as names of the cantatas contained on this set (since amazon.com only lists by name and not the necessary BWV#). It is hard to be disappointed by Gardiner's craftsmanship. While some think his tempi on some cantatas to be distasteful, it provides a different approach than other ...             Bach- St. Matthäus-Passion/Te Kanawa, von Otter, Rolfe-Johnson, Blochitz, Krause, Solti (Highlights)4 reviews Tom Krause, Glen Ellyn Children's Chorus, ... Decca, 1990 An ideal melding of music, vocalists, and conductor Johann Sebastian Bach's "St. Matthew Passion," one of his great choral works, is a meditation on the death of Christ. Here, Sit Georg Solti works with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus to produce a superb rendition of the arias and choruses of this rich and contemplative work. On the opening piece, "Kommt, ihr Tochter, helft mir klagen" ("Come, ye daughters, share my mourning"), the ...             Gilbert & Sullivan - Highlights from The Mikado, The Pirates of Penzance, H.M.S.

Telarc, 1996 The Best Of Gilbert And Sullivan At the end of the 19th century (1870's, 80's and 90's) the compatible duo of librettist and composer Gilbert and Sullivan popularized the pre-Broadway entertainment of Savoy opera. These were light operas or operettas whose content was satire and comedy, full of bouncy melodies and beautiful singing, highly entertaining theatrical works staged at London's Savoy theatre. Gilbert and Sullivan did ...             Lost Music of Early America: Music of the Moravians9 reviews German Anonymous, John Antes, ... Telarc, 1998 Beautifully crafted, captures the spirit This recording truly seems to capture the spirit of the music. As someone who grew up singing in the Moravian church, this cd is a FIND. I listened with joy and surprise to this collection. The execution is tender, passionate, thoughtful. The balance between vocals and chamber orchestra is lovely, as close to perfect as one might imagine. I know many of the works on this cd as hymns and ...             100 Best Opera Classics5 reviews Andreas Schmidt, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, ... Emd Int'l, 2007 Amazing Value I am so impressed by this collection that I must share my joy at getting so many beautiful arias, duets, et al in one collection. It captures many of the great operatic voices in stellar performances spanning the last 50 years. If you are enchanted by beautiful operatic highlights, removed from their operatic storylines, this set is for you. Hours of gorgeous music for practically pennies!             Girl Crazy (1990 Studio Cast)8 reviews George Gershwin, Ira Gershwin, ... Nonesuch, 1990 A Musical Not To Miss As with so many Broadway shows, the story behind Girl Crazy is concerned with the quest for love and romance built into a thin story. The setting of Girl Crazy in Arizona provided a more exotic locale for 1930's America. What makes Girl Crazy so memorable are the songs: "Embraceable You," "Sam and Delilah," "Could You Use Me?," "Barbary Coast," " But Not For Me" and "I Got Rhytm." This is a ...             Broadway, My Way154 reviews Linda Eder Atlantic / Wea, 2003 the best female singer of the great american standards. i am turning 60 years old this year. i went to my 1st.broadway musical in 1960. over the years i have had the honor to see almost all of the giants of american song, garland, streisand, patti lupone, lena horne, betty buckley, barbaracook etc. in "broadway, my way" linda eder cements her place as the best of the best. from an anthem like "i am what i am" to the lovely "on the street where ...             Broadway - The American Musical (PBS Series)10 reviews Richard [Composer] Adler, Peter [Piano] Allen, ... Sony, 2004 Fabulous for any Broadway-lover Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a gift to several friends with rave reviews.             Don Quixote / Baryshnikov, Harvey, American Ballet Theatre14 reviews Mikhail Baryshnikov, Cynthia Harvey Kultur Video, 2003 Ravishing performance! Cynthia Harvey and Mikhail Baryshnikov became a brilliant and historical artistic couple. In what concerns to their memorable and exciting role in Don Quixote, the result was simply glamorous and overwhelming. Grace and technique were bounded with steeled commitment, additionally the musical support, choreography, make-up and custom design contributed notably to make one of the most legendary and ...             Britten: Gloriana3 reviews Benjamin Britten, Charles Mackerras, ... Polygram Records, 1993 Excellent This is an excellent production of this rarely performed and rarely recorded work. It displays many of the features of Britten's best work. The music is often lovely and features Britten's particular ability to set english language texts to music. The music is informed by Britten's ability to create a style with is reminescent of music appropriate for the period without being imitative.

Telarc, 1993 A Wonderful Compilation I consider this recording to be surely one of the best on CD of the Magic Flute. Everyone is in excellent voice. June Anderson's top notes ring out with great strength and freedom as the Queen of the Night, and her coloratura work in the first act aria, "O zittre nicht", is exquisitely beautiful and the highpoint of the CD. Jerry Hadley does a fine lyric job as Tamino (I was surprised). ...             Satie for Relaxation1 review Richard Stoltzman, Erik Satie, ... RCA, 2000 Precursor of "Muzak" Erik Satie cultivated his fame as an obscure pianist within the smokey cabernet-cafes high on the hill of Montmartre - a trendy, artist haunt in the shadow of Sacre Coere cathdrel overlooking 19th-century Paris. His novel music, isolated lifestyle and unusual fashion (always a dark velvet suit and derby) were eccentric yet endeared him to - not only to the poets, writers and artists of ...             Schubert: The Masterworks [Box Set]6 reviews Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, John Shirley-Quirk, ... Brilliant Classics, 2004 One of the best of the Masterworks series Brilliant Classics' "Masterworks" series, if you can get them cheaply (and currently they go for about $1/CD from Amazon's France Web site), are a great way to amass a significant library of the works of several great computers. The production values and the performances themselves are uneven, and the interpretations are not always historically-informed (unlike the bulk of Brilliant's "Complete ...             Berlioz Edition (Box Set) Thomas Allen, John Shirley-Quirk, ...

Delta, 1993 A joyful Christmas box of many rare musical jewels. Laserlight has the rights to so much recorded music - excellent, good, indifferent, bad - & of such varying sound quality, that it's difficult to rate the label's bargain compilations. Most are afflicted with "excerpt-itis," the "greatest hits" disease. However, some compiler with an interesting ear for the offbeat & a sense of humor put this fine five-CD Christmas box together.

Madacy Special Mkts, 2003 An almost perfect blend of classic Christmas carols and performers I have this cd with the Thomas Kinkade cover and insert. The cover of the cd has Kinkade's painting "Village Christmas" with a pine green border. The cd is encased in a nice cardboard jacket with the same design. As an added bonus there is an insert of Kinkade's "Village Christmas". The album was put together back in 1981 and this is just a re-release of the album with Kinkade's painting, a ...              search for classical music america, american, ariodante, baryshnikov, blochitz, broadway, cantatas, christmas, classical, classics, diamond, gloriana, highlights, johnson, lyudmlla, masterworks, matthäus, matthäus-passion, moravians, musical, original, penzance, pinafore, quixote, relaxation, rolfe-johnson, santiago, schubert, sullivan, zauberflöte classical music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
