50TH Anniversary Harmonia Mundi
Harmonia Mundi Various Artists
Harmonia Mundi Fr., 2007
Gorgeous Early Music for Amazing Value
Harmonia Mundi has taken highlights from 50 years. While I love classical music, there are a lot of selections that I had not heard. I have been thoroughly surprised to enjoy 98% of the music on the 30 CDs. There are a couple of "editing" glitches where a track ...
The Willis Organ at Salisbury Cathedral
Johannes Brahms

Frank Bridge

Telarc, 1990
Fanfares a blaze...
This is a wonderful CD. The Salisbury Organ is in the very capable hands of Organist, Michael Murray. Not only does the CD demonstrate for us the great qualities of the Tuba Mirabilis and 32' Ophicleide, but also the soft string sounds of the organ. A definite must ...

Kapell's Discovered Treasures
"Willy was beyond a doubt the greatest pianistic talent this country [USA] has ever produced." Leon Fleischer America has seen its share of pianistic careers cut short for varying reasons: whether due to burnout (Van Cliburn), hand injuries (Leon Fleischer, Gary ...
Horowitz Plays Scriabin
Alexander Scriabin

Vladimir Horowitz
RCA, 1989
From Byronic to Orgiastic
Vladimir Horowitz was a champion of Scriabin's music long before it became fashionable, or even semi-fashionable. Scriabin's music appeared on Horowitz's programs as early as the 1920s. Horowitz's first issued Scriabin recordings were made at his 25th Anniversary ...

Brilliant Classics, 2006
so far, definitely so good
I have listened to, thus far, 122 discs and have enjoyed all but three of the performances, especially the Mass in B Minor, Magnificat, Christmas Oratorio, Goldberg Variations, The Art of Fugue, and to my surprise in spite of unfavourable reviews elsewhere, the Sacred ...

Brilliant Classics, 2005
The best Così fan tutte on disc
In is hard to justify spending $120 for one opera, but if you do buy this Mozart box set you will be rewarded by a delightful Così fan tutte. This live recording succeeds primarily because of the deft baton of Sigiswald Kuijken. He sets what invariably seems to be the ...

Sony, 1994
Excellent Introductory CD!
This CD is an excellent introduction to the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. It's certainly not exhaustive, but it's a start. It also includes pieces from Johann Michael Bach, as well as another composer (whose name escapes me at the moment) whose work was once ...

RCA, 1999
Soothing sounds for unborn baby
This product is wonderful and i would recommend it to anybody who is expecting a baby. It can be used also later on when the baby is born of course so it is a never-ending beautiful piece of music.

Makes selecting your wedding music easy!
This CD includes a nice selection of classical wedding music. When I ordered, I had no idea of what music I wanted or even how to select appropriate music. The accompanying guide breaks down each part of the ceremony and makes it easy to select the right song(s), ...

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Denon Records, 2003
Greatly enjoy!
I first developed a taste for this music a number of years ago when my daughter started playing in the orchestra. The reason I made this purchase however, was because I have a great deal of difficulty with anxiety and I was looking for ways to find help. I love these ...

Sony Classics, 2007
The Bargain of 2007
I consider this release\compilation to be the greatest classical bargain of 2007-a year of many complete issues such as Bach and Mozart on Brilliant classics(before 07). Stravinsky is the conductor for almost all the performances with the CBS orchestra and, though ...
Bartok: Complete Solo Piano Music
Bela Bartok

György Sándor
Vox (Classical), 2003
Best classical value out there
To put this set in perspective, for months I would go to my local Tower Records fishing for worthwhile classical CDs at least once a week. One of the discs that sat in the bins the longest was a single CD of Bartok piano music, played by Zoltan Kocsis. It was Volume ...

Pretty good
I am not much into classical music.. Read about Mozart and wanted to make sure I listen to one of the all time classics. Though I may not be qualified enough to review a classic, On a whole it was a pleasant experience for me and a good add on to my car, especially ...
Baby Einstein: Baby Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Baby love
My baby loves the baby einstein movies (3 months old) and this uses the music from the baby Mozart video, so he recognizes it and laughs and plays while listening!
Bach: Partitas Nos. 2-4
Johann Sebastian Bach
,
Murray Perahia
Sony Classics, 2008
Exactly what you'd expect from Perhaia
In my opinion, nowhere in the entire output of Johann Sebastian Bach does this very, very great composer display his mastery over counterpoint and harmony better than in the mighty six keyboard partitas. Here is keyboard composition of such stature that only the great ...

well rounded surprises
Now we know who wrote the beautiful music for so many films. AND these arrangements for YoYo Ma highlight his talent and broad capacity to play so many types of music so well. Bravo!

Does what it set out to do, very well
So i'm a classical music veteran, someone who prefers to collect a complete work, rather than classical compilations. I probably would not have listened to this album at all if my dad didnt buy it for me as a gift. By now, i own the complete works that over half of the ...
