Norton Recorded Anthology of Western Music, Fifth Edition, Volume 1: Ancient to Baroque (6 CDs)
W. W. Norton
, 2005
The Standard
If you're a music student at almost any major school (I just finished my undergraduate at Indiana University, for example) you'll most likely need to take a course that uses these CD's as part of its history survey. For that purpose, this set is an excellent ...
Nancarrow: Studies for Player Piano
Conlon Nancarrow
Wergo Germany, 2000
Dizzying experiments by a brilliant maverick
A true compositional original, Conlon Nancarrow is best known for these mind-blowing pieces for player piano. Why this particular instrument? Because most of these short works are utterly unplayable by human beings, unless you are capable of say, depressing all 88 ...

Sony, 1990
cd- Rhapsoy In Blue Gershwin
I loved these songs since I first heard them. Especially the RAPSODY IN BLUE which I probably heard it first in the movie, An American In Paris. This cd rendition is perfect. I have it loaded on my pod as well as having the cd in my office to listen to (among others) ...
Revolutionary [Hybrid SACD] [Includes Bonus DVD]
Johann Sebastian Bach
,
Cameron Carpenter
, ...
Telarc, 2008
Revolutionary showcases an artist who is not only breaking ground, but who runs a musical gamut that any musician would be extremely hard-pressed to match. There are only four organ works included. Three are major pinnacles of the organ repertoire (the blistering, nearly unplayable Etude in Octaves by the French modernist Jeanne Demessieux; ...

Philips, 1995
Excellent for Massage!
I'm a licensed massage therapist, and I absolutely adore using this CD during my sessions! It's a great alternative to the new age-y music styles that are so pervasive in the relaxation music scene -- my clients find this CD soothing & relaxing, and not at all ...
Beethoven Edition: Complete Works (85CD Box Set)
Ludwig van Beethoven

Florian Prey

Brilliant Classics, 2007
Great price for every note written by Beethoven
I have the complete sets for Mozart and Bach too. Overall they pick pretty good versions of each piece, but at this price, you can use it as reference to fill out with specific artist, later. This is compact in packaging and a great gift for people in apartments or ...
Bach: Greatest Hits

Johann Sebastian Bach

Sony, 1994
Teeming with classics
I purchased this for track #10, which I'd happened to hear on the radio...it stayed in my head until I tracked down the CD. I have a relatively basic working knowledge of classical music, so this long playing collection was an excellent and surprising introduction to ...
Grieg: Lyric Pieces / Emil Gilels
Edvard Grieg
,
Emil Gilels
Deutsche Grammophon, 1997
Superb historical achievement!
Emil Gilels temperament has always been at least to my mind extremely cold and even analytical. His powerful phrasing is first rate, who can deny it? . However, he recorded for the posterity two emblematic works; this album and Brahms Piano Quartet Op. 25 with ...

Chopin: Favorite Piano Works
Frederic Chopin
,
Vladimir Ashkenazy
Decca, 1996
Why are you waiting?
Ashkenazy is one of the titans of Chopin. Davidovich and Arrau are the other two. They're all you need. Get Davidovich for the concertos, (inlcuding the Krakowiak--Op 14), Arrau for the nocturnes and a few micscellaneous pieces. Ashkenazy handles everything else. ...

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Georg Solti

Decca, 1992
Pick of the litter....
To my great surprise, in the last two decades of his life Solti turned into a marvelous Mozart interpreter. His '80's Figaro, and '90's Magic Flute and Cosi fan Tutte are among my favorite versions, Sir Georg's sometimes abrasive nervous energy (and scholarly use of ...

Brilliant Classics, 2005
A wonderful set !
I bought the complete set for my birthday. What a wonderful surprise ! Let's say I did not know much about Mozart's music except some few "classics" (the symphonies, the requiem, some piano concertos and sonatas, some serenades and the operas). I love every piece I ...

Brilliant Classics, 2006
Wonderful, wonderful music
Even though I have a lot of other Bach records, this is different, like being in the ocean. What a joy. Buy it; it's unbelievable. The organ works, violin and harpsichord material, and most concertos and orchestral works, have NOTHING wrong with them per se; if you ...

Definitive Recordings of Copland's Popular Ballet Scores From Bernstein, NYPO
Without question, this splendid CD is my favorite recording of some of Aaron Copland's most popular orchestral ballet scores. In Leonard Bernstein he had both a good friend and a devout ally, who successfully championed Copland's music, helping to ensure his reputation ...
