classical music: sinfonias     classical music:       The Mozart Effect Music for Children, Volume 1: Tune Up Your Mind5 reviews Various Children's Group, 1997 My children enjoy it... I am a music teach for young children and I don't believe simply listening to music will make children smarter. However, this is wonderful music that relaxes my children and seems to help them concentrate. If they can concentrate better, they probably will learn better in the end.             Mozart: Violin Concertos28 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Raymond Leppard, ... Philips, 1993 So many more than five stars. This album is absolutely flooring. THIS is Mozart. Grumiaux's playing is neither cutesy and fanciful nor forced, as so many renditions of these concertos are. In fact, it falls nowhere on that spectrum at all - these recordings draw from someplace different altogether. They are organic but not harsh, intense but not overwrought, powerful but not bombastic. This music is the kind that reaches ...             Bach for Breakfast: The Leisurely Way to Start Your Day14 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, ... Philips, 1995 Coffee ? Eggs ? Bacon ? Bach ? This recording is a delightful morning brew of Bach's most beautiful and atmospheric instrumental music, even making use of an instrument that most music scholars forget he even wrote music for - the harp, as in the SLonatas for Flute, Harp and Cello, which on this recording, sound positively radiant coming from the likes of Sir Neville Marriner's Academy of St Martin In The Fields or the English ...             Be Thou My Vision7 reviews John Rutter, City of London Sinfonia, ... Collegium, 2004 A Listening Treat What a delight to listen to this collection of pure Rutter ! The melodic sounds of the Cambridge Singers bring me such pleasure The sheer joyfulness of this music is to me a religious experience of such depth It is superb and will lift ones spirits instantly. highly recommended to all lovers of the English contemporary choral sound and scene,____ not to be missed             25 Vivaldi Favorites11 reviews Antonio Vivaldi, Nicolas Chedeville, ... Vox (Classical), 1999 superb Can you believe the price on this? This is probably the best Vivaldi collection for the price available. The sound quality is superb.             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. Fortunately I have friends that would appreciate it so it will make a wonderful gift.             Bach: Greatest Hits10 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Christian Pezold, ... Sony, 1994 Teeming with classics I purchased this for track #10, which I'd happened to hear on the radio...it stayed in my head until I tracked down the CD. I have a relatively basic working knowledge of classical music, so this long playing collection was an excellent and surprising introduction to several of Bach's diverse works...both well known and more obscure. Certainly a worthwhile addition to your classical collection.             Lauridsen: Lux Aeterna, etc. / Salamunovich, Los Angeles Master Chorale87 reviews M. Lauridsen Rubedo Canis Musica, 1998 OMG! Just received this Requiem from Amazon-Oh My God! A truly brilliant deeply moving masterpiece....it scours and penetrates your soul! This "Brahams/Rutter" Style masterpiece literally brought me to tears. I repeat...deeply moving, as it still resonates with me months after I first heard it. The perfect pitch Choir has personified a god-like perfection in this world premiere recording and is offset ...             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.             Bach: The Two and Three Part Inventions (Glen Gould Anniversary Edition)6 reviews Glenn Gould, Bach Sony, 2002 benchmark for the initiated I first heard the Bach Inventions/Sinfonias in a performance by Andras Schiff, which is a terrific album in its own way, should you happen upon it. But nothing could have prepared me for the shock that the Gould performance is. Yet time and repeated listening has made this my own personal favorite performance, as it is one of the most original musical utterances anyone could find anywhere. For ...             Faure: Requiem and other choral music11 reviews Gabriel Faure, John Rutter, ... Collegium, 2000 Beautifully Haunting After hearing this piece of work on two different occasions on the same day, I felt that I needed to have it. All the choices always make it difficult to choose, so I ended up buying this version. I am utterly amazed with this beautiful piece of music, by its the performers and just the cd in general.             Perpetual Motion49 reviews Bela Fleck, Edgar Meyer, ... Sony, 2001 wow This is amazing. Well-chosen classical music, beautifully played on, of all things, a banjo. Only Bela Fleck could carry that off! I love this album!!             Wynton Marsalis - Baroque Music for Trumpet4 reviews Johann Friedrich Fasch, George Frederick Handel, ... Sony, 1990 Amazing talent Without doubt, the birthday ode to Queen Anne (Eternal Source of Light Divine) is one of the loveliest pieces ever. Couple that with two of the most accomplished talents in the world, you have a near spiritual moment. Even those with even a passing interest in the classics will find this a stirring expierence. this is true candy for the ear and food for the soul.             Vivaldi: Bassoon Concertos Vol.15 reviews Tamás Benkócs, Antonio Vivaldi, ... Naxos, 2004 The First of a Series of All of Vivaldi's Bassoon Concerti I don't think I've ever heard a bad recording of a Vivaldi bassoon concerto. That may say more about me than about the recordings, but I don't think so. There is something about these concerti that attracts good players and, let's face it, these are not the most profound compositions ever written; they tend to be virtuosic for the soloist and have fairly simple orchestral accompaniments. They ...             Bach at Bedtime: Lullabies for the Still of the Night12 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Karl Mnchinger, ... Philips, 1995 Mellow, Sleepy, Wonderful I bought this CD for myself, a 60 year old. I have trouble sleeping and have been buying CDs by this company. They are all wonderful. I'm asleep in about 15 minutes!             Rossini: Complete Overtures7 reviews Gioachino Rossini, Neville Marriner, ... Umvd Labels, 2003 If You Seek This Many Rossini Overtures This Set Does an Excellent Job One French wit in the early part of the nineteenth century observed that he had more fun at a Rossini opera than in the bedroom, and Rossini's irresistable melodies, infectious gaiety, and wild zany sense of humor, all coupled with the dizzy acceleration of the famous Rossini crescendo makes this music as captivating and exciting today as it was two centuries ago when ladies intoxicated by the ...             Requiem & Magnificat/Rutter, Cambridge Singers33 reviews John Rutter, Cambridge Singers, ... Collegium, 2000 Why I Like Tthis CD This is an excellent CD. I had an ulterior motive for ordering it, however. I sing in a local Choral Society and we are performing it this coming weekend. I wanted the CD to follow along at home and get my part down a little better. I do very much enjoy John Rutter's music and the Cambridge Singers are very good.             Hallelujah: 35 Great Choruses3 reviews Antonio Vivaldi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Sparrow, 2004 lovely works... Excellent selections... my favorite is the Sanctus by Gounod. The music seems to build in the blood... the organ being the heartbeat. If you turn the volume up just right... a memorable experience. Beautiful!             John Rutter Collection14 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.             Antonio Vivaldi: Late Violin Concertos (RV177 / RV222 / RV273 / RV295 / RV375 / RV191) - Giuliano Carmignola ...25 reviews Antonio Vivaldi, Andrea Marcon, ... Sony, 2001 Dazzlingly beautiful; rip roaring; transcendent Clearly Giuliano Carmignola doesn't need a review from me on this masterly and gorgeous performance. But I have to weigh in here and say this album is nothing short of glorious. These are, of course, concerti by Vivaldi that I've never heard before and that adds to the immense pleasure of experiencing this album. I've now ordered every cd with the name Giuliano Carmignola on it.
