Decca, 2002 The Ultimate in the Classical Voice Performance The Best of the Three Tenors is a celebration of our greatest legends in Classical Music. Very little is available for classical music lovers today, so this is a must for your music library. Unless children and teens hear the classically trained voice when they are young, they will not develop the concept of music appreciation at its best. They are bombarded with screamers and contemporary ear ...             The Best Of Andrea Bocelli Vivere (CD & DVD Deluxe Edition)40 reviews Nathan East, Paolo Bighignoli, ... Decca, 2007 THE BEST OF ANDREA BOCELLI I love anything Andrea Bocelli does. He has an amazing voice! I own several of his CD'S             Johann Strauss - Die Fledermaus / Domingo, Te Kanawa, Prey, Royal Opera Covent Garden26 reviews Kiri Te Kanawa, Hermann Prey Warner Music Group Germany, 2003 Die Fledermaus Although the performance dates from the 1980s the DVD is visually and technically quite satisfactory. The DVD I ordered suffered from two or three brief interruptions. It was a gift to a relative and I wasn't able to determine whether the problem was with the disc or the player. The performances were all first-rate. Domingo took the orchestra at a very fast clip in the more "technical" ...             Plays Metallica by Four Cellos106 reviews Apocalyptica Fontana Island, 1996 fantastic these guys do with 4 instruments what metallica sucked at with an entire orchastra. you can tell easily exactly what song it is. each cello harbors the melodies that are used by each of the members of metallica, including percussion. for any real metallica fan, the songs, not sure if they are on this specific album (the may be on inquisition symphony) but the quintessential metallica songs, ...             Andrea51 reviews Andrea Bocelli, Baron Browne, ... Philips, 2004 HOW DO YOU SAY,"WOW," IN ITALIAN? BEFORE I START, LET ME SAY, THAT I AM A DANCE CLUB GUY AND THAT, ORDINARILY, THIS IS NOT MY KIND OF MUSIC. OF COURSE, I LAUGH AS I SAY THAT, AS, APPARENTLY, A NEW DOOR HAS OPENED IN MY LIFE, THANKS TO THIS MAN. A FEW YEARS AGO I HAD HEARD ANDREA DO, "CON TE PARTIRO," ON A PBS SPECIAL AND MY EYES FILLED WITH TEARS THAT ANY HUMAN COULD MAKE SUCH SOUNDS. I WAS ASTOUNDED; MORE ASTOUNDING, STILL, ...             David Garrett51 reviews David Garrett Decca Records, 2009 Energizing CD I just happened on this David Garrett CD, not knowing anything about him, but after reviewing a couple of tracks decided to get it. I am just WOWED by this man's vitality and could not stop playing it. I love his versions of Carmens Fantasie and Pirates of the Caribbean, but was also touched and moved by his own composition of Chelsea Girl (a melancholy love theme). I shall definately keep my ...             The Promise276 reviews Il Divo Sony, 2008 love this so much first time i heard them i was blown away, had to get their music             Verdi - Otello / Domingo, Fleming, Morris, Croft, Levine, Moshinsky, Metropolitan Opera30 reviews Plácido Domingo, Renée Fleming Deutsche Grammophon, 2004 Excelent DVD Verdi - Otello / Domingo, Fleming, Morris, Croft, Levine, Moshinsky, Metropolitan Opera Outstanding video. The acting and singing are very good and convincing. Otello's troubled personality which goes from love to jealousy, anger and finally to murder and suicide is well performed by Placido Domingo. Morris and Renne Fleming are of equally great, he has played a manipulative and evil ...             Verdi - Rigoletto / Luciano Pavarotti, Ingvar Wixell, Edita Gruberova, Victoria Vergara, Ferruccio ...61 reviews G. Verdi, Wiener Opera Philharmoniker Deutsche Grammophon, 2006 Glad I'm not a real Opera Lover! Real opera lovers are a wee tad finicky, as the one- and two-star reviews of this DVD demonstrate. Real opera lovers seem to have a Platonic Ideal of the opera in their cavernous consciousnesses, a template of what Joe Verdi intended, from which any deviation is risky. Real opera lovers don't take well to 'film' productions of their idolized operas. Even if they are now ultra-pecunious enough to ...             O Holy Night / Luciano Pavarotti / Special Deluxe Edition (Decca)19 reviews Vittoriano Benvenuti, Hector Berlioz, ... Decca, 2005 An awesome musical experience I believe that Luciano far exceeded Caruso. His voice reached out to everyone, except for that unfortunate foray into the "Georgio" film. He presented his music with a marvelous flair for detail. We shall miss him, so much.             Pavarotti Forever11 reviews Luciano Pavarotti Decca, 2007 The Gift. It is sad, isn't it, that we take our gifted artists for granted until they're gone forever. I'm guilty of that short-sightedness to this day and here is a great example. When Pavarotti began his rush to fame in the early 1990's, like many others, I just knew his singing would be around throughout my lifetime. Now he's gone. Had he not passed on, I probably would still not have owned this CD ...             Bellini: I Puritani27 reviews Anna Netrebko, Eric Cutler Deutsche Grammophon, 2007 Adorable, breath-taking and tenderly performed. This MET production is an adorable performance of Bellini's I Puritani. Anna Netrebko plays Elvira in the most tender fashion possible. Her mad scene in Act 2 is breath-taking and outstanding. Her performance of the aria "Ah vieni al tempio, fidele Arturo" towards the end of Act 1 is so tenderly performed, its articulations so moving that it impresses me each time I listen to it again. I rated ...             Beethoven: The Piano Concertos [DVD Video]12 reviews Deutsche Grammophon, 2007 Five of the best. Thank heavens these performances were visually recorded, and that at last they are internationally released on DVD. Nos. 1 and 2, the lightweights, are conducted from the piano by Krystian Zimerman beautifully. Nos. 3, 4, and 5 are performed under the baton of Leonard Bernstein, who produces excellent results from the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra together with a young pianist's perception of ...             Mozart - Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro) / Haitink, Finley, Hagley, Fleming, Glyndebourne ...50 reviews Gerald Finley, Alison Hagley Kultur Video, 2003 Mozart's Marriage of Figaro Excellent DVD of an excellent production of The Marriage of Figaro. Just like I was in the theater.             Siempre2 reviews Il Divo Sony Bmg Europe, 2006 Beautiful!!!! What can I say? I love Il Divo!! Their music is soothing and romantic. This is my third one that I have bought and I will buy their others. It is not a disappointment to me that several of their songs are in other languages, it's just makes for a richer and more fulfilling Il Divo musical experience. The Amazing Grace song on their CD The Promise is the most beautiful rendition I have ever heard! ...             Bellini: I Puritani (Blu-Ray) [Blu-ray]2 reviews Eric Cutler, Anna Netrebko Deutsche Grammophon, 2008 An excellent Puritani This Puritani, which is part of the Metropolitan Opera's series of high definition broadcasts and recordings of live performances, is excellent. The staging is quite conventional, sets and costumes are beautiful, and the singing, especially Netrebko and Relyea, is excellent. The fact that it is available in high definition (Blueray) is an added bonus.             Bizet - Carmen / Obraztsova, Domingo, Mazurok, Buchanan, Rydl, Zednik, Kleiber, Vienna Opera12 reviews Carlos Kleiber, Elena Obraztsova Tdk DVD Video, 2005 Yes! Of course many different great artists made this production a great one but I decided to buy this DVD only because of Carlos Kleiber and I couldn't be happier.             Christmas Wonderland30 reviews Bert Kaempfert Taragon, 1996 Wonderful Memories This album takes me back to my childhood. Memories of family and events from the mid-1960's come rushing back whenever I listen to it. I heard individual tunes from it on the radio for several Christmas seasons before finding the vinyl album in a department store. How excited I was to find it and have the money to pay for it. $2.79 was a lot of money for me then. My record player had a ...             Beethoven - Choral Fantasy and Triple Concerto for Violin, Cello & Piano / Barenboim, Ma, Perlman12 reviews Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman EMI Classics, 2003 Beethoven Choral fantasy and Triple Concerto A wonderful treat to see these three great musicians playing together! They are so intense and involved in the music, a true inspiration to us all! Outstanding work by Daniel Barenboim to be able to conduct and play - he is truly one of the greatest pianists of our time!             Puccini - Madama Butterfly34 reviews Mirella Freni, Plácido Domingo Deutsche Grammophon, 2005 Mesmerizing This version of Madama Butterfly is simply astonishing. Freni and Domingo are magnificent and Von Karajan, once again, proves to be the great maestro of all times. I watched this dvd with some friends and all of us were moved,some to tears, at the power of the performances.              search for classical music barenboim, beethoven, buchanan, butterfly, christmas, concerto, concertos, fantasy, ferruccio, festival, fledermaus, furlanetto, glyndebourne, gruberova, haitink, kleiber, marriage, metallica, metropolitan, moshinsky, obraztsova, pavarotti, perlman, puritani, riccardo, rigoletto, special, vergara, victoria, wonderland classical music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
