I don't think so, but in any case, this new album from the now very svelte and very georgeous Sarah Brightman is superb. The power, the control, the clarity is all there. This experienced vocalist is the definition of a world class diva. The proof of it all is the fact that her fans, of which I am one, could listen to her for days on end without getting ...             Andrea Bocelli - Sacred Arias / Myung-Whun Chung124 reviews George Frideric Handel, Giulio Caccini, ... Philips, 1999 Beautiful music This is my second copy of this CD, I burned the first one out!! Andrea Bocelli has a very gorgeous voice that is a gift from above.

I bought the complete set for my birthday. What a wonderful surprise ! Let's say I did not know much about Mozart's music except some few "classics" (the symphonies, the requiem, some piano concertos and sonatas, some serenades and the operas). I love every piece I have listened to until now. I have discovered beautiful music I would never have listened to if I had not bought the set !

Emi Classics, 2007 Great Bargain of Elgar Masterworks and Forgotten Gems! Like Sony's Stravinsky set, this Elgar set from EMI seems to want to challenge the Brilliant Classics label by providing lots of music for little money. This costs more than the Stravinsky, but you get 30 cds here as opposed to the 22 in the Stravinsky set. On the average, you are paying $2 a disc, as opposed to the seperate issues listed on Amazon that are going for about $20 in some instances. ...             Brahms: Ein deutsches Requiem [A German Requiem]28 reviews Johannes Brahms, Otto Klemperer, ...

Collegium, 2000 Cambridge Singers have never been better! I have listened to many other composers' requiems, but this one beats them all. It is a little unusual to have both English and Latin liturgy in a requiem, but it is entirely appropriate in this case, as it contains the Mass, psalms, and personal prayers to Christ--I thoroughly enjoyed some of the burial service text sang along with the requiem mass. The Cambridge singers are sublime, and ...             Verdi: Requiem & Operatic Choruses11 reviews Paul Plishka, Giuseppe Verdi, ... Telarc, 1990 Great version There are version of Verdi's Requiems in that market. I consider this to be onre the best ones I have heard.

EMI Classics, 2003 A must buy for the non-snobbish classical music fan. I bought Vol. 1 of this series and was quite satisfied, but I have to say I'm more than satisfied with this one. If you can just mellow out and enjoy some great pieces, you'll love this CD. #15 on Disc 2 is almost worth the price alone!             Vaughan Williams: Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis; Fantasia on21 reviews Edward Elgar, Ralph Vaughan Williams, ... EMI Classics, 2000 barbirolli at his best I first heard Elgar's Introduction and Allegro for Strings in a DG recording by the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra; when I saw this recording in my college library, I thought to myself, "I wonder if Barbirolli can play it better..." Barbirolli seems to have Midas' touch with British orchestral music - and this repertoire brings out some of his best qualities (namely the string playing). The London ...             Works of Igor Stravinsky13 reviews Donald Gramm, Howard Chitjian, ... Sony Classics, 2007 The Bargain of 2007 I consider this release\compilation to be the greatest classical bargain of 2007-a year of many complete issues such as Bach and Mozart on Brilliant classics(before 07). Stravinsky is the conductor for almost all the performances with the CBS orchestra and, though recorded in the early to late 60's, the sound is spectacular. I am listening to disc 1(for the tenth time) and still love the ...              search for classical music brightman, cambridge, choruses, classical, classics, collection, collector, compilation, complete, deutsches, durufle, edition, essential, fantasia, favorites, greatest, magnificat, masterpieces, myung-whun, operatic, original, pavarotti, premiere, relaxing, requiem, singers, stravinsky, vaughan, williams, windham classical music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
