Decca, 2001 Christmas Adagios This is the BEST Christmas collection that I have ever heard. I would like to purchase 15 more to give as gifts this year; however, it appears that Decca is out of stock or no longer releasing it. HELP!!             Classic Christmas Carols2 reviews King's College Choir Emi Classics, 2008 Beautiful Choral Christmas Music This is, basically what it says, classic Christmas music done by a good choir and a wonderful organist. The sound is great, the choir is dead on, and the music is beautiful and traditional.....no surprises here.....good or bad. Plus, it's eight bucks for essentially what is a two disc set.....fifty three songs. If you are looking for a nice traditional Christmas album, you could do a whole ...             O Holy Night / Luciano Pavarotti / Special Deluxe Edition (Decca)18 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.             The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe24 reviews Johann Pachelbel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Denon Records, 2003 Very good! I was impressed from the selection of the songs in the album. I advise everybody who are willing to relax by listenning these masterpieces. (Shut off the lights while listenning)             The Well-Tempered Clavier I2 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Maurizio Pollini Deutsche Grammophon, 2009 At last, Pollini's long-awaited WTC...a revelatory performance I've been waiting for several decades to hear Pollini play the WTC, which he began to include on programs in the 1970s but has never played in my hometown of Boston. The thing about this WTC is that it is unlike any other you've ever heard, including Gould, Gulda, Richter, Schepkin, Schiff, Hewitt, Fellner, Ashkenazy, Aldwell, Barenboim, Tureck, and Fischer. There is a remarkable purity about it ...             Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces25 reviews Essential Guitar: 34 Gtr Masterpieces Decca, 2002 Wonderful I fell in love with Recuerdos de la Alhambra from another CD I own and wanted more music along the same lines.

Philips, 1999 Positively Magnificant Just purchased the CD today and absolutely love it. Not so sure about the "Jingle Bells" , but The Lord's Prayer is BREATHTAKING and brought me to tears. Andrea is I believe the most gifted tenor of today and I look forward to hearing more from him and seeing him again in concert. Bravo Andrea!             Debussy: Clair de lune & Other Piano Favourites14 reviews Claude Debussy, Francois-Joël Thiollier Naxos, 2004 A sound that quenches the thirst of the soul! I have played the Debussy: Clair de lune & Other Piano Favorites so much, that I can pick out any Debussy from a variety of music. It is great to listen to when I am reading, studying, or even cleaning house. The music is so relaxing and serene. I highly recommend it to anyone!             The Essential Yo-Yo Ma22 reviews Edgar Meyer, Hector Console, ... Sony, 2005 Great CD The CD was delivered in a timely manner.

Denon Records, 2004 Great soothing music! The greatest soothing music for my 20 month old son and my 4 year old nephew to fall asleep. We use it so much that I had to buy a new cd and so had my sister. I give it as gifts and all the children have loved the music. The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe             Simply Baroque9 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 ...             25 Bach Favorites12 reviews Hildegard Rutgers, Erich Wenk, ... 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 Chopin Collection [Box Set]23 reviews Frederic Chopin, Artur Rubinstein RCA Victor Europe, 1991 A good set for a good price When I was growing up, I was exposed to mostly classical music including Chopin. I remember my parents having RCA recordings of Arthur Rubinstein playing the Waltzes, Mazurkas and Polonaises. Out of the all Chopin performers, the greatest was Arthur Rubinstein followed (very closely) by Vladmir Horowitz. This being said, the CD set has transcribed well and remastered in digital format ...             Christmas with Mario Lanza26 reviews Adolphe Adam, Nicholas Brodszky, ... RCA, 1990 Mario Lanza Christmas Music My old cassette tape of Mario Lanza singing Christmas music dragged badly and could no longer be played. What a treat it is to hear his beautiful voice again on a new CD!             Art of Segovia16 reviews Andres Segovia Deutsche Grammophon, 2002 What can anyone say about Segovia ........ ......... that hasn't already been said a million times over? He's the best that ever was.             The World's Favorite Piano Music20 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Johannes Brahms, ... RCA, 1992 The most beautiful piano music We recently obtained a piano and I wanted to listen to some quality piano music. This CD is utterly beautiful . . . relaxing, yet inspiring. Never dull! It's also nice to learn the names of the melodies that have been familiar for so many years. Buy this CD!             Spanish Guitar Music10 reviews Isaac Albeniz, Mateo Albeniz, ... Sony, 2002 The Best Classical Guitarist in the World All of the music on this disc was recorded for Columbia Records between 1964 and 1970 for release on four different LP albums.

It gave me a new-found appreciation for Rachmaninoff's music. Etude Tableau, Op. 33, No. 2 in C Major is a wonderful display of his talent and power behind a piano, and Prelude, Op. 3, No. 2 in C-Sharp Minor is an amazing example of how he can tell such a detailed story with no words and 88 keys. I could not stop listening to it. Zenph is doing things I could ...              search for classical music adagios, baroque, bocelli, christmas, classic, classical, clavier, collection, debussy, essential, favorite, favorites, favourites, luciano, lullabies, masterpieces, myung-whun, pavarotti, performance, rachmaninoff, re-performance, relaxing, romance, soothing, spanish, special, tempered, universe, well-tempered, windham classical music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
