I've never gotten anything in as quickly. It was in excellent condition. I'm very pleased with this purchase.             The #1 Opera Album44 reviews Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, ... Decca, 2001 The best gift ever. I purchased this CD as a birthday gift for my sister. Because I personally know nothing about opera, I didn't know how to buy a single opera for her, or even which one she would like if I did know how to get it. So I settled on this "sampler" style Cd, and she just loved it. This is the best of the best of all opera arias and performances. My sister plays it all the time, and I think it is ...             Beethoven: Symphonies 5 & 7141 reviews Ludwig van Beethoven, Carlos Kleiber, ... Deutsche Grammophon, 1996 Definitive Fifth, Great Seventh The Fifth is very, very polished and sounds just like it should. What more could you say about a recording of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony? I mean, it's the Fifth Symphony! Next I'll review the Mona Lisa... I can say that this Fifth seems "faster" than some versions, but at the same time it feels like it has the exact right tempo. It is my favorite recording of the Fifth and probably my ...             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             Messiah (George Frederick Handel) London Philharmonic Orchestra36 reviews Handel, London Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra, ... Sparrow, 2002 A fantastic deal! This is a great recording. I got my product just days after purchase and I enjoy listening it ever since.             Brahms: Complete Symphonies8 reviews Johannes Brahms, Unspecified, ... EMI Classics, 2009 In A Word: Incredible Simon Rattle conducting Brahms? I never would have thought that this set would be worth acquiring, especially considering that I already own what I consider to be the best Brahms symphony cycles: Solti, Harnoncourt, Dohnanyi, Abbado, Bohm, and Karajan, then I started reading all of the glowing reviews on Amazon and other websites that said this cycle is one of the best ever recorded. Is that a ...             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.             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.             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, ...             Gershwin: Rhapsody In Blue/An American In Paris21 reviews George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, ... Sony, 1990 Rhapsody in blue I first heard Leonard Bernstein's version of Rahpsody in Blue in the early 1960s, on a 7" vinyl record. It has remained my favourite ever since. This digital issue on a CD is excellent. Nothing has been lost in the transition from analogue to digital recording, and it is every bit as enjoyable now as it was when I first heard it forty-five years ago.             Sarah Brightman Classics150 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". ...             Puccini - Turandot / Sutherland · Pavarotti · Caballé · Ghiaurov · Krause · Pears · LPO · Mehta145 reviews Giacomo Puccini, Zubin Mehta, ... Decca, 1990 G Puccini "Tourandot" Sutherland.Pavarotti. etc, Mehta, conducting This particular recording is recommended in several reputable opera sources as the best recording of "Turandot." I have seen a live performance, and this recording will not disappoint.             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.             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.             Hooked on Classics13 reviews Louis Clark, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra Hooked on Classics, 2000 Wonderful Intro To the Classics This arrangement includes pieces from some of the greatest classical music ever written, and while the work is definitely underscored from beginning to end by the permeating techno rhythm, I believe the intent of the work was/is to introduce classical music to the ears of an audience who may have never heard it outside of cartoons. In that regard, I think the album has been a stunning success! ...             Vivaldi: The Four Seasons; Violin Concertos21 reviews Antonio Vivaldi, Itzhak Perlman, ... EMI Classics, 2002 This recording never gets old I've been the DJ at more than a couple hundred weddings. This recording has always been my first choice as seating music and always brings rave reviews. The performances are stellar and most people enjoy it from beginning to end, if time allows.             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!             Essential Mozart: 32 Of His Greatest Masterpieces23 reviews Fritz Dolezal, Franklin Cohen, ... 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             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!!             Bernstein Century - Copland: Appalachian Spring, Rodeo, etc / Bernstein, New York PO49 reviews Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein, ... Sony, 1997 Cult recordings! Appalachian spring was first given by the New York Philharmonic under the direction of Artur Rodzinsky (October 4, 1945). According the very Copland, the music of the ballet takes as its point of departure the personality of Martha Graham. She borrowed it from the heading of one of hart Crane's poems, though the ballet seems to bear no relation to the text of the poem itself.
