Bach: Violin Concertos
Johann Sebastian Bach

Daniel Barenboim

EMI Classics, 2002
Great interpretation
I was looking for a recording of Bach's Concerto No. 1 in A minor so that I could hear how to better play the accompaniment (on piano) and my daughter could hear a master play the piece on violin. We listened to 3 different recordings, and this was our favorite by far. ...
Romance of the Violin
Joshua Bell
,
Giacomo Puccini
Sony, 2003
very good
I have several of Mr Bells CD's and enjoy all of them. This is the best CD I own. The music is very relaxing and the sound of the strad is awesome. We listen to it nightly (kids) as a bedtime routine and I never tire of it. You would not regret this purchase.

Vox (Classical), 1996
Wonderful collection and price!
I found this to be a nice collection of favorites, especially to keep in the car and listen to. It is a variety of well known compilations. Although not encompassing, it is perfect as a review for driving, relaxing, and enjoyment. Plus, the price is right!

Luigi Boccherini

EMI Classics, 1990
I THOUGHT I had heard these concertos,,,
UNTIL I was fortunate enough to have heard them performed by Jacqueline du Pre!!! ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! Her superb playing, along with truly masterful interpretative skills, just "comes pouring out of the speakers!" Also, the orchestras were obviously truly ...
Vivaldi: The Four Seasons; Violin Concertos
Antonio Vivaldi
,
Itzhak Perlman
, ...
EMI Classics, 2002
A beautiful Vivaldi recording
Itzhak Perlman plays the Four Seasons like no other violinist. The clarity and tone indicate a master violinist but the emotion and passion convey a sense of a message. If you are looking for a great recording of the Four Seasons, pick this one up right away, as ...
Schoenberg Violin Concerto Op.36/Sibelius Violin Concerto Op.47
Sibelius
,
Schoenberg
, ...
DG, 2008
Revelatory
The Schoenberg violin concerto is widely admired and widely studied, but it isn't much played, and it's never been much loved. This is partly because of the huge technical hurdles it presents fiddlers, but also because it isn't especially easy to bring off musically; ...

Vox (Classical), 1996
Great collection of classical favorites - but no Beethoven
Overall an excellent collection of classical favorites and for $3.99 its a steal, but strangely there is not a single Beethoven composition in the CD.
The Most Soothing Lullabies In The Universe
Johann Sebastian Bach
,
Ludwig van Beethoven
, ...
Denon Records, 2004
sooth for both unborn and newborn babies.
very soothing for the unborn baby (decreases in-utero kicking) and the newborn baby (increases between-feedings time at night). highly recommended for any newly minted parents out there.

The Most Relaxing Classical Album in the World...Ever!
Johann Sebastian Bach

Léo Delibes

Angel Records, 1999
Good for relaxing pregnant women
I stumbled onto this album whilst searching bit torrent websites for classical music. I don't normally listen to classical music but thought it might be relaxing for my pregnant wife. After hearing the quality of the performances, the arrangement, and the recording I ...
Gershwin: Rhapsody In Blue/An American In Paris
George Gershwin
,
Leonard Bernstein
, ...
Sony, 1990
A glorious tribute!
To play Gershwin accurately demands from the player, the absolute domain of an invisible taste, unsaid in the score. Few pianists (and Bernstein is among them) were able to convey the listener, this savoir vivre, humor, elegance, that idiomatic atmosphere that plainly ...

Leon Fleisher Plays Brahms
Jules Eskin
,
Johannes Brahms
, ...
Sony, 1997
Absolutely the best!
Just a quick note. I owned both Fleisher/Brahms concertos on LP back in the 1970's. I have about fifteen different artists, all world class recordings of these wonderful concertos. When I heard Mr. Fleisher's, his playing set the standard for everyone to measure up ...

Benjamin Luxon
,
Brian Etheridge
, ...
EMI Classics, 2008
Great Value, Fine Performances
For lovers of Ralph Vaughan Williams' music, the prospect of obtaining most of his works on 30 CDs for $50 or less should be irresistible. It's a great way to fill in the gaps in your collection, or to become acquainted with RVW's less familiar works. Among the ...

Johann Sebastian Bach

Sir Neville Marriner

EMI Classics, 2004
Easy to Enjoy
I am not a musician nor can I identify Bach's Brandenburg Concerto number one from number five. However, I am an avid listener and do enjoy classical music. I know how good the Academy of St Martin in the Fields is and what a great conductor Sir Neville Marriner is. ...
