The Essential Yo-Yo Ma

Hector Console

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

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 ...

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. ...

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, ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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.
