classical music: symphony     classical music:       25 Classical Favorites22 reviews Frank Morelli, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Vox (Classical), 1996 great gift Bought this product for my grandchild to introduce him to classical music. It was perfect. Thanks             What If Mozart Wrote "White Christmas"4 reviews Northern Lights Orchestra, Ross Bagdasarian, ... Perfect Sound, 2009 A must have Christmas record I have owned and loved the String Quartet recordings for many years and think that this recording blows the quartet stuff out of the water. I've bought copies for stocking stuffers this year. This sounds like this is the way it was meant to be. It's so grand and glorious. This is a must have record. Going to play it during Christmas Dinner.             Joy to the World5 reviews Mormon Tabernacle Choir Sony, 2002 A Timeless Christmas Classic I'm a lover of traditional Christmas music and I've acquired about 20 CDs of it. There's nothing my family likes better in December than putting on some good Christmas music and getting in the mood for the season, hearing once again the old favorites you've known since childhood. Of all the Christmas music CDs I've tried, I have two desert-island favorites, the two I always reach for first. ...             Brahms: Complete Symphonies10 reviews Johannes Brahms, Simon Rattle, ... EMI Classics, 2009 Rattle's Brahms First reveals sublime beauty I've just come from hearing Rattle conducting the Berlin Philharmonic live in the First Symphony of Brahms, so while I haven't yet heard this recording I think it's fair to assume the interpretation on disc will be close to what the audience listened to tonight. It was sublime. Those who commented that Rattle does not unleash a Karajan tidal wave of sound are correct, but it was not missed. ...             Melody of Rhythm: Triple Concerto & Music for Trio7 reviews Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer, ... Koch Records, 2009 No Mere Stylistic Mash-up Last Sunday the Honolulu Orchestra presented their only new-music offering of the season: a live version of the work before you, Edgar Meyer's The Melody of Rhythm. This triple concerto for banjo, bass, and tabla was first recorded by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and I absolutely can't recommend it highly enough. Performers Béla Fleck, Edgar Meyer, and Zakir Hussain are simply amazing ...             The Three Tenors Christmas30 reviews Adolphe Adam, Fermin Maria Alvarez, ... Sony, 2000 Excellent, as you'd expect from opera's finest tenors Jose Carreras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti teamed up to create this masterpiece. At least, that's how I describe this Christmas album, which clearly appeals to far more people than just the hardcore opera fans. Whether those fans enjoy this music, I cannot say. I'm one of those people who likes to dabble in opera occasionally but mainly listens to other types of music. With the three ...             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.             A Winter Symphony94 reviews Sarah Brightman Manhattan Records, 2008 A LIGHT BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS ALBUM Most of the songs ARE traditional christmas songs. There are even two up-beat Santa songs. A few of the songs are more contemporary and could be on any album (such as "colder than winter" and "I've been this way before"). Sarah has created a christmas album that is NOT suffocating with 100% of serious traditonal Christmas music. It has a nice variety. She tried to please everybody here! ...             Amore Infinito: Songs inspired by the Poetry of John Paul II (Karol Wojtyla)26 reviews Placido Domingo, Josh Groban, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 2009 Songs Inspired By the Poetry of John Paul II This CD is excellent and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys classical music. All the voices are superb and the London Philharmonic Orchestra is unsurpassed. Only two of the poems have an English translation and are sung in English. The others are either Italian or Spanish. My only wish is that the included brochure had English translations of the other poetry that is not sung in English.             The Time-Life Treasury of Christmas34 reviews Adolphe Adam, Robert Allen, ... Time Life Records, 2001 Another wonderful Time Life Christmas treasure trove As with the first Christmas CD that I reviewed, which technically goes hand in hand with this particular Christmas CD (originally they were sold as a set), I must say that this one is just as amazing as the other one. As I said, these are the original songs by the original artists and the sounds are top notch. Burl Ives was a local son from my hometown area and many of us will remember him as ...             Bernstein: Mass15 reviews Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, Marin Alsop, ... NAXOS AMERICAN, 2009 Gift I preordered it as a gift for someone who loves Bernstein's Mass as far as when Bernstein himself did it. What little I've been blessed to hear was, well, a blessing. Good stuff played with heart, skill homed over a lifetime, and passionate love of the music. Is it different from the only other one I have heard? Yes. Also sound quality is stunning just by itself. Buy it.             Baby Einstein: Baby Mozart26 reviews Buena Vista, 2002 Carleigh's CD I bought this cd for my 9 month old baby to play in the car until we can get a dvd player. She loves her Baby Einstein dvd's so I was hoping that this would help soothe her car ride. She would get very agitated about having to be restrained while in the car. But when we got the cd and played it for her while we were in the car it was like magic. She did keep looking for her movie but overall ...             Luciano Pavarotti: The Best (Farewell Tour)39 reviews Eric Garrett, Rolando Panerai, ... Decca, 2005 Wonderful album from the best tenor of all time! A wonderful compilation from the best tenor of all times! Includes some of his best and outstanding songs! We will always miss him; but, his voice lives on in his music! Great album!             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.             Beethoven's Wig: Sing Along Symphonies90 reviews Beethoven's Wig Rounder / Umgd, 2002 "Mommy, Mommy, it's Tchaikovsky . . ." This is a fantastic CD on so many levels -- Perlmutter has added witty, silly, yet often educational lyrics to some of the most recognizeable melodies in classical music. Most of the lyrics include some information about the composer, so that anyone who listens a few times will at least learn the composer's name, perhaps the popular name of the melody, and a few other facts. For example, ...             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.             Christmas Adagios12 reviews Gerald Finley, Adolphe Adam, ... 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!!             The Essential Yo-Yo Ma22 reviews Edgar Meyer, Hector Console, ... Sony, 2005 Great CD The CD was delivered in a timely manner. The condition of the entire package, including the sound quality were all as promised.             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. This 2 disc set more than met my expectations.             Joy to the World - Eugene Ormandy, Philadelphia Orchestra13 reviews Leroy Anderson, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... RCA, 1990 THIS is Christmas music!!!!! This is an outstanding CD!! I was looking for a good Christmas CD, found this, and now have a great Christmas CD! The performances both from the philadelphia orchestra and the philadelphia chorus is spectacular! The music just surroundes you with warmth and christmas spirit. There is no other Christmas CD to compare with this except, of course, Handel's Messiah.              search for classical music adagios, beethoven, bernstein, christmas, classical, complete, concerto, edition, einstein, essential, farewell, favorites, infinito, inspired, luciano, masterpieces, melody, mozart, orchestra, ormandy, pavarotti, philadelphia, rhythm, special, symphonies, symphony, time-life, treasury, ultimate, wojtyla classical music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
