classical music: Richard Strauss ...     classical music:       The Three Tenors Christmas31 reviews Adolphe Adam, Fermin Maria Alvarez, ... Sony, 2000 Excellent, as you'd expect from opera's finest tenors Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti teamed up to create this masterpiece. At least, that's how I describe this Christmas album, which clearly appeals to far more people than just the hardcore opera fans. Whether those fans enjoy this music, I cannot say. I'm one of those people who likes to dabble in opera occasionally but mainly listens to other types of music. With the three ...             Andrea Bocelli - The Opera Album ~ Aria93 reviews Vincenzo Bellini, Georges Bizet, ... Philips, 1998 Andrea Bocelli - Sogno I am 45 years old. The reason why this is something I am mentioning, is to let all of you reading my review know what age group I am in. It might be important to the age you are in knowing what I have to say. I have four Andrea Bocelli CD's and they are all wonderful. I love each of them. My mom turned me on to him, and, since I love Josh Groban, I decided to listen to Andrea Bocelli and see ...             The Only Classical CD You'll Ever Need!8 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ... 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 ...             25 Thunderous Classics14 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Hector Berlioz, ... 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. ...             Renee Fleming: By Request43 reviews Vincenzo Bellini, Alfredo Catalani, ... Decca, 2003 The Best of Renee Fleming This is a compilation of Renee Fleming's best works. I got it primarily for Rusalka's song to the Moon (O Silver Moon) but all the other arias are just perfect. She sings her classic, "Summertime" from Porgy & Bess (another of my favorites) so perfectly and "You'll Never Walk Alone" (she even sang this one at Barak Obama's inauguration ceremony. If you want to hear some of the most famous arias ...             A to Z of Classical Music4 reviews Various, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Naxos, 2000 Great Tracks -- Great Value -- Great Book, Who Can Complain? Naxos is a fabulous label -- you will not get samples of the best classical music through the ages at no better price. These tracks are as good as any of the over-priced major orchestras and in some cases better. This is a great starter set for a beginner or anyone who just wants to "taste" the classics. If you prefer Opera I would suggest the A to Z of Opera -- most of the tracks on A to Z ...             Holiday Instrumentals Mantovani Lifestyles, 2002             The Most Famous Opera Duets34 reviews Eberhard Wächter, Georges Bizet, ... EMI Classics, 1994 Beautiful duets... This CD is really awesome. I'm new to opera, but love the music on this CD. I use opera music in my CD clock radio (Timex from Amazon) to fall asleep to. What a way to fade into dreamland.             Richard Strauss - Der Rosenkavalier / Te Kanawa, Howells, Haugland, Bonney, Solti, Schlesinger (The Royal ...19 reviews Kiri Te Kanawa, Aage Haugland Kultur Video, 2004 Superb singing-acting If you're looking for one video ROSENKAVALIER I bet this is the one. (Unless you're a die-hard Eliz. Schwarzkopf groupie.) It's very unusual to get a cast like this with four born-for-their-parts singing actors and zero weaknesses. ALL the minor actors reward close observation. Valzacchi and Anina are as interesting in their way as the principals. (Valzacchi is played by the British celebrity ...             Beethoven's Wig, Vol. 2: More Sing-Along Symphonies19 reviews Beethoven's Wig Rounder / Umgd, 2004 Great CD The whole family loves this CD! It's a fun way to introduce the kids to classical music.             Masters of the Oboe4 reviews Sherman Walt, Denis Vigay, ... 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 ...             The Essential Canadian Brass5 reviews Anonymous, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Philips, 1992 The Best "Best of" the Canadian Brass If you buy one Canadian Brass CD, buy this one. It contains the widest variety of musical eras and styles. Our favorite CB song, Beale Street Blues is hard to find, but on this CD. There are serious, classical selections and fun songs such as the "Tuba Tiger Rag" and "Flight of the Tuba Bee". This is Brass Quintet music at its best!             The Opera Album7 reviews Maria Callas, Placido Domingo, ... EMI Classics, 2002 Best We were looking for a collection to open our enjoyment of opera, we read the reviews and purchased several compendiums and this is the most loved, most played.This one has proved the most listened to. Purchased used from a reseller on this site.Excellent service and quality - a ready made backup with all the notes and artwork             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.             Johann Strauss - Die Fledermaus / Domingo, Te Kanawa, Prey, Royal Opera Covent Garden26 reviews Kiri Te Kanawa, Hermann Prey Warner Music Group Germany, 2003 Die Fledermaus Although the performance dates from the 1980s the DVD is visually and technically quite satisfactory. The DVD I ordered suffered from two or three brief interruptions. It was a gift to a relative and I wasn't able to determine whether the problem was with the disc or the player. The performances were all first-rate. Domingo took the orchestra at a very fast clip in the more "technical" ...             R. Strauss - Salome27 reviews Teresa Stratas, Astrid Varnay Deutsche Grammophon, 2007 At last it is on DVD!! I remember this production from televsion, and then someone made me a VHS copy from Japanese television, and when that disintigrated I spent a lot of money to get the laserdisc version and have it turned in VHS. Why? In addition to being the superb German expressionistic production* with outstanding singer-actors (see previous reviews),I used it for years when I taught a humanities survey at ...             Hooked on Classics, Vol. 32 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.             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.             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.             Enchantment502 reviews Charlotte Church, Leonard Bernstein, ... Sony, 2001 I love this CD This is one of my facorite CDs. The selection of songs is amazing. They are all "classical" songs that appeal to everyone.
