classical music: Richard [1] Strauss ...     classical music:       Hooked on Classics 3: Journey Through the Classics3 reviews Louis Clark, Richard [1] Strauss, ... Hooked on Classics, 2000 Finally found it! Years ago I got hold of several of the "Hooked on the Classics" and have enjoyed them very much. (They are great background music for doing housework) I have been searching for copies on CD for a long time. Thanks for tracking them down for me. I shall keep looking for "Hooked on Classics #2 and "Hooked on Swing" as well.             Beethoven's Wig 2: More Sing-Along Symphonies20 reviews Beethoven's Wig Rounder / Umgd, 2004 Great lessons with Classical Music I have really enjoyed listening to these CDs with words to Classical Music. Being a trained classical musician this is such a fun way to teach Classics to the younger generation. Keep it up!!!             The Most Famous Opera Duets38 reviews Eberhard Wchter, Georges Bizet, ... EMI Classics, 1994 Don't let the low price fool you! This CD is magnificent, especially for people just getting into opera. I've never really been interested in opera before, but I've recently started listening to it and wanted a CD of my own to listen to. When I bought this, I was a little wary of the low price, and I wondered what the quality would be (mostly quality of the content). Let me tell you, it is magnificent! There are so many ...             25 Thunderous Classics14 reviews Richard [1] Strauss, Gustav Holst, ... Vox (Classical), 2000 This thing kills! OK, this is not a great musical experience, but a hodgepodge of the loud, vigorous and stirring parts. For what it is, and purports to be, it deserves 5 stars. If nothing else, it has the best cannon fusillade of any 1812 overture I have heard. It also includes some of the best versions ever of several compositions, such as Kunzel's rendition of the Fucik favorite, Entry of the Gladiators. ...             Classical Music for People Who Hate Classical Music47 reviews Johann Pachelbel, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Compendia, 1994 The title says it all. I bought this CD set for my fiance who requested a "greatest hits" of classical music. He was able to recognize 90% of the pieces, and has listened to the CDs several times in the past month. I am a great fan of classical music, so I was able to recognize that many of the pieces were not performed by top-rate musicians or orchestras, but my fiance didn't notice. He simply wanted an ...             Favorite Waltzes10 reviews Johann II [Junior] Strauss, Josef Strauss, ... EMI Classics, 1995 Wonderful This album is wonderful listening. It's one of the favorites in my entire collection.             Holst: The Planets4 reviews Gustav Holst, Richard [1] Strauss, ... Decca, 2007 Excellent! The better of two versions by Karajan. First off, this version of The Planets is sonically superior to the other release that contains The Enigma Variations by Elgar. Secondly, I also think this performance and interpretation is much superior to Karajans 1981 release of The Planets with the Berlin Philharmonic almost 20 years later. So if you are a Karajan fan, you might want to opt for this disc. If you don't have this one, but have ...             The Only Classical CD You'll Ever Need!9 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... RCA, 1994 Great For Newcomers As an 18 year old univeristy student i would have to rate "The Only Classical Cd You'll Ever Need" as excellent. I dont know much about classical music but i was able to recognize almost every song and able to appreciate the music. Classical music is excellent to study to when i am up late for an exam and amazing to calm down to will i am simply resting. For anyone who has never been interested ...             Simply the Best Classical Anthems7 reviews Giuseppe Verdi, Carl Orff, ... Erato, 2000 Great Sampler! This is a good sampler, since it covers what you would want in a classical music CD. Looking at the tracks, it has the classic hits, such as "Ride of the Valkyries," "Toccata and Fugue," "Fanfare for the Common Man," "'Jupiter' from `The Planets,'" "Eine Klein Nachtmusik," and "Hallelujah Chorus." There are also some new pieces that I have fallen in love with, such as "The Young Person's Guide ...             Renee Fleming - The Beautiful Voice ~ Gounod, Lehar, Orff, Puccini, Rachmaninov, Strauss46 reviews Gustave Charpentier, Charles Gounod, ... London/Decca, 1998 Renee Fleming;THE BEAUTIFUL VOICE IT'S A FINE RECORDING THAT OFFERS A VARIETY OF SELECTIONS FROM OPERA, OPERETTAS AND FOLK SONGS, ALL WITH FLEMING AT HER BEST.             100 Fiedler Favorites [Box Set]8 reviews Franz von Suppe, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... RCA, 1994 Must Have When I was a child in the late 50's and 60's, the evening meal was eaten at the dining table, with the whole family gathered together. We always had music playing ... usually Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra. This great collection of Arthur Fiedler's works includes many of Fiedler's favorites, but also many of my family's favorites, too. I have my entire CD collection in ITunes, ...             Richard Strauss: Elektra7 reviews Richard [1] Strauss, Georg Solti, ... Decca, 2007 A harrowing and shocking musical journey If Richard Strauss's Salomé was a horrid tale of insanity and (peripherally) necrophilia created through unbridled lust and jealousy, Elektra is a grisly story of madness sparked by cold, dissonant revenge. Both of the operas, composed within a few years of each other, retain similar musical formulas: both take a Freudian plunge into the deepest, unknowable crevices of the human psyche with ...             Strauss: Also Sprach Zarathustra, Don Juan / Karajan25 reviews Richard [1] Strauss, Herbert von Karajan, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 The greatest recording of Zarathustra ? Karajan and his beloved Berlin Philharmonic have been accused of "over indulgency" (for example, in the complete recordings of the Beethoven Symphonies, also available on Deutsche Gramaphon). However, the same cannot be said for this recording. Lustrous strings, powerful brass and clear and concise woodwinds, all combined under the virtuosity of probably, at the time, the world's greatest ...             Richard Strauss: Salome [Remastered]7 reviews Richard [1] Strauss, Georg Solti, ... Decca, 2006 Which Salome is the best on records? Salome is a treacherous opera to cast, since the ideal soprano needs a voice of Wagnerian power coupled with an ability to sound sensuous and young. By common agreement the ideal portrayal came from Ljuba Welitsch, but her prime lasted little more than a decade in the late Forties and early Fifties; sadly, her legendary portrayal was never captured in the studio. Off and on I've owned all the ...             Best of the Millennium: Top 40 Classical Hits30 reviews Tomaso Albinoni, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Utv Records, 2000 must have This set is really a must have for anyone who enjoys good music. We are on our 3rd copy- we scratched the first and lost the second in a move.             The Complete EMI Recordings7 reviews Edward Elgar, Frederick Delius, ... EMI Classics, 2007 Bad times for the world, but good times for the admirers of Jacqueline Du Pré These are bad times for the world at large - as I write, the US financial system is threatening a giant systemic collapse, the US are mired in Irak and Afghanistan, with Russia occupying half of Georgia a new Cold War is looming large, Chinese babies are dying by the hundreds from poisoned milk, Iran and Korea won't be stopped from becoming nuke, and Paris Hilton is off her medication again - but ...             Summer24 reviews Ennio Morricone, Joaquin Rodrigo, ... Sony, 2003 Summer for ANY Season! I am NOT a fan of classical music. That single fact makes this extremely positive review perhaps even more impressive. Put simply, this CD offers vocal versions of several classical classics and movie scores as well. Summer is not an established "star" name in the music business but, one listen to some of the samples of songs like Nella Fantasia or Cavatina will convince you of the merits of ...             A to Z of Classical Music7 reviews Various, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Naxos, 2000 3rd expanded edition has a lot to offer to people wanting to learn about classical music The 2-CD set included in the new 3rd expanded edition of this release has a track listing different than what you see on this page. Click on the "back cover" picture, and it will show that the tracks (on this edition) are listed alphabetically, by composer. Of course, it's impossible to sum up the best classical works ever written on only 2 CDs, and the selections will always be debatable. But ...             Masters of the Oboe4 reviews Alessandro Marcello, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2006 Appealing Junction of Master Oboists & Composers This two CD set brings together eleven great composers: Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Marcello, Vaughan Williams, Ravel, Schumann, Britten, Poulenc and Stravinsky with their compositions for oboe. These are played by eight oboists: Black, Gomberg, Holliger, Koch, Mack, Nicklin, Schellenberger and Still. This is all world oboe team from Europe as well as states. For many like me you will find both ...             Masters of Classical Music (Box Set)26 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ... Delta, 1990 VALUE VALUE VALUE I think that this is really one of the best values you're going to find anywhere in the world of classical music, especially for beginners. You're getting 10 CDs, each filled almost to capacity, with the most famous works from the most famous composers in the history of classical music. The sound quality is excellent on every disc.
