Frequently listen to it. He's one of my favorite composers. You can't go wrong with classical music.             25 Classical Favorites25 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ... Vox (Classical), 1996 like it I play this every night to put my son to sleep. I hear music is supposed to be good brain development for math and being a math teacher I figured I try it.

Vox (Classical), 1996 Nice cd I ordered this CD for my brother who is now taking piano lessons. The compositions aren't full length but they are good enough for a newcomer to get a feel for some Beethoven. I would recommend this CD to others.             Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 / Karajan, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra42 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Herbert von Karajan, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 The best choice This is the perfect 9th to get. Despite some reserves on chorus sound capture, almost everything is perfect in this legendary recording. Karajan would not reach this level of highness again performing this work. This is my absolute reference recording and one of the best Cd's in the whole Beethoven discography. An essential             The Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World...Ever!90 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Léo Delibes, ... EMI Classics, 1999 music I enjoy this type of music. For relaxation, it's great. Great for background music when I'm working.             25 Thunderous Classics14 reviews Richard [1] Strauss, Gustav Holst, ... Vox (Classical), 2000 This thing kills! OK, this is not a great musical experience, but a hodgepodge of the loud, vigorous and stirring parts. For what it is, and purports to be, it deserves 5 stars. If nothing else, it has the best cannon fusillade of any 1812 overture I have heard. It also includes some of the best versions ever of several compositions, such as Kunzel's rendition of the Fucik favorite, Entry of the Gladiators. ...             25 Mozart Favorites21 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Philip Gibson, ... Vox (Classical), 1996 Great Music The music on this album is very well done. Amazon's description was sketchy and after receiving the album I realized I already owned it.

We have #1 and #2 and I could not tell you which the kids enjoy more - but I do have a slight preference for #1. I'm online now getting ready to purchase #3 and #4 will be for Christmas. I'm also buying #1 for a baby shower gift. My friend is not particularly "into" classical music but she laughed a good bit listening to our ...             The Music Man (1957 Original Broadway Cast) [Angel Reissue]41 reviews Meredith Willson, Barbara Cook, ... Angel Records, 1992 Brings Back Wonderful Memories!! Today, I saw an excellent youth theatre perfomance of this classic musical!! They performed with the same enthusiasm and excitement as the original broadway cast! Listening to the original cast recording brings back wonderful memories of the production I saw today! Robert Preston doesn't just play the role of Harold Hill, he is Harold Hill!! Barbara Cook is wonderful in the role of Marion The ...             Essential Mozart: 32 Of His Greatest Masterpieces25 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Neville Marriner, ... Decca, 2001 Good times I just cant say enough about this collection. It used to be that you had to spend a fortune to get Mozart's best hits; a few on each album.

Would definitely recommend fir any age.             Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade; Capriccio Espagnol; Russian Easter Overture16 reviews Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Andrew Litton, ... EMI Classics, 1995 A gem One of my pet peeves is that reissues don't clearly state the original recording dates, especially in online descriptions. It turns out the the Scheherzade suite is from a 1998 recording of the London Philharmonic under Andrew Litton, and the Overture and Capriccio are from 1958 and 1959 respectively. I'm always a little concerned about older reissues, but the sound quality on both late '50s ...             Beethoven: Greatest Hits3 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Colin Davis, ... Sony, 1994 DON'T HESITATE TO BUY THIS CD What can I say other than this is a great CD. Beethoven was a master and his music will live forever. Altough I don't like every single symphony he composed, I love all the pieces on this album. These selections have "fire and passion," and I listen to them over and over again. Enjoy!!             Fiedler Greatest Hits5 reviews Aram Khachaturian, Edward Elgar, ... RCA, 1991 what a collaboration of musical excellence, oh what style! I bought this CD a little over a year ago and it is still among my favorites. "Polvetsian Dances" is excellent no matter what your interests. The full version of "Pomp and Circumstance" as well as "The William Tell Overature" are wonderful; The "Procession of the Nobles" is victorious and galliant; the lyrical complexity of "Farandole" is haunting. This is a brilliant compilation of ...             25 Handel Favorites4 reviews George Frederick Handel, Donald Neuen, ... Vox (Classical), 2000 Handel 25 Favorites I purchased this CD because I like to listen to Water Music and even have it as my ringtone. The other feature I enjoyed listening that came with this CD the vocal songs...Hallelujah Chorus and For unto us a Child is Born. Those who like classical music should add this to their collection. The only drawback is when it came to track two and three.... Pastorale and Bourree I can't hardly hear it ...             The Story of Mozart in Words and Music3 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Gaspar Sanz, ... Vox (Classical), 1994 Based on the Price, You Can't Beat it. This short CD comfortably displays the basics of Mozart in words and music. If your a classical lover interested in these geniuses, and have a literary love also, then you would enjoy these nicely told stories. I learned here that Mozart picked up his x-girlfriends sister after she cheated on him; Nice! What a stud. I purchased CD's like this a year ahead of time to use them as time ...             The Story of Beethoven2 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Vox (Classical), 1995 Great value! Though I haven't listened to all of the CD's in this series which I ordered, I am very impressed with the ones I have listened to. Very enjoyable and informative, and the price couldn't be any lower!!!             Mussorgsky: Pictures at an Exhibition, A Night on Bald Mountain, and Other Russian Showpieces [Hybrid SACD]16 reviews Modest Mussorgsky, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky RCA, 2004 Russian orchestral show-stoppers What a golden era this record dates from and yet it wares its age well! Reiner's interpretations are quite inspirational and the Chicago Orchestra plays exceptionally well - as ever - for the maestro. What performances! The recorded sound is fantastic - especially the SACD layer. There really is little to fault here and this can be considered highly recommendable. Performance: 5/5 There ...             Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments17 reviews Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments Deutsche Grammophon, 2002 Opera's Most Heavenly Moments Indeed I have more experience with other genres of music, but am interested in basically all kinds. I have been collecting CDs for nearly 2 decades but had no Opera in my collection. I did a little research and arrived at a conclusion. If I wanted the most and best Opera music for my money, I had to get this title, which is a double album, and "The Most Famous Opera Duets". Well, the latter was a ...             Baby Einstein: Playtime Music Box12 reviews Baby Einstein Buena Vista, 2004 Great product This is fabulous and my baby loves it at 4 months old.
