Musica Viva, 1998

Brilliant Bassoonastics
This would have to be the best bassoon ensemble cd on the market. The arrangements are stylish and clever, and the performances brilliant! Fraser Jackson must be the most accomplished contrabassoonist I have ever head. This cd is a must for any bassoonists collection ...

Cello Submarine: Beatles Classics by the 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic

Lennon & McCartney, Beatles, ...

Teldec, 1995

Very well done
First of all, I LOVE the Beatles, and I LOVE Classical music. Personally I do not care how Amazon lists this CD. That being said, I have played many arrangements of Beatles songs (mostly for string quartet) and they all leave something to be desired. These ...

The Beatles Connection: The King's Singers

King's Singers, Paul McCartney, ...

EMI Classics, 1990

When the tradition of Western polyphonic singing meets the Beatles - there is much to enjoy
The previous reviewers have rightly extolled the virtues of this disc, recorded in 1986. With the King's Singers "Beatles Connection", the tradition of Western polyphonic singing, harking back to Jannequin, Monteverdi and the English Renaissance, meets the art of song ...

The Christmas Album: Vienna Boys Choir

Andrew Pask, Christopher Laurence, ...

EMI Classics, 2003

THE BEST VIENNA BOYS CHOIR CHRISTMAS MUSIC!!
This wonderful collection of Christmas music is especially good! Many pieces are very well known standards, and have been rewritten in ways that keep the music fresh, interesting and new! Every holiday season (and even throughout the year) this CD is played by our ...

Party at the Palace: Queen's Golden Jubilee / Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Queen, Rod Stewart, Annie Lennox, ...

Eric, Paul

KULTUR VIDEO, 2008

It was a nice Party
Have always regrded the British Royals as having outstayed their welcome a bit - especially the younger generation - but I must say that this concert, celebrating the Queen's 50th year of Queendom, is really quite moving and positive. Most of the Brit (and some US ...

Perhaps Love

John Denver, Lee Holdridge, ...

Sony, 1990

A great CD...
Placido Domingo is a great man...I love his music and will always continue to listen to him...he is so relaxing for me to hear... I loved this CD with John Denver singing my favorite "Perhaps Love" It is a keeper for sure...

Paul McCartney: Ecce Cor Meum

Paul McCartney, Gavin Greenaway, ...

EMI Classics, 2006

Are we listening to the same piece of music?
How can I be listening to the same piece of music that another reviewer here finds "vapid" and "uneventful"? That is the question I ask myself, and the only answer I've been able to think of is, perhaps, that the other reviewer is looking for Hamlet set to music. ...

Arthur Fiedler & The Boston Pops Play the Beatles

John & Paul McCartney Lennon, Arthur Fiedler, ...

RCA, 2000

AMAZING!
I cannot help but smile when I listen to the beautiful arrangements on this album. It blends the Beatles' genius for melody with the great percussive sound and incredible energy of Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops. I've heard other orchestral versions of Beatles ...

The Kings Singers - New Day

John David, Peter Christie, ...

EMI Classics, 1990

Beautiful singing; clever arrangements
I have been a fan of The King's Singers since their debut recording thirty years ago. New Day is one of my favourite albums. It has the terrific optimistic song "New Day," but many other wonderful tracks. "Can't Buy Me Love" is sung as if it had been written by one of ...

Canadian Brass: Legends

Samuel Barber, William Byrd, ...

OPENING DAY ENT, 2008

Tribute to the Legends
"The compositions featured on LEGENDS are absolutely essential to appreciating the Canadian Brass legacy." That about sums up this cd. Fans of the Canadian Brass will find no new compositions on this album but will find new recordings of old standards. I find I ...

Paul McCartney: Ecce Cor Meum

Paul McCartney

EMI Classics, 2008

music
This will make you cry. Paul has a talent, to write classical music, that most people don't know. So much love is placed in every note of this beautiful album.

Haunted Heart

Sonny Burke, Bill/Fischer, Carl Carey, ...

Decca, 2005

" With Eileen Farrell whispering in her ear"
I began to appreciate this cd with the 2nd listening. I wasn't immediately impressed. Renee Fleming has one of the greatest voices in opera history. Her Marschallin has no equal. Many opera singers have crashed when attempting a different musical style. For me, the ...

Hard to Find Orchestral Instrumentals II

Charles Albertine, Gilbert Becaud, ...

Eric Records, 2003

Keep 'Em Coming, Bill Buster
Back in 2002, one thing I shared with many other completist collectors of hit singles from the 1950s and 1960s was ever seeing a CD version of the George Cates version of Moonglow And The Theme From "Picnic." I wrote to Bill Buster of Eric Records about that [and ...

The King's Singers Greatest Hits

Christopher van Kampen, Bill Jackman, ...

EMI Classics, 2008

Like a musical buffet
Everything from madrigals to the Beatles with a little Christmas music for color. Even if you're not a big fan of madrigals or folk songs, the King's have a way of making them thoroughly enjoyable and very easy to listen to. The track "You Are the New Day" will bring ...
