Decca, 2005 Great The music was just as the title stated relaxing. The songs were not just a recording of an existing song.             The Holly and the Ivy: Carols from Clare College18 reviews Anonymous, Harold Darke, ... Decca, 1990 Sure to Spread Some Joy I have just recently started to explore the world of choral music and I am so glad to have purchased this CD. To use an old-fashioned term, it is truly delightful. The song 'Donkey Carol' is my favorite and it is sure to bring a smile to the face of even the most misanthropic scrooge.             Rachmaninoff Plays Rachmaninoff: Zenph Re-performance17 reviews Sergei Rachmaninoff Sony, 2009 Incredible This album is absolutely amazing. It gave me a new-found appreciation for Rachmaninoff's music. Etude Tableau, Op. 33, No. 2 in C Major is a wonderful display of his talent and power behind a piano, and Prelude, Op. 3, No. 2 in C-Sharp Minor is an amazing example of how he can tell such a detailed story with no words and 88 keys. I could not stop listening to it. Zenph is doing things I could ...             Noel: Christmas at King's7 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Peter Cornelius, ... Decca, 1995 The Best Christmas CD Ever If you are seeking a CD of traditional Christmas music to help you 1) focus on the true meaning of the holiday and 2)draw near to God, this is it. The choral arrangements are alternately beautiful and powerful, delicate and majestic. There is a rich heritage of European carols which 99% of Americans know nothing of. Broaden your horizons with this disc. You won't regret it.             Healing Sounds Of Nature: Ocean Waves7 reviews Music for Deep Sleep Inner Splendor Media LLC, 2008 Just what I needed I have been looking for a recording like this for a while and I have finally found it. The tracks are nice and long, just perfect for going to sleep with. Also the waves are clear but not distracting, the rumble of the ocean bring me peace and quiet. Thanks!             Cambridge Singers Christmas Album7 reviews Stephen Orton, Adolphe Adam, ... Collegium, 2003 Glittering Chrismas Music I own virtually all of the CD's of John Rutter (whom I greatly admire) and the Cambridge Singers, and I am a fan of English Choral music in general. If I were asked to recommend only one of the many Cambridge Singers Christmas albums, or indeed one of any English Christmas album, a hard choice, this would be it. As others have noted, this CD is a compilation of songs from previous cds with four ...             Christmas Album7 reviews Nana Mouskouri Philips, 2003 Nanna /Christmas I have always enjoyed the voice of Nanna Mouskouri for many years. She has a voice of a nightingale. This cd is full of beautiful international Christmas music. If you enjoy music in multi languages then you totally agree with my rating of this cd...             Best Carols 1002 reviews Gareth Morrell, Hermann Prey, ... EMI Classics, 2007 Unbelievable bargain I agree with the initial reviewer's comments. I've accumulated many exquisite Christmas recordings over the years, some unmatched in their beauty and quality, but this is a gem in its own right. This would make a great addition to any collection, particularly as an introduction to the British choral tradition. There are so many standouts, I wouldn't know where to begin. I highly recommend ...             Essential Carols: The Very Best of King's College Choir, Cambridge Johann Sebastian Bach, Peter Cornelius, ... Decca, 2005             Classic Christmas Carols2 reviews King's College Choir Emi Classics, 2008 Beautiful Choral Christmas Music This is, basically what it says, classic Christmas music done by a good choir and a wonderful organist. The sound is great, the choir is dead on, and the music is beautiful and traditional.....no surprises here.....good or bad. Plus, it's eight bucks for essentially what is a two disc set.....fifty three songs. If you are looking for a nice traditional Christmas album, you could do a whole ...             Merry Christmas Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Hermann Prey, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2005             My Precious Little One29 reviews Rick Springfield Gomer Records / DKE Records, 2009 Saves me after a bad day This is such a fantastic CD! After a bad day, when I'm lying in bed and can't shut off the days events, I put the head phones on and listen to this CD for relaxation. I'm always asleep after a few songs! His vocals on this CD are so soothing! Shows what he can do when he's not blaring out the rock 'n' roll! I've used other Rick music to help me into a good mood, to energize me, to get ...             Sephardic Romances8 reviews Galician Traditional, Sephardic Traditional, ... Naxos, 1997 easily the most formidable instrumentalists in early music Note, however, that Sephardic music is NOT verifiably medieval, having been recorded only in the 20th century. Also note that Sephardic songs are/were rarely accompanied by instruments (all the arrangements here are instrument-heavy). Nonetheless, the fact remains that Michael Posch, Marco Ambrosini, Riccardo Delfino, and Thomas Wimmer are among the very few truly brilliant early music players ...             Christus Natus Est: Early English Christmas1 review Egerton Manuscript 3307 Anonymous, English Anonymous, ... Coro, 2004 superb (if sometimes anachronistic) performances of beautiful music Amongst the exhaustive catalogue of recordings devoted to Christmas music, this particular example - focusing on works written in England during the Middle Ages and Renaissance - can be warmly recommended indeed. The performances, as ever by this superb choir, are polished and beautifully executed, and the programme is varied both in terms of the selection of pieces (carols, motets, ballads, ...             The Very Best of the Irish Tenors13 reviews The Irish Tenors Music Matters, 2007 Irish Magic This is my first CD of the Irish Tenors. And what a joy! I played it as soon as it arrived. I like the blend of their voices,the passion and enthusiasm they bring to this CD. What I find is a real treat is the words to all the songs are in the booklet.I love this CD.             Christmas Night: Carols of the Nativity20 reviews Boris Ord, Herbert Howells, ... Collegium, 1993 Beautiful Music, Beautifully Sung This compilation of Christmas carols both traditional and modern stands in stark contrast to much of the bubble gum, soda pop Christmas music so often heard on popular radio these days. There are no divas or over the top performances or attempts to make "a moment". What there is are beautiful songs sung by talented singers. So many of these carols are so beautiful that it's hard to pick out ...             John Rutter: Music for Christmas3 reviews Polyphony, Stephen Layton, ... Hyperion UK, 2001 At the Top of My Christmas Playing List! This is just an outstanding collection of choral, Christian selections. The majority are composed by Rutter, who it turns out was led into this field for which he is so well known and loved when in school, he was motivated by a fellow student who was composing a Christimas carol to do the same. Thanks be to God for that motivation! Rutter's work simply in this humble reviewer has no other ...             English Renaissance Music7 reviews John Bull, William [Composer] Byrd, ... Sony, 1990 The finest brass ensembles all on 1 album I got this CD quite a while ago, and I still listen to it almost daily. Best at night in a candlelit room while it's raining sipping fine wine and reminising of the Renaissance festival! (wierd, I know. But that's just me) If you have an interest in this time period, you won't regret buying this CD.             Noels & Carols The Olde World2 reviews Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, ... Koch Int'l Classics, 2004 a thing of beauty this was a featured christmas disc on sattelite classical radio and the response of the public bodes well for the appreciation of beautiful music in 2009             Healing Sounds of Nature: Tropical Rainforest At Night, Waterfall and Crickets5 reviews Music for Deep Sleep Inner Splendor Media LLC, 2008 Just gorgeous I love this 2 CD set mainly because of the length of the tracs--30 plus minutes each, so they are perfect to fall asleep with. I also LOVE, LOVE that there are different variations to the tracks, one for instance has a lovely waterfall with the rainforest sounds while other has more cricket like sounds of the rainforest at night.
