Bernadette Peters Loves Rodgers & Hammerstein

Bernadette Peters

Angel Records, 2002

A Great Recording by A Great Artist.
I totally disagree with the previous negative reviews of this cd. What were they listening to anyway? Certainly not this recording. First,Bernadette Peters is THE greatest Broadway musical performer of our time. I rate her right up there with Merman,Martin,Verdon,and ...

Bryn Terfel - Something Wonderful (Bryn Terfel sings Rodgers & Hammerstein)

Bryn Terfel, English Northern Philharmonia, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1996

Superb matchmaking in Terfel's R&H recital
You might think that it is a very superflous mismatch for an opera singer to try his vocal cords on the Broadway songs of Rodgers & Hammerstein. However, in this R&H offering by Bryn Terfel, he proves that it is a perfect match between singer and repertoire for a ...

Béla Bartók: The Wooden Prince / Cantata Profana - John Aler / John Tomlinson / Chicago Symphony Orchestra & ...

Béla Bartók, Pierre Boulez, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1992

Boulez good.
This disc is easily one of my very favorite discs in my 500-or-so CD collection. Some of my friends in the Chicago Symphony mentioned that when Boulez first conducted them, most of them hated him because he was stuffy, academic, and annoying. However, every one of ...

The Enchanted Forest: Melodies of Japan

Fujikake, Japanese Traditional, ...

RCA, 1990

Quiet, relaxing , pleasant, interesting, and a treat to the ear.This is my first Galway cd, and I'm impressed with it, I will probably be buying more.

Telarc, 2000

Ethereal music, and a divine harp
This Cd is of the great music of the wonderful composer Alan Hovhaness. No matter what your favorite style is, this music you will fine it to be divine, spiritual.The sonata for the unusual combination of harp and guitar,"The Spirit of Trees" was composed in ...

Enchanted Christmas

Anna Maria Mendieta

Sugo Records, 1993

Enchanted by Enchanted Christmas
This album contains some of the most beautiful harp music combined with Stevan Pasero's New Chamber Ensemble that I have ever heard. Ms. Mendieta's mastery of the harp is in this reviewer's thinking probably the best I have ever heard, and I believe harp truly is an ...

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 ...

Classical Music for People Who Hate Classical Music

Johann Sebastian Bach, Samuel Barber, ...

Compendia, 1994

Exactly what I wanted
It's probably too much to say that this collection is for those who "hate" classical music. But I think it's safe to say that it is for people who are not serious aficionados. It provides classical tunes that most of us have heard but don't necessarily know the names ...

Carter, Aitken

Naxos American, 2008

Sain Records, 2005

The Enchanted Isles

Anonymous, Turlough O'Carolan, ...

Dorian Recordings, 1993

Lush and lovely music from the past
Perhaps some day Dorian Recordings will turn out a poor CD, but among their more recent releases are four sets that feature harpist Carol Thompson. The artist was born in this country of Anglo-Welsh-Irish background (as the copywriter tells us). Part of her ...

Liadov: Orchestral Works

Anatol Lyadov, Stephen Gunzenhauser, ...

Naxos, 2001

Liadov's Masterpiece
This is a very timely reissue of one of my favorite Marco Polo discs--and a very affordable one at that (the original cost me 18.99!). An indespensible program for lovers of Russian Romanticism, Liadov's miniatures easily take their place among Rimsky-Korsakov, ...

Tchaikovsky: The Greatest Hits

Pyotr Il'yich Tchaikovsky, Bamberg Philharmonic Orchestra, ...

Compendia, 1994

Ahhh...my lovely Tchaikovsky CD....
This, and a Grieg CD, is what got me started in classical music! Wonderful selections played lovely. Maybe I'm over rating this CD because it has helped me so much, but it is an excellent intro to Tchaikovsky's music. The Coronation March isn't as frequent as other ...
