This DG/Decca/Philips Schumann bicentennial box collects most of it (with the notable exceptions of the opera "Genoveva" and the 1853 revision of the Third Piano Sonata) on 35 discs, at a bargain price -- one stop shopping for a slew of concert ...             UltraSound - Music for the Unborn Child30 reviews Claude Debussy, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... RCA, 1999 Great Music for you and baby! I think the music on here is very good. I love listening to it and my baby enjoys it as well. When I play it, she settles down and seems very attentive or sleep; I really can't tell the difference at this point. Hopefully this CD will have the same affect when she is born.             Beethoven's Wig: Sing Along Symphonies93 reviews Beethoven's Wig Rounder / Umgd, 2002 The entire family loves this CD From 4 years old to 40 years old, each of us enjoys Beethoven's Wig. 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 Most Relaxing Piano Album in the World...Ever!17 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, ... EMI Classics, 2001 Relaxing Music Suited For Today's Busy Lifestyles "A vast and tender calm Seems to descend from the sky Lit by the moon This is the exquisite hour" ~ Paul Verlaine ~ The above quote is taken from a poem by 19th Century Fench poet Paul Verlaine titled "La Bonne Chanson No. 6." His words fittingly describe the ambience of this classical album which promises unruffled musical moments just perfect for unwinding and relaxing, or when you're ...             The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe17 reviews Frederic Chopin, Claude Debussy, ... Denon Records, 2004 Lullabies for the young and young at heart Purchased the CD from Amazon.com when my daughter asked me to find some soothing music to help her first child relax and fall to sleep. They have and are still enjoying the CD very often.             Chopin Complete Edition11 reviews Various Artists Deutsche Grammophon, 2010 Wonderful edition This was a gift for my grandaughter she loves Chopin, was thrilled to have it             Gustav Mahler: Complete Edition1 review Various Artists Deutsche Grammophon, 2010 Great set, Great price I guess you could say this was a best buy for someone who was looking for a complete Mahler box set. Yes, it even has the piano quartet and the Drei Pintos(Weber) overture. All of these recordings have been issued before, but this is a pretty commendable collection. At under $4 a disc it is quite a good value. Some of the performances could be said to be "best choices"; Bernstein's Vienna 5th, ...             Romance of the Violin76 reviews Joshua Bell, Giacomo Puccini, ... Sony, 2003 Romance of the Violin This CD is wonderful, very relaxing. It came in excellent condition, and shipping was very fast.             The Magic Of Lang Lang15 reviews Lang Lang, Haydn, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2008 A New Kind of 'Cross-over' Probably so, since the compilation in this CD includes quite a number of Chinese tracks. Unlike the 'Dragon Songs' or other albums of LL, this is a hybrid compilation of Western piano music and Chinese works. LL excels in the Chinese tracks. Some of the tracks are a debut release (by LL, if not universally). LL's musical upbringing starts from Chinese folk music, not 'Tom and Jerry', ...             The World's Favorite Piano Music21 reviews Van Cliburn RCA, 1992 Classical Favorites From A True Virtuoso of Piano Van Cliburn is my Tchaikovsky, Liszt, Chopin, Debussy, Rachmaninoff, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann and Brahms all rolled into one virtuoso of piano. I've seen one of his live concerts and collected some of his remarkable recordings enough to truly attest that he can expressively play rich and varied masterpieces of the greatest and most brilliant, pianistic composers from Baroque to ...             Cello for Relaxation9 reviews Saint-Saëns, Bruch, ... RCA, 2001 A Fine Way To Relax Currently I'm enjoying this cello music while in the car, as it lessens the stress of traffic. It contains a variety of cello pieces that have beauty and grace. As a cellist I appreciate the supurb execution of each piece. This CD is everything I hoped it would be.             Pianist of the Century (Box)8 reviews Robert Schumann, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2009 one of many "pianists of the century" At the time these recordings were made for DGG Sviatoslav Richter was just emerging from his Soviet cocoon, having previously been isolated, for the most part, from western culture & influence. While Richter's art matured as he was exposed to musicians & musical ideas outside the iron curtain, his middle period, which these recordings capture, reflect an undiluted artistic personality that was ...             Best Piano 501 review Claude Debussy, George Gershwin, ... EMI Classics, 2010 Why I love this CD set... I am not a talented pianist, but I dabbled a bit as a kid (chopsticks, ode to joy, etc...) and have had a soft spot for piano music since then. This CD set (there are three disks) really hits the spot when I want something soothing and pretty. Also, it's great to have on in the background when you're doing work or messing about the apartment. It makes me feel classy, and I actually enjoy ...             25 Children's Favorites4 reviews Leon Jessel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Vox (Classical), 2000 A Wonderful Introduction to the Classics With total playing time clocking in at 78:04 minutes of music, you'll be paying about 6-cents/minute, which is a better bargain than long distance phone calls, and often more rewarding! This disc is far superior than most other "Classics for Kids"-type recordings I've sampled for a number of reasons: 1) This album was expertly engineered. The production quality on this disc is first-rate from ...             Classics for Kids4 reviews Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Leon Jessel, ... RCA, 1993 Great for Preschool Children I use this CD with my preschool music group. The kids love it! This CD enables children learn about classical music without over extending their attention spans.             Schumann: Op. Nos. 44 & 475 reviews Robert Schumann, Emerson String Quartet, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 Not just a great string quartet... The Emerson Quartet have shown that they are not only a great string quartet but can combine with an equally fine musician to produce an excellent recording of the Schumann Quintet and Piano Quartet. Their tempi are brisk but well thought out and their playing combines power and intensity with a quite outstanding lyricism and sense of the melodic line, particularly in the the slow movement of ...             Symphony (25) Favorites2 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Vox (Classical), 1997 A Grand symphonic adventure This album provides a quick exposure to some of the best movements in the best symphonies. Many of the tracks will sound familiar. They are played well and have good sound quality. As a novice musician, i have great appreciation for it.             Schumann: Piano Concerto in A Minor / Beethoven: Emperor Concerto4 reviews Ludwig von Beethoven, Robert Schumann, ... RCA, 2007 Superb It's getting difficult reviewing the Living Stereo SACD series, because I ran out of superlatives long ago. You simply can't go wrong with any of them. They are all masterpiece recordings, cherry-picked and beautifully, lovingly restored. The sonics are simply the best that current technology can achieve. Every time I listen to one of the Living Stereo SACD's, I feel like I have stepped ...             The Collection 2: The Concerto Recordings4 reviews Sergey Prokofiev, Maurice Ravel, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2009 Essential Argerich recordings, despite the duplications Imitating the format of DG's earlier collection of Argerich's complete solo albums, here in crhonological order from 1967 to 2004 we get her concerto recordings. All are self-recommending to her legion of fans and highly recommended by critics, which poses a problem for many collectors. I already own all but a handful, so even DG's bargain price isn't all that tempting. The duplications consist ...             Schumann: The 4 Symphonies25 reviews Robert Schumann, Leonard Bernstein, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1997 Schumann for poets There is more in Bernstein's performances of Schumann's concerti than one could ever expect, given the myriad recordings of these remarkable works from a master of the ethos of the Romantic era. Bernstein's recordings are romantic, emotional, nuanced, precise, and really in the groove. In the LP era, I had recordings of these works by Bernstein that I loved. These are even better.
