Arcangelo Corelli

Andre Rieu, Johann Strauss Orchestra

Philips, 1997

A Christmas Collection That Is Just Plain Fun
Sometimes I think the only person who is happy that Public television is financially challenged, other that certain legislators who believe that it is too liberal and the culmination of all that is evil, is Andre Rieu. Now don't get me wrong, this happy Dutch musician ...

Christmas Album: Original Masters

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, Hermann Prey, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2003

Great music and an astonishing amount of it!
The business folks at DG must have a soft spot for Christmas music, probably leftover goodwill from growing up with caroling in the snow. Certainly the German language nations seem to have excelled in producing a wealth of Christmas tunes, jingles, chorales, hymns, and ...

Christmas Adagios

Gerald Finley, Adolphe Adam, ...

Decca, 2001

One of my very top 5 favorite holiday albums!
What a delightful surprise this 2 disc album was and I'm not a big fan of Christmas music. I loved all the selections and felt they were well performed. This is a true "must have" for any Christmas collection. Superior to many other compliations on the market. This ...

The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Denon Records, 2004

sooth for both unborn and newborn babies.
very soothing for the unborn baby (decreases in-utero kicking) and the newborn baby (increases between-feedings time at night). highly recommended for any newly minted parents out there.

The Baroque Christmas Album

Johann Sebastian Bach, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, ...

Archiv Produktion, 2005

5-PLUS Stars
There are not many things in life that I would describe as just Gorgeous -- but this album is definitely one of them. The selections, the arrangements, the production quality, all are clean, yet lush -- simultaneously light and rich. The effect is wonderful. This ...

Baroque at Bathtime: A Relaxing Serenade to Wash Your Cares Away

Johann Sebastian Bach, Domenico Cimarosa, ...

Philips, 1995

stress free
The CD came quickly and was well packaged. The music is beautiful and very relaxing. I used it to listen to as I drifted off to sleep.

Famous Classical Trumpet Concertos

Tomaso Albinoni, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Philips, 2000

The Best Trumpeter in the Business
It's a rare treat for a reviewer when he can throw caution to the winds and go out on a limb for a musician. This is such an occasion for me. Hakan Hardenberger is a phenomenon. I think he is the Babe Ruth, the Wayne Gretzky, the Michael Jordan, the Vladimir ...

Ultimate Classical Christmas Album of All Time

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 ...

25 Romantic Classics

Johann Sebastian Bach, Ludwig van Beethoven, ...

Vox (Classical), 1996

Not A Music Critic ... But A Lover Of All Music ...
Let's not be too harsh regarding this CD. I purchased this as my first baby step into the classical genre and it absolutely made me fall in love with classical music and appreciate it in a way I never could when people tried to make me like it. It is such a wide ...

Corelli: 12 Concerti grossi, op. 6

Jaap ter Linden, Arcangelo Corelli, ...

Archiv Produktion, 1999

Corelli's famous Concerti by my favorite period instrument orchestra and conductor
Trevor Pinnock's recording of Corelli's Op. 6 Concerti grossi will not be to all tastes. Those raised on traditional instrument recordings by such as Max Goberman/Vienna Sinfonietta (Odyssey LPs, circulated in the 1970s) or Paul Angerer/Southwest German Chamber ...

Corelli: Complete Works

Albert Bruggen, Frank Wakelkamp, ...

Brilliant Classics, 2005

Brilliant Corelli from lesser known Dutch musicians: a great bargain
Brilliant Classics 10 disc compendium of the complete works of Arcangelo Corelli (1653-1713) is a bargain. The performances are by members of Musica Amphion, a Dutch period instrument orchestra, conducted from the harpsichord by Pieter Jan Belder. These may be lesser ...

Essential Baroque

Essential Baroque

Decca, 2002

High-quality, marvelously varied intro to baroque music
I am buying this as the perfect gift for Russian and Chinese scientist friends. They have knowledge of classical music but perhaps not much about baroque music, which achieved special popularity in the U.S. during the 1970's and 1980's. Russians seem to have more ...

Classic Thanksgiving Songs of Praise

Arcangelo Corelli, Giovanni Gabrieli, ...

Naxos, 2000

Setting the mood.
This is a great collection of fall/harvest/thanksgiving hymnes. I enjoyed listening to it and getting in the Thanksgiving mood.

40 Most Beautiful Christmas Classics

Adolphe Adam, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Rhino / Wea, 2007

a voice teacher and early music fan
QUALITY AND QUANTITY COMBINE IN THIS VERY FINE COMPILATION! This is indeed one of the most tasty group of Christmas songs that I have come across in my many years of listening. It leans toward sacred, but there are tunes such 'White Christmas' sung beautifully by ...

Baroque Christmas Music

Arcangelo Corelli, George Frederick Handel, ...

Delta, 1990

Perfect Background Music
This low-priced CD is simply the best Christmas CD you will ever find. The music is positive, rich in instrumentation, bright, moving, and tolerable with many repeats. It will fill your house or business with the exact atmosphere you need for a classy, heartwarming ...
