classical music: requiem     classical music:       Essential Mozart: 32 Of His Greatest Masterpieces23 reviews Fritz Dolezal, Franklin Cohen, ... 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. Now, you can buy them all at once and dirt cheap! very nice             We Three Kings16 reviews Anthony Kearns, Ronan Tynan, ... Razor & Tie, 2003 An Irish Tenors Christmas It's the Irish Tenors, what more do you need to know? It is definitely worth the money. This is a good collection of songs. I am glad they didn't waste their talents on songs like "Frosty the Snowman". Some one complained about a few non-Christmas songs. Frankly with all the "hate America" out there I am glad the Irish Tenors are different. Good job guys! As for the Southerner who disliked the ...             Andrea Bocelli - Sacred Arias / Myung-Whun Chung133 reviews George Frideric Handel, Giulio Caccini, ... 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!             Sarah Brightman Classics151 reviews Sarah Brightman, Tomaso Giovanni Albinoni, ... Angel Records, 2001 Soprano Sarah Soars What a rare treat to hear such a wonderful voice! The music transcends the various languages( Latin, Italian, French, Spanish and almost no English) and communicates directly, beyond intellect, deeper to sooth the soul. This we expect from Opera and Religious selections such as Pucinni's "Nessun Dorma" and Lloyd Webber's "Piu Jesu". A favorite is the solo rendition of "Time To Say Good-bye". ...             Prayer: A Windham Hill Collection8 reviews Michael Manring, Philip Baker, ... RCA, 2003 Reading-Meditating-Serenity: Prayer: A Windham Hill Collection: A Critical Review After I read some of the reviews about this disc, I can calmly say that the reviews before mine are absolutely correct: this is a phenomenal disc. This is one of those rare finds that is difficult not to shout from the rooftops about how great a c.d. this is. But, it is. Prayer: A Windham Hill Collection is 12-track c.d. of light, instrumental music: there are no vocals. Piano, flute, ...             The Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World...Ever!90 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Léo Delibes, ... Angel Records, 1999 Amazing and PERFECT for those who don't know classical music! I don't know a lot about classical music, but I wanted a CD that would be relaxing and would highlight some of the more well known classical songs. Browsing on Amazon, I came across this CD and previewed the songs and loved it! Since it arrived in the mail, it is all I listen to! It is so very relaxing. I tend to have a little road rage at times, so I play it in the car and feel very relaxed. It ...             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.             Pavarotti's Greatest Hits21 reviews Luciano Pavarotti Decca, 2007 Bravo! I cannot stop listening to this cd, especially the aria Che Gelida Manina...like manna from the heaven's.             Ultimate Classical Christmas Album of All Time4 reviews Ultimate Classical Christmas Record of All Time Sony, 2002 Breathtakingly beautiful! Over and over we played "Die Menge der Engel" - - it is stunningly beautiful! The loftiness of the voices, wonderful. We loved the boys/children's choruses on many of the other pieces on the album. Duets by Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavorati - - magnifico! It is a pleasant compilation of traditional favorites and awesome classical pieces that are worth listening to again and again.             25 Mozart Favorites21 reviews John Sant'Ambrogio, George Silfies, ... 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. Fortunately I have friends that would appreciate it so it will make a wonderful gift.             Prelude: The Best of Charlotte Church125 reviews Charlotte Church Sony, 2002 Incredible! I couldn't believe reading all the negative reviews about this album that I had to say something. I was first introduced by a friend and I was hypotized by her beautiful voice. About the songs in this album, they are simply incredible. Nice to put on when you're in the mood for some good music like house cleaning, etc. By the way, did I mention this album comes with a CD and DVD. I ...             The Very Best of Andrew Lloyd Webber: The Broadway Collection31 reviews Andrew Lloyd Webber, Murray Head, ... Decca Broadway, 1996 Best of Andrew Lloyd Weber I first heard this CD while driving my daughter-in-law's car on vacation. She's a great fan. I had been looking for one of the tracks for a few years but didn't even know which Show it had been from. There it was, suddenly ringing in my ears! I was enraptured. The entire CD is a wonderful thing to listen to and my very young granddaughters especially love the Cats song "Mr. ...             Mozart - Requiem / Augér, Bartoli, Cole, Pape, Wiener Phil., Solti22 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Georg Solti, ... Decca, 1992 Better than Bernstein Good buy. This Requiem version is wonderful and uplifting. Bought Leonard Bernstein's version some years ago. It moves so slowly and seems full of unrelenting angst--sounds more like Wagner than Mozart. If you like the music of Mozart's Requiem, this version is much more friendly.             The Andrew Lloyd Webber Collection99 reviews Andrew Lloyd Webber, David Caddick, ... Decca Broadway, 1999 More Sarah Magic I'm a Sarah Brightman fan and looked forward to her interpretations of Andrew Lloyd Webber's music. It's a great album, ranging from the ethereal "Piu Jesu" to the gritty "Don't Cry For Me" and Sir John Gielgud's spoken lyrics. As I listen to her duet with Jose Carreras, I find myself wondering why she never collaborated with Placido Domingo.             The Pavarotti Story: The Ultimate Tribute2 reviews Alan Opie, Richard Kerns, ... Decca Records, 2008 A superb "Pavarotti Starter Kit"! I don't consider myself an big opera fan, but I am a Pavarotti fan, and for someone who fits that description and is looking for a "Pavarotti Starter Kit", this CD set is superb. The music is great and the interview CD is interesting and revealing.             John Rutter Collection11 reviews Rutter, Cambridge Singers, ... Decca, 2002 John Rutter Collection Absolutely beautiful selections performed perfectly!! I play it almost daily and repeatedly. I am familiar with several pieces from a performance perspective and enjoy the entire collection immensely.             #1 Christmas Album4 reviews Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, ... Decca, 2001 Touch of angle, touch of heart If you enjoy opera or choir, this is a must collection. The Choir of King's College probably knows the secret how to make the listener flying among thousands of Christmas candles. Pavarotti's opening is so mighty that remind people, this year, to be courageous and to believe (not limited from religious sense but the humanity perspective.) And his Mill Cherubini and Panis Angelicus can vibrate ...             The Most Relaxing Classical Album In the World Ever, Volume II12 reviews Yehudi Menuhin, Jacqueline Du Pre, ... EMI Classics, 2003 Most Relaxing Classical Music. II Beautifully done, arranged, and selected. All are very good performances, and there are many lesser known but wonderful pieces such as the movement from Shostakovich's second piano concerto.             Sacred Arias8 reviews Samuel Barber, Leonard Cohen, ... Decca, 2008 Katherine Jenkins Sings Heavenly On Sacred Music Collection "Sacred Arias" by Katherine Jenkins gives the Welsh classical diva a chance to perform a collection of sacred music. The choice of songs is eclestic and quite good. One can find Samuel Barber, American spirituals, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Leonard Cohen. And because Ms. Jenkins is a superb singer with great range and talent, she pulls every song off effortlessly. This is a noteworthy ...             The Ultimate Relaxation Christmas Album 22 reviews English Anonymous, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Decca, 2005 Great The music was just as the title stated relaxing. The songs were not just a recording of an existing song.              search for classical music andrew, bartoli, bocelli, brightman, broadway, charlotte, christmas, church, classical, classics, collection, deluxe, edition, essential, favorites, greatest, luciano, masterpieces, myung-whun, pavarotti, prelude, relaxation, relaxing, requiem, sacred, special, tribute, ultimate, webber, windham classical music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
