The Ultimate Relaxation Christmas Album 2

English Anonymous, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Decca, 2005

Great
The music was just as the title stated relaxing. The songs were not just a recording of an existing song.

This is my favorite classical CD since it is geared to a wide audience. Many of my friends and acquaintances enjoy it, too.

Rapture
Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments Absolutely fantastic! Stare into space and enjoy this music.

The Ultimate Wedding Album

Johann Sebastian Bach, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Decca, 1995

When they say Ultimate, they mean it!
This album really is great. As of writing the review I haven't gotten married yet, but I am definetly using it in my June wedding. It has all of the classics that we always associate with weddings and only weddings ("Bridal Chorus" for the bridal processional, ...

Pavarotti: Greatest Hits

Adolphe Adam, Paul Anka, ...

Decca, 1997

Great collection of songs and arias.
I used to think that this wasn't Opera, but now I found out that there was more to music than that of scary music, and scary film scores. That being said, this Cd is the best. The arias on the first Cd are filled with emotion, because they take me back to a time when ...

#1 Christmas Album

Placido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti, ...

Decca, 2001

Touch of angle, touch of heart
If you enjoy opera or choir, this is a must collection. The Choir of King's College probably knows the secret how to make the listener flying among thousands of Christmas candles. Pavarotti's opening is so mighty that remind people, this year, to be courageous and to ...

Pavarotti's Greatest Hits

Vincenzo Bellini, Georges Bizet, ...

Decca, 2007

Excellent Survey of Pavarotti's Work
For someone who is already a student of opera, this dual set will probably be somewhat redundant. However, if you are curious about opera in general or are unfamiliar with Pavarotti's recordings, this is an excellent anthology. I bought it as two cassettes some 20 ...

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 ...

Broadway - The American Musical (PBS Series)

Richard Adler, Peter Allen, ...

Sony, 2004

Fabulous for any Broadway-lover
Packs into 5 CD's a sampling of Broadway tunes from the 20's thru (almost) today, mostly from original cast recordings. Includes not just well-known hits, but also some lesser-known gems. Sound quality is first rate, booklet is informative too. Have given this as a ...

The Magic of Christmas

Adolphe Adam, Hector Berlioz, ...

Decca, 1994

This will help to make it a beautiful Christmas!
This is an absolutely wonderful recording! From The Bach Choir's Stille Nachte--yes in German--which I need to have at least one of, even if I don't speak German, to Pavarotti's O Holy Night, half in English, half in French, to Dame Kiri Te Kawana's Ave Maria (Bach ...

Leading Man

Thomas Hampson, Richard Adler, ...

Angel Records, 1996

You alone can make my song take flight
Once upon a time Broadway was dominated by singers with real voices who did not need microphones to be heard. It's a trend all but gone and that is why this album is such an amazing breath of fresh air. Thomas Hampson is mostly known as a Lieder singer and an opera ...

George London: Of Gods and Demons

George London, Hector Berlioz, ...

Sony, 1997

Satanic!
This is an excellent collection of a some of London's best roles, plus the recordings are clear and lively. His voice is very focused and totally overwhelming. While his "Le veau d'or" can't compare to that of Christoff, London still makes for a great devil.. and his ...

No. 1 Wedding Album

Anonymous, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Decca, 2003

Wonderful Ceremony Music
We sampled a lot of cd's on Amazon before choosing this cd. We picked this one because it had the best selection of traditional ceremony music. It's tough to review because it's not like we have listened to it since the wedding. We only used it for a handful of songs ...

Simply Christmas

Richard Suart, Adolphe Adam, ...

Decca, 2003

This is a wonderful CD -- double set actually
Lots and lots of beautiful music, mostly choral. Great selection (interesting choices), all well done. If you like your Christmas music on the classical side, I think you'll like this. By interesting choices, I mean Kiri Te Kanawa singing White Christmas, or the ...
