classical music: symphonic     classical music:       Mozart Edition: Complete Works (170 CD Box Set)102 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Bruce Abel, ... Brilliant Classics, 2005 Fine performances Some collections of this type -- a composer's complete works -- are pieced together from here and there, old sources and new, and the resulting collection can be uneven. This set brings together many complete cycles of Mozart's works from individual artists and groups. For example, the fine Hungarian pianist Klárá Würtz performs all the sonatas here in recordings originally issued as a ...             25 Bach Favorites12 reviews Hildegard Rutgers, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... 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 ...             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. Playing this music seems to relax my son and puts him to sleep. It even puts my husband to sleep...             25 Beethoven Favorites13 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Anton Nanut, ... 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.             Tudor City1 review New York Polyphony Avie, 2010 Absolutely beautiful , calming CD Only in my possession a few days, I've already found myself listening to this CD several times. It's a lovely sound, relaxing for the soul and lovely for the ears. Beautiful!             The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe26 reviews Johann Pachelbel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Denon Records, 2003 Most Relaxing Classical Music in Universe Purchased one in a local store and a second online for a co-worker as a b-day gift. Beautiful muscic in this cd.             Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone93 reviews Ennio Morricone, Ennio / Tommasi, Amedeo Morricone, ... Sony, 2004 Yo Yo Ma Plays Morricone This is my most favorite CD. I loved the movie, "The Mission" and especially Gabriel's Oboe! I just wish it was longer. The whole CD is wonderful. Such feeling!             Beethoven: Symphonies 5 & 7147 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Carlos Kleiber, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 Amazingly good I was skeptical that this recording would be significantly better than the existing one I had (Bruno Walter, which is pretty good!), but wow. There is a lot of energy in this recording. I found myself stopping my work and just listening to it.             Rimsky-Korsakov: Scheherazade; Stravinsky: Song of the Nightingale [Hybrid SACD]16 reviews Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Igor Stravinsky, ... RCA, 2005 Historic -- the best Scheherazade ever! Details follow... Scheherazade is performed a LOT. Fritz Reiner was well-aware of this fact in 1960 when he conceived this historic recording. As a consequence, he fostered no desire to yield just another run-of-the-mill performance. Here's a blurp from the notes which explains his subsequent efforts more fully: "Some weeks before the actual recording was made, most of the existing recordings of the music were ...             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. Now, you can buy them all at once and dirt cheap! very nice             Stars And Stripes Forever & The Greatest Marches7 reviews Giuseppe Verdi, Victor Herbert, ... RCA, 1991 My kids love this music Put this music in and you can have your kids marching around the house in no time...what a blast!             At the Movies20 reviews Andre Rieu Denon Records, 2004 Movie Themes with a Classical Twist What's not to like about a good song from a good movie? All the classic movie themes (i.e., Titanic, Zorba the Greek, etc.) are here but played by a full orchestra. I considered this approach to modern music a true and distinct pleasure and a nice break from the classical music that Andre Rieu's orchestra normally presents. The music is uplifting and makes you want to break out in song or get ...             Schumann: The Masterworks (Dlx)2 reviews Various Artists Deutsche Grammophon, 2010 DG's Schumann Bicentennial Box Apart from a zillion recordings of Carnaval and the Piano Concerto, it isn't easy to find most of Schumann's music on disc, especially the vocal works. 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 ...             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.             Music of America: John Williams1 review Various Artists SONY MASTERWORKS, 2010 Best Williams Collection! I am a HUGE Williams fan, and as soon as this was released I had it. The best thing about this collection is that they are actually conducted by the man himself and performed by the great orchestras of the world, instead of those other so called "Fly by night" collections that have less than adequate orchestras playing horrible renditions of his works. Also another great thing is that this set ...             I Medici1 review Leoncavallo, Domingo, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2010 Rare Verismo Remarkable performance by Domingo at, I think, around 70 years of age. Excellently recorded. The soprano is quite strained but the overall production is a great achievment in plugging one of the many vacant holes in recordings of operas of this period. You can also get a German/Italian piano vocal score on line. When do we get a full recording of Mascagni's Parisina and a more competent ...             Bernstein Favorites: Children's Classics17 reviews Sergey Prokofiev, Camille Saint-Saens, ... Sony, 1991 Bernstein Favorites review - great! My children and I really enjoy this CD. It has lots of useful information about instruments of the orchestra. The children love the Peter and the Wolf story the most, but the individual instruments section is very interesting for them (and adults) as well!             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. ...             Prokofiev: Peter & the Wolf10 reviews Sergey Prokofiev, Mario Rossi, ... Musical Concepts, 2006 Great item. You just can't go wrong with Prokofiev: Peter and the Wolf. Your kids will love you for it! Excellent seller and very fast shipment! thank you!!!!             Beethoven: Les 9 Symphonies [Box Set]18 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Andr Cluytens, ... EMI Classics France, 2006 The Best Beethoven Cycle? I would give it 10 stars. This set includes one of the best Seventh I have ever heard. Ninth is as cosmic and transcendental as legendary recordings of Furtwangler. A must-have for everyone who appreciates a pinnacle of Western civilization: Beethoven's nine symphonies.
