popular music: George Frideric Handel ...     popular music:       A Festival of Carols in Brass37 reviews Adolphe Adam, Anonymous, ... Sony, 1991 The performers Strongly agree with Timothy Kearney. Great ensemble...and it should be. There is no mention of who made up the Philadelphia Brass Ensemble. Abe Torchinsky, the late tubaist for the Philadelphia Orchestra, had told me the Ormandy would not let them be mentioned by name by name or that they were members of the orchestra. Ormandy had clout with Columbia records, thus got his way. Times have ...             Handel - Messiah - Mormon Tabernacle39 reviews George Frideric Handel, Eugene Ormandy, ... Sony, 1991 I feel it Let's face it, many people have written about the technicality of this cd. Like many I heard this rendition when it first came out..I loved it. Then I got busy with life and the record got lost or broken and I didn't think much about it. Recently I have hungered for this recording and was pleased to find it available. However, reading some of the reviews I became curious as to whether there ...             The Most Relaxing Classical Music in the Universe24 reviews Johann Pachelbel, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Denon Records, 2003 Very good! I was impressed from the selection of the songs in the album. I advise everybody who are willing to relax by listenning these masterpieces. (Shut off the lights while listenning)             Andrea Bocelli: Sacred Arias133 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!             Handel - Messiah / Ameling · A. Reynolds · Langridge · Howell · Marriner24 reviews George Frideric Handel, Neville Marriner, ... Decca, 1995 Tears of joy ...are what you will gain from hearing this masterpiece. Feel Jesus in your life and moments. Run to Him! Not from Him. Join generations of people blessed to belong to and celebrate The Good Lord. Do you not want eternal life? Do you want a good, clean life where trouble cannot really get at you anymore? Give your "everything" over to Jesus while you still can. Get, and keep your life ...             The Time-Life Treasury of Christmas36 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 ...             Messiah (George Frederick Handel) London Philharmonic Orchestra36 reviews Handel, London Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra, ... Sparrow, 2002 The best This is the best recording of the Messiah that I have heard, and I have heard quite a few. The diction is so good that you understand each word. Even the choir can be understood. The soloists are not famous singers, and the humility of their performances as well as the technical skill is a pleasure to hear. The piece itself was written to showcase the Word of God and also to display vocal range. ...             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             Music of Christmas42 reviews Percy Faith and His Orchestra, Adolphe Adam, ... Sony, 1990 I feel like I have just found the Holy Grail Growing up, my parents didn't have a lot of money so our Christmas music was recorded live from the radio onto a Wallensack Reel-to-Reel tape. The collection of music came to become our "Holiday Soundtrack". It was schmalzty and amateurish sounding because my dad would cut off in the middle of one song and in the middle of another... Some of the sound quality was really poor but by gosh we ...             Joy to the World6 reviews Mormon Tabernacle Choir Sony, 2002 Review of Joy to the World This CD wsd received in a short time and I really appreciated that so I could share it with my church choir. The quality is excellent.             The Christmas Album11 reviews The Canadian Brass, Franz Xaver Gruber, ... Philips, 1990 The Best of The Best Just be sure to buy this version (18 tracks) rather than what appears to be a very pared-down later issue (same cover, only about half a dozen tracks). This is by far the best holiday album I have ever heard. I am a double-reed player and I must take issue with the complaints about intonation and musicianship by the one negative reviewer on this page. The song selection, mix of secular and ...             Sarah Brightman Classics152 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". ...             Christmas with Mario Lanza27 reviews Adolphe Adam, Nicholas Brodszky, ... RCA, 1990 Mario Lanza Christmas Music My old cassette tape of Mario Lanza singing Christmas music dragged badly and could no longer be played. What a treat it is to hear his beautiful voice again on a new CD!             Classical Christmas4 reviews Lumiere String Quartet, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Lumiere Records, 2006 An Honest Review I loved this CD!!! I used all but 5 songs from it for the prelude music for my December 23rd wedding! The quality of musicians and recording is incredible! I would without hesitation encourage all who are looking for an instrumental Christmas CD - to purchase THIS ONE - you will not be disappointed!             Art of Segovia16 reviews Andres Segovia Deutsche Grammophon, 2002 What can anyone say about Segovia ........ ......... that hasn't already been said a million times over? He's the best that ever was.             The Joy of Christmas26 reviews John Francis Wade, Anonymous, ... Sony, 1997 An American reading of Christmas that unlocks the flavor. This CD features a gay, Jewish, conductor from liberal Massachusetts and a choir full of Mormons from conservative Utah, and matches them up with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra. Let us meditate on the words: "New York": melting pot of the USA and of the world. Of course, this CD will explode into the most exuberant, festive, electric, over-the top, Christmas record to come out of the genre ...             Handel - Messiah / Clift · Robbin · Fowler · Ledbetter · Boston Baroque, Pearlman20 reviews Bruce Fowler, George Frideric Handel, ... Telarc, 1992 Careful with the MP3 ! I haven't heard this performance. I've just ordered it because of the positive ratings and recommendations it's gotten. BUT... I wanted to grab a little preview from the MP3 samples, and what do I find but another amazon snafu. The MP3 takes you directly to the CD of the Robert Shaw Chorale, hardly likely to be of comparable merit.             The Glorious Sound of Christmas25 reviews Adolphe Adam, Ludwig van Beethoven, ... Sony, 1991 Both great instrumentals and vocals This was another album we always listened to when I was a child. It's kind of Mormon Tabernacleish sounding, with all the religious songs of the holidays right there. Not a secular one in the batch. But for that lush Sixties Christmas sound, with loads of strings and smoothness (can you say Muzak) it cannot be beat. I like to turn it up loud and sing along--then put on the Billboard Christmas ...             Christmas Extraordinaire98 reviews Mannheim Steamroller, George Frideric Handel, ... American Gramaphone, 2001 Christmas Extraordinaire Product in excellent shape and was shipped faster than I had expected. Great service!             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 surrounds you with warmth and Christmas spirit. There is no other Christmas CD to compare with this except, of course, Handel's Messiah.              search for popular music ameling, baroque, bocelli, brightman, christmas, classical, classics, eugene, extraordinaire, favorites, festival, frederick, glorious, langridge, ledbetter, marriner, messiah, orchestra, ormandy, pearlman, philadelphia, philharmonic, relaxing, reynolds, robbin, segovia, tabernacle, time-life, treasury, universe popular music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
