The Essential Yo-Yo Ma
Edgar Meyer, Hector Console, ...

Sony, 2005

pure genius
No instrument asks more from the soul of an artist as the cello does. Yo Yo Ma shows to be master of the instrument and his interpretations en technique are pure genius. Everyone should have this album in his (or hers of course) basic classical collection
  
  











  



  
Twilight of the Gods: The Essential Wagner Collection
Richard Wagner, Antal Dorati, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 1998

A great addition to my music collection
This CD takes the place of all my other Wagner music. VERY well done. Somehow I didn't realize that there were two cds in the package--what a pleasant surprise! Of the two cds, I like the first one best, but they are both good. I listen to this cd daily on my way to ...
  
  











  



  
Essential Beethoven

Sergey Rachmaninov, Charles Dutoit, ...

Decca, 2007

Wonderful Value, Great Performances
This set combines Zoltan Kocsis' fine set of the piano concertos with his stunning solo recital album (containing one of the best interpretations of the 2nd piano sonata anywhere) along with a fine version of the 2nd Symphony and the Rock. The sent concludes with the ...
  
  











  



  
Essential Guitar: 33 Guitar Masterpieces
Essential Guitar: 34 Gtr Masterpieces

Decca, 2002

Two-and-a-half hours of bliss
This may be the best money I've ever spent. I got 2-1/2 hours of bliss for less than what I'd usually pay for one CD -- and you know how it is with music. You buy an album because of a song or two that you love, and you find that you like maybe half the songs on it. ...
  
  











  



  
Essential Verdi - 40 of His Greatest Masterpieces (2 CD Set)
Giuseppe Verdi, Alberto Erede, ...

Decca, 2001

Just Stunning!
In my opinion this recording is stunning. I am not usually a fan of compilations in classical music, as they're usually watered down representations made under the presumption that the listener would find the full-blown version intimidating or boring. This one, ...
  
  











  



  
The Power & The Majesty: Essential Choral Classics
Robert Shaw Festival Singers, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Choruses

Telarc, 1995

Best of American Choral Singing!
This CD could be the cornerstone of your choral music library! Wonderful performances of all of the essential choral pieces give a wonderful introduction to choral music for someone new to it, and also give a nice sampler of the best pieces for someone already familiar ...
  
  











  



  
Essential Vivaldi: 20 Greatest Masterpieces
a. Vivaldi

Deutsche Grammophon, 2002

Awesome CD
I am ever in search for music for canine freestyle and my choreographer suggested that I explore Vivaldi. My dog works great to Mozart so this was not a great departure musically. So I bought this album...It exceeded my expectations as the musicians play with emotion, ...
  
  











  



  
Essential Bach
Janos Starker, Johann Sebastian Bach, ...

Decca, 2000

Exquisite Essential Bach
Value and exquisite sampler of Bach on two CD's at an affordable price. Recorded by the likes primarily of Academy of the St. Martin-in-the-fields, Chicago Sympony, Boston Symphony, English Chamber Orchestra and with virtuoso performers as William Bennett, Heinz ...
  
  











  



  
Essential Baroque
Essential Baroque

Decca, 2002

High-quality, marvelously varied intro to baroque music
I am buying this as the perfect gift for Russian and Chinese scientist friends. They have knowledge of classical music but perhaps not much about baroque music, which achieved special popularity in the U.S. during the 1970's and 1980's. Russians seem to have more ...
  
  











  



  
The Essential Tallis Scholars
Gregorio Allegri, Antoine Brumel, ...

Gimell UK, 2003

The Greatest Hits of a Pioneer Ensemble
For years, Tallis Scholars have been quietly revolutionizing our recovery of sacred music. This is their "greatest hits" collection and quite great indeed. The Miserere which begins the set is alone worth the price of the set. The only fault with it is that it is so ...
  
  











  



  
Ultimate Wagner: The Essential Masterpieces
Richard Wagner, Georg Solti, ...

Decca, 2008

Visit Bayreuth for two dollars a disc
This is a fantastic bargain, an overlooked 5-CD tour of Bayreuth from the Sixties (Karl Bohm's mid-decade Ring cycle) through the Seventies (Silvio Varviso's 1974 Meistersinger) to the Eighties (James Levine's 1985 Parsifal). The only outsider is Solti's studio ...
  
  











  



  
Essential George Gershwin
Various Artists

Sony, 2003

Gershwin on the Money!
Perlude #2 of Gershwin's "Three Preludes" is my all time favorite piece of music, and this wonderful cd presents it in a warm and loving way, as I think George Gershwin would have.
  
  











  



  
Essential Leonard Bernstein
Peter Schmidl, Leonard Bernstein, ...

Deutsche Grammophon, 2001

Wonderful Bernstein
For anyone who loves Bernstein (or even for those who don't), this is the CD to purchase. Includes excerpts from some of his most famous stage and serious works. It has performances with some of worlds top names, original casts, and later revisions.
