Il Divo

The Best Concert Yet!
I have 3 videos of Il Divo and I can attest that this concert is passionate, musically distinctive and energetic. I felt like I was right there in the concert hall being seranaded by the best damn singers in the world. The only thing I would have changed would be to have a real Grand Piano in the concert and maybe more instruments in the orchestra. I like how the compositions were connected ...

The Priests

Rca, 2009

A strongly classical repertoire delights on "Harmony"
On The Priests' sophomore CD, Fathers Martin and Eugene O'Hagan and Father David Delargy tackle another round of soul-stirring hymns and religious music, including How Great Thou Art, Amazing Grace, the Lord's Prayer and Silent Night. The Lord's Prayer deserves special mention for the powerful a capella rendition; it's the only track not backed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, thereby evoking ...

Magical
There are many beautiful version of The Nutcracker but this one is magical. Criticism of the production quality for its blue cast is correct - it's not nearly so colorful as, for example, the very recent San Francisco version. But what makes it magical is that these are not ballet stars showing their abilities. Baryshnikov and Kirkland and Minz ARE the Nutcracker/prince, Clara and ...

The duet with Katherine, "I Believe" is not only beautiful ...

The album begins with a wonderful rendition of "Hark The Herald Angels ...

Beautiful music lovingly and spititedly performed. This is not the usual rendition of early music.It exhibits quite a measure of fresh air. This recording is an instant favorite of mine and will receive repeated playings.

Cecilia Bartoli: Sacrificium

Various, Giovanni Antonini, ...

Decca, 2009

Continues to impress in many ways
Cecilia Bartoli is not only perhaps the loveliest voice I have ever heard, but she also does a service to opera. She delves into songbooks that would otherwise not be recorded or perhaps even be lost. From Salieri, to Opera Proibita to Maria. . . . and now Sacrificium. The songbook of The Castrata!! It is important to preserve such opera history and I applaud her delving into this less safe ...

Amazing Concert, Amazing bluray disc
As a great fan of Andrea, I have to admit that was I let down by his work, on the contrary I have all his discs and dvds. This bluray disc is worth its money, since the concert in Teatro del Silencio is great, let alone the HD quality! It feels as if you can touch Andrea and the orchestra.. so real it is!

Yo-Yo Ma

Sony, 2008

A Christmas album for people who are sick of Christmas
Sometimes, when a classical artist decides to branch out into other forms of music, the result is laughable -- perfect chops but no soul. Yo-Yo Ma has managed to beat that result several times, and this disc is one of them. He is the sort of musician who notes artistic worth even if the player didn't graduate from Julliard, and chose a great mix from his acquaintances outside the concert-hall ...

The best yet by Haley.
I have never heard anyone that has such a flawless voice and wonderful interpretation of music as does Haley. I've listened to the samples so far of Winter Magic, and can't wait to receive the CDs, all but one of which will be gifts to some very lucky people at Christmas. Please read what the other reviewers have to say that have actually received theirs. You, too, can be one of the lucky ...

Perfect Combo of Technique and Fun
I recently saw David Garrett in Concert and fell in love with his playing. Watching him was half the fun. My husband bought me this CD right afterwards and I love it! He plays, along with his band of a drummer, guitar, and keyboard, an eclectic mixture of music--classical, various forms of contemporary including ballads and rock and his own compositions, intermixing genres and tempos nicely. ...

Impressed
I bought this item from iTunes. What a great work of music. It is enriching to your soul and mind. I love the mixture of latin, western, celtic and african music... Great work. I love it. And the voice of Pope Benedict makes it all the more special. Great gift idea for anyone who is a true catholic in his/her mind and heart.
