He's the best that ever was.             The Best of the Three Tenors16 reviews Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, ... Decca, 2002 The Ultimate in the Classical Voice Performance The Best of the Three Tenors is a celebration of our greatest legends in Classical Music. Very little is available for classical music lovers today, so this is a must for your music library. Unless children and teens hear the classically trained voice when they are young, they will not develop the concept of music appreciation at its best. They are bombarded with screamers and contemporary ear ...             Classic Williams: Romance of the Guitar20 reviews Anonymous, Gabriel Faure, ... Sony, 2000 The Aranjuez Adagio is Perfection The second movement adagio of the Aranjuez concert is one of my favourite pieces, a very difficult one to get right. I've listened to well over a dozen variations, the one on this CD, track 19, is an absolute gem. Just by itself is reason enough to own this CD. The only other Aranjuez performance that's even worth mentioning in the same breath is Julian Bream's, track 2 of the CD titled just ...             Festival Express106 reviews Janis Joplin, The Grateful Dead New Line Home Video, 2004 Peace Train This documentary is one of the best of its kind. It seemlessly works in great quality concert footage with an amazing story line of the Festival Express in the glory of 1970. This is really something you won't get in most music documentaries; actual close up footage of Jerry, Bob, Janis, and Rick Danko of the Band all jammin' together on a train through Canada. The train footage is what did it ...             Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces26 reviews Essential Guitar: 34 Gtr Masterpieces Decca, 2002 A Great Deal I have been enjoying this recording immensely. It has 33 well-known pieces played by well-known artists. The music is wonderful background for "quiet time" activities. For the price, this recording is an absolute bargain, and it makes a great gift.             Jacqueline du Pré - a lasting inspiration12 reviews Antonin Dvorak, Franz Joseph Haydn, ... EMI Classics, 1999 99% perspiration (4.5/5 stars) This is a two-disc collection of musical works, in which the great cellist Jacqueline du Pre plays. The first disc consists of three cello concerti by three different composers: Dvorak (Romantic), Haydn (Classical) and Elgar (Romantic). Very good music, though it might leave you wondering what all the fuss is about. Not to worry: just pop in Disc Two to find out. The second disc ...             In The Heights (Original Broadway Cast Recording)49 reviews Lin-Manuel Miranda Ghostlight, 2008 A diverse and inclusive Broadway In the Heights offers outstanding performances within a plot that allows an honest representation of one of New York's diverse faces: the latinos. Lin-Manuel Miranda has managed to bring to life the day-to-day reality of individuals that do come to the States pursuing the American Dream. It is easy to observe the invisible, but always-present ties, to their own cultures. Hats off to the ...             Daft Punk - Interstella 5555113 reviews Romanthony Virgin Records Us, 2003 Awesome Sauce A great listen. A great watch. Put it on to work, read, cook, anything really. You get the great great tracks of Discovery to hear, and if you want to devote your eyes to the screen, there's a great story involved too. No dialogue, no script. Just pure Daft Punk goodness.             Spanish Guitar Music11 reviews Isaac Albeniz, Gaspar Sanz, ... Sony, 2002 pleasant, soothing, beatuiful Gorgeous playing, excellent song selection... I listen to this while reading, or painting - it's great music for shutting down a "noisy" brain - very relaxing. Good quality sound, too. Lovely on rainy days, in winter with candles burning ... really adds to a contemplative (but not somber) ambience.             The Ultimate Guitar Collection7 reviews Isaac Albeniz, Italian Anonymous, ... Sony, 2005 The Best Compilation of the Man on 2 Discs! Great Sound Quality Too! The title very aptly describes this great classical guitar album showcasing some of the best ever works of John Williams on 2 discs. The track selections are great as they span the centuries from the Baroque greats of Bach and Vivaldi to the modern day composers such as Stanley Myers and York. John even flirts with Blues and Jazz-style pieces and they actually sound very good. In addition, ...             Mambo Sinuendo64 reviews Ry Cooder, Manuel Galban Nonesuch, 2003 I am hopelessly addicted to this album No "Manteca" here, but I am hopelessly addicted to this album anyway. If you listen to Cuban music you will probably hear a lot of versions of "Drume Negrita" (which I think is really "Dru me Negrita") but the heavy metal here is very hypnotic.             Spain [Hybrid SACD]3 reviews Manuel de Falla, Isaac Albeniz, ... RCA, 2007 Vintage Reiner in outstanding sound While the accompanying re-release of Richard Strauss' "Don Quixote" and "Don Juan" with the same forces sadly betrays its age, this CD remains one of the true classic Fritz Reiner discs, sounding as fresh as if it was recorded last week. Fritz Reiner's account of De Falla's ballet "El amor brujo" with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Leontyne Price remains one of the finest ever put on disc. ...             300 Years of Guitar Masterpieces16 reviews Johann Sebastian Bach, Isaac Albeniz, ... Vox (Classical), 1992 Essential recordings Not much else really to say about this. It is a collection of brilliant interpretations and the guitar has the most amazing sound I've ever heard on a recording. You will find yourself almost spiritually bound to share this recording with any classical guitar playing friends and aficionados.             Violin Adagios7 reviews Jules Massenet, Max Bruch, ... Decca, 2001 Exquisite collection & performances, unbelievable value!!! "Over 2 l/2 hours of the world's most beautiful music." These words on the cover are very close to true. What an incredible value this collection is!! So many of these compilations of this sort are cheaply produced, and those "greatest hits" collections are one trite piece after another -- after a while one runs screaming to the stereo to shut it off. However, this collection is top-notch, ...             Live at O'Toole's Tavern, Scranton, PA, December 19851 review Rick Danko & Richard Manuel United States Dist, 2009 GOOD MUSIC FROM TWO MEMBERS OF 'THE BAND' One disc approximately 50 minutes long. The sound is very good,with a few slight imperfections (snaps and pops) here and there. These are most evident when listening to this on headphones-otherwise don't worry. The recording is warm,which suits these tracks,the vocals are up front and very clean. The sound is like sitting up front in a small venue. The notes are minimal-a short paragraph on ...             Offenbach: Gaïte parisienne; Rossini-Respighi: La boutique fantasque [Hybrid SACD]6 reviews Jacques Offenbach, Ottorino Respighi, ... RCA, 2005 One of Fiedler's Best Jacques Offenbach was the Andrew Lloyd Webber or Richard Rogers of his day. He was a composer who knew how to touch the public's heart and his works were successful as well. Yet after his death, he nearly went into obscurity, at least in comparison to the success he had in his lifetime. It seemed that only a few of his works survived but in the past few years there have been more discoveries of ...             Julian Bream Ultimate Guitar Collection11 reviews Mateo Albeniz, Francis Cutting, ... RCA, 1999 Not "Ultimate", but Wonderful! As good a guitarist as Julian Bream is, one must begin by acknowledging that the title of this 2-CD set containing 32 admittedly seminal pieces written for hand-played strings ( primarily, the lute) is a tad hyperbolistic. An "Ultimate" collection of anything would have to be more complete, by definition, than any two CDs can be and, again, it almost goes without saying that no two people are apt ...             Cello Essentials: The World's Greatest Cello Music1 review Janos Starker, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Denon Records, 2008 You can't go wrong with Janos Starker This is a good collection that spans a wide variety of styles and eras. Many contain pieces most cellists should know, but I hadn't yet heard. Musically, I have no complaint, but the packaging looks like it was put together in a hurry. The back of mine said "Guitar Essentials". No worries, I won't be listening to the packaging. A good value.             Baby Einstein: Playtime Music Box12 reviews Baby Einstein Buena Vista, 2004 Great product This is fabulous and my baby loves it at 4 months old. I can hear him chatting to the images and it can give me that 20 mins of peace in the day that I sometimes need. Thank you Baby Einstein.             Aire Latino: Latin American Music for Guitar8 reviews Jorge Morel, Ariel Ramirez, ... Telarc, 2004 Thoughtful, Sensitive, and Skillful This is a great performance for the very versatile David Russell. His playing is thoughtful and expressive, but also sensitive and not overly extraverted. His use of rubato is excellent on most tracks, and his constant contrast of dynamics, as well as vibrato, give the pieces on this album real life and emotion. I had been performing 5 of the tracks on this album when it came out, so I can ...              search for popular music adagios, american, boutique, broadway, classic, collection, december, einstein, essential, essentials, fantasque, festival, greatest, inspiration, interstella, jacqueline, masterpieces, offenbach, original, parisienne, playtime, recording, respighi, rossini-respighi, scranton, segovia, sinuendo, spanish, ultimate, williams popular music:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
