EMI Classics, 2001 Relaxing Music Suited For Today's Busy Lifestyles "A vast and tender calm Seems to descend from the sky Lit by the moon This is the exquisite hour" ~ Paul Verlaine ~ The above quote is taken from a poem by 19th Century Fench poet Paul Verlaine titled "La Bonne Chanson No. 6." His words fittingly describe the ambience of this classical album which promises unruffled musical moments just perfect for unwinding and relaxing, or when you're ...             Tchaikovsky: Concerto No. 1/Rachmaninoff: Concerto No. 250 reviews Sergey Rachmaninov, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ... RCA, 1993 One of the best renditions, ever! I've noticed that some folks are a tad critical of the treatment, fidelity, balance, pacing, etc. of this performance, not considering when this recording was made. And, perhaps, not recognizing why it was made in the first place. It reminds me of my reaction to a recording of Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue" that I caught mid-stream in the car on WRR radio in Dallas. It thought it was the ...             Yo-Yo Ma & Bobby McFerrin: Hush34 reviews Bobby McFerrin, Antonio Vivaldi, ... Sony, 1992 Great for kids! This was one of my favorite tapes as a kid and am glad that it is still around so that I can give it to my sister for her kids. Who doesn't love a good excuse to sing along and make noises all at the same time?             The World's Favorite Piano Music21 reviews Van Cliburn RCA, 1992 Classical Favorites From A True Virtuoso of Piano Van Cliburn is my Tchaikovsky, Liszt, Chopin, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Brahms all rolled into one virtuoso of piano. I've seen one of his live concerts and collected some of his remarkable recordings enough to truly attest that he can expressively play rich and varied masterpieces of the greatest and most brilliant, pianistic composers from Baroque to ...             Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1; Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 2 [Hybrid SACD]9 reviews Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Sergey Rachmaninov, ... RCA, 2004 As it should be In years past, I had never been able to embrace Van Cliburn's famed Tchaikovsky Piano Conerto #1. Poor sound reproduction on previous cd releases just did not allow the power of this incredible performance to shine through. All that has changed with this RCA Living Stereo Hybrid SACD edition. The brillantly improved sound and the enhanced spatial seperation on this version makes Cliburn's ...             The Essential Yo-Yo Ma24 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Antonio Vivaldi, ... Sony, 2005 Title says it all! The title says it all - perfect collection for Yo-Yo fans or a great introduction for classical music lovers.             25 Classical Favorites25 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ... Vox (Classical), 1996 like it I play this every night to put my son to sleep. I hear music is supposed to be good brain development for math and being a math teacher I figured I try it. Playing this music seems to relax my son and puts him to sleep. It even puts my husband to sleep...             Symphony (25) Favorites2 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Vox (Classical), 1997 A Grand symphonic adventure This album provides a quick exposure to some of the best movements in the best symphonies. Many of the tracks will sound familiar. They are played well and have good sound quality. As a novice musician, i have great appreciation for it.             Sarah Brightman Classics155 reviews Sarah Brightman, Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni, ... Angel Records, 2001 Sara Brightman Product is as advertized. If shipped from Saint Paul, the service was suburb and on time. If shipped from elsewhere service was late and way too long especially if shipped from western US...which is closer to me than MN!             The Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World...Ever!90 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Léo Delibes, ... EMI Classics, 1999 music I enjoy this type of music. For relaxation, it's great. Great for background music when I'm working.             Agnus Dei: Music of Inner Harmony: The Choir of New College Oxford28 reviews Samuel Barber, Gabriel Faure, ... Erato, 1997 Wow! I'm a long-time listener of all things rock-'n-roll, from Classic rock, to Alternative, and even a little Metal. I first heard this CD while having dinner at a friends house a long time ago, and I loved it. I've always been enchanted with choir music, so I bought this CD. Well, after years of listening to it to help me to unwind in the evening, I somehow misplaced it. So I came to Amazon to ...             Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor; Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini11 reviews Sergey Rachmaninov, Andr Previn, ... Universal Classics, 2003 Excellent Service - As Usual! Everything was completed in great shape, as usual. The disc was exactly as described...it was shipped immediately...and arrived in the time frame advertised, with notice having been e-mailed. My title as stated above says it all!             Pianist of the Century (Box)8 reviews Robert Schumann, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2009 one of many "pianists of the century" At the time these recordings were made for DGG Sviatoslav Richter was just emerging from his Soviet cocoon, having previously been isolated, for the most part, from western culture & influence. While Richter's art matured as he was exposed to musicians & musical ideas outside the iron curtain, his middle period, which these recordings capture, reflect an undiluted artistic personality that was ...             Rachmaninoff: Concerto No. 3 in D minor, Op. 30 / Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto No. 1 in B flat minor, Op. 2372 reviews Sergei Rachmaninov Philips, 1995 The Keyboard's On Fire! I can only echo what so many other five-star reviewers here have noted. Martha owns both of these concertos, and this disc clearly illustrates why. To those who complain about some missed notes, it's extremely rare for anyone to play either of these difficult pieces from beginning to end without making mistakes. The great majority of piano concerto recordings - both live and studio - are later ...             Rachmaninov: The Symphonies23 reviews Tom Krause, Sergey Rachmaninov, ... Decca, 1998 The Best Rachmaninov Orchestral Music on the Market These set the modern standard for the Rachmaninov symphonies. Ashkenazy shows a remarkable affinity for the music. The little known 1st is given a performance that justifies its revival in the repertory. The uncut 2nd is breathtakingly beautiful. Ashkenazy allows it all its "heavenly length" - the complex textures of the first movement, the stunningly energetic scherzo, the beautifully languorous ...             25 Piano Favorites9 reviews Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Johannes Brahms, ... Vox (Classical), 1996 25 Piano Favorites This is my favorite classical CD since it is geared to a wide audience. Many of my friends and acquaintances enjoy it, too.             Cello Adagios4 reviews Camille Saint-Saens, Sergey Rachmaninov, ... Decca, 2004 really like it This is the first classical cd I have ever bought. The two-disc album was a great price. I really love the performance of Lynn Harrell. I like the collection of Adagios because they are perfect to fall asleep to or study to.             Rachmaninoff Plays Rachmaninoff: The 4 Piano Concertos43 reviews Sergey Rachmaninov, Eugene Ormandy, ... RCA, 1994 Dreaming Rachmaninov Ordering coffee at 6:00 AM in an empty Java Jones, I heard some amazing piano and instantly fell in love with this music. I asked the coffee girl what song this was and she told me it was some dude named Rachmaninoff and spelled it onto a napkin (mispelled it, making it impossible to find later), and since then this album has been one of my favorites. I went on a Rachmaninoff binge for a ...             Lux Aurumque6 reviews Alexander Grechaninov, Howard Hanson, ... Gothic Records, 2007 Extraordinary The Dale Warland Singers' recordings cannot be missed by lovers of choral music, nor by any lover of fine singing, and this one goes right to the top of the list. It stands, hand in hand with their "Cathedral Classics" (featuring tremendous performances of the Martin Mass and Howells Requiem), as superlative evidence of the marvelous achievements possible in a cappella choral singing. Various ...             Choral Masterpieces9 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Telarc, 1990 Uncle Abe rattles the house with this thing I came home from work one day when my uncle was visiting my wife and myself. He was recently retired from the ministry. He had heard a lot of choral music in his life. My aunt said he had the stereo ( power end of my stereo at the time was an Adcomm 555 amp. conservatively rated at 200 watts RMS per channel) up so loud it was rattling the whole house. I too have come to love this music.
