But A Lover Of All Music ... Let's not be too harsh regarding this CD. I purchased this as my first baby step into the classical genre and it absolutely made me fall in love with classical music and appreciate it in a way I never could when people tried to make me like it. It is such a wide variety of classical music and I find romance to be joyful, tragic, gentle, harsh & a complete roller coaster that I found all in this ...             Vaughan Williams: The Collector's Edition4 reviews Benjamin Luxon, Brian Etheridge, ... EMI Classics, 2008 Great Value, Fine Performances For lovers of Ralph Vaughan Williams' music, the prospect of obtaining most of his works on 30 CDs for $50 or less should be irresistible.

W. Norton, 2005 Excellent Excellent product..one of the standard anthologies available for studying Music History.

EMI Classics, 2001 Beautiful piano music! This is simply an exquisite collection of beautiful piano pieces. I am very satisfied with this purchase. I can read while listening to this music-call it background music...maybe, but even when you're doing something else-the music is there...it does not intrude, but it doesn't get lost either. I am having a hard time explaining this. I wanted music to relax and enjoy. I got just that with this ...             Simply Baroque8 reviews Yo-Yo Ma, Johann Christoph Bach, ... Sony, 2003 YO YO MA'S SIMPLY BAROQUE IS SIMPLY...WONDERFUL ! The Baroque Period in Europe originated in the early 17th century and reached it's peak in the early 18th century. The English word "baroque" is translated from the Italian "barocco", meaning "bizarre". "Passionate" is probably more like it. Johann Sebastian Bach is the most celebrated of the Baroque composers, although George Frederick Handel and Antonio Vivaldi are also famous for their Baroque ...             Debussy's Greatest Hits11 reviews Claude Debussy, Andrew Litton, ... Sony, 1994 THIS IS THE STUFF RIGHT HERE! I BOUGHT THIS BECAUSE I WAS TRYING EXPAND MY HORIZONS, YOU KNOW? CULTURALLY AND MENTALLY, YOU KNOW?

Vox (Classical), 1996 Bach Surely you don't need me to review the guy. You know who he is, you've heard his music, and I hope you own some. So let me turn the podium over to a cat named Picasso, and you can read into that whatever you wish. She's in a chair, near the CD player. She has entered the room specifically for the music. Her eyes are squinted, almost but not quite shut, little face concentrating on just how ...             The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe10 reviews Johann Pachelbel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Denon Records, 2003 Relaxing Classical Music I was not really a classical music fan but I am now. I purchased this cd for my 14 year old grand-daughter, not knowing we would both enjoy the music so much. She has always enjoyed classical music along with all of the other teen music, rap, rock, country, etc. Also, it really helped being able to listen to parts of the music before purchasing.             The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe6 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ... Denon Records, 2004 sooth for both unborn and newborn babies. very soothing for the unborn baby (decreases in-utero kicking) and the newborn baby (increases between-feedings time at night). highly recommended for any newly minted parents out there.             The World's Favorite Piano Music13 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, ... RCA, 1992 My favorite CD! Van Cliburn is a master pianist, and this CD is pure listening enjoyment. I generally am not into clasical music, but this is fun. His working fingers convince me that they are not working. They are dancing, and they are having great fun. WONDERFUL!!             The Story of Bach1 review Johann Sebastian Bach, Jean-Joseph Cassanea de Mondonville, ... Vox (Classical), 1995 Excellent! We are using this series of CDs in our homeschool music program - they are fantastic! We especially love this one about Bach - what an awesome man!

My children are gaining a tremendous amount of knowlege and ...             A to Z of Classical Music3 reviews Ernst Ottensamer, 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 ...             The Essential Yo-Yo Ma18 reviews Edgar Meyer, Hector Console, ... Sony, 2005 Yo-Yo CD My nephew mentioned his desire to hear some classical music (Yo-Yo Ma, especially) on the boring trips back & forth from college. He really seemed to enjoy receiving the CD for Christmas!             Beethoven's Wig, Vol. 2: More Sing-Along Symphonies17 reviews Beethoven's Wig Rounder / Umgd, 2004 A must for Beethoven's Wig fans There are just as many great sing alongs in this CD as in the first. Most of the tracks are very singable (the Brahms piece is difficult). Lots of fun and plenty of goofy lyrics.             Debussy for Daydreaming21 reviews Claude Debussy, André Previn, ... Philips, 1995 Life Is But A Dream... This CD is just pure magic. I know that is such a cliche' thing to say, but it really is. Of course, it really won't appeal to those people who are into EXTREME LIVING...whatever the hell that means, because to me, extreme living is living close to the soul, close to the spirit, close to the Invisible Source that makes and creates all things in and out of Itself. Debussy was a composer who ...             Bach Edition: Complete Works (155 CD Box Set)54 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Andrew Manze, ... Brilliant Classics, 2006 An Excellent Value To get the entire works of Bach in a collection of this type for this price is just wonderful. I have given these as gifts and those who have received them have raved about them.

Ashkenazy is one of the titans of Chopin. Davidovich and Arrau are the other two. They're all you need. Get Davidovich for the concertos, (inlcuding the Krakowiak--Op 14), Arrau for the nocturnes and a few micscellaneous pieces. Ashkenazy handles everything else. (Btw, Ashkenazy vs. Davidovich re. the impromptus is a toss up. But since the impromptus aren't on this disc, you can make that ...             Stravinsky, Prokofiev, Scriabin, Rachmaninov, Chopin, Bach, Brahms: Alexis Weissenberg - Classic Archive3 reviews Brahms, Stravinsky Medici Masters, 2008 One of the Most Extraordinary Piano Films Ever Made My title applies primarily to the 1965 black & white film of Alexis Weissenberg playing Stravinsky's Three Movements from Petrushka, amazingly creatively filmed in Stockholm by Åke Falck.
