This notion is based on the often heard idea that it only takes two clicks to get superior performances ...             Bach: A Musical Offering BWV 1079 133/ Canons BMV 1072-78 Kirstin Von Der Goltz, Johann Sebastian Bach, ... Hanssler Classics, 2000 A Bach gem-let! "A Musical Offering" is the name of an early morning radio program here in the Bay Area [KPFA], on which Mary Berg blesses those who listen each Sunday with beautifully chosen Bachian music. She played this CD last week and I went out and bought it. I've listened ...             Bach Edition: Complete Works (155 CD Box Set) Johann Sebastian Bach, Andrew Manze, ... Brilliant Classics, 2006 so far, definitely so good I have listened to, thus far, 122 discs and have enjoyed all but three of the performances, especially the Mass in B Minor, Magnificat, Christmas Oratorio, Goldberg Variations, The Art of Fugue, and to my surprise in spite of unfavourable reviews elsewhere, the Sacred ...             Virgil Fox Encores Johann Sebastian Bach, William Boyce, ... RCA, 1993 Riverside Organ Is Stretched to Its Limits in This One - - - If you like flamboyant, this CD will blow your skirt right up there! The dynamic range of the music in this CD will test your stereo system to the limits. Every part of the organ is used, from the shyest Kleine Erzähler to what must be a Double Bombarde. The songs ...             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 ...             Brahms: Complete Piano Music Johannes Brahms, Martin Jones Nimbus Records, 1995 Worthwhile, especially if you like Brahms Johannes Brahms was one of the key figures in Romantic Piano Music. His output for the instrument was varied and large, and this four-disc set is ample testament to that output. As it was with their complete Beethoven Sonatas set (by Bernard Roberts), so it it here: ...             Rachmaninov: Variations on a Theme of Chopin Sergey Rachmaninov, Idil Biret Naxos, 2000             The World of Ruth Crawford Seeger Ruth Crawford Seeger, Jenny Lin, ... Bis, 2002 Ruth Crawford Seeger had a brief life (1901-1953) and an even briefer career as a composer. After her String Quartet of 1931, she gave up composing to concentrate on folk music studies. She wrote only brief pieces for piano, and they make a difficult listening program. As soon as you become adjusted to the comfortable idiom of her early little ...             In a Quiet Cathedral Johann Sebastian Bach, Samuel Barber, ... Delos Records, 1994 One of my most-played CDs This is one of my most frequently played CDs. I find it perfect background music for meditation, prayer, reading and other tasks, as well as a good CD that doesn't disturb people at work. This is not intended to be organised as a church service or a concert ...             The Willis Organ at Salisbury Cathedral Johannes Brahms, Frank Bridge, ... Telarc, 1990 Fanfares a blaze... This is a wonderful CD. The Salisbury Organ is in the very capable hands of Organist, Michael Murray. Not only does the CD demonstrate for us the great qualities of the Tuba Mirabilis and 32' Ophicleide, but also the soft string sounds of the organ. A definite must ...             Rachmaninov: Piano Music (Box Set) Fritz Kreisler, Sergey Rachmaninov, ... Naxos, 2000 Essential Rachmaninoff at a good price. Buy this box set. Biret is great. She plays Rachmaninoff straight up and doesn't taint the compositions with any wild "interpretations." And the recording quality is five star, too. I bought this in order to snag some lesser known Rachmaninoff that I loved (Cinq ...             Conlon Nancarrow: Studies for Player Piano (arranged for Chamber Orchestra) / Piece No. 2 for Small Orchestra ... Conlon Nancarrow, Ingo Metzmacher, ... RCA, 1993 A fantastic testament to a great, long-neglected composer. To put it bluntly, this is some of the most original and entertaining 20th century music you will ever hear. Nancarrow's innovative player piano studies were written from the late 1940s to the early '80s and were intended, among other things, to explore ideas that ...             Sound Forms For Piano John Cage, Henry Cowell, ... New World Records, 1995 Highly recommended This is, without doubt, one of the finest recordings of American experimental music ever issued, performed with loving care by the late, great Robert Miller except for Nancarrow's studies. The excellent notes by Charles Hamm should prepare listeners unfamiliar with ...             Schuman: Complete Piano Trios Vol. 2 Robert Schumann, Trio Parnassus MD&G Records, 2000             The Complete Piano Music of Sergei Rachmaninov Sergey Rachmaninov, Howard Shelley Hyperion UK, 1993 Endless pleasure Fortunately for my pocketbook, I listen to these recordings now mostly from my iTunes library or on my iPod. I say fortunately because I would have long since worn them out. Few of my hundreds of CDs have given me as much pleasure over many years as these.
