Naxos, 1999 An excellent compilation of Faure's work I bought this cd not knowing anything about Gabriel Faure's music. A local orchestra was planning to perform Masques et Bergamasques, so I picked this cd being the most inexpensive way of buying something I possibly was not going to enjoy. But nothing could be further ...             The Ultimate Most Relaxing Guitar Music in the Universe Isaac Albeniz, Anonymous, ... Denon Records, 2007 Relaxing doesn't give these CDs justice! These CDs are truely incredible. I bought these because I'm always really stressed, and I will be starting college soon. Plus, I love guitar music, and this has a Spanish edge, which I love.

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 ...             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. ...             The #1 Opera Album Giacomo Puccini, Giuseppe Verdi, ... Decca, 2001 great collection If one was wanting to introduce a friend to the wonderful world of opera, this would be a great cd to buy them. Also at this time when many of us are worrying about Luciano and his health , it is great to hear him featured on many of the selections. A great buy and ...             Juliian Bream Ultimate Guitar Collection Mateo Albeniz, Francis Cutting, ... RCA, 1999 One well worth the price of two This two cd set is an odd juxtaposition. The first cd consists of a sampler of Bream's career output - but without (and I believe the omission is disgraceful) any acknowledgement of Bream's significant contribution toward the creation of a truly 20th century concert ...             Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments Rapture-Opera's Most Heavenly Moments Deutsche Grammophon, 2002 Rapture Rapture: Opera's Most Heavenly Moments Absolutely fantastic! Stare into space and enjoy this music.             Reflections of Spain: Spanish Favorites for Guitar David Russell, Isaac Albeniz, ... Telarc, 2002 The Best This is the best Spanish guitar CDs that I have found. Even with "Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces" having more tracks and two CDs, this is better material. I am not saying that "33 Guitar Masterpiece" was bad, I actually rate it second. No need to skip ...             Kapell Rediscovered Thomas Arne, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... RCA, 2008 Are There Still More? When I first listened to this recording (it came two days ago) I thought that Kapell's sound was agressive, (it is), he rushed (he does) and that his sense of proportion was often out of whack with what's really going on (sometimes it definitely is). But when all was ...             Dinner Classics: The Italian Album Keith Marjoram, Luigi Boccherini, ... Sony, 1990 Bravo! I heard this album for the first time at a restuarant in Florence during my trip to Italy. I was surprised it was from the US beacause it has captured the very soul of Italy. After 7 years it has remained my favorite of all Puccini cds I own. I especially like the ...             The Best Opera Album in the World...Ever! Ernest Blanc, Robert Massard, ... Angel Records, 1999 Great for the amateur Opera listener As a long time armchair Opera listener I'm shocked that I hadn't come across this album until recently. I'm not really an Opera connoisseur so my review is based on just the fact that I love Opera, but mostly by listening to arias or occasionally going to the Opera. ...             Tuscany Anonymous, Ludwig van Beethoven, ... Denon Records, 2004 A great cd The music selection makes us play the cd over and over. A great setting for the cd. The vocals really make the cd.             Movie Adagios Janos Starker, Julian Lloyd Webber, ... Decca, 2001 One of the best CDs you'll ever own This is an excellent selection of music. I listen to it every chance I get. It is great just to put in your CD player on "repeat" and allow it to soothe and inspire you for a few hours, for an evening, or an for entire day. One reason I chose it was that I was looking ...             Essential Tchaikovsky Dmitri Hvorostovsky, Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, ... Decca, 2002 Best of the best There's something for every Tchaikovsky lover on this disc. From Swan Lake to Onegin, many of Tchaikovsky's most-known melodies are on this disc. I'd have preferred more than an excerpt of the first movement of Piano Concerto No. 1, but this disc is a great ...          products you might be interested in   search for classical music christmas, collection, favorites, rediscovered, reflections, tchaikovsky      geepe.com    web we recommend Rapture randomly chosen book: Private Pilot Manual
